Free Stuff


Andy and I learned something today. People in Seattle love bookshelves! We posted a book shelf and a desk on the free stuff page on Craig's List. We received more than a dozen calls/emails about the book shelf. People in Seattle apparently like bookshelves like Ramona likes tennis balls.

Through this process, I found myself fascinated by the free stuff available in Seattle. You can get a lot of cool stuff free, at least in Seattle. There were well over 200 items posted today! Items to be given away included everything from firewood to bikes to an organ. I had to know what other cities were giving away. It turns out Indianapolis is not so into free stuff. There were only 6 posts for today, one of them was about a Chick Fil-A in Nobleville giving away free food. Raleigh had about 30. My favorite item, actually from yesterday, was a collection of pop/hip hop tapes (including 2 Hammer albums!). For reference, Portland had less than 100 posts, while San Fran had about 300.
