Barter Board

Stuff you don't need is quite annoying, you have to look at it, clean it, organize it, store it, or try to sell it and it just sucks the energy out of you!  Doesn't it feel great to just cut it loose!  I love dropping off a huge load of outgrown clothes to Goodwill, or selling something (especially quickly!) on Craigslist (last week, we sold a Kohler Pedastal Sink and faucet for $100 on CL, it sold in like a few hours!) But sometimes, it can be hard to just give away things that you worked so hard to pay for!  What about starting a barter board?  Put up a piece of tagboard in your work break room, and have people post things they want to barter for...or the price they will sell it for.  It is easy to connect with a lot of people at the workplace and think of all the unused stuff that could get a new home!  We have also tried a coupon drop at work, but it took alot of work to organize the coupons nicely...maybe just a bin of coupons in the breakroom for people to peruse (is that a word??) through.  This could work in mom's groups or among friends as well, maybe even a facebook app or a blog among friends?  Let me know what you all think of this idea!
