I have found a local cash cow! Several locals got together and started a group for selling stuff. As I looked around at other towns, it appears to be a growing trend. It's like a very localized CL. In the search bar on FB type in your town's name (or try your neighborhood's name) and see what pops up. For instance, if you live in Lake City, you would type in "Lake City" and you might see several local businesses and service groups. Look for one that says "Lake City Stuff for Sale" or something similar and ask to join the group. Most of these groups are stay-at-home moms looking for baby stuff, but I've had some luck.
We get snow here all winter, so yard sale season stops in October. Apparently, my local group of yardsalers search and sell on this group's site during the winter. Lots of cheap and free stuff! I've gotten a dryer and a copier for free in less than a week without advertising what I do. Today, I'm posting an ISO (in search of) ad for myself stating that I pick up e-waste, appliances, metal, etc. for free. I'll tell you how it goes.
I know things slow down in the winter for collecting for many of you. I hope this helps you fill your truck! Let me know if you are successful, just make sure that your group is local, not for a similarly named town in another state.
