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:

This is one of those free postings that make me appreciate the place of the philosopher in modern society. I’m pretty sure a dissertation – a master’s thesis at the very least – could be written on whether and under what conditions this item can be called a chair.
Maybe something like (with hat tip to Zizek) “this Deleuzian chair is, of course, not simply outside non-chairness; rather, in the ’stratigraphic’ superimposition, in this moment of chairfulness, it is CHAIR ITSELF which we experience, but in contrast, chair as opposed to the evolutionary flow of things WITHIN the chair domain.”
I’m not sure what that means, but I think it’s something like “there’s no effing way this counts as a chair.”

Free grill. This does not include the propane tank. You must come and pick it up. Besides the rust and the blemishes the grill works fine.
Before trying to unload something, people really need to address their reasons for wanting to rid themselves of it. If the reason is: “I am a human being. I have some shred of self-respect. I can no longer accept having this item within one-hundred yards of me,” they should not try to give it away. Why? Because it would be unseemly and depressing to presume there are people out there without that same self-respect. Giving away this grill is like giving away a 55-gallon-drum with an inch of diesel covering the bottom. Sure, it could keep some homeless folks warm for a bit, but do you really want to be a part of that?

FREE..THIS WAS A VO-TECH SCHOOL PROJECT……I LISTED IT THE OTHER DAY BUT NOW I HAVE PICTURE.
The “vocation” they teach at this Vo-Tech school is apparently animal abuse. But come on, you know it’s almost impossible to make a living out of dog torture. It’s just gonna have to stay a hobby – a Saturday distraction after a week spent repairing HVAC units. At least the “tech” classes came in handy . . .

Two beds and a half room with a skylight but no door. One bath
You know, “The Wire” made Baltimore look pretty depressing.
But this sort of squeezes all five seasons into one picture.

I have an engagement ring for sale, it is absolutely beautiful. My ex and I broke up and I’m getting married next year, and that is why I am selling it. It’s a size 7 ½ or 8 and 14K white gold. It has 29 diamonds of all sizes in a large 3 square stone setting. Each setting has 9 diamonds with the middle having the biggest diamonds and an equal 9 on each side. Then, looking from the side of the ring, there is beautiful design with 1 diamond on each side. It is very sparkly and wooing. It was $2000 new from Harry Ritchie’s Jewelers, and was only worn for 8 months. Very good deal, I just want it sold fast. My 12 year old is the model, so that gives you an idea of how big it is.
I don’t know what’s more poignant, the Appalachian feel of the skinny kid reluctantly wearing momma’s ring, or the fact that the ring is all but illegible through all that blur. Or is it that it was worn for only 8 months? No, I think the heartbreaking part of the post is the description of the ring as “sparkly and wooing.” I’m starting to see things a little blurry myself. I just need a minute . . .

Free Hard Pond Liner Please email
I have no idea what happened to this pond liner to turn it into the monstrosity it has become, but past is prologue; I only know its future.
Instead of koi, these will swim its waters:
Instead of lily pads, you get an algae bloom:
And instead of turtles like this little friend lolling about:
you get:
Enjoy!

KINDA ROUGH BUT HATE TO JUST THROW IT AWAY, NO BATTERY OR CHARGER AND HAS A STEERING ISSUE(SOMETHING BROKE). BOTH DOORS OPEN. IF YOU WANT IT YOU CAN HAVE IT………..
This looks capable of providing approximately 8% of the delight it did when it was in working condition, but hey, not every nephew can be your favorite nephew, right?
“Here you go, Timmy. Yes, it’s pink. Yes, you look like a sissy. Yes, it’s broken. And?”
When you give it to him, maybe you should just say “Here, Christmas.”
“Merry” would be a little disingenuous.
