my town has a buy-nothing fb page...apparently its a nationwide thing...
www.buynothingproject.org
it can actually be pretty cool. Someone has something in their house that they don't use anymore and instead of throwing it away, they put it up on the town's buy nothing page and people put their proverbial names in a hat and then the person picks a winner.
people put some great things up - skis, lawn mowers, kids clothing, etc. Given that i live in a fairly well-to-do town, you can get some great stuff on there.
but you also have to wade through the crap. sometimes people put up things like half empty boxes of pasta, broken lamps, or tattered clothing from the 1980's. my recent favorite was a lady who offered up a 1000 piece puzzle....but she said "it's missing a few pieces."
who the hell would want an incomplete puzzle??
sometimes i want to post snarky comments on the ridiculous items that are offered up but it's definitely not that kinda page and i'd probably get banned
