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.

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.

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.
