An article in the last issue discussed numerous websites dedicated to recycling,  trading, bartering and borrowing.  I have compiled all of them into a list and added one that I just discovered this week, shopgoodwill.com. This is not your mother’s Goodwill so be sure to hide your credit cards when you look it up. I went into shock when I saw the items and the prices. It is an auction, however, but there were Prada shoes for $9.00. Digital cameras started at $11.00 and up (you can give me a camera over shoes any day).

So make a note of these websites so the next time your shopping finger twitches you can give something a second life:
1800recycling
shopgoodwill.com
Craigslist,
ebay
Freecycle
NoLongerNeedIt.com is a site dedicated to allowing people to buy, sell and trade their stuff – or even just give it away – saving money and keeping items in the consumer stream and out of landfills
Rentalic is a site that was recently started up in California’s Bay Area and they’re seeing booming business as people decide to rent out items they rarely use, such as workshop tools or kitchen devices. It’s like a tool lending library, but you can earn some cash for stashed items you rarely need.]
Tradeaway The world’s largest.barter site.
Barterquest Goods for services (I saw an Ipod there). Think a Mazda for massages..
