Dear Members;
We have started a site devoted to listing items you have to give away or items you would like to acquire for the shipping cost.
Items to give away must be free except for shipping costs. No "handling charges" just actual cost to ship.
We hope to bring together folks with good, usable items and folks who could use those items.
Initially, at least, we will only consider participating members from this forum as members of the Trading Post. The Admins of the Trading Post will have sole say in who will get a membership. This is to keep it sane and clear of 6 billion "Me too" posts.
Whether or not a person wishes to share the item with someone is purely up to that person.
The purpose is to redistribute good items one member has to other members who will use them.
We are working this out as we go along so things may change along the way.
Not much listed yet but that should change.
We have one member with a fair bit of industrial power control hardware that is perfectly useful but can not be put into use "used" and we hope to distribute things to folks who will use them.
While discussing how best to painlessly redistribute this stuff we thought lots of others may be in a similar situation.
There is a signup page HERE
We have openings for those wishing to give away items and an area for items wanted. Please be reasonable with requests. We don't want one user requesting every component known to man.
So, come on over and check it out.

I was not clear on this but this is not officially part of FieldLines. It is an idea we came up with on IRC when Dean offered a bunch of stuff he would have to scrap unless he could get rid of it. Mainly fungus, myself, Dean and a couple other users tossed the idea together and posted this story. From idea to functioning resource in a couple hours. Just wanted to note the bit about it being a separate resource from FieldLines. TW
