Title: FTM Garage sale?
Post by: kenton_07 on August 22, 2014, 07:31:08 PM
Hello,

Has anyone used this site to buy anything? I hope I'm not violating any rules of the forum by asking this question.  I've noticed there's a few things I'm interested in and I was just wondering if anyone had experience with the site.

Members have given stuff like TG books away and mailed them for free.

using the site for sale items its no allowed.


Use one of the off site market sales sites.

Izzy, it is an off-site site (boy, that sounds funny).

I've never used the site myself, and I don't know anyone who has. Seems like it might be a good place to get cheap used binders.

I love the idea of grassroots exchange systems, but they definitely feel more risky than going to one of the big places.

I haven't used that site either, but if I do I'll let you know how it turns out.

Does anyone know of any similar sites to sell things that aren't being used anymore? I just have some packers and a prosthetic sitting in the box that hasn't been used because I'm getting bottom surgery.

I don't know about any sites really besides Facebook groups.

Maybe instead of garage sale, it can be an exchange. No money exchanged (other than maybe mailing fees) of ftm garb. Just list what you have and what you need.  I shall have to ask about this before saying its a go.


Would that be something that most of you think is worthwhile?

Or if one of you can make a website like that, I can see that there would be possibilities.

That I would avoid like the plague. Highest bid for used ftm gear doesn't strike me as non profit nor profitable.

Yeah I just have the problem of not having Facebook. I got rid of it after I started transitioning.

edit: I may create one though. Do you know the names of the groups?
