Selling and giving away stuff

If you have something you don’t want any more, but that a neighbour might. here’s some advice on how to pass it on.

  • Go to sites such as ebay, Amazon Marketplace, Gumtree, Shpock to advertise it (inter)nationally to get a good price
  • Use the Walthamstow Sell or Swap group on Facebook to list the item for sale or free to local people.
  • Surplus food can be gifted to nearby people using the Olio app.
  • For other items you are willing to give away free, use Trash Nothing.

You can also offer your item on the QBC group on Facebook or even your road’s WhatsApp group. However we suggest that since you can reach more people, you will have more success quicker if you try the options above first. This also keeps those groups focused on their main purposes. Think how busy they’d be if everyone posted all their excess stuff on them!

Lastly you could wait until another QBC jumblesale takes place, or else put the item out on your front wall for any passers by to take.
