The things I’ve given away

Note: this page is now obsolete. Back in the day, I found less stuff and so was able to devote more time to these giveaways. I now give things away by leaving it on the curb where other people can find it, which is easier and much less time consuming. I leave this page up as a testament to the kind of stuff you can find a taker for if you put it on the Craigslist free section (and other similar websites). These are still valuable tools if you’re looking to declutter or minimize your possessions.

Here’s a (partial) list of the trash that I’ve given away. It doesn’t include things I’ve put into the “Give Boxes” found around Montreal.

Captions in quotations are the titles of posts on the Craigslist “free” section.

Here goes, starting with the most recent: (Last updated: March 17 2013).

“Free PC: 1.8ghz, 160 gb, 875 RAM – Ubuntu installed”

“Jack Purcell Converse shoes – Men’s 10 Women’s 11.5 – Barely used “

“Commodore VIC 20 setup – needs power cable – unknown condition!”

Bike frame – brought to bike coop for parts

“Used Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars, 2 pair size 9 men 11 women”

“Broken / for parts or repair -18″ LCD-TV, Lloyds”

“Bunch of DVDs, Chinese knockoffs (with Chinese/Mandarin subtitles)”

“Couple of old books about French linguistics (in French)”

“Couple of pots and a metal kettle” – I added the pan to the giveaway and kept the kettle to give away later

Film of May 1 1831 “L’ami du peuple — du l’ordre et des lois”

6 Encyclopedias from 1931 – Not full set

Computer speakers with sub, apparently need wiring work

Old wooden cigar humidor (marked 1888) – needs a bit of TLC

Graphic Equalizer (Unknown condition, other than that it turns on) – Sold for 40$ on Ebay

Accessories for old Singer sewing machine

Bunch of old newpapers from the 60s “Le Monde”

Cool knife block (circus knife throwing theme)

I’ve never subscribed to any blogs, ever… until now. This is so rad, it’s inspiring.

Glad you dig it!

[…] The things I’ve given away […]

I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!! I am a shameless trash picker in New Jersey, and my picking buddy is my 90 year old uncle. We find so many incredible things (most of which we give away) but more than anything it’s just so darned much fun! and some of the people throwing their stuff out are SO NICE, and delighted that someone is taking their stuff. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and love the pictures, too. Best wishes to you in your future ventures. Happy Hunting!
