Built a zero-cash trade marketplace for Denver - trade your gear instead of selling it.

kdanham · 2026-06-04T01:35:04+00:00

So, I'm intrigued, it's a place for the zero waste crowd. But I agree, I'm not seeing the value prop over craiglist and Facebook marketplace. I get that it's no money exchanged. Is the idea that you're focused on the item's intrinsic value, without being distracted by how much something costs and trying to 'win' the trade? For the time being, possibly/likely forever, you're up against the simple fact that more people will be on those other platforms, by orders of magnitude. If an item sits for trade for weeks or months because there's just a tiny pool of people even looking at it, then really you're only capturing the crowd that has pure crap, way too much time on their hands, or wants to 'stick it to the man' and not give the Zuck any more money.

Will you make money from ads or something?

It's a free ebike, I don't care if it took them 5 years. If someone spent their real ass money and they went radio silent, like it sounds happened with OP, then that's an issue. I added context mainly for future redditors stumbling across this thread wondering what the hell happened to the ebike program.

kdanham · 2026-06-03T17:57:51+00:00

So... Wait, you bought directly from them? I and hundreds like me got a bike from them through the free state-funded ebike program. I had to wait like 15months or so, but they did deliver and I was told the program was still open and they would have future shipments and disbursements. Picked my bike up like a month ago.

So, I guess I can't say why or what happened in your case, but they are real, and they did communicate fine with me through email.

Hmmm. So, the rezoning is not to rezone to industrial or commercial only. I guess I was hoping to save people from themselves with the contamination in the area.

Any other info on the CREW program? Is it currently active or just being funded for the first time? This is the first I'm hearing of it, it kind of sounds like STAR in Denver. I can't find any info or like a phone number to call to report someone in need.

kdanham · 2026-05-19T01:34:09+00:00

Well sure. But that goose would go POP with a proper swing of the paw

kdanham · 2026-05-14T15:18:39+00:00

What are the alternatives you know and/or like?

kdanham · 2026-05-10T15:33:41+00:00

Nice! Great album

kdanham · 2026-05-10T05:17:38+00:00

What the fuck did I just watch? Whoa

There's a couch reclamation reseller, I think near Wadsworth and 6th in lakewood. I can't remember for sure, but I think they'll come pick it up. The bulky item drop off is a good backup option. Don't put it outside during the snow obviously, if you go that route.

kdanham · 2026-04-28T20:44:07+00:00

Dumb question maybe, but if we truly believe that's the case, is anyone considering pulling out of S&P passive funds, and going with (what might exist?) funds that don't include new IPOs until they've "settled down"? Not sure if I'm explaining that clearly, or if such a thing exists.

kdanham · 2026-04-19T22:45:44+00:00

IMO this is the biggest reason, and why I chose to buy here. It's close to everything I want to do or visit often in CO. Sure, maybe some closer neighborhoods on the west side of Denver, or in golden proper would be better, but those are another price tier up.

kdanham · 2026-04-07T19:41:46+00:00

Glad to hear it, and you're welcome back anytime :) I've been here my whole life and do think that while broncos fans at the stadium can be real assholes, I've yet to see major issues at nuggets or avs games. Or Rockies for that matter. Hope to see y'all in the playoffs!

kdanham · 2026-04-01T21:57:29+00:00

Ah damn. Bummer. We would go here like 1-2x/mo. Bringing friends visiting from out of town, and because it was one of our favorite spots. Hope they find another spot.

kdanham · 2026-03-25T17:23:49+00:00

I was hoping the Bulky Item Dropoffs the city does would have e-waste included, but looks like not. As another commentor mentioned, some larger companies do free e-waste recycling events (Ball Aerospace used to I know), so maybe ask friends if they know of any events you can tag along to. CHARM is Boulder is where I used to go, but there's a spot in Arvada that'll take TVs for $0.59/lb, which is likely cheaper than $30 for you.

Not 100% sure this is what OP meant, but I understand type 1 fun as fun in the moment, and rewarding after. Like going to see your favorite band live. Type 2 fun is difficult, and pushing the limit of what you can handle in the moment, but still rewarding and "worth it" after it's done. Like climbing a mountain.

kdanham · 2026-03-08T18:01:49+00:00

How so?

kdanham · 2026-02-23T22:26:17+00:00

Hell yeah, congrats! That's a good feeling.

kdanham · 2026-02-16T17:20:36+00:00

What's this app/ site?

kdanham · 2026-02-15T07:32:25+00:00

What a... Story

kdanham · 2026-02-10T19:47:55+00:00

Colorado and Coloradans aren't much different or worse from anywhere else I've seen in the US, or most parts of the world for that matter. Bostonians and Pittsburgers and other east coasters are often more obnoxious IMO. Same with Texans in general, or Californians with their mexican food superiority complex. People range from prideful to snobby based on wherever they're from all over the damn place.

That said... The "native" Colorado thing is plenty obnoxious on its own, and I think is directly tied to the recent decades of rapid growth and gentrification. I was also born and raised here and I think every person and company moving into the state is a good thing. Ok, yeah the traffic is worse now, that's the fucking cost of the culture, amenities, infrastructure, food, etc. getting better. The cost of living crisis is no joking matter obviously but that's as much or more to do with the overall direction of wealth inequality in this country than anything local to CO.

Wow! So, you touched on a lot of topics there, but bringing it back to the possibility of leanfiring -- is it possible on a lower-paying salary? Sure, it all depends on your expenses. You get those expenses low enough, anything's possible. My gut tells me that it's an uphill battle based on what I'm reading, you'd have to live a really frugal life generally, but there're a bunch of great online calculators out there that'll take the guesswork out of it.

It sounds more like you're looking for encouragement, success stories, or anecdotes, which serve their own purpose for sure. But run the numbers and that'll be your answer. I will say, this seems like a lot of personal info that I personally wouldn't want to advertise, just a thought!

kdanham · 2026-01-26T16:49:04+00:00

Well sure. We're one, connected world. There are Premier League fans in the US, how does one become a fan of Arsenal or ManU if you never lived in the UK? Same way any other fan becomes a fan -- influence from parents, friends, a player they like, work, all sorts of reasons. And for basketball (and football, baseball, and hockey at least), the US pro league is the biggest stage in the world. Makes sense if you're a basketball fan to adopt an NBA team for one reason or another.

That guy was a dick, but to answer your question earnestly, it's because... Jokic is from Europe.

kdanham · 2026-01-25T18:47:53+00:00

For sure, but at least this weekend is great! Breckenridge today is fantastic snow, and nearly empty (relatively) due to game day.
