Don’t you just HATE it when you have a house full of stuff that you just don’t need? And none of your friends want it? And you couldn’t be arsed taking it to Vinnies? And it’s just too good to throw away? This awesome new site (made by Mr Smaggle! Squeal!) Yoink lets you list all your unwanted stuff to be ‘yoinked’ by someone who really wants it! It’s a non-profit site that helps everyone re-use, recycle and embrace green living.
It’s too freaking easy for me to bother explaining how to use it so just visit the site and have a wander. There’s free range eggs, car parts, clothes, kids toys, jewellery… it’s awesome.
So you can give, get, not spend a cent and keep your unwanted items from becoming landfill. It’s like Ebay for free stuff!
The Yoink guys are also a running a competition where if you submit one of the first 10, 000 items you go into the running to win a $1000 Amazon gift card!
Oh and the iPhone application is on its way in January… so you can just wander around your house, take a photo on your iPhone and post it straight to Yoink. Couldn’t be easier.
Please spread the word!
Love Lady Smaggle

Fuckin’ Ace! Amy & I were just discussing what we were going to do with all the stuff we have in the house! PERFECT!

Awesome. This is like http://www.uk.freecycle.org here in the UK. I have got rid of so much junk that way. Tell Mr Smaggle I approve 😀

That’s such a neat program….I wish there was a “Yoink” application for my everyday life.

Yoink seems perfect, not a lot of stuff posted around Europe but I’m sure this is going to grow to be pretty big so, congrats to Mr Smaggle for such a great idea!

SUPER cool idea! I am totally going to be listing a few things in the new year!

Angry face – Me too! I’m moving in a year (which seems like ages away) but I don’t want to cart heaps of crap back to Canberra with me.
Rachel – Freecycle is cool but you have to register. It’s a bit of a pain.
Fashion therapist – Me too!
Luana – Thanks! Spread the word and more stuff will available to you!
Brumby – I have heaps of clothes that I have to get rid of! I’ll advertise when I’ve posted them.
