    Default best way to offload old spare parts?

    i have tonnes of parts for holden/chev/nissan etc that i have had sitting around "in case i would need them" for aaages and im getting sick of them all. i put up a dizzy and a few other things on ebay and got bugger all, which is fine cos' i just wanted them gone, but then your are faced with plebs that cant read PICK UP ONLY and ask about postage, then get all poopy when you say "i CBF sending it, thats why it had a 99 cnet starting bid" or the other one is "can you wait till friday for payment..?" ... THE f..K its 5 frikken bucks dude!!!

    rar rar rar.

    there must be a better way to give these parts away. most of em' ill gladly just hand to the first person who wants them.. but whats a good way to go about it?

    ebay sucks. its fully or cheap losers that cant read.

    will try a post in the for sale section. i put up some free 17" tyres on there once and didnt get one reply, mostly cos they were not rwc but meh, they were still free.

    someone mentioned freecycle? i used to use that in oxford UK, is there one here in melbourne??? i love that idea.

    Yeah, Melbourne's got one - The Freecycle Network - about the Melbourne Group

    They're everywhere, hell, they've even got one here in Bundaberg.
