What You Can't List

Most things around the house are welcome on For Sale by Neighbors and Free Stuff. This page covers the exceptions.

These rules apply whether you are selling, giving away, trading or posting a wanted request. If it is on this page, it can't be listed here in any form.

Weapons and ammunition

No weapons of any kind. That goes for wanted posts too, so please don't ask for one here.

  • Firearms
  • Ammunition
  • BB, airsoft and paintball guns
  • Bows and crossbows
  • Spearguns
  • Knives sold as weapons
  • Fireworks and explosives

Animals

No live animals of any kind. Not for sale, not for a rehoming fee, and not free to a good home.

  • Dogs and cats, puppies and kittens
  • Birds, fish and reptiles
  • Chickens, goats, horses and other livestock

Need to rehome a pet? Contact Flagler Humane Society. Pet supplies such as crates, tanks, leashes and beds are fine to list.

Alcohol, tobacco, vapes, cannabis and kratom

None of these can be listed, sealed or not.

  • Beer, wine and liquor
  • Cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco
  • Nicotine products, vapes and e-cigarettes
  • Cannabis, CBD and hemp products
  • Kratom

Prescription drugs and medical devices

No prescription medicine and no prescription medical devices. Used cosmetics and opened supplements are not allowed either.

  • Prescription medicine of any kind
  • CPAP and BiPAP machines
  • Oxygen equipment
  • Hearing aids
  • Insulin and test strips
  • Used makeup and skin care
  • Opened vitamins and supplements

Recalled and unsafe children's products

Never list a recalled item. Take extra care with anything made for a baby or a young child.

  • Cribs
  • Car seats
  • Infant sleepers
  • Strollers

Look it up at cpsc.gov/recalls (opens in a new tab) before you post.

Hazardous materials

Nothing flammable, poisonous or under pressure, even if it is free and half full.

  • Paint and solvents
  • Pesticides
  • Pool chemicals
  • Fuel and loose propane
  • Asbestos-containing materials

Dispose, don't list: check with Flagler County for household hazardous waste options.

Housing and rentals

Housing and rentals of any kind are not accepted here.

  • Rooms for rent
  • Apartments and houses
  • Vacation rentals
  • Storage or parking spaces

Jobs and paid gigs

Job openings, paid gigs and work-wanted posts are not allowed here.

  • Help-wanted posts
  • Paid gigs and side work
  • Work-wanted posts

Post those on the jobs board instead.

Trade and professional services

Paid trade and professional work is not listed here. Casual neighbor-to-neighbor help, like yard help or a hand moving a couch, is fine under Help & Barter.

  • Contracting and repairs for hire
  • Moving companies
  • Child care and elder care
  • Massage
  • Rides for hire

A business belongs in the business directory instead.

Event tickets

No tickets of any kind.

  • Sporting events
  • Theme parks and attractions

Gift cards, prepaid cards and cryptocurrency

Nothing that works like money.

  • Gift cards and store credit
  • Prepaid cards
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Other financial instruments, such as money orders or investments

If anyone asks you to pay, or to be paid, in gift cards, stop. That is a common scam.

Counterfeit or stolen goods, and vehicles or boats without a title

Only list things that are genuine and yours to sell.

  • Counterfeit or replica goods
  • Stolen goods
  • Items with a removed serial number
  • Detached catalytic converters and airbags

Digital accounts and loaded streaming devices

No accounts or logins of any kind, and no streaming devices that have been modified.

Products made from protected wildlife

Nothing made from protected wildlife, including antiques and inherited pieces.

  • Ivory

  • Coral
  • Feathers or mounts of protected birds

Home-made or perishable food

No home-made food and nothing that can spoil.

  • Baked goods and other home-made food
  • Meat, seafood and dairy
  • Anything that needs to stay cold

A local food business can offer it through Business Deals, our board for local businesses.

Adult content or services

No adult content and no adult services of any kind.

What happens if a listing breaks these rules

We remove listings that break these rules, and we may block people who keep posting them. See something that doesn't belong? Every listing has a Report button. Use it and we'll take a look.

Some listings are held for a person to look at before they go live. A hold is a pause, not a rejection — if the listing is fine we put it up and email you when it's live.

Not sure whether something is allowed? Ask us before you post.
