Swap Meets

Next Swap Meet Sunday, October 18th from noon-2pm at the Amphitheatre on the Ithaca Commons as part of the Finger Lakes Bioneers Conference

Share your goods, services and labor at our community swap meets. Wondering what they’re like? Check out this video:

Join us! Bring goods and services you’d like to share, and you’ll be able to barter, give away or sell your offerings to other community members. The more we can provide for one another locally, the closer we are to sustainability!

What to bring:

• Food and Produce: veggies, teas, baked goods, jams, tofu, etc.
• Body Care: tinctures, soaps, creams, etc.
• Handmade Crafts: ceramics, candles, art, etc.
• Stuff: electronics, housewares, tools, books, etc.
• Services: massage, bike repair, web design, accounting, shoveling, moving, etc.
• Space: living, working, gardening, etc.
• Bags, boxes and carts to take stuff home in

Guidelines:

• Our goal is sustainability – please bring stuff that is locally-grown or made from local materials if possible, but anything is welcome!
• Please limit what you bring to what you can fit in a lap-sized box – you can always arrange for pick-up after the meeting.
• Be prepared to take back home with you whatever you don’t end up bartering or giving away.
• Please bring stuff that is in good condition or can be easily-repaired – no junk!
