Could we have a forum dedicated to this? -------------------- Rhonda Create your own family sticker graphic at pYzam.com

Thats a good idea, I have stuff I'd love to pass on to someone here, just didn't know how to go about it!

Changing lives one diaper at a time since 2006 Group: Members Posts: 839 Member No.: 3,297 Joined: 15-February 06	I guess I just always thought of the Freebies as websites where you could get free stuff. And I know I hate looking through all the swaps and things - with dial-up opening each post can get to be a hassle. They have a FFS forum on another board that I am part of and it's really cool - and I think brings out a little generousity in people. Instead of throwing away stuff it lets them offer it to others who might could use it - free of charge. -------------------- Rhonda Create your own family sticker graphic at pYzam.com

But we could just post a thread in the Coupons, Swaps and Freebies forum and it wouldn't be like having to click links or go to other sites, right?

I need to get my junk organized and then I'll post there what I've got.

Sometimes it's just easier to post a link instead of rewriting a whole other blurb. Not to mention that if someone has something for sale, then there's no real choice but to open up their post. I guess I just don't know what you mean, because even if there a different forum, it's still the same people posting. Sorry, dunno. -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

I guess I was thinking if I had a bunch of girls clothes I'd just post a thread that described them and maybe some pics and what the shipping would be. I think the concept of what bamamom was saying is that it's free to whoever wants it, they just have to pay shipping more than an ebay listing or something like that. But I think the coupons, swaps and freebies is the place to do it.

You list the item(s) for the taking, they e-mail you and you can make arrangements with whoever to come pick the items up. Everything listed is 100% free.
