On your mark...

We are proud to announce that the first phase of Yoink will be launched tonight.

Yoink needs you to tell us something you don't need.  We are counting down from 9999 items and once we hit 0, we'll open the flood gates and you can Yoink items from others in your local area.  To kick it off though, it's all about giving.

Everyone has things they don't need, as big as a car or as small as a pen.  Unclutter your life and give back to your community in one fell swoop by giving things away on Yoink.  You might have been thinking about selling some things but is it worth the hassle?

7 Things to Give Away

 

  • Furniture that is cluttering your home
  • Crockery and kitchen things you never use anyway
  • Old laptops and computer accessories
  • Watches and jewellery you never wear
  • Clothes...seriously do you need that pair of shoes you never wear?
  • Ornaments and homewares
  • DVDs and CDs that you never really watch anyway
What are some things you want to give away?  Or things you want to get free?  Let us know in the comments!

This is awesome, I just donated a bunch of stuff to Vinnies but I've still got some things lying around, will have a look on the weekend. Sure I've got a bunch of Bluetooth gadgets I don't need.

What would I love to yoink? An electric guitar... I'm just getting back into playing after a 9 year absence <3

Hey, what state are you in? I've got an electric guitar in storage that I'd be happy to give away to someone who'd get good use out of it. It'd be at least 10 years old though. It's funny I didn't actually think of giving it away until you mentioned it.

Wow, that was quick - I'm like this website already ;-) I'm in Western Australia. If you aren't, I'm sure someone else in your state could use one!

Hey Wendy, I've added that guitar to Yoink. It's in Gwelup in WA.
