free stuff

Postby Full Quiver » September 13th, 2008, 10:07 am

Okay, I daily check the free stuff listings on Craig's List. We have given stuff away using this medium but never got anything. I have been interested in some things but they always seem to be gone before I can get them.
We have sold cars on CL and bought a mini-fridge.

There always seems to be folks listing absolute junk and trash on the free stuff listings. Let's see what city/area can come up with the worst listing. Wen actually saw a toilet seat one day.

What kinda trash is available on your CL today.

I never check Craigs List but did just to humor you.

I now know that I can get FREE Stumps here in Kentucky.

Where SHALL I put them????

I LOVE CL!
I like it because when my yard sale is over I can post a listing and the stuff will be gone within the hour and I don't have to pack anything away! It is the easiest way to haul off junk without going to the dump. Just leave it at the street and post. haha.

And one time, at band camp.... :lol:

Seriously.. one time... a friend of ours house burned down. We replaced everything WITH a rental house for FREE for 6 months to help them get back on their feet, just from Craigslist.

How did you do that??!

I like the yard sale idea. I am thinking of having one soon, but I hate all the work that it is to drag everything out.

My dad is funny with Craigslist. He has a trap and sometimes catches small animals in his yard...well, he caught a rat and actually put it up on craigslist just to see what would happen...he got all kinds of responses including an animal lover who wanted to bring as many as she could to her home! :)

How did you do that??!


We posted a link for people that were putting free furniture to contact us for a family who has lost everything. We got SO MUCH stuff we ended up having a HUGE yard sale at the church and raised $600 with the leftovers.

Some man called the house one day and said he had a rental house that he would donate for 6 month and then they would have to start paying rent if their house wasn't ready. They stayed the whole time. It was SUPER awesome. Not many people do things like that even though they could. We gave everyone a tax receipt.

I like the yard sale idea. I am thinking of having one soon, but I hate all the work that it is to drag everything out.


Every Saturday you can look at Craigslist and see where everyone is done and ready for the junk to be hauled off. LOL!

I wish I'd known you wanted one, I recently saw one at a local thrift store. I'll keep an eye out for another.

Back in Oregon when I was working for Fox12 we did a story on a man in Southern Oregon who found his home completely ransacked after someone posted an ad on craigslist that the house had been vacated and everything there was free for the taking. Still not sure if he got everything back...
