I’m aware that there are people who specialize in salvage, but don’t you think this is a little … ambitious? “Here’s years worth of crap that I’ve left lying around outside my house … come take it away for me and I won’t pay you for doing it.”
The only thing missing in that pile is a vacuum cleaner. It might be fun to go Office Space on the printer though. (Warning: music NSFW.)
Jenny sends this one along, saying: “.. Specimen cups? Like the ones used to keep … specimens? Specimens such as urine? Why use any old 50 cent plastic cup for your kid when you can give him one that may or may not have been used to store urine samples (or worse) of people who may or may not have medical problems? It was listed in free, but I don’t think it’s worth the gamble.”
I’d have to agree. I think giving my children apple juice in something that looks like this:
is only destined to cause them problems later in life.
if you would like to pick them up, call me and ill give you directions.
my phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.
In related news, there was an incident at the Make-Your-Own-Pottery place yesterday, in which twenty second graders on a school field trip had to leave before they had finished making spoon holders for their mothers. Authorities said something about a “creepy old guy” who was scaring the children.
(Is it wrong that the more I look at these, I kind of like them?)
Side by Side, stop working in good shape otherswise
To go along with your non-working cars, why not acquire a non-working fridge? I mean, it’s in good shape otherwise, so it could be used for a bookcase, or a storage area, or you could make a go-cart out of it.
Or is “stop working” an imperative? As in “Stop working! Acquire this fridge!” It’s like Hammer Time but with a fridge. I wonder if it makes vanilla ice?
By the way, I think I’ve identified why the fridge isn’t working — it has a gator in it! (If you parse “refridgator” properly, it could be “refried gator”.)
We are giving away a brand new unopened Kraftmaid celing cabinet for FREE!! It is green and very sturdy. Comes with two shelves and all of the hardware. Unfortunately, we have no room in our kitchen for it…it can be used anywhere (kitchen, bathroom, garage, shed, etc). First come, first served. Please call (xxx) xxx-xxxx to pick up.
Jonathan S. sends this one along, saying, “What aspect of this is unopened, exactly? It’s been taken out of the box, AND the cabinet itself has also been opened.”
Hmmm. Good points. Maybe it’s a closed-minded cabinet, and it needs to have its mind opened to the wonders of the world. For that I would recommend it be placed with the table and the Nirvana cabinet; maybe our unopened cabinet will learn something about itself and about the world. (Like how to spell “ceiling”, perhaps.)
Heather sends this in, saying, “Aaaaaand… That’s all. No pictures. No description. And why is it in the “free” section? Is the title meant to have a question mark at the end? Because I was looking for a mysterious, description-less Craig’s List posting for free! (I usually have to pay for those– but not today!)”
Ah, the zen of Craigslist. Weren’t we all really looking for “this”, today? I know I was.
Maybe we should get this poster in touch with this guy. It sounds like they might be able to work something out.
