I’ve been searching around for resources to add to my list of thrifting or freecycling resources online.

I’ve seen these two:

I have questions regarding each site:

  • Is it frequently used for free items/freecycling?
  • Is it moderated or unmoderated?
  • It seem to be free to post ads for both, but is there a catch?

Are there more sites like this in Germany?

I know that https://de.freecycle.org/ is also available and somewhat active. I’ve also gotten tips about https://mundraub.org/ (thank you @[email protected]) that I’ve added to the list.

Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the info. Would you call it a self-moderating system due to the rating scores?

    The give boxes seem really nice.

      You’re welcome. There is also administration/silent moderation through the company, they delete fraudulent or illegal listings and you can report other users you had interactions with. I think it lacks transparency regarding their actions. I would not call it self-moderating.

      I might post about them here in the near future.
