What is FTGH.com?
Free To Good Home or FTGH.com is a site created to meet the needs of people who generally frequent online auction websites, but got sick of paying outrageous selling fees or having to meet "reserve" amounts. The goal of FTGH.com is to provide a platform where people can get second hand goods for free. The FTGH platform came about when watching the principle behind the movie Pay it Forward. Wikipedia states the historical idea of Pay it Forward goes back to The Great American Patriot, Benjamin Franklin. We truly believe that we can reduce land fill space, improve lifestyle, and encourage recycling through our website. We want to take the "Go Green" mantra and take it one step further by encouraging people to not just to seek renewable energy, but renewable goods as well. To some people, last years cell phone model doesn't matter they just need a cell phone to keep in touch. The whole model behind our website is the old saying, "One man's junk is another man's treasure".
FTGH.com has also integrated an entertaining way to get these items to people. We would be going back on our word, if we say we wanted to instill a "Go Green" mentality and then encouraged users of this site to pay for shipping. Postal companies use countless gallons of gas and create huge amounts of C02 emissions. We have implemented Geocaching as one of the options to obtain the item you are trying to receive second hand. The other option users of this site can pick up their second hand item is via contacting the person giving the item away and meeting them at a predetermined location. We would prefer users employ the geocaching option as it is safer for both parties involved, it makes picking up the item fun, and it can help reduce car emissions. Our primary concern for the users of this site is to keep everyone safe and easy pick-up and drop-off of the second hand goods.
