Just about every city and town could use a "free stuff" website. The idea behind a free website is that anyone can go and list an item that they want to give away for free. And, others can come to the website to browse for free stuff that they might be able to use. This is a great idea for someone who is retired and has a little free time to moderate and approve postings. This just means that this person will have to weed out the spammers and try to post something obscene just to make trouble. There are some open source scripts out there that can make a website like this in a very short amount of time. Any skilled webmaster can install a script called Noah's Classified ads and customize it to your satisfaction.

You shouldn't expect to pay a webmaster more that a couple hundred dollars for a website like this. As I browse the web, there doesn't seem to be a lot of competetion for this type of website. Chances are good that yourcitynamefreestuff.org is still available. Go to smallbusiness.yahoo.com and see if the domain is taken. If not, get it registered and make this idea a reality! If you're wondering how you might be able to profit from a website like this, you can probably get local businesses to advertise on your website for a fee. Of course, you'll want to wait untill you have built up a steady amount of traffic before you try to start selling ad space. One way you can get your website off the ground with little to no advertising dollars is by passing out bumper stickers to all your friends. Bumper stickers are a great way to raise awareness for a website that caters to the your own local city.
