Since my previous post, regarding the social ethics of thrifting, seems to be garnering me a bit of attention from other thrift-store loving Bloggers, I have a question: Is there an online forum anywhere where people trade their thrift finds? I know some boards have their own forums for that (such as Mothering Dot Com), but I was thinking of something more general, or a forum attached to a DIY/Craft/Thrift board. Anybody know of such a thing? I'm always finding stuff that is great, but just not something I need. I'd love to have a reason to buy it.

There was a blog called thrift.barter.buy (http://thriftbarterbuy.blogspot.com/) set up but it never really got off the ground. A good idea though!

http://yardsalequeen.spreebb.com/index.php?showforum=4 www.yardsalequeen.com has a forum for listing thrift store and yard sale finds. Many of the board members have blogs where we rattle about our finds too.
