Any interest in a FB workout clothing exchange group?

My recent Lululemon obsession led me to a FB exchange/sale group for Lulu items, and that got me thinking, it could be useful for us VFers to have a group devoted to workout clothing -- trading or selling. Like yayas, but without the yaya hassles.

As I see it, it could be a private group, like Beautiful Losers, so posts can't be seen by the public. To join, you'd have to send your VF i.d., and I could confirm that with a VF PM. When we post, we can state our VF i.d., so people can know something about the person they're considering swapping with/buying from.

I know people occasionally include clothing in VF swap lists. But it's infrequent & with FB we could have photo albums devoted to size and/or brand.

Any interest? I know I've got a whole bunch of workout stuff that I'm no longer using. I've given some to thrift already, but there's still a bunch left that I've debated putting on eBay.

Any interest? I hope this is OK to post in VF. Apologies if it's not.

<sigh> My stuff is so ugly that nobody would want them. I wear the ugliest things to exercise at home because nobody sees me. I think this is a great idea, however.

I don't have a ton of stuff, but am a "maybe". I'm going to watch this thread with interest. I love everything Lucy and have a pair of core pants that fit but the fit is just tighter than I like.

Orlita, do you mind sharing the name of the FB group for Lulu swaps? It's an expensive addiction!

Hi Hazel,
The Lululemon group is Lululemon Exchange. I think they've had some scammers in the group, so they've been slow to add new members. But they added a few the other day, so give it a shot. I was told to be wary and always pay with the "goods" (not "gift") box in Paypal, for your protection. I noticed that several sellers insisted on "gift," so that can be a red flag (though it could just be a fee-avoidance measure).

I started the VF group. It's VF clothing exchange. Only 2 of us so far, but come on in!

I've been a member of the Lululemon Exchange for a long time. Haven't bought or sold anything in awhile though. I love my lulu

I would love a DVD exchange on FB where we could sell...not trade out dvd's. I don't go to YaYa's anymore.

I'm surprised this idea (FB group where we could sell dvds) didn't get a response. I would be interested, too, and in fact, may join the clothing one to see if it morphs into that! Is that wrong of me?

be careful with this site, especially with dealing with trades from/to Canada, I got scammed out of $300 worth of merchandise

I'd join a DVD exchange group like that. I'd rather do that than post on FYY.
