The Really Really Free Market

[snowbunny]

Has anyone been to a Really Really Free Market? I'm thinking about organizing one for my town, but never having been to one I was wondering what the vibe is.

I've been checking out this site. It just seems like such a great concept!

[superstella]

I've never been to one, or even heard of one, but what a great concept! I'd love to go to something like that.

Wow, that's a really awesome idea! Sadly, I've never been to one, let alone haerd of one.

We had one of those locally a few weekends ago. It was organized by a freecycle group. I love the concept too.

Oh, that is wonderful! I got a tear in my eye reading about it.

I wonder how a "Free garage sale" would pan out. (We have a whole lot of clutter to give away very soon.)

In my experience in the past we have had a hard time giving stuff away, but charge 5-20 bucks on craig's list and it will fly away as fast as you can sling it. It is a sad state of affairs when it is easier to sell junk than to give it away
