I hope I'm not out of bounds my putting this in this section, but here goes.
In the Detecting Classifieds (currently) on this forum a few people have gotten into listing up detecting items for free! I've seen this work very well on other none metal detecting forums. On those like here anybody could (can) give away anything at any time, but once a year the members looked forward to the yearly give away "Event".
The idea is to go though their stuff, find some things that are still usable but they gotten two or three of them, or upgrade to something better and list it on the forum.
Some people given the items away may even pay for the shipping, but that can be listed either way.
The idea is in offering this stuff up for free is for people that are going to us it, or at lest pass it on to someone who will. Its not being done for people to just grab the stuff and stick it on ebay! if something comes up and you want it or need it, then grab it!
Its concept is really to show that the people in this hobby and the members on the forum are generous, caring, and like to help others and not the kind of people that are always looking to scam somebody.
If it takes off and does well I thought it could be called something like "The Month Of May Item Give-Away".
No, its not a scam.
Its just something different,
It can be fun, interesting, helpful and can even clean out and make some room in our closets for NEW STUFF!
Stop by and see if something comes up you would like to have.
