Ventrino Forum for Walker Scripts _ Interesting Stuff _ Have Things You Want To Give Away ? Is There Something You Want ?

I found this site a few months ago, and let me tell you, it's gotta be one of the greatest things out there.

I used to have a ton of junk lying around my house that I just couldn't bring myself to throw away, it was still good/usable items, but I just had no use for it anymore.

I signed up to Freecycle and within weeks, my junk became someone else's treasure.

It's basically an online swap site, you sign up for groups in your local area, and you can offer things you don't need anymore for free, and others do the same. So not only can you unload some of your unusable items, you can find things you might be looking for ALL FREE !

http://freecycle.org/

It's not just in the US either, there are freecycle groups all over the world !!

So, it's basically like a massive online garage sale!

I love other people's junk. My hubby doesn't let me leave the house with money on Saturday monrings, because I always get suckered into going to the garage sales!

For some reason it might be a good idea for me to stay away from that site... LOL!

Massive online FREE garage sale, everything is given away for free, everything you offer has to be free !

Hi,

This reminds me of the guy who managed to trade a house for a red paperclip. A great story if you got 5 minutes of time to waste!

Wow! That was a really interesting idea smile.gif

And here I was thinking that I was a good negotiator!!! From a paperclip to a house in 14 trades!
