[edit] Translations

Hi. I'd like to see some more translations of "give-away shop". Could you please add them to Wiktionary? Thanks. G-u-a-k-@ 16:14, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Buchman quote

Isn't the quote "There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." by Frank Buchman, from Remaking the World? shinyblue 16:27, 5 Nov 2004 (PST)

[edit] Finance

I'm not familiar with the Low Countries variant discussed here. How are these shops financed? If they are run as charities, how do the differ from charity shops? If run as for-profit enterprises, what is their source of profit? The article IMHO needs to explain this. --Tkinias 23:20, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There is no profit! And yes, the article should explain this. The shops are ran by volunteers... G-u-a-k-@ 01:21, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Craigslist ref

Reference to the online website for giving away free stuff (craigs list) might be a good idea.

That could be nice yes. Guaka 13:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Free store, anarchism template

I merged this article with free store. I hope someone else can finish the merging a bit more.

I'm not sure about the {{anarchism}} template though. I feel inclined to remove it, but I first want to know what you think about that. Guaka 13:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the Anarchism part should be removed. People use Freecycle for example, but they are not anarchists. Having an anarchist label would tend to put people off starting or using them. 80.3.40.110 13:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
