What is Uncle Henry's? I have never heard of it. It sounds interesting.

Uncle Henry's is a buy/sell/trade journal that is published weekly in Maine. There are all types of categories in which people list what they wish to sell, some particulars about the item(s) and their name, number, email addy, etc. It is on the net, but can also be purchased in hardcopy (as in, an actual magazine). Uncle Henry's are sold at many convenience stores, grocery stores, and lots of other places in Maine. They come out every Thursday. A free ad form is on the back of the journal so if you have something to sell, you can send in the form and have your sale items listed at no additional cost (other than the price of the journal). You can also have your sales items listed on the internet, but unless you send in an original free ad form or pay a small fee, you can't have your ad listed in the printed journal. Any time I want to buy or sell something, I usually list it there first. Which reminds me, I have a couple bird cages I need to go list...

Uncle Henry's is absolutely fantastic..... It lists everything from ATVs, to livestock, pets, boats, cars, trucks, household, construction. It even has a " free for the taking " section. It's amazing what people give away for free.

You can subscribe for the magazine or get an online subscription. They have a website that's well worth checking out. No one should be without an Uncle Henry. The site is www.unclehenrys.com

P.S. The new issue comes out online today as well as the hard copy version. They will even let you have a thirty day free trial. You can't miss.

For WV/PA and some OH and MD folks, check out www.ybb.com

It is called "Your Bulletin Board" and you buy it at the newstands or on-line subscription. Every ad is free for people, businesses pay. I use it a lot. From Livestock to car parts.
