Freecycle

[PerfectAngel]

just a little tip for some that dont have a ton of money to spend on decor.. tank supplies and such... yahoo.com has a group called Freecycle.. it's broekn up in states and cities.. i'm sure most fo you know about it, but if not and you find one by your area.. there's tons of peopel giving away old tanks and supplies in my area oddly enough...


it's @ Yahoo.com you have to sign up and you type in yoru city or state with the word freecycle in the search for groups...

just thought i'd throw in some 2 cents

Thanks for the awesome link Perfectangel.

Freecycle is such a great idea...thanks so much for mentioning it! I really hope that this idea grows *thumbsups

I tried my local freecycle for tanks...no one had any they wanted to get rid of <sigh>

 

[PerfectAngel]

maybe not right now.... it comes and goes.. and new people find out about a way to get rid of unwanted junk without throwing it away all the time.. so if you need something to get rid of.. and not worth selling.. maybe someone else needs it... and vise versa...

i'm glad you all enjoyed the idea sure hope you get that Tank Roundeyez...

Twoluvcats.. maybe not right now.. but you never know.. that's the beauty of the place

wow i feel all useful for a moment... okay.. moment has passed

I just got a free 10 gal set up with everything, including an angelfish and pleco for free!

Pleco's goin' to the LFS, and depending on the condition of the angel...who knows.

You can also check www.craigslist.com for free stuff in your area. Unfortunately I might have to lock the site off of our home computer because my wife keeps finding free furniture there, and I'm getting sick of driving all over town to pick the stuff up.

FreeCycle just spam your email with ads thats why I left using freecycle and when to Cragslist ....

 

[RockingCricket]

So THAT'S where the new flood of spam has come from!!

If you check your freecycle options, you can choose not to receive email - then you don't have to worry about the flood of mail.

I've been on freecycle for a while (mainly used it to get rid of stuff after the wedding and before/after moving).

Unfortunately, I just missed a 44g corner with stand and equipment that someone gave away for free this past Saturday. Darn!

There's 3 local groups in my area, but one of them (more snobby area) does not allow any wanted/offers with live fish. So on that one you can aquire/clear equipment, but not if it has fish with it.
