Free Stuff

In my quest to clean this house, many things need to be removed from the house. Much of that is paper waste that can be recycled, much of that is garbage that need to head to the dump, but there are lots of things here that are perfectly usable but unwanted. Most of that I’ve been shuttling over to the Goodwill donation site near here, but there are things that they categorically won’t accept, or won’t accept because of condition. I tossed a lot of that on Craigslist’s free section today, and I was amazed by the amount of response. I honestly didn’t know that many people watched the free sections. I’ve gotten many cool things from there before without much competition. I was also amazed at who was getting stuff. The first people to come seemed like they were ready to take anything. This left me feeling kind of off, since I knew they wouldn’t be using everything themselves, but scrapping or reselling some stuff. I guess it’s still helping people out, but not quite in the way I’d intended.

So I posted a thing on Craigslist about free bus seats, to see if I could get rid of them (the fact that they only have legs on one side make them hard to sell). One dude just came by to get a couple for his dorm room, and a couple people are popping by later to grab some more. Now is your chance, if you want one. Tell your friends, or anyone who’ll listen. Once this bus is empty, we can get working again.
