“The cushions need to be sewn in a few spots (on the seams) and it isn’t in new or excellent condition (hence it is free) but it sure beats the hard floor!”
Fine, fair enough. Two pieces of furniture not worth the effort of selling, but not ready for the trash. Exactly what the Free Stuff section is good for.
But what is up with that living room? I hope to god that this person is getting some livelier furniture. Because right now all they need is a fishbowl full of free condoms and they’d have the waiting room at Planned Parenthood.

“The rocking chair and settee are very very old.”
Very, very old. Like, Civil War old. In fact, I’m pretty sure this furniture fought in the Civil War. I don’t know where that hole could have come from other than the Battle of Gettysburg.

Look, it’s Christmas Eve, you don’t have any ideas, and the stores are closing early anyway. This is as good as it’s gonna get. Just wrap them up and call them paperweights.

free time machine! may or may not work…
you pick up

It will take you to a grim future, in which you are burdened by rusty, inefficient appliances.
Unless you use it to go back in time, to before your fateful decision (“hey, I could use a beer fridge!”) was made. Good luck, McFly.

“Jesse, you’re finally getting your own bedroom. Not quite watertight, but it don’t rain most days. Don’t forget yer bed, and your stuffed animal. If it gets cold, here’s some matches, just light the south wall. Yeah, the one facing away from the house.”

I have an older Champion Motorhome, I think it’s around a ‘72. It needs some TLC, would make a great storage/camping unit at your river property or favorite hunting spot. You tow it, you can have it!
Hi, I’m your ride to the City of INAD. The seats are all waterlogged, so I think you’ll want to stand; hold on tight. And watch where you put your hands, there seems to be a feral cat problem. Fred got bit and he’s been acting a little strange since El Paso.

It’s a bumper crop of hazardous waste disposal “freebies.” I thought these were bad, but this “tanker trailer” has the added bonus of being completely unwieldy.

old camper whould make a good trailer if some one had the time come with the house i bought don’t wont it tires are flat don’t know the size if you won’t it come get it being a trailer with

Trailer? Trailer?! I just contacted an archaeologist friend of mine, an expert on Pompeii, but also familiar with the pre-colonial history of Maine. I showed him this picture and he informed me it would be professionally negligent to try to identify these ruins. He said they could be the foundation of an ancient shed, or perhaps pieces of a boat left over from when the area was underwater, thousands of years ago.
When I asked if it could be a trailer, he said “I don’t think the Penobscot Indians had trailers.”

You know those Red Bull beverage holders you see at grocery stores and kwiky-marts? Well, now it can be yours! For free!!
There’s been a Red Bull cooler in the backyard of my building, and the owners left it when they moved. It’s been outside for awhile, and has exterior damage in a couple places (the worst is located on the back, pictured below), but I brought it in a few weeks ago and cleaned it up. It definitely still gives that “Oh, cool, you’ve got a Red Bull container” effect. Has a tube, maybe for draining melted ice? (Also pictured below, the tube pushes back in.)
Perfect for patios, dorm rooms, outdoor barbeques, you name it.

Oh dear god – the rats have gotten into the Red Bull again. Let’s stay at your parents until they crash. I can’t take them when they have “wings.”

When standing straight it’s 5 feet tall. Needs some soil & TLC. Pot not included.

For your live recreation of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” But I’m not sure it comes with an inspirational ending.
Or maybe you’d prefer to use these ones:
