[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are active in the buy nothing.  It's been a great way to get and give stuff.  I've gotten some decent stuff and given some decent stuff.  None of us are hoarders.[/quote]

Same here.[/quote]

Same here. I mostly use it for kids clothing, acquiring stuff for my oldest and passing along stuff my youngest is done with. Young kids grow so quickly they don't usually wear things out so stuff is usually in really good condition. And I'm glad to know my old stuff is actually being used vs "donated" or "recycled" or whatever but actually trashed.[/quote]

Same.  Almost nothing give away seems like something hoarders would want.  It's a lot of baby/kid and household stuff.  Kid stuff is especially nice to give/get because their needs are always changing.  I got a lot of good baby gear there, and then passed it along when I was done.

My favorite buy nothing score was some glass bowls that I use daily.  My favorite buy nothing give was these IKEA spice racks I imagined installing in my baby's nursery, but were in the closet 1.5 years after she was born.  Gave them to a dad who actually did install them in their babies nursery and put up a photo.  I also gave away a VERY old-model iphone with a defunct battery for a specific project some guy had.

If you are using it to try to give away actual junk, then maybe a hoarder would want it?[/quote]
