Frimp is a site that tries to be an online yard sale. You can browse around the stuff for sale in your area and post items for sale. It also takes advantage of its onlininess to let you watch for new items posted in your area, or post want ads that email you when matching items are posted.
Disclaimer: I am affiliated with Frimp. In fact, I wrote most of it. If you want me to die a long, lingering death by starvation, DO NOT SIGN UP. Thank you.
It has been free so far, and we would like to keep it free. We can survive off Google ads if we get enough members. With that in mind, we have a set Frimp free campaign going on. If we can get 10,000 new users (each with at least one item posted) by March 15th, 2006, we’ll assume that we can get enough members that we will never need to charge. Of course, there is no obligation if you sign up – this is not a scam to get people to sign up and then charge them! We do not ask for credit card information.
Our main features:
- Search for items for sale near you or across the US
- List as many items as you like, for free
- Add pictures to your items
- All of your items are displayed on your personal store
- Receive daily emails when items you care about are added
- Print a flier to advertise your items at your workplace, store, or church
- Create a group for your favorite online forum, so you can meet & trade stuff with members in your area
What you could do to help me is sign up and list at least one item (this takes less than 2 minutes – I timed it 
Then visit the set Frimp free page and send the message at the bottom to friends you think might be interested in your stuff or the site. If you wanted to help even more, you could post the message on your favorite online forum. Who knows, you may live in the same town as one of your favorite members!
