Did you know about our Nearly New boards in Mumsnet Local? <blows modest trumpet>

Hello. It's recently become clear to us cos some very nice MNers mailed us to tell us so that not very many of you know about our very lovely Nearly New boards in Mumsnet Local.

Basically, it's a place where you can sell, swap or give away Nearly New stuff to MNers who live near you.

It's free to use - and you can even upload fancy pics and everything!

Do please go and have a look - and use it if you can. It's a great way to clear out clobber you no longer need but that someone else may absolutely love to have

Yes, MinnieBar, as long as they're nearly new/second-hand (assume we're talking reusable/cloth nappies!) ie as long as you're not selling new, never-used ones. If you want to do that, you'll have to take out a classified ad or use our main For Sale boards.

@UnChartered

so i've got a 'starter pack' of bambino mio's which were opened, a few items used, but then discarded and the rest is sitting in a box under the stairs, where would i advertise that?

Yep, that could go on the Nearly New boards

We are working on Big Plans to make Mumsnet Local better and much more exciting. More on that in the next few months but def soon.

@Somethinginthewoodshed

Nope I can't make it work on the mobile site

Scroll down a bit - there's some embarrassing white space at the top...

@MelodyPondering

Can't get it to work at all on mobile site...

Try scrolling down, MelodyPondering - it is there, honest!

And, yes, we do know that some Mumsnet Locals are tumbleweed a bit less busy than is ideal.

That's why we're planning a revamp - it'll all be much better organised and all round super-busy .

But, as it'll be a little while coming, we'd thought we'd big up the Nearly New boards now. Cos they work - and they're v useful (potentially)

@Plaguegroups

So how does the postcode thing work then, will anyone and everyone be able to see which street I live in Confused or does the advert not specify username?

You can untick the 'show nickname' box if you want, Plaguegroups. Or you could do a quick namechange.

@Somethinginthewoodshed

No, really it doesn't work

I'm on the mobile site

You click. Nothing ........

What doesn't work, exactly, Somethinginthewoodshed? Can you not get into Mumsnet Local at all? Or just not get into the Nearly New boards?

@rockinhippy

I've just added a couple of bits & thought I should let you know it wasn't at all easy Confused -

The software did very strange things with my photos - made them all stripeyConfused & every time I tried to edit the striped photos - it changed the pound sign to a list of numbers & symbols - at one point my item was showing as for sale for $3325Shock

I got there in the end, but its taken about 6 goes with each upload - might that be because I use a MAC, rather than PC ??

Oh dear. That doesn't sound good. Sorry. Will pass your comments on to the Tech team. Hope you find a buyer/taker!

@UnChartered

i've been rubbish as a Tsarina as i didn't understand a lot of what was allowed to stand and what wasn't...and initial probs with my tsarina NN not registering sort of put me off Blush

can we have a training session with cake at all?

Deffo on The List, UnChartered. But please feel free to delete obvious spam and to move Events that really aren't one-off events into the Directory Listings

@Somethinginthewoodshed

I put in my postcode, press 'submit' and nada. Nothing happens. May be there isn't a local one for me Confused

Well, that is indeed odd. Could you drop us a mail at contactus at mumsnet dot com and we'll try to sort you out?

[quote whomovedmychocolate]Helen@Mumsnet. Could you resend me the tsarina guide please. I've been terribly slatternlike in my area (Oxford). Blush[/quote]

We'll do that, whomoved. Looking forward to a de-slatterned Oxford Local

@YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag

No one is offering anything in my area either?

Are all enfield people very mean??
Or do they keep their old stuff forever?

How do I advertise my stuff MNHQ

Maybe I can inspire the rest :)

You can advertise/sell your stuff here YourFanjo

HelenMumsnet · 18/05/2012 10:20

Our pleasure.

Do please use the Nearly New boards: the more people use them, the better they'll be.

HelenMumsnet · 18/05/2012 15:20

I will def pass that suggestion on - thank you
