Are you interested in some free original art? Who isn't?

 

Kashless has our very own artist! Cohitre is a Seattle-based user who has taken to drawing quirky and cool dinosaurs and posting them on the site. I hope this trend continues!

 

Keep and eye on Cohitre by following their listings here: http://bit.ly/d4nNt. If any more Kashless artists emerge, we'll be sure to highlight them, too!

 

Good job, Cohitre - we love what you're doing.

Wish there was even more free stuff on Kashless.org than there is now?  The more members we have, the more people there are to connect and share with.  A great way to get your friends, family and neighbors to become a part of the Kashless family and begin practicing re-use is by helping us spread the word in your area. 

That's why we put together this Kashless Flyer:

Print 'em out, pass 'em around and spread the word about Kashless.org to your community!

Here's a picture of Kashless at Powell's Bookstore in Portland, OR:

The winner of the Kashless Celebrity Skis is Ladd!

Here is Ladd's response:

"Well Ive been elected to sing about Kashless being so tight
As a huge PUSA fan and a skiing wild man I'm feeling alright (about my chances that is)
I certainly think these lyrics will create confusion
Got a free stuff problem well Kashless' got a solution
Just let Kashless do what they do and let them connect us to free stuff
Let them connect us to free stuff, they've done connected me

Well Ive been selected to change the lyrics to this song, to this song
Im goin to do my best but the rhythm might be all wrong
Might be all wrong
Well I gave it my best cause I want Dave's skis
With some help from Kashless I might get them for free (its what they do)
Kashless do what you do and connect us to free stuff
Connect us to free stuff, they've done connected me"

** Another part of Ladd's response that won us over was this "With your permission if I get your free skis, I will be donating them to my favorite charity's auction, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, where I will probably buy them back as a donation (unless there is a deep pocketed PUSA fan in the audience in which case I will be sad to no longer have the cool skis, but happy that the money raised when to a great cause)."

Thanks Ladd for participating! We hope you enjoy the skis!


Some fantastic quotes from the runners up:

"i love kashless because i find the most random things that i actually need. it's also a great way to find unique and hard-to-find items like antiques and such. one man's trash is another man's treasure right? i also found it to be a great way to get rid of some of the things that have been sitting in our storage for years!"  -bettafly21

"economy's wrecked,

landfills, piles of disrespect,
an ingrained neglect.

tons of new objects,
consumerism's quite suspect.
mindset to correct.

with luck we'll connect
and reduce greenhouse effect.
an Earth to protect.

thank you to kashless,
purpose, savvy intersect.
skis i shall collect."

"I like Kashless!Everyone is interconnected by what we say ,do,experience and spend or trade!That is what makes us unique!Kashless keeps things moving between people and provides new friendships and experiences in life!"  - mdslhefte

"
I love going kashless (not to sound so clechy) because as a teenager without much money it is cool to have a place where I can go and find free stuff." - dbt1994

 

" I think you are doing a Just thing here by keeping Kashless going here.I came on this site a few months ago to get help with needing insulation and sheetrock. This site is a neccesity." - marsh.cleaning (Jamie)


Dave Dederer's Autographed Acoustic Guitar is NOW up on the Site!



BURNING MAN PROJECT (gone)

Uh, how to explain this? It was going to be a snail that could be ridden around. Built on a pocket bike frame. Sheet metal skin on wire frame, sheet metal needs finishing. Western saddle for seat. comes with extra motor, frame, and rear wheel. I was just going to chop this up and scrap it, but I figured some weirdo might want to take it over or use it for parts for some other project. Sorry, if you want any of it you have to take all of it.

Free Husband

I have a used husband to give away. "Free" He's been used and abused, but is still in decent shape. He's useful for small jobs around the house, but don't expect him to completely finish any job you trust him with, there will always be about 5% left undone.
He doesn't drink or smoke and has no stains. He may need re-covering 'cause he is presently covered with an old ripped tee shirt.

Uncomfortable One Night Stand Seat

By definition, love seats might be thought of as welcoming, warm, comfortable, well-crafted.

In contrast, this swell-looking couch is more of a one-night stand seat: slipshod, poorly made, garish, and uncomfortable after you've spent five minutes sitting on it.
Obviously, a few well-worn holes are present in the pattern as well.

On the non-minus side, it's so insubstantial that it weighs about three pounds. Additionally, it converts to a flipped out bed: small, poorly engineered, and ill-cushioned enough to turn the most innocent of houseguests into an insomnia-addled tart in a mere 8 hours.

I'm engaged now (the couch had nothing to do with it) and, in service to the rest of the world, prefer to pass on this couch to another who has a greater need.
Full disclosure: I have never had a one night stand on this one night stand seat, but (what's left of) the fabric looks pretty easy to clean if you don't believe me.

Do with it what you will:
Would look splendid on the front porch of your new shit-ass rental; impress the upstairs neighbors - the floral pattern overwinters nicely.
Could really spice up that corner of the living room with the faux-elephant tusk table, Scrabble game missing the X, and Panasonic tape deck you found last moving day.
No need to cover with plastic during your next party, and when everything is winding down for the evening, just 'flip-n-roll' as we say in New London.
Might get you a solid B on your next performance art project, might get you an A if you 'use' it creatively (wink, wink).

I couldn't dream of charging you for this couch, but if you want to give me five bucks or a box of P. Vella's finest, I can't stop you. You pick it up.

Free Peanuts

Lots of peanuts. It's all I'm able to do any more is just suck the chocolate off of them.

Better than fake potato chips and they don't cause butt ooze.

I can't donate them to a food bank, as you can unopened fake potato chips.

The lady at the food bank said they didn't want used food.

I always thought used food was much darker................

free colon cleanse (real, not scam)

i bought far too much of this colonic cleanser at the beginning of the year and if someone doesn't use it soon, it's going to go bad. It is non-toxic and organic and needs to be used by the end of next month before it expires. if you would like it, please let me know and you can come pick it up. (when you email please tell me what you are emailing about; I have some other ads up in the free section and I'm tired of getting blank emails saying "do you have it". thx.)
