IMPORTANT NEWS ALERT FOR CONSUMERS:  BEG BARTER OR BUY IS HERE! First, this is NOT an auction or resale site. Here is why we are not that kind of site: Are auction or resale sites focused on the everyday consumer? Are auction sites focused on helping people? Is "going green" hard to do? Do you have to pay retail to get something "new"? Does recycling goods help us go "green"? The answer is "NO" to all these questions except the last one-RECYCLING GOODS DOES HELPS US GO GREEN !. Read on to find out how you can begin to help recycle goods, to go GREEN and help others all in one step: POST ON BEG BARTER OR BUY The question really is-Can you make a difference RIGHT NOW by changing the way you think? The purpose of this site to get away from retail pricing and auctions WHICH ARE NOT REALLY CONSUMER FRIENDLY. They are profit focused means of exchanging goods and services. This is a GREAT community where you can BEG, BARTER,or sometimes BUY almost anything! If you are looking for an auction site or somewhere you can sell to make a profit, this community is NOT for you but we encourage you to stay and maybe have a change of heart . The intent of this site is to get back to more consumer friendly and planet friendly means of exchanging goods and services through recycling of items we already have. This is an SAFE online community. This is the site for people who do not want to have strangers around your house for hours for a yard sale. This is the site for people who rent tables at a flea market when most of the stuff you end up giving away or trashing at the end of the day. Or maybe you are not a yard sale or flea market kind of person so you just throw all the "extra" stuff away. It is the site for those of us who also understand that "new" is a relative term that only benefits retailers. Let's explore how. 
Your "old" can actually be someone else's "new". As consumers we need to take back our economic power by bartering with other consumers and cut out the profit hungry conglomerates that have us caught up in their definition of "new". Their definition perpetuates the spending cycles of high priced goods by making us believe they are disposable after a short time period AND NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH SOMETHING "NEW-ER". Think about it, the life of computers, cell phones, videos games, even books that have already been read, are dictated in most cases by retailers or mega corporations. So what do you do with them when you're done? Have you ever thought those "old" items can be "new items" to someone else? Take a minute to think about it......we'll wait for you.......  
We are a "Pay It Forward" community trying to make a difference admist skyrocketing oil prices and families living from paycheck to paycheck. We are a community of Boomer-Consumers who understand that recycling benefits EVERYONE-the giver and the receiver. We throw less away which benefits the planet. We promise that we are NOT now nor will we ever be an auction or a listing site with a ZILLION crazy post! Folks with potato chips that look like Lincoln and people looking for companions or puppies or tickets for sporting events and concerts have a place to go to list. it's just not here. We just want to reach folks motivated to make a difference, one person at a time. You may not be able to save the world but you can help it become a better place. GREAT deals with GREAT people!
