i love going to yard sales but don't like having them as there are easier ways to get rid of stuff... my mom has a stall at the swap meet (local flea market) so i just take my small amount of extras down there to sell... certain items we might craigslist or even Ebay...

i actually like the idea of freecycle for cheap but usable stuff (stuff you wouldn't get much if any money for)... there are lots of people out there who aren't poor enough for government assistance but could still use the help... honestly, hard-working people that i don't mind giving to...

unfortunately in practice it is difficult to implement... i see people on freecycle asking for things that just make me shake my head... so i try to practice freecycle in a more personal style... for any useful item that we have that don't sell, i try to make sure i give it to somebody i know who can hopefully use and enjoy it... we try not to throw things away if possible...
