I was thinking that it would be really cool if we had a "Free" thread stickied.

We could make a simple seller's template which the seller could describe the "Terms" such as "Completely Free" or "Free + S&H" or "Free + POTN Donation" oh heck while my wheels are still turning...


Availability: (Available/GONE)

Item: (CF Card/Blank CD's/Lens Cap)

Includes: (Box/Instruction Manual/Case)

Condition: (Good/Broken/Parts)

Seller's Terms: (FREE/Free + S&H/Free + POTN Donation)

Shipping Available To: (USA/USA + Canada/World Wide)

Contact Method: (PM/eMail/Skype)

Photos:




I know we have a "Pay it Forward" thread every now and then, which is AWESOME... but this would be more like closet cleaning thread. Something where the seller can make his/her "request", and the person receiving fulfills that request without having to offer something in return.

The last time I gave away stuff I'm confident that the forum received a good amount of donations, and I think this thread could help with forum costs.

The happiness created with such selfishness is overwhelming enough that most people who "thought" of donating might actually act on their thoughts.

What do you say?


He thought it was a good idea, and suggested I made a thread here to get some more feedback.

Please, I've got a lot of stuff I need to get rid of! :lol:

I think it would be a good idea. I have things pop up from time to time that I really don't want to sell, but would be a nice freebie to someone else. I'm in for it.

Sounds good, I have made a thread to give away stuff in the past so to have a dedicated place for it would be good.

I wouldn't mind seeing it in the Marketplace section rather than just a sticky.

I like it, other forums I'm on have a standing "Pay it forward" thread

We've done something similar here, but a stickied thread for free stuff would be great.
