Free TV and Stand. Both are sitting in the front of the house waiting for a new home. TV works, but just upgraded recently. Sorry for bad photo, took quick snapshot from the living room.

“That’s right TV and stand! You keep on walking! Don’t you come back – don’t you even turn around.”

I never knew how lonely a TV could look.

I have a portable dishwasher that just stopped working in mid-cycle.
It’s old.
It looks terrible. A screw broke off and the front panel is all bent up, you can see my gorilla tape job in the photos.
The welding on the bottom left portion of the inside broke.
When I bought it (used) we had an appliance tech come look at it when it did the same thing. He ‘hotwired’ a switch to work. That may be the problem. It may not be the problem.
I don’t know. I took it apart to try and figure it out, and it was so melted and gross, I just threw all the parts into the washing trays and moved the unit to storage and purchased another dishwasher.
I just want this gone.
I’d rather give it to someone that will try to fix it (lot of work!) than throw it out

I applaud the candor. There is nothing right with this diswasher. Every possible thing is wrong. I expected the last sentence to be “if you’re clinically insane, you might want this.” Or maybe: “It is valuable primarily as a door-blocker – you know, to keep out the bad guys, or the cops, when they try to get in. You need something incredibly heavy to keep them out.” Or perhaps: “dropped from even a low height, this would kill your enemies.” You know, we do tend to devalue things here, but there’s always some practical use for a freecycled item. Too bad it often involves human suffering.

This is a really great stereo & record player in a console (hope I stated that right). Everything works great on it. The sound is… WOW!!!  The only “unsightly” area is the speaker covers in the front. Just needs a little TLC!

Wow, indeed. I wonder what kind of music was played on this stereo. It was obviously so horrible that the speakers tried desperately to escape. They almost made it out, too. Poor things.

NO WARRANTY. AS IS. NO DELIVERY.

As is? Do you promise? Because if I show up for this behemoth and find that bottle of white zin and collection of off-brand energy drinks are gone, my afternoon plans will be shot in the ass.

I admire the effort, and I know this may make me a pessimist, but I really don’t think reasoning with it will get you anywhere. You can start with a whisper and end with a shout, but that sink is gonna do whatever the hell it wants.
