Free: Big Box o' Light Bulbs (Ulster Park) Gifted 31d - This is a big box o' light bulbs. Some incandescent, some CFL, one fluorescent CircleLine tube. Some new in boxes, some used. I had them in a box in the basement, forgot about them, then found them when the hot water heater leaked. They are in a different box now, but some of the cardboard boxes are damp. I have no reason to keep them, but I figured someone else might, maybe for a barn or a cheap rental or a crawlspace you almost never go into, so I'm posting them up. Tell me when you're coming by and I'll leave them by the road.

Free: (Very) Large Dog Bed (Ulster Park) Gifted 42d - We have here one LARGE dog bed, 52 x 43 x 5 inches. My wife has a "troubled" relationship with physical dimensions and ordered it on line a couple of years ago. It went right into an unused room, and hasn't been out since. Never touched a dog. Our dog is 85 pounds, and three of him could sleep on it easily. "Fluffy" synthetic surface, covering removable to wash, weighs very litttle. I had a heck of a time recently getting rid of a couple of very nice items that people said they were dying to have, so this time, I will offer this in order of response, only to people who can tell me a definite time when they will show up, and if they don't show up, I will move on to the next response. I hate to do this, but after all of the trouble I got on the last stuff, I regretted not just taking it to the dump.

Free: "Midcentury" Print of Mexican boy (Ulster Park) Gifted 77d - Looks like a fifties-to-sixties-ish nicely framed print, by an artist whose work can be found on line. Not my style, was in the house when we moved in, don't want to throw it out if someone else might want it. If not, out it goes.

Free: Old Glass Table Lamp (Ulster Park) Gifted 77d - Molded clear glass table lamp with unexciting shade. Lamp is probably from the early fifties, but it's not super distinctive stylistically. Works fine. Hate to throw it out.

Free: Fake Fireplace-Heater (Faux Feu?) (Ulster Park) Gifted 77d - Fake fireplace with 1500W heater and remote control, with wooden surround / mantel assembly. Has a fold-out "leaf" thing, which is interesting. Was in the basement when we bought the place, we're finally dragging it out. Works, in good shape.

Free: Burgundy La-Z-Boy Recliner (Ulster Park) Gifted 77d - Good shape, works, doesn't smell bad, dated 2012, gen-you-ine Plether. Has a few shallow scratches on the cushion, not sure what from. This chair was in the house when we bought it several years ago, we've never used it once, would love to get rid of it without throwing it out.

Free: Stickley Sofa 92", Good Condition (Ulster Park) Gifted 1y - Sickley couch, Down-filled cushions, cool minty green color, 92" x 36" deep x about 32" high. Great condition, owned by old people (my parents), no pets, no smoking, no spills, no "accidents," almost no guests. This couch was about $4,500 new. They wanted a new couch with recliner functions, etc. (they have trouble standing up), so they gave me this one. Only Problem Is: IT DOESN'T FIT THROUGH THE 28-1/2" DOOR TO THE ROOM WHERE I WANT IT. No way, no how. So it's in my van, which isn't a great place for it, so it's got to go, because I need to use my van. Also, it's HEAVY. This is NOT some crappy Ikea couch. First to actually come and get it will get it (no "I'll try to call some friends...").
