I am trying to locate good online resources for thrifting and freecycling items, and have had some tips for good resources that I put into a list. I found out about Kijiji yesterday, but other than Wikipedia entries (and the sites branding-oriented info), I know little.

If anyone knows, I'd love to get some more information regarding Kijiji.

  • Is it frequently used by Canadians for classified ads regarding second hand?
  • Is there a more popular option?
  • Is it fequently used for free items/freecycling?
  • Is it moderated or unmoderated?
  • It seem to be free to post ads, but they charge for increased visibility.

Thank you in advance.

Kijiji is very hit-or-miss, but you can find good stuff. Not sure of the market penetration in your area, but VarageSale may be worth trying.
