Welcome to Topeka Hand2Hand. Our mission is to help save our local landfills and to promote the recycling of usable items. If you have an item that is still usable, or repairable, before you throw it away, why not see if your "trash" is someone else's treasure?

Rules of the game:
*Everything posted here must be FREE.

*Phone numbers and addresses are not allowed (for safety reasons)

*Please do not respond to WANTED posts with offers of items you have to
sell. Likewise, do no offer to pay for items when you post a wanted message. Everything should be freely given and freely received.
Items for sale may be posted on the topekasaleandbuygroup (all one word)on the yahoo groups.

*No religion, no politics, no s*e*x, no bartering and no advertising.

*No garage sale posts. After a garage sale is over.......you may post free stuff.

*Group members voted to not allow pet postings on this board. We refer pet posts to The Topeka Pet Exchange at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/topeka_pet_exchange

*Group members voted to not allow First Come First Serve/Come And Get It offers.

*Please use common courtesy in your dealings with other list members. Treat other people as you would expect to be treated. Don't promise an item to one member, then give it to another (unless the first member is a no-show). Show up when you say you will. If you can't, call or e-mail, and don't get upset if the giver makes other arrangements if you don't let them know. Likewise, do not show up terribly early for your pick-up appointment. Remember that when someone makes an offer, they're giving you a gift.

*Post an offer - one is required (more is better) before you begin posting wants.

Please make the subject lines in each of your posts as follows:

*Offer – purple octopus

*Pending – purple octopus

*Taken – purple octopus

*Wanted – purple octupus

*Found – purple octopus

*Contact – Looking for lady with purple octopus

REMEMBER BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER
