Give and Live
If we all give, we all live.
A WhatsApp community for generous neighbors. No money, no ads, just free stuff.
What it is
With Give and Live you give away things you don't need. And you find free giveaways that others have passed on. All without any money involved.
Ready to Live? Ready to Give?
How it works
-
Offer.
Send a photo to your Give and Live WhatsApp channel, when you have something you want to pass on.
-
Bid.
Every week you receive a fresh allowance of gratitude seeds. Place a bid when you see something you like.
-
Joy.
The highest bidder wins. The item is exchanged in person. Spent seeds vanish from your stash.
But why?
- Fair, simple and stress-free. The auction is a "Vickrey" auction. Just bid what it's worth to you. You only pay what someone else would have paid. You cannot game the system and there's no need to be strategic.
- Gratitude seeds are not traded. You earn them. You spend them. They vanish when used. There's a hard limit to how many you can accumulate.
- No data tracking. No ads. All we need is a phone number, so we can send you messages. That's the whole data footprint.
- No attention manipulation. No streaks. No competitions. No gamification. Give and Live, with peace of mind.
