Freenapkin.com is a website setup for anyone in the U.S. who want to get merchandise off their hands for whatever reason. A person who is willing to give an item away for free, posts a photo and description of the item under the state he or she lives in. It is completely free for anyone to register, and do this. It's also for people looking to acquire this very same free merchandise. One of the differences between it, and any other site offering a similar service, is that there is a feedback system within freenapkin.com, in order for users to grow a positive reputation as a donator/claimer. This is achieved by following through on giving away items in the same way the item was depicted on the site. The feedback is ultimately based on how responsible both the donator and claimer are, in executing on the action in which they volunteered themselves to do, and doing it in good integrity. The home page is also focused in providing this service alone. For out of state giveaways, the claimer is responsible for shipping, if necessary.

REFRESHING GESTURE ANYONE?
One thing I could say about freenapikin.com is it's a "sea" of high-end thrift; a closet of valuable junk, so-to-speak, with a refreshing twist of appreciation. A destination for low-expectation merchandise, to be showcased among thoughtfully thrifty hunters, and thoughtful donators, in all it's potentially broken, fading, or resurrected glory. Hoarders and non-hoarders alike, can act in this "possession recycling spirit", and giveaway their beloved junk to the right hands with no expectations of payment. In turn, if a item seeker feels an item is too good to not throw down an attempt to reserve it, he or she may seemingly do so, by letting the cordial owner of the junk with an offering in the form of a bid, but apparently, not, because everything's free. Claim quickly, claimer!

DISCIPLINED DESIGN
The template offered at this "cyber-bay of relics" can be quickly received by the eye, and prospected by the desires of the thrifty, or "temporarily desperate." Featured on the left-side column of the home page is a list of all the states for a quick link for treasures in your local. The color scheme here, is easy on the eyes, and simply contrasted in a way that easily attracts your attention to the ornamental, main body of showcased and bejeweled feature-items. The well contrasted photos are clearly dwelling within the equally divided item boxes, giving an variably enticing feel of junk-desire, with just a twist of old school glamor surrounding it. It exemplifies the kind of array of valuable junk you would expect to find from people who instill genuine worth in their "out-dated gems." This showcase is an exemplification of the stock of superb junk available throughout the our country, starting($) at- FREE, and only at Freenapkin.com.
