Free: 4 slice toaster, only 1 side works (Burlingame, CA) This is a very nice cuisinart toaster (wide slots for bagels) that we've had for about 6 years. Recently I saw a little flash on the right side of the toaster (like one of the heating wires shorted) and the right side stopped working. The left side (2 slots) works fine. If you're handy and you think you can replace the heating board for this toaster, all the better, but if you just want a nice toaster with two slots that work, this one's for you. We got an identical one to replace it, we liked it so much. The new one seems a bit cheaper but works fine.

Free: Yale needlepoint canvas + yarn (Burlingame, CA) My wife decided she doesn't want to do this one. It has the canvas and what looks like all the thread/yarn you need to fill it in. Any takers?

Free: Mat, protects floor from chair (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This is a standard plastic mat to go under an office chair to protect the floor. It's some kind of clear plastic. When cool it's a little stiff but if you need to roll it up you can warm it up in the sun for a few minutes and it will roll up fine. It's smooth on one side and has some modest roughness on the other side. For use with hardwood floors. Could work on rugs but it doesn't have spikes so it will shift around a bit on a rug. Main section is 35" X 35". Protruding "tongue" is 20" wide by 11" long.

Free: Used coffee maker, Black and Decker (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This is a good coffee maker that still works fine, but we just got a different one that's a bit newer. Happy to have someone else put it to good use.

Free: Dog crate, needs a good cleaning (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Our dog never took to this crate. It's been outside under our awning so needs a good cleaning, but it still works fine. Some rust on the metal bars but the locking mechanism is just fine and it's in good shape.

Free: Older road bike, needs work (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Older road bike, Univega Nuovo sport, about 30 years old, new tires and wheels, newish seat, granny gear, a bit heavy compared to modern bikes but includes a rack, a basket, and water bottle cage. Not a target for theft, has worked well forever. In pulling it out to show someone I found out that the shifters don't work properly, so this is a project for someone who has the patience and knowledge to fix it.

Free: Warm mist humidifier (Burlingame, CA) Gifted I've had this for awhile but we've switched over to a cool mist humidifier. In a small room this warms things up a bit, but in the winter when it's most needed, that's fine.

Free: Used Arvenir Pannier (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This Pannier has been used for a few years but it works fine. Sorry I just have one.

Free: Used coffee maker, Black and Decker (Burlingame, CA) Expired This is a decent coffee maker that still works fine, but we just got a different one that's a bit newer. Happy to have someone else put it to good use.

Free: Pinewood Derby Axle Shaper tool (Burlingame, CA) Expired I got this when our kids started cub scouts but never used it. If you are at that phase of child rearing and are passionate about making Pinewood derby cars go fast, this tool may help.

Free: Random legos in a nice plastic box (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This box is about half full of random Lego parts. We also have a bunch of old instruction manuals for lots of sets. Happy to give these to whoever wants them.

Free: 2 kinds of envelopes, by the dozen (Burlingame, CA) Gifted The yellow ones are about 10X14 and are stiff cardboard. I have about 50 of these. The white ones are 9X12 and are strong white paper. I have about 80 of these. Both used to seal up without tape but I suspect you'd need to tape many of these to make sure they're secure.

Free: 4 photo albums (Burlingame, CA) Gifted These are old but in excellent condition. Two are in the original packaging (bundled as a pair). The other two are loose but still look pretty good. If you need a few photo albums these should serve nicely.

Free: Old style automotive compass (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This is something pretty old, but it's in the original packaging. No idea when I got it, but I never installed it. I remember my grandfather having one decades ago. Nowadays it's kind of superfluous because of GPS but it's fun retro thing to have. Let me know if you want it.

Free: Star wars crochet set (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Strange, but true: The Star Wars craze has reached even to the the crochet community. If you want to try your hand at making a Jawa and BB-8, this is your chance. Plastic wrap opened but never used. All components are in the box.

Free: Two very large stuffed animals (Burlingame, CA) Gifted These are only a few years old, one of our kids got them with tickets at Dave and Busters. If your kid would like a giant rainbow bear or a cuddly sloth, these are for you. They are 2-3 feet long from butt to top of head. Soft and cuddly.

Free: Davinci clock model (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Our kids got this at some point but never used it. I think they may have opened a bag or two but all the parts seem to be there. It's yours if you want to try your hand at clock making!

Free: Be Bottle, insulated, makes tea (Burlingame, CA) Gifted My wife got this from a work event. It seems to have a place to put tea leaves for steeping and is very well insulated.Could just use it for water if you want also.

Free: Hitaway baseball practice gadget (Burlingame, CA) Gifted My brother got this for our kids years ago but the kids never took to baseball and we never used it. You attach two ends with velcro to a strong pole, then you can wack the baseball over and over again and it comes back to you. If you have a budding Willie Mays or Hank Aaron, this one's for you.

Free: Old apple cinema display 23" (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This apple cinema display still works and it's packed in its original box. It's 20-25 years old at this point, not sure. Compared to modern monitors its resolution is nothing special and it's got a vertical line running through the middle of the screen, but if you can look past those flaws, it works, and might be useful for someone. You'll need to get a converter to HDMI from the old apple video cable (see photos), but these aren't too expensive. We were using it with such a converter with a relatively recent Apple Mac Mini so we know it works fine. And if the only thing preventing you from grabbing the monitor is the lack of a converter to HDMI, I'll throw that in also.

Free: Adjustable furnace filter (Burlingame, CA) Gifted 14X20X1inch expandable to 20X25X1 inch. What can I say, it's a filter! We just switched out our furnaces for heat pumps and they use a different filter so this one is now superfluous.

Free: Rug pad, 24" wide, about 8 ft long (Burlingame, CA) Gifted I was cleaning the garage and found this. It's a good quality rug pad, but is something we trimmed off of a much larger pad. 2 ft wide X about 8 feet long (length is estimated, let me know if you need me to measure it exactly). Good for a runner.

Free: Two bike panniers (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Cleaning out the garage and I found these panniers. One even has original tags, so never used. The other one is a little dirty from being in the garage but if it's been used, it was only used a few times (I used its twin almost exclusively for many years on my old bike). They fit on standard racks. They are NOT the fancy ones that click in, but they do the job with a little hook and elastic cord

Free: Casio piano bench, lightly used (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This is a fine piano bench but we got one that had more of a cushion for one of our kids. We used it for a few months. It folds up nicely and stores in the original box.

Free: Orange lighted spider webs (Burlingame, CA) Gifted We have only used these once but don't need them anymore. Spiders! Webs! Orange lights! I just plugged it in and the lights work fine. Add to your Halloween displays!

Free: Two Honeywell thermostats (Burlingame, CA) Gifted We just converted our gas furnaces to heat pumps (electrify everything, baby!). The installers took out two Honeywell thermostats and replaced them with the correct ones for the new equipment. if you can use these, they're all yours. They worked well for 11 years. If you replace the batteries and figure out how to extend the leads (which the guys cut) they could work well for another 11 years.

Free: Dyson vacuum, doesn't work well (Burlingame, CA) Gifted This Dyson vacuum is about 10 years old and it recently stopped being as effective so we got a new vacuum. If you're handy and think you can fix it, it's yours! Or if you want it for parts, it's yours!

Free: Tuft & Needle foam mattress topper (Burlingame, CA) Gifted Queen sized Tuft & Needle foam mattress topper. It's in a nice cover and is only lightly used (we had it in our vacation house for a few months and my wife decided it was too soft). If you have a super hard mattress that needs softening, this one's for you! Tuft and Needle products are always well made, in my experience (we've had several of their mattresses over the years).

Free: Xerox Phaser 6360/DN laser printer (Burlingame, CA) Gifted I've had this fast color laser printer for 15 years and it still works very well. It's old but someone with more space than we have can probably make good use of it. I bought it for about $1600 back in the day. I think it's 20-30 pages per minute of high resolution color laser printing. Also does double sided prints. Would be good for a school or a non-profit org. I even have an extra set of printer cartridges (the ones in the machine are running low but still have some pages left in them). It's heavy (80 lbs?) and it measures 17" wide by 23" long by 18" high, so it's not small. I can help you get it in your hatchback. Amazon page with details here: If you could use a color laser printer to churn out thousands of pages of printing rapidly, then it's yours! We need to clean out our garage.
