A useful recovery
We have all been in the following situation:we want to get rid of something but in vain, because "outdated", "damaged", "bulky", etc. In the end we waste our time undergoing endless bargaining attempts in garage sales, to leave with our stock under our arm! Buyers are fussy, they need something new and cheap. In short, butter, butter money, and the creamer's smile!
So, before embarking on a mission of all journeys, we think of sites specializing in the donation of objects.
donnons.org is, in our opinion, one of the best since you can find everything there. With lots of content well organized by headings ("household appliance", "furniture", "garden"…).
As far as furniture is concerned, findestmeubles.com is a very well-designed site with a mandatory photo for better visibility.
On Facebook, there is a group dedicated to tips of all kinds wanted bon plan. A train ticket, an apartment for the weekend... there are a lot of offers but we have to wait for the administrator to accept us to join the group.
How does it work?
As a "giver"
Simply create an ad on one of the specialized sites as a "donor". We post an offer by briefly describing our object to give (for example "3-seater sofa in brown leather"), with a photo, the contact and the city. Appliances that are still working or furniture can have a second life in someone who needs it. It gets rid of us, and we're doing a good deed too!
As a bargain hunter
We snoop and crack then, we make contact! Once the donor accepts, we will get the object in question for free. An exchange of good practices since in addition, we render service. It's a FREE item so no fuss, there's no return or complaint possible... don't abuse it anyway.
A mutual aid movement that helps fight against waste! We like!
