Ran an ad on Craigslist today

Had a lot of cut offs, kindling and wood for your fire ring or pit here. About 4 wheelbarrows full. Put it the free section and said they could also have the blue tarp to protect their trunk or keep the wood dry when they got it home. Wood Is right by the tractor. Back up and load.
Couple hours later a guy calls for the address and says he can be there in about 45 minutes. You can hear the baby in the background.
Meanwhile another person texts and ask for the kindling.
I tell them a pickup is pending.
The first fellow came and was backed up and had a few pieces already in his suv before I even noticed he was here. So I helped him throw it in. Had to be careful of the baby in the child seat in the back though.
We mostly boxed the kid in with the wood.
Meanwhile he gets ahold of a really splintered piece of osb plywood and figures he'll eat that. But I didn't want him with splinters or eating the glue so I traded it for a clean piece of pine and he started eating that instead.
Dad was happy to get the wood and we chatted for a bit.
They were on their way.
I had offered it to a couple friends of mine but they burn real wood and don't have time for no kindling.
So I was happy to get rid of it with so little effort and glad to get a young fellow started on real wood and not that splintery, glued up osb stuff.
So it was a successful ad.
And that's the long and short of it.

Good story! We burn wood, so I save mine, but I have too much, built a bird feeder today out of cedar, that smells good!

I'm glad to hear it worked out well for all involved.
I use CL a lot both buying and selling.
Every time I put something in the Free section it seems
to bring out the people I would rather not deal with though.
I still use it but I load the stuff on the back of my flatbed
truck and park it out by the road so they can't see the rest
of the property from where they are picking up the free stuff.
I know, sad, but at least they don't get to canvas much.

That's great stuff to get the fire going quickly in a wood stove,my wife,our Rat Terriers and me enjoy sitting in the basement drinking coffee before daylight on cold mornings while we watch the news/weather and the wood stove is getting fired up.

Sounds good!Hows it going? Are you getting healed up now,no more crutches?

I use CL all the time, buy, sell and give things away. All with positive results.

Instead of paying a carpet place to remove old carpet in rentals before they install new, I put a pic of carpet on CL. Say first come gets it. I'm amazed how many people say, it's better than what I have. We thank each other and both happy. Saves me hundreds.

I don't wait until my tires are totally bald before buying new ones. Tire store wants me to pay them to get rid of my tires. Free ad on CL and someone is happy to get them. Last time I got $10 for 4 Goodyear's that were 11 years old but still had 20k miles left on them.

I'll always hire someone to cut a dying trees down in the winter. Then CL to the rescue. Post a pic of tree on the ground. First come first gets it. Last tree was a huge hard maple. It took about 3 different people cutting on it before all the good firewood was gone. I even helped the last guy load the logs on his trailer with my terramite. CL saves me a lot of money and work. Easy job using landscape rake on terramite to push brush in a pile them load it on dump trailer to haul to burn pile.

I LOVE CL. NOT TO MENITON IT'S FREE.

Always like Craigslist . But that free stuff can get you in trouble neighbors wife wanted a goat told him about a free one on Craigslist apparently only one member of the family wanted one the rest didn't.
