OT Freecycle finder

Just a heads up on a new thing for freecyclers.
http://www.freecycle.org/finder lets you put in a phrase of something you're
looking for, and your geographic area. It will search all the local
freecycle posts for it, and also let you sign up for email alerts about
future posts. NAYY.

Yep, I use Freecycle when I can around here. It's a good place to trade
and find homes for things you don't need. Around here we seem to get a
lot more "I want" postings rather than "I am offering".

I found a home for some stuff (old books and an even older stereo
components), and I got an almost new faux fur coat and a new friend with
Freecycle.

Boy do I understand. I'm on the Sonoma County list and I stopped
reading because it just got crazy with people asking for stuff.

there is a lot of offering going on in the seattle chapter... I used it
give stuff away before we moved

I've had a similar problem. I have only once put a want ad up and I
tried to be specific so I wouldn't waste anyone's time. I almost
completely gave up the idea of freecycling knowing that people would be
such jerks.

I will list things, but probably won't ask for anything again.

I did get a bowling ball to put in my garden through freecycle... Fun!
I'd like to have a dozen more, the wilder the better! I have turned
into the crazy cat lady in the pink house that lived down the street
from us when I was growing up. Well minus the cats and the pink house.
But there is still time for that! )
