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 @00@kbin.social) that I’ve added to the list.

Thank you in advance.

I use Kleinanzeigen a lot, there are many users and no catch when posting an ad. They monetize by selling premium features to push your ad up in the listings. The worst part is probably the people trying to push the price down in the DMs. There was even a subreddit for memes about that (/r/wasletztepreis)

Thank you. I’ve now added Kleinanzeigen to the list of resources.
