View Full Version : Computer saved me hauling this stuff home...

Today was one of those days where everywhere I turned was really good stuff left in the alley.

Due to the efficiency of online communication I did not have to haul it all home. I posted "Curb Alert" notices in the Free section of Craigslist.

One thing was a contemporary chest, I suppose it was an "entertainment center" but it was much much sturdier, and more handsome, than the typical particle board stuff that I usually find in the alley. There it was, sitting nicely, where someone had lovingly tied its door shut so that they would not flop around.

The other thing, a leather couch in my alley, is nicer than the usual faux leather furniture that people throw out. Again, someone had carefully removed it's feet but put them in a bag right by the sofa.

These things were in separate neighborhoods. Good finds today.

I get regular reports from friends who have scored big curbside, at neighborhood sales, or in a thrift. It never gets old--congratulations on your new treasures!

You probably made someone very happy Iris lily, both the person trying to get rid of something and the person who saw your post on Craigslist. I think it's nice you took the time to post these "Alerts".
