I want to introduce you to ATG's newest Featured Sponsor: Krrb
About Krrb: Krrb is a safe place to buy, sell, trade and give to your neighbors — locally and in-person.
"Think of Krrb as an online garage sale, block sale, flea market and local classifieds where second-handers, crafters, collectors, designers, artisanal food-makers and common folks can easily connect — taking advantage of all that the Internet has to offer — while retaining a personal and face-to-face relationship."
Want to join their 'Garage Sale" Contest? Post five (or more) items during the month of March to Krrb.com and you could win $250 cash + 50 free Krrb credits.
Krrb is run on a system called Krrb Credits. To place an ad you use credits similar to paying a fee for items listed on Etsy. For those of us that are frugal there are plenty of opportunities to earn free credits. My account already has 28 just from signing up and adding details and a photo to my account. Here's more details on how you can get Free Credits.
I'm always in search of new opportunities of where I can ReSell items. When I discovered Krrb a month or so ago I was so excited to see an on-line garage style type venue that is packed with personality.
Searches are really easy by using the Radius Slider under the search bar. You can also create saved Area searches. I have a tab for Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Sacramento and Paris. Paris is just for fun because I love seeing what 2nd hand offers are on show across in Europe.
It's also incredibly easy to see all the items someone is selling if you take a peek at their Corner. Here's a corner for a member in Paris. How fun is that?
Don't forget to check out the Krrb blog, their facebook page and Twitter page.
I'd love to encourage all of you, especially those in Sonoma County, to join Krrb. I personally love having another option to trade, giveaway, buy and sell in our area. Let's see how many new Sonoma County members we can get on Krrb this month. Consider yourself challenged my thrifty, local friends.
I'm in. Thanks for bringing this venue to our attention. A

I will definitely check this out Selena. I'm doing a real garage sale this weekend and if I have stuff left over Krrb could be a good backup.
