I wish I could help. I have stuff to get rid of as well.

I've been looking for curriculum on these sites:
http://homeschoolclassifieds.com
http://www.theswap.com

I haven't found what I'm looking for yet but these seem to have a lot of stuff on them. Hope this helps.

I can and have posted there but there is precious little selling done on those sites.

Language learning resource

Consider "adopting" a college student, or couple, from a Muslim nation. Their brief stay here might be their only chance to interact with happy, functioning, Christian families. If you study the language, you will have a superhighway into their hearts. Your kids will also learn valuable lessons about grace and election -- those outside of God's saving grace (at least for now!) can be wonderful, charming, people. It's done our girls, 11 and 13, a lot of good to have surrogate big sisters to pray for.

And yes, they are making slow but steady progress with their Turkish lessons.

This is such sad news. I am praying for the Lord’s strength and peace for his family.

Do you belong to any local homeschool email groups? For my state, there are several where homeschoolers send messages offering to either sell something or swap for something else. I found many of those groups just by searching “Yahoo Groups”.

What about the local homeschool swaps and fairs? Have you tried them yet? We’re overwhelmed with stuff, too, that I don’t want to throw away, but I can’t find anyone to take it. It seems every homeschool family is in the same situation. :-(

Oh, so sorry to hear it. Mr Klicka was a generous and talented man.

He and his family are in our family’s prayers.

I've actually had pretty good success with eBay. It is seasonal, though. May through July seem to be the best time. You might also research local/regional groups that have homeschooling fairs where they sell materials. I haven't participated in any of these, but friends have had good experiences.
