I had such a great experience last year when we were remodeling our home. I hauled very little to the dump. I gave a lot of stuff away free, like sinks, fixtures, etc. There is a free section. And I met a lot of great, young, eager people who were thankful (that who generally comes for the free or low-priced items). Used sensibly, it is a great choice.
Craigs List is great for selling items, however, I use my local Freecycle to give away stuff. Yesterday I posted 4 pairs of jeans by son outgrew / didn't like. I would rather give them to someone who needs them than give to Goodwill or Red Racks who sells them. Like DDC noted, the receivers are thankful.
My only thought about CL versus Goodwill is that really poor people are probably more likely to have access to Goodwill and less so to CL. I actually posted a notice for a guitar player. Got a local response in less than an hour.
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...

Sold 3 light fixtures and gave away 2 ceiling fans just last week on CL. Still have a medicine cabinet and garden bench. I've met the nicest people.notjustagirlintheworld says,
