Description:

This swap is pretty simple: send some stuff you found!

For those of you who are shy of climbing in with the garbage bags, don't worry, you can start off gently by looking for stuff people leave out at the end of their driveways to give away. As long as you find it somewhere in public it counts for this swap, so dumpster diving, beach combing, etc is all fine.

Note that this isn't a swap for re-purposing garbage into art (maybe next time), just for passing on some things that were acquired in a non-traditional/consumerist way.

Since all of this will be free there's no dollar limit but do make an effort to send something nice that you think your partner would like/use/be interested in. Lets aim for filling at least a small bubble envelope.

Don't forget to add a small note to say hi, where/how you got the items, if you have any treasure-finding tips etc.

In terms of rating, be prepared to get some pretty random stuff and don't rate down for weirdness, after all, that's what we're all here for :)

And most important... have fun with this! I hope you all have adventures while putting this swap together!

I love this idea! It's flea market/tag sale season too so there's some opportunities for great finds!

Those places are great for getting second hand stuff but just to clarify, this is only for things found, not bought. Thanks for the enthusiasm though and I hope you still join!
