Wow, Slow... are they really that desperate, or just a neighborhood of gimme gimmes?Even plastic lawn chairs covered in the green fungus that covers the area only lasted a couple hours.
I'm not sure fuzzy. All of Hampton Roads is like this. We have put out a lot of true crap and people take it. When we took down our rottin wooden fence anna listed it on craigslist and we had so many texts and calls it was crazy. Some of it was so rotted it was crumbling. What people didn't take we put out and it was gone in hours. I had given some to my neighbors and a few months later he decided to throw it away. I convinced him to put it on craigslist and actually sell it and people actually paid for it. Trash removal is free and so is the dump. On our trips to the dump we always see much nicer stuff then we put beside the road. I've actually argued with piggy on a few occasions that stuff was too bad to put out only to be proven wrong in a matter of hours.3/5 #1

I have done a lot of selling on feebay and for the most part it's well worth it for those kind of things.....I have made enough selling my treasures to get the things I wanted (like a new PC) at the time.....but it is a lot of work....I would hate to think that the hot wheels you collected would go to someone who wouldn't treasure them as you did....3/5 4
Yeah that's why I'm getting rid of as much as I can now. I visited my mom a few times before she passed and brought home the sub filled with stuff(memories) that I don't really need. Being a second generation pack rat it's hard to get rid of stuff. Example,,, I used to collect hot wheels cars. I have eight boxes filled still in packages. That is after giving hundreds, maybe thousands away to neighbor kids over the past few years. I just hate to part with them. Most of them are worth what I paid, but I do have quite a few that are now in the $50-150 range. Once we get to the new house and settled in, I'm going to be spending a lot of time selling on eBay. I also have nitro rc cars and parts probably 10 grand worth-selling on eBay I'll probably get 3-5, but last time I ran one for a couple hours I was aching bad for a week. Too much bending over now. Wish my son would start speaking to me again so I could give them all to him but I doubt he ever will. We used to race them every week so I know he'd like them. Something about seeing a 20 inch car zipping 60-70 mph up the street is so much fun lol.
Yeah it's like that here too Slow...no matter what you put out at the street, there is always someone who comes by and takes it before the trash men come...we put out some old carpet last year that was so stained and even had holes in places and someone took that.I'm not sure fuzzy.

I live in what most people in this country would call "a depressed area" (financially). Ranchers and farmers are not rich and most of them are scrounging just to stay one step ahead of the bankers. Yet, if I were to put everything I own in the ditch in front of my property, it would still be there next month. If, however, I put up a big sign that said "FREE," most of it would go away with each passing truck. No one here assumes that just because it is "on the curb" that it is theirs to take. And if I tried that same trick back in Orygun, I would have received a citation for littering, and they charged huge fees for garbage pickup and even if you took it to the landfill/dump yourself you had to pay per car/trailer/pickup load. But... hey, I have never lived in Virginia, so what do I know?All of Hampton Roads is like this. We have put out a lot of true crap and people take it.
I remember way back in time when I went in the military after high school. I had a lifetime collection of model cars (about 200 of them) that would have been worth a lot of money. My mom moved while I was in tech school and she just gave them all away. If ebay had even existed back then, I would have made enough to buy a new car. Sigh...I have made enough selling my treasures to get the things I wanted
That's the feeling I hate.......if only......I also have a thing about getting my once treasured item to someone who will also treasure it the way I did....or to the right person(on another level without financial gain).....it makes me extremely happy when that happens.....I remember way back in time when I went in the military after high school.
