I don't have enough tim eto drop things at the op shop, so i just post to freecycle. I love it - we actually got a piano - just for the kids to play with really - until recently - when my aunt came to teach my daughter - she said that done up, it would be worth $5-6K - needless to say - the kids are no longer able to use it when eating and they must remember to close the cover. Stop the land fill!!!! Use freecycle I use freecycle all the time!! I don’t have enough tim eto drop things at the op shop, so i just post to freecycle.
