Another PIP Poll: The best **free** thing on CL

[mrs.jacinthe]

What's the best thing that's available for free on your local CL today (or that's been listed in the last week or so)?

PIP it if there are pictures.

Mine:



Vintage 1920's cast iron pedestal sink

[Susie]

The free furniture sucks, so even though I don't adore arborvitaes, I'm going with...

3 Arborvitae trees, you dig them up. between 7 and 8 foot Email if interested

[thewop]

This awesome mini fridge. It works!

[thewop]

Ooo. Here's a free upright piano!

[wawa]

oh the piano would really tempt me. I love having a piano in the house even though I suck at playing it.

And...great...now I know that there is one on my local CL too. No picture though.

Am i on crack that I think this would be cute painted?

Not on crack. I think that would look great painted.

"I have an excellent 14x19.5 pressure treated deck wood free to anyone that can haul away today. It's already disassemble and left to the side of the house for you to take. The longest board is about 20ft so you'll need a big truck to haul away. "

I'm actually tempted on this.

[mrsemilys]

Free concrete garden edging and concrete pedestal!!!!

Not too bad!

[emoflamingo]

I hate where I live:

"Free Puppy" (because they didn't have time to train and love it like they thought -- I want to save him, he is adorable), "Free Kittens" (because they didn't get their cat fixed), "Free 13 week old cat" (not sure why they're ditching it). Oh, and ONE ad for free firewood.

Yup I hate where you live too, that pup is adorable.

[thewop]

Emo- I would totally save that puppy, even it if was only long enough to find him a permenant home.

They said he's supposed to be a Mastiff-Pitbull mix but he is smaller, which means he has to be registered with the county. I would save him and keep him, but I have a cat and refuse to have an outside dog. And I would send him to my brother, but they're illegal in his county.

REALLY hate breed-specific laws. That pup looks like a sweetie. I'm going to have to message a friend of mine about this one because she works to save dogs in shelters.

[thewop]

Poor pup.

[ssmjlm]

Free sofabed

Throw a slipcover on it and it could be decent.

My free section is lacking.

Freeeeee fish tanks!!! We have approximately 150 used fish tanks of various sizes that need to go.


How in the world does someone acquire that many fish tanks?

My mom does the fish program for her school (and any other school that wants fish) and has no fewer than 25 fish tanks right now and they are all huge.

"matching purple sink, toilet, and bathtub"

i am so sad there is no picture with the add. i want to see these beauties.

[housegeek]

Where I'm moving is mostly free animals sad

[minniebee]

This piano looks pretty, but given that it's obviously stored in a garage, it has to have issues.



This dresser could probably be something cool with a little TLC.

Aw, that guy is adorable! So sad that he's being given away for free, especially if people find out he's a pit mix. Some evil person will want him as a bait dog for fighting.

The first free listing in my area was a German Shepherd, but when I clicked on the ad, it had been flagged for removal. I hate people who give away pets for free, do they realize the danger they're putting the animals in?

[natablue]

Free love seat... gag.



And another one...



And sadly, a lot of dogs and kittens.

[bethaboo]

No pictures but, honestly, the best thing on my local free Craigslist is 100 rolls of Duct Tape.

[vanillahip]
