Expired

4x7 inch plastic bags (Davis/Teele Square area)
Gifted
180d
- About 650 bags, open on one end, 4x7 inches x 4 mil thick so they're not flimsy. I cut some card stock to a little under 4" wide and put 24 pieces in one of the bags, and it would take more. Let me know when you'd like to pick up and I'll leave them on our front porch and email my address (between Davis & Teele).

call blockers for landline phone (Davis/Teele Square area)
Expired
181d
- Both display number called and have blocking features. They do *not* display the name of the caller if associated with the number, just the number. I wanted these for caller ID as well as blocking, but without the name, only the numbe displayed, they didn't do all I wanted. Presumably they'll work for blocking calls, I didn't try that once I saw caller ID name was missing and just the number displayed. Other than lacking that feature they both work as far as I know. Phone cords included, I forgot to include them in the photos. MCHEETA model CT-CID801 Pyle model PCLBLK52 I have PDF user manuals or you can just google for them as I did. Let me know when you'd like to pick up and I'll leave them on our front porch and email my address (between Davis & Teele).

Microwave oven works BUT (Davis/Teele Square area)
Expired
346d
- You can close the door and all the buttons work as expected, BUT whenever the door is *open* the turntable rotates. I checked that it's not microwaving when the door is open, but you should check yourself -- easy to do by putting a container with water in, opening the door and leaving it alone for a minute or two (do not stay near the microwave). If the water is still cold then it's not microwaving. It passed this test for me. You can also tell by the sound that it's not microwaving when the door is open, since that additional sound it makes when microwaving is not there. So if you don't mind the strange behavior when the door is open it otherwise works fine. This quirk is very likely fixable, but not by me, or just use as is. NB - this is supplied "as is" and you are responsible to check that it is not microwaving when the door is open and hence safe to operate. Let me know when you'd like to pick up and I"ll put it on the porch and confirm with my address (near Teele Sq). If not claimed pretty soon it will be going to Somerville small-appliance recycle.

UNPOWERED computer speakers (Davis/Teele Square area)
Gifted
1y
- These JBL/Compaq computer speakers work perfectly but are un-powered, so if your source is not amplified they'll be on the soft side. If your source is already amplified, or if you don't need them to be very loud then they'll work fine. Please specify a day and approx time (morning, afternoon, or evening) for pickup. I'll respond with the address (between Davis and Teele Squares in Somerville) and put them out for porch pickup.

small bicycle trailer (Davis/Teele Square area)
Gifted
1y
- One-wheeled Bob trailer tracks nicely behind your bike, and fits through relatively narrow spaces. I haven't used it years, it has some rust but is perfectly functional. Capacity is small - I've also strapped larger objects to the flat top successfully. The Rubbermaid box is made to be easily removed without tools, e.g. if you want to replace it with something else. Interior size of the box is about 17" x 25" (22" in the center portion). Outside width is about 18". It has a small wood stand a friend made when he borrowed it, which keeps it level and very steady when stored, also very handy if you want to put something on top of it. Includes hardware for quickly attaching it to or taking it off from your bike: (1) a BOB quick release skewer to replace the one in your back wheel, and (2) BOB nuts to replace the nuts if you have a bike with a nutted axle. I had the skewer on my road bike and the nuts on an old 3-speed so I could quickly attach the trailer to either bike. There's a little rust where the trailer attaches. It's still plenty sound now and you can use it as is with no problem, probably for a long time. If you sand it and apply some rustoleum that will keep it from rusting further. I pumped up the tire in the morning and it was flat when I checked it that afternoon, so you'll need to patch or replace the tire. Easy porch pickup. Let me know what day and morning/afternoon/evening you'd like to pick it up, and I'll email my address (between Davis & Teele Squares) and put it on the porch for you.

2-drawer metal file cabinet (Davis/Teele Square area)
Gifted
1y
- Rusted top and needs some cleaning, but drawers work smoothly even with a lot of weight. Setup for hanging files. If you don't need it to be beautiful this is a good file cabinet. You can simply cover the top, or sand & paint it if you're ambitious. I can probably come up with some hanging files also if you'd like. Easy porch pickup. Let me know what day you'd like to pick up.
