Another forum I used to frequent (vintage BMX), used to have a PIF forum. It was a sub forum of the main for sale forum.
The idea was simple. You listed something for free (just charge for shipping, or don't), and someone claims it. It was a great was of getting those "not worth selling" items into the hands of people that could use it. Instead of it continuing to take up space in your drawer.
Of course, the person who claims an item is expected to then list an item in return. Though that didn't always happen. But that's ok.
It started as a single post in the main forum, and wound up its own forum.
I'm gonna post a few items. The first person that claims the item in a reply, can have the item. You can only claim 1 item. I'll cover shipping within the conus.
If you claim something, you are supposed to put something of yours up, for others to claim, and so on. If you have nothing, it's ok. Also, feel free to list something, even if you don't claim anything.
Again, for this first round, I'll pay shipping in the conus. I don't think anything here is worth international shipping.
1) Harris, 16x loupe.
2) plastic loupe. 2 lenses. I'm unsure of magnification.
3) CLAIMED! Timex "clip on" watch. I think it just needs a battery.
4) Portable alarm clock. Unbranded, metal frame. Needs battery. It folds very flat.
5) CLAIMED! C3PO watch. Needs battery.
