I haven't signed up for Freecycle in my area yet because I just moved. However, because my boyfriend and I moved in together with pretty much nothing except a bed, my boyfriend's mom got on freecycle and was able to get us:

2 small bookshelves,
a coffee table,
an end table,
a love seat that looks brand new,
and a recliner loveseat!!!!

So, we were able to furnish pretty much our entire apartment thanks to it!!!

This is a Freecycle, sort of. We have a "friend" who ran a dormitory style drug rehab facility, it was a huge beautiful home, with $5000+ house payments. Unfortunately they were unable to keep up the payments. They pretty much gave away everything in the home, we were a little late on the notice, but still ended up with several great things.

Large yellow enamel stock pot, leather office chair, two bookshelves, 50+pot holders, hand towels, kitchen towels, 20 plates, 10 small white Sterlite open baskets, wooden bow back kitchen chair, two extra large bread pans and golf clubs and bag.

I love Freecycle. I got into it last year, and now am the owner of our local group.

I have given away a lot more than I have got from Frecycle. I gave away a trampoline, older computer printers, an old laptop, 2 stereos, and CDs, tapes, and VHS tapes my husband didn't want anymore.

Great things I have gotten our bags of almost new baby clothes and toys for my nephew. I got a Aquadoodle brand new in box. A sewing machine, and a small wooden table that fits our phone nice. I recieved a toilet also, but it didn't work for our house so i freecycled it again.

I have given away a lotta stuff!
It was nice getting it out of here. Had some problems with one person taking EVERYTHING (including MY stuff) off my porch without even calling me first - they found me in the online phone book, got a truck, came and took it all. Meanwhile someone else got a truck and came to get the stuff we had arranged and it was all GONE. I felt so bad.

I have gotten:
a restaurant/cafe heavy round table for my breakfast nook
a tv for my sons room
a dog crate (which I then gave away with the dog we got it for)
dog stuff

Given away:
A dog
dog crate and stuff
furniture (three rooms full!)
kids clothes
game boys
phones - cell and regular
blankets and bedding
toys
fabric
craft stuff
candles
perfume
stereo
tv
books
games
bikes
wow and other stuff I am sure.

I originally signed up for freecylce when i lived in maryland. I loved it then. I gave away tons of perfect clothes many with tags, plenty of furniture, even food. The things I picked up there were great items like a freezer in great working condition, a cabinet over the toilet and one lady met me in her lexus with atleast 5 30 gallon trashbags of name brand new clothes.

Since moving back to South Carolina I have been dissapointed. I have given away a gazebo, ps2 that needed to be fixed, an xbox that need to be fixed, razor pocket rocket bike, razor scooter, bikes atleast 3, a good 40 trash bags of clothes, christmas decorations, linens, dishes, furniture, bags upon bags of food, a lawnmower that needed to be cleaned, and just gave away a dollhouse bookcase.

i have received a gorgeous rotating christmas tree, an awesome loft bed from my neighbor 2 houses down, and a bag of clothes the reeked so bad i stopped at the nearest dump and got rid of them, more clothes so nasty they should have been burned, an area rug that smelled like a dog dried off on it and it was huge i felt so dirty after touching it.
