There is supposed to be a website where you can post items that you wish to give away. I just don't know the name of it.  I have a friend who got a television set because someone was giving it away for free.  I'm just not sure what the name of the website is called.

By what scale?  Anyway... Try starting with this link listing. It's likely you won't find any free activity sites, but you can purchase some stuff through these people. Good luck!

I've recently tried a reverse auction from a site that I found on google adwords. I posted my wanted ad for a playstation. I requested a lower price and I had a good deal. There was only one bid but the transaction was successful and I received the item. I'll give it another shot !

The ethos behind freecycle is giving away unwanted items, so this might not be what you are looking for.\n\nOn the origional question, the problem with alternative auction sites is that they have significantly less users, so your items are less likely to sell.

There probably is a p.o. box or something where this stuff goes.  I am pretty sure her staff sifts the entries & she only sees what they give her to watch. I sent a picture of a Christmas present that I thought was hilarious, but didn't even get an acknowledgement that it was received, so I think only a very tiny percentage of material ever makes it to her.  But keep trying - you never know!

You can put it on www.craigslist.org for free. Just put something like $150 or best offer and see what happens. But if it's only in fair condition, I would'nt expect much.

Only if they are non profit and you got a receipt. Then you could claim it if you itemize. Otherwise just wait for karma to mail you some luck and kindness down the road.

There were catalogs when I was a kid that would offer free stuff from different companies.  Samples, coloring books, little toys, stuff like that.  I know there are sites that offer free stuff, but I think they just hook you so that they can send spam to your inbox.  If you are willing to take the chance...

My family received the Nielson Ratings book about 5 years ago, but I've never known anyone else that received one.  It's a journal/booklet kind of thing where you document what you watch at what time on each television in your house.  I believe we kept it for a week and then mailed it back.  They enclose a 10 dollar bill when they request your help.  I know we just kept ours in our living room and filled it in.  It was fun to think that someone would consider what we watched at our house for national television ratings.

maybe ebay.com or amazon.com? also maybe your community has some sort of "for sale" paper or website where things can be listed for free?

Bravo for you! Makes me happy to see you offering this stuff...but you should tell the people how....tell them to contact you or something for info...

What are they claiming they are or do?\n\nIt might be another site pretending to be connected to eBay and therefore you may be able to report them to eBay.\n\nAnyways,.. only put money into your own business or to help a friend/family member over the hump to start up something you will help with and know will be sucessful.

Don't worry about it.  Those are mostly scams anyway.  Nobody ever gets the free stuff.
