Various stuff looking for good homes

I have a truly remarkable amount of Stuff that I have been setting aside to give away for umpteen months, and it is oh-so-very in the way. I'd like to get rid of it, so before I try the Facebook free-stuff groups, let's give the DW community a chance to dig through.

I don't have anything like a full inventory, and there will probably be more rounds of this, but here's a first cut of items looking for a good home:

  • A fairly large Crockpot.
  • A dual drip coffeemaker -- two 8-cup pots, so you can use one or both. Excellent for parties, but I don't do many large parties these days.
  • A large suitcase.
  • A microwave oven.
  • Half a dozen comic-book longboxes.
  • A rather good A/V receiver (but old enough that it doesn't have HDMI).
  • A midsize boombox stereo with CD and cassette player.
  • A set of nice solid dishes (ceramic, not plastic) - 8 plates and bowls, 7 appetizer plates.
  • A stacking set of mid-size (27 qt) plastic drawers.
  • A small TV/VCR unit. (The TV is a plain old cathode ray, but it's fairly small and a way to play old VHS tapes.)
  • An iHome clock-radio. (Designed for older iPods, but a pretty nice clock-radio in its own right.)
  • A fair-sized television. (CRT, so it's big and heavy, and only standard-resolution, but if someone has a use for it, please take it.)

Photos of all of these things, with additional commentary, can be found in this album.

This is all in the "first come, first serve" category, so it's mainly aimed at folks in greater Camberville who would be interested in coming by and picking it up. Give a yell in comments or DM if any of it appeals. I live in the Trum Field area, near the intersection of Broadway and Cedar.

fwiw I have had good luck with the FB 'everything is free somerville' community. I'm afraid I'm also in a downsizing mode so don't need anything you have on offer.

That microwave still available? Tonight ours tripped first the circuit breaker and then the power strip it's plugged into, so... I think maybe this one is at the end of its usable life. :-)

Hmm... there are actually a couple of diagnostic things I want to try first. (Different circuit, for one, and seeing if it still trips with a larger load.) I'll DM you if those look bad.

If they're still available, I have a friend that would take the dishes and drawers!

Awesome! I forwarded them your email, they should get in touch with you soon! (And if not I can always give them a nudge :-) )
