2. Moving out and have stuff you need to sell?  Want to get it sold 
quickly & easily?
--> Use the "Buy, Sell or Give Away" Forum on http://eastgate.mit.edu/ !

Moving in and need to buy a lot of stuff for your room/apartment?  Want 
to get bargain prices without having to drive halfway across the state?
--> Use the "Buy, Sell or Give Away" Forum on http://eastgate.mit.edu/ !

Have stuff that's just taking up space and you'd like to give it away to 
someone who can use it?
--> Yes, that's right!  Use the "Buy, Sell or Give Away" Forum on 
http://eastgate.mit.edu/ !

It's quicker and more enviro-friendly than postering your entire 
building; and this "Internet" thing is all the rage these days.  Check 
it out today!
