Freecycle

I have just discovered the world of Freecycle, the online swap meet. It is absolutely amazing. I have a box of things here that I don't need/use anymore, and I'd like to get {insert such here}. Somebody out there happens to have one of my wants sitting in their box-for-trade and one of my surplus items on their want list. Freecycle is just a nifty (free!) local-based service to get the two of us in touch. A trade-off is made, two happy people get what they wanted and got rid of something they didn't make use of anymore. What a wonderful website!

Freecycle has numerous nodes based in many US cities. All you need to do is pop over to www.freecycle.org, find the metropolis nearest you and join their group. Easy as pie.

I figure I'll take all the things left over from the Great Purge Craigslist sale and list them as "Items for trade" on Freecycle. Who knows, maybe we will end up with a bookcase?

I'll post more as I get further into this lovely system... I'm still waiting for my acceptance email at the moment. ^_^

TLDR: You + Google{freecycle}=win.
