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.

Hi everyone, I'm ProdigalFrog, and I'll be your new moderator for c/Buyitforlife!

I was a regular follower of Buyitforlife back when I used reddit, and generally found it a valuable resource for finding high quality stuffs to reduce waste. So hopefully we can inject some new life into this community and keep it rolling.

I don't mind the occasional old item since some items are easy to track down used on like ebay. Maybe one day of the week can be for celebrating stuff thats lived a long life and served its owners well? Regardless, I really look forward to the community focusing on currently available items, that used to be a big frustration with the old subreddit
