Tough economic times? Freecycle!
« on: January 05, 2009, 09:16:23 AM »
I thought I'd share this tidbit with the group.


What is "Freecycling"?

Quote
When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of the local Freecycle group.

Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.

Our main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

So, before you head to the store, why not check and see if you can get it for free?! :o :o

Cause the thought of sleeping on someone else's mattress kinda makes me vomit in my mouth a little.  :-\

Those are some of the best mattresses!

Now, a hotel mattress--on the other hand....

There's no difference, IMHO. :-\

Ive been freecycling for a long time, just on craigslist in the "free" section, which gets more viewers. Just got a stereo system the other day for free.

every once in a while an organ (rarely a Hammond) will pop up in the free section on Craigslist...but then you have to figure out how to move it...
