Beg, Steal and Borrow

(First, sorry for the posting hiatus, the adjustment from the school year to the summer always throws me for a loop)

Do you have something that you'd like to sell, something you'd like to buy or borrow, something you'd love to give away??? Well, starting today, we're going to use this site as a forum for facilitating those sorts of transactions. Think of it as an expanded version of the section of the information folder that lists things needed and for sale (true confessions: that's actually the only part of the info folder I faithfully read). Or a scaled down version of freecycle or craigslist.

Anyways, I haven't worked out the details, so if you have suggestions, feel free to voice them. For now, I think I'll post something weekly, and people can leave their requests/offerings in the comments section with contact information about how people can get in touch with you.

I love this idea (it wasn't mine, so I can say that freely) because it's like the early church "sharing everything in common" which is so great! Only one word of warning, from freecycle experience where people can get really greed-monger-y: remember your Consumed lessons and go forth and barter!
