Hello! I posted this over the weekend, but I think it's such a cool idea I wanted to make sure everyone saw.
I just learned about this group and thought I'd share. Freepeats.org is a free "recycling" network for baby gear... people post items they are willing to give away, and you can also create a wish list of items you are looking for. You join in your local area, and right now membership is only $1 (for NYC, Detroit and Miami residents, it's free!).
Also, if you're not already part of Freecycle.org, that works in a similar fashion, though not limited to baby stuff.
Great ways to scout out some gently used items for free!!
