A great resoarce for free stuff!

[dirtybernie]

If you like free things i suggest you take a look at www.freecycle.org
They are a large group of people that would rather see good items put to use rather than being sent to landfills. On the site you can find the closest yahoo group to you and join up. Basicly you can browse through what people are offering or you can put in a want add.
I have had great success with this and i hope you do also. :fing32:

Hey Bernie

I sent you a PM the other day .. did you get it ?? :00000060:

Rock on, Bernie! My wife uses freecycle. We got a few things here locally, including "Buddy, our newest black lab." It's only right to give back when you can though.

My wife has belonged to freecycle for all most a year now .. We have given away some stuff .. and we have gotten some good stuff.

The last thing we got was a HUGE box of toy transformers .. my 4 y/o son loves them, when my wife went to pick them up .. the women also gave him a box of power ranger toys... He is still in heaven... It was all good stuff ..some new in boxes .. with 15 - 40 price tags on the big transformers ..

We also use the free section on craigslist


Isnt the good old USA still great ?? Well in most areas anyway :fing32:

My local newspaper's classifieds section (Want ads) actually has a classification for free stuff. You folks might want to check out your local newspapers.

I just signed up to join a freecycle group for a nieghboring county,I had to fill in a tell about yourself box on the application page.Needless to say I filled it in with bontai Joe's signature line,now we'll see if that's good enough for them to approve me as a member! :fing32: ROF This just in membership approved!! :bannana:

I belong to 4 groups. Not only do I sometimes get some good stuff I can also give stuff away that I don't need or want....and they even pick it up!

[gwiz]

This is a great concept. Ever since I moved down here from NH, I missed the garbage transfer station. I usually picked up more than I dropped off. My nieghbors asked if I went shopping when I went. Now with freecycle, it is even better than a tranfer station.

We handy people sign up to get things that people no longer want. Are there enough people that are "unhandy" that sign up? I hope more do because I see people buying all sorts of new and shinny things at Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart.

Do you "have to" be part of yahoo to join freecycle?

[comp]

I tried to get onto there; and with my AT&T U verse and my new computer that everyone that knows more about computers than I probably ever will saying that this comp. is so much more than I will ever need (2-quad processor; to me when I hear 2 quad I think a blower sticking out of the hood of an ole Charger or road runner) I waited 10 min (yes; I clocked it; still a blank white screen and the lil green "process meter" at the bottom of the screen, was at about 20%
