The Freebie Lover's Garage Sale

This community exists for the purpose of getting rid of your extra stuff. Got an old prom dress you can't bear to just toss out? Is there a lovely box of markers and crayons you aren't sure what to do with? Piles of old cards you meant to use for crafts driving you nuts? This is the place to offer them to people who will gladly take unwanted things off your hands. Think of this community as the garage sale you wish you could have, but every thing you 'sell' or want to 'buy' is free, except the postage which is determined by the 'seller' and 'buyer.' So... go clean out your kids toy boxes, closets, and boxes in the attic. Give that stuff collecting dust a new home. And, really, how else are you going to get rid of Aunt Ethel's tacky lime green punch bowl she gave you for your wedding?

Think of it as a smaller version of freecycle.

Community Rules:

Do NOT post anything except for stuff you want to offer. This includes illegal schemes (Anything posted regarding free iPods will be deleted and sign-up offers.)

The ONLY money you can ask for is postage. The purpose of this community is to get rid of stuff so you don't have to deal with it any more, not make money. (I suggest using Paypal or money orders.)

State whether you or the person claiming the object will pay postage.

It is suggested you post a picture of the item or post a link to the site featuring the item. (Please don't hotlink.)

Rudeness and drama = No Nos. I will ban you. There is no reason for drama here.

No used underwear such as panties, boxers, and bras. Socks are okay, they seems less likely to be an issue. I'm just trying to cut down on gross things possibly being submitted.

No food.

If you have make-up to give away, it needs to be new or very gently used. Clean the items with isopropyl alcohol, sharpen pencils, wipe down packaging and clean off lipstick.

No referral posts. Do garage sales have referrals? No. :>

Give as much information about your post as you can. If you only ship to the US, include that information. If you can't find a picture describe it as best as you can. Take measurements or something.

Comments must be enabled.

All posts are looked over before they are posted. (This means they are moderated. I am a college student who works part time so I will get to them as soon as I can.)

Enjoy!
