			Recommended for communal pieces of furniture and other bulky stuff. An item can be posted in ~stuff with a defined timeframe in which people can voice their resistance. In this process it could be good to also think of how to dispose off an item or how to repurpose (parts of) it.[[File:PrivateShoeSale.png\|alt=Screenshot of a message\|thumb\|699x699px\|Example of the start of a private shoe sale]]

	There is no perfectly choreographed process for privatization of communal stuff. However, there are best practices, which usually involve the following: - clearly identify the items you’d like to take, possibly with pictures - communicate your request online so that everybody has the chance to see it in time - formulate a deadline until which people are expected to react - be honestly open to other people’s potential claims on items and engage in productive discussion if necessary		There is no perfectly choreographed process for privatization of communal stuff.

 To make it possible for Kanthausians who are not currently in the space to also voice an opinion on the stuff in the vortex, it’s required to document vortex shifts on [[Slack]].
-Experience leads to the following best-practice of vortex shifting: - Start on the back and empty phase 3. - Make (a) box(es) with things for the Free Shop - Don’t be shy to use the trash bins! - Move phase 2 into phase 3. - Take pictures and make sure that the things are identifiable. - Feel free to also use the space below the table. - If more space is needed than before, you can move the tape that marks the border between phase 2 and phase 3. - Move phase 1 into phase 2. - Take pictures if you’re motivated, but the ‘phase 2 to phase 3’ pics are more important. - Add stuff that came in during Power Hour to phase 1. - Upload the pictures to #kanthaus-stuff on Slack and add some descriptive words.
