I just learned of a site today where you get things for free. It is called Listia.com. I was already familiar with Freecycle and I started wondering how many other such sites there may be online. Do you know of other sites like this and do you use either of these?

I use a local Israeli site. Sometimes Craig's list has free stuff. There are also many "freebie" sites on the web, where you can get free samples.

I did not know Craigslist had free things. I'll have to check that out sometime.

Sure! There are all kinds of free things available on Craigslist. I think there is even a section for free things. A couple months back, a guy was giving away a huge TV to anyone that could come and pick it up. It was huge! Kind of like the one you would have seen back in the eighties. Not modern, but usable. At the time, our car wasn't working, so no free TV for us! But, there is always next time. I'm constantly eying that section to see if something useful comes up.

I've never personally used Listia, but I have learned about it recently and I'm thinking about becoming a member on there. As far as freecycle goes, I've been a member of that since it started in my community. I've gotten some great things off of it, but I've given away far more than I've taken from other people. There is also wishuponahero.com that I've used some as well. It really isn't a free site, but it is a great resource.

I guess I would have to say I have what I have given is probably equal to what I have received from freecycle. I had forgot about wishuponahero.com but I received a couple of things from them and have given a few things there as well.
