Do you know Scoodi?

Have you come across Scoodi yet?

Do you have things you don't want anymore but think its a waste to throw out? Or just haven't got around to taking it to an Op shop or finding someone who may want your old loved things?
Try Scoodi.

Ha ha I sound like a sales lady. I just think this is a great idea.

Its a great site for giving away or selling things you don't want anymore to people who are happy to travel to you. No going to the post office or the tip. It means we reduce landfill and recycle more. You can also find things that you may need or want on it too.

I love how you can select the distance you are happy to travel, makes browsing for new stuff fun!

We first came across Scoodi when living in Brisbane. Actually Mic knew the guys who created it and asked us to check it out. We found it great. Got rid of a few things that we were happy to throw out but were too big to put in the bin so a tip visit was required. We didn't have a car big enough nor a trailer. Some guy thought our broken desk and bike(that we had no idea how to fix) was worth something, he came and collected them and fixed them up for his grandkids!

I've been talking to the guys at Scoodi about reving up some business down here in Sydney as everytime I look there is barely an item on it. They have told me that if I can list at least 10 things and encourage some others to, they will then run an article in the local paper. It is a FREE service so they can't easily run a advertising campaign. The problem is it can't grow without any items on it as when people look and see nothing they don't use the site.

I think this is a fantastic site and I would encourage you in the next few weeks to find just a few things to post on it and see how you go. It can be anything from furniture to toys, books, cds, old computer parts, plants, craft surplies, clothes. Anything at all.
