Buy it for Life

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

I wear clothes that are more than a decade old (aside from newer clothing that was a gift), I don't even buy clothes anymore. If something is torn or doesn't fit right, I sew it myself (although I'm not good at it), in fact sewing the waistband on underwear seems to be what I've had most luck with.

Then again I also almost never go out and have nothing resembling a social life so it doesn't really matter for me anyway, so I get most people probably would not want to do anything like this.
