Corak's Links Showing you what you should be looking at online!

Freecycle is a a growing online network of members whose entire purpose is the giving away of free stuff. It's like Craigslist where everything is free (and classier). You can enter your zip code, sign up, and then browse to find people giving away clothes, bikes, washing machines... the possibilities are endless. True, just like hunting through yard sales, there is a lot of junk, but after all, it's free!

As a side feature, you can also request items to be given to you. As you might expect, this portion of the site is crammed full of unreasonable requests and the site moderators tend to discourage extravagant requests (not that it stops people). But who knows, you might get lucky!
