What is NY Flea Mart?
Think of it as a virtual yard sale for New Yorkers who don’t have time for Craigslist. Designed for anyone who can appreciate a good deal on a used item and who would be open to buying goods by cash or barter. Sign up and you'll be able to post your items to this site or send and receive emails to other members in the group.

What kinds of things can I sell/trade?
That TV you never use. Your stereo for an iPod. A lamp for an old set of wine glasses. The ticket to the game/concert/play you can’t attend. Anything and everything in good taste.

Why do I feel like I don't want to join this?
Because you're wary of joining email groups and/or Yahoo! and/or something else you can't quite name. Laziness? Cynicism? Get over it.

What will happen if I do join?
Your apartment will become magically uncluttered. You'll stretch your dollar. You'll start to believe that anything is possible in New York—and not in a cheesy way.
