Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Thirty-one matching ceramic dinner plates free to a cohousing community or group

[Craig Ragland (craigragland]

I really like this idea! What are your thoughts about a "Free" section of
the Cohousing Website Classified Ads?

http://www.cohousing.org/mkt/marketplace

Since our new launch in January, the usage of this section has skyrocketed
and we're getting excellent feedback - mostly when people sell units, but
people are also discovering groups here, etc.

Joani's offer could serve as a model - anybody could offer Free Stuff to any
cohousing community. In the spirit of this, Coho/US could let you submit
into this category for Free, i.e., No Charge.

I'd welcome thoughts on this... would you consider using it?
