[quote=Anonymous]I live near a state flagship university in an area with a lot of grad students. For a while I was very active on buy nothing and those grad students would take *anything*. I really appreciated that we could work together to not waste stuff but it took a while to get over my hangups and be willing to put things like a half-bottle of baby shampoo or a bag of lentils on there.

My favorite was when someone would ask for something very specific, and as someone who's lived in the same house for 15 years and had tons of relatives dump stuff on me, I could always fulfill their request. We moved from a larger house in a different state and had a lot in storage, so it was fun to slowly unload stuff. I would also put a lot of stuff up on there that could have been easily sold for a lot of money, and that made me the happiest. Gorgeous vintage mirrors, room & board couch, road bike? Take it, friends!

It brought me so much joy! I wish it had existed when I was a broke 20-something.[/quote]
