Free: Catit "flower" fountain. For cats (Magnuson) Expired Please read the entire message. This is what I would call the Toyota Yaris of cat fountains. I just upgraded to the Camry now that I know my cat uses it (tho not the Lexus, LOL). This is kinda cute, reasonably quiet, all plastic, is very clean and works fine. You get everything needed including an unopened filter good for one month. I got the fountain for half price during a Prime sale, so it cost almost nothing. It requires monthly filters but in bigger lots they're quite reasonable at less than $5 each for the Catit brand name. Cleaning it every week is ideal, every two weeks is essential; otherwise the water gets gross even with the filter, and it might reduce the effectiveness of the filter. >>> Fair Offer applies! Easy drive-by pickup at my condo complex. Pickups this week (Feb 10) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Earlier than 9am will be left out overnight. I respond to requests that indicate 1) a clear desire and intent to pick up 2) a first name or nickname for a label, and 3) at least one 2 to 4 hour window of time that is on an indicated day and is not right away, so I can have time to respond.

Free: Old but accurate postal scale (Magnuson) Expired Please Read entire post before requesting. This is a Sunbeam postal scale that I used in my office for over 30 years. Maximum weight is 70 ounces (4-3/8 pounds) or 2000 grams (2 Kg). It uses a 9-volt battery or an AC adapter. Let me know if you want the adapter I've used for the same three decades. It's discolored from years of being constantly on and very slightly warm - I only just unplugged it a few days ago. Please state if you want that, otherwise I'll recycle it with Ridwell. Testing the weight accuracy by lb/oz and by grams, it matches my kitchen scale exactly. However, it was not designed to be exposed to the messiness of cooking and baking so if that's what you want it for, IMO it would need to be operated from the safety of a plastic bag. Just sayin'! >>> Fair Offer applies. I respond to requests that indicate a clear desire and intent to pick up, along with a 2 to 4 hour window of time that is not right away, so I can plan to put the item out on my shared walkway. Easy drive-by at my condo complex.

Free: micro USB 3.0 charge+sync cable (Magnuson) Expired Please read entire post before requesting. This cable came with a Galaxy phone or tablet (probably an S5) some years ago, but I received messages from TN-ers that it also works with more recent external hard drives or HD enclosures (none that I own). For more info, search "micro USB 3.0 charge-and-sync cable". They are cheap online, not worth a long drive, and Ridwell will recycle it if there are no takers. Easy drive-by pickup in my condo complex. Preference given to requests that provide: (1) clear intent to pick up, (2) a 2 to 4 hour window of time that is not "now" and (3) a first name for a label. Early morning pickups need 12 hours notice and will be left out overnight. ~Jan

Free: Dell tower PC w/DVD/CD R/RW (Magnuson) Gifted Please read entire post before requesting! Ready for Windows 11, this is a nice Dell XPS 8930 from November 2018 which I used for business. The original OS is Windows 10 Pro (64bit) which I had upgraded last year to Win 11 - it reverted to 10 when I reset the system, but when I partially ran the setup process to make sure everything was ready for a new user (before resetting again) the upgrade was offered, so it's ready. Processor: 8th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 Processor (6-Core, 12M Cache, up to 4.6 GHz) Primary drive: 256_GB PCIe x4 SSD I kept the secondary SATA drive with my data. It's easily replaced with a convenient bracket that pops out. The Dell XPS 8930 Service Manual is available online and covers this with straightforward instructions and illustrations. Graphics: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1050Ti with 4_GB GDDR5 RAM: 16_GB DDR4 at 2666MHz Dual Channel Networking: 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2, Dual Band 2.4&5 GHz, 1x1 Tray load DVD Drive (Reads and Writes to DVD/CD) >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear desire and intent to pick up, along with a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway.

Free: Floor lamp, needs cement? in base (Magnuson) Expired Please read to the end before requesting! This is a "mother-daughter" style floor lamp which no longer stands up on its own because the weighted material (cement?) completely crumbled under the base. The pole itself also wobbles without that material encasing it from below so I don't know if this lamp can be saved, but perhaps the frosted glass shades or the parts can be of use. The top fixture takes a 3-way bulb. Second photo shows the inside of the base, third shows the lamp disassembled. >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear desire and intent to pick up, along with a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway.

Free: 31" long shipping box (Magnuson) Expired Please read entire post before requesting! This is a nice undamaged and sturdy 31" long x 7" wide x 6" deep (inside dimensions) shipping box that I thought I would offer before recycling. >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear intent to pick up, and a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway.

Free: Non-photo blue pencils (Magnuson) Expired Please read the entire post before requesting! These are 8 unused Col- Erase brand "non-photo blue" pencils, for marking up documents so the notations don't show up on photocopies. FWIW, the marks do seem to show up on scans. >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear intent to pick up, and a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway.

Free: Smead file folder labels - alpha (Magnuson) Gifted Read entire post before requesting! If your office has not gone paperless yet, you might still use these Smead alphabetical file folder labels, for either vertical or horizontal file systems. There are a very decent number of full sheets (ten labels per sheet) of every letter, still fully sticky. If no one requests the whole box, I'll consider splitting up the set but either way it's take it or leave it, I'm not counting how many there are! 😆 >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear intent to pick up, and a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway.

Free: Two ~1/2 gals of Nature's Miracle (Magnuson) Gifted Edit: Multiple Requests received first thing this AM! I have marked as PROMISED even though I haven't had a chance to go through all the requests. These are two partly-full gallon jugs of two different Nature's Miracle cleaners: regular and pee formulas. In the photos the black arrows show how much is left, which is more than a half gallon each. I went through both formulas like crazy for a prior puker and pee-er who died in 2018, kept it around for a series of foster cats "just in case" and realized that with the current perma-cat I might never even use up my quart sprayers. So these are from 2018 but they've been inside my condo in stable temps, and they both smell totally normal and potent. >>> I will respond to requests that indicate a clear intent to pick up in the next few days (8/30 to 9/1) and a 2 to 4 hour window of time during which I can leave the item outside the door of my shared walkway. Easy drive-by pickup at my condo complex, specific directions will be provided to find my unit.

Free: 10mm hex wrench (big!) (Magnuson) Gifted Read entire post before requesting. I think this was to tighten the adjustable plates on free weights at a gym?

Free: Old Dust Buster with short runtime (Magnuson) Gifted Note: I will respond if you provide a 2-4 hr window of time and clear intent to pick up. This is an old Black & Decker Dust Buster with the charging bracket/adaptor, as well as the little brush which is in decent shape (no missing bristles) and the dirt cup and filter are intact and clean. However, the runtime is down to a few minutes at full power. It's just fine for quick pickups. Easy drive-by pickup in my condo complex.

Free: Small white board markers, 5-pack (Magnuson) Expired Note: I will respond to requests with a clear intent to pick up and a suggested window of time. I found this unopened packet of 5 small Daiso whiteboard markers that I used to buy for a volunteer job that ended in 2020 - the packet was well sealed, and the one I tried works fine. They are small (Sharpie for comp) and NOT worth traveling far to pick up. Drive-by pickup in my condo complex. Preference for requests that provide: (1) clear intent to pick up, (2) a 2 to 4 hour window of time and (3) a short easy name for a label. Early morning pickups need 12 hours notice and will be left out overnight.

Free: 3 bags of old used potting soil (Magnuson) Gifted Fine for garden use. All or none! I will respond to posts with clear intent and a window of time to pick up, as well as a first name I can put on a label. Please read info at the end. More details: This potting soil is probably not suitable for indoor use. I assume it's pretty depleted, having been used for various potted plants, outdoor and indoor, which I've saved as I repotted. There will be small bits of old moss, leaf detritus and fine roots. Full disclosure: There might also be seeds (I've grown various herbs, but there could also be weeds). I've been collecting this in an open bin on my deck as I renewed pots over the last several years, and it was super dry and dusty when I bagged it today so I moistened it a bit to keep the dust down. It would be a good filler for garden beds with amendments. You'll need to bring clips to keep the bags closed, since they are too dusty for tape and I don't have heavy twist ties. PLEASE READ: Easy drive-by pickup in my condo complex. Preference for requests that provide: (1) clear intent to pick up, (2) a reasonable window of time and (3) a first name for a label. Early morning pickups need 12 hours notice and will be left out overnight.

Free: Folk Life license plate frame (Magnuson) Gifted The photo says it all. New, from volunteer swag this year. I prefer my "I power KEXP" frame 😎 If you respond, please provide a four-hour window of time to pick up and a short name I can label it with.

Free: Women's XC skis & boots, SNS (Magnuson) Gifted Note: I only respond to messages with a clear intention to pick up, a date, and a proposed 2-4 hour window of time. More details at the end below. IMPORTANT: These skis and boots use the proprietary Salomon SNS binding system, therefore they are supposed to go together. They cannot be paired with an nnn binding or boot, although the bindings can certainly be replaced - the skis only ever had these bindings. Just in time for ski season, these are well-loved Salomon XA ("X-Adventure") backcountry/climbiing/DH skis and boots, suitable for telemark turns >>with the proprietary SNS binding system<<. I haven't used them since 2012 and it's past time to find them another home. The skis are 145cm, meant for someone who is about 5"4". The boots are men's Size 7/Euro 40, which were super-comfortable on my W's 7.5/Eu39 medium-width feet with thick trekking socks. They are intended to be pretty stiff - not nearly as stiff as Alpine boots, but definitely not as "ankle-boot" flexible as typical XC boots. One of the bindings is missing its rubber gasket which keeps detritus out of the inner workings. I would just put a piece of blue tape over the opening, which easily lasted for a day or two. For serious backcountry and/or downhill skiing the bindings and skis should probably be tuned/sharpened, and the scaled bases could do with a cleaning and reapplication of cold wax, but they're good to go as is for an easy X-C trek on flat terrain. The width and the short length really are designed for fun downhill turns in backcountry conditions. We used to go lift skiing in our BC gear, and although I never mastered a proper telemark turn on a groomed slope, I could do stem turns on these. Easy front-door pickup inside my condo complex. Fair Offer applies, and I am posting this on Sunday night, so pickup might end up being after Thanksgiving (none on T-Day). I only respond to messages that have a clear intention to pick up, a date or range of dates, and a 2-4 hour window of time. I won't leave these outside overnight, so no pickups before 10am! ~Jan

Free: Grohe faucet heads - one or both (Magnuson) Expired One shower spray head, one kitchen spray head, specifications are below. Take one or both. I only respond to replies that provide: (1) a clear intent to pick up, (2) a window of time according to the information in my last paragraph, and (3) a first name for a label. My reply will include directions. One complete message from you, one from me, and we're done. These still have good life in them if you have very good water pressure, which I do not. I purchased them in 2014 to replace the originals that came with my condo, and noticed an increase in water delivery, so I've replaced them again, because even with our soft water these get some scale buildup over the years. I regularly wiped the little rubbery nubs to keep those clear. I've scrubbed these, soaked their insides in vinegar, and gave them a final sanitizing soak with hydrogen peroxide, so they are as clean as I can get them. For the shower: Grohe "Relexa Top 4 Hand Shower - 4 Sprays" attaches to any existing shower hose for a hand-held faucet - universal snap-in/out hose adapter is included. For the kitchen: Grohe "46 298 LC0 Ladylux Plus Handspray" this one is designed to work with an existing Grohe faucet mount with the pull-out hose. the faucet model was also called the LadyLux (dating from at least 20 years ago?) although I believe, based on Amazon reviews, that there are some other Grohe kitchen models that this particular faucet head will work with, where the design of the faucet handle and base might be somewhat different between models, but the mount where the hose goes is the same.

Free: Two 50 watt incandescent floods (Magnuson) Expired Per photo. Regifting as I don't have a use for them. They work. PLEASE READ: Drive-by pickup in my condo complex.

Free: Wireless KB and mouse, Logitech (Magnuson) Gifted PLEASE READ: Easy drive-by pickup in my condo complex. I only respond to replies that provide: (1) a clear intent to pick up, (2) a two-hour pickup time window (more info below), and (3) some kind of first name for a label. My reply will include directions. One complete message from you, one from me, and we're done. This is an older Logitech MK300 wireless keyboard (plus mouse and usb receiver) which miraculously works again after I finally took the keyboard apart to give it a thorough cleaning, because all of the directional keys had stopped working and air dusting didn't help. All the keys work now, but in the meantime I had bought a new set. Couple of issues: all of the letter keys have replacement labels on them (this keyboard has had a long life) and the battery compartment door has been missing for a while. Plug and play, works perfectly with Win 10 and probably started its life on Win 8. Mouse=2AA, KB=2AAA. Wired receiver=standard USB-A. I will take this to Goodwill if it's not gone by Sunday evening. Morning pickups need 12 hours advance notice and will be left out overnight. I will contact the next request in case of no-shows.

Free: Upholstery needles and pins (Magnuson) Gifted What you see in the photo. Old, but only used for one project. PLEASE READ: Easy drive-by pickup in my condo complex. I only respond to replies that provide: (1) a clear intent to pick up, (2) a window of time according to the information below, and (3) a first name for a label. My reply will include directions. One complete message from you, one from me, and we're done. Generally, allow 12 hours for pickup communication and logistics, but if I'm home and happen to see a message quickly, I will accommodate shorter times if the timing works. Early morning pickups require 12 hours and will be left out overnight.
