I find the "buy nothing" phenom more baffling. I live in upper NW DC, and my wife will post stuff bordering on rubbish into the local "buy nothing" list, and, presto, it just disappears!! I can't figure out if this is essentially a giant trash-laundering ring, or if there really are people out there -- people who, given the neighborhood, an clearly afford to buy whatever they want -- who want a somewhat cracked, very kitschy bagel plate that we received as an unwanted gift ten years ago and has been collecting dust in our attic since.

Union Jack Apron thirst traps, FTW!
