Freecycle
Freecycle one of the largest examples of gift economy on the planet today. Its basic premice is that people, rather than throwing their old good away or even taking them to charity shops, post a message to others in their community announcing that they don't need an item any longer, and people are able to pick that item at their earliest convenience.
Unlike what capitalists would want us to believe, Freecycle has been very successful and now it operates in many different countries, and constantly facilitates reuse of goods by individuals.
Rules
In order to post an item to the Freecycle board it must be accessible to all everybody in your community (which includes accessibility for all ages). Due to that rule some items are not allowed by their very nature (such as pornography, weapons, etc). Also a person cannot be asking any monetary or other compensation for the item, however, can expect the receiver to pick the item up without any help.
