Free: Tall 3-piece Entertainment Center (Crestwood) Gifted 117d - Pictures could be better, but all three pieces of this entertainment center/display case set are in great shape. Glass doors and shelves are all in perfect condition and all three pieces of furniture are wrapped in moving plastic, and already ready to go. We had to clear out a family storage locker for an older relative who never used this set, but just had been keeping it in storage. The only damage on this entire set that I noticed is the corner of one of the interior wooden shelves that honestly cannot be seen once the shelves are all in place. Cabinets all have lighting, which still works to our knowledge. The side cabinets measure approx. 24"x16.5"x78.25" (w/d/h) and the center cabinet measures 33.5"x16.5"x78.25" (w/d/h). The center cabinet main opening measures roughly 30"x27.5" (w/h), so it wouldn't fit most modern widescreen TVs, but I've seen these sort of cabinets turned into cool bars. Plus the wood from the set could pretty easily be painted to suit your tastes.

Free: Wall Mount Phone Base (Crestwood) Expired 316d - I know some people like to strip old electronics for wires and parts, and I assume this is all this is good for. This is just the base (pictured) and doesn't include any cord or handset. I believe it was snipped from wherever it last hung. Those parts are long gone. I honestly do not even recall how this ended up in our possession.

Free: Tandil Fabric Softener (Crestwood) Gifted 316d - This container of Tandil "ultra soft" is somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 full (you can sort of see the line in the picture). I do not know when this was purchased, but I would guess within the last 4-5 years. We just do not use fabric softener anymore and it's taking up space in our laundry room.

Free: Trailer Hitch Ball Mount (Crestwood) Expired 316d - This is one of several trailer hitch ball mounts that we found after my uncle passed away earlier this year. Specs: It is marked as 2" and 6000lb. There is no pin included. Appears to be for a U-Haul type truck, so the connector (not the ball part) is larger than the other two I posted. I cannot speak to the quality of this ball mount as I have never used one and I'm doubting my uncle used it either. He just bought things that looked like a good deal...

Free: Trailer Hitch Ball Mount (2") (Crestwood) Expired 316d - This is one of several trailer hitch ball mounts that we found after my uncle passed away earlier this year. Specs: It is marked as 2" and 3500lb. There is a pin included with this one. I cannot speak to the quality of this ball mount as I have never used one and I'm doubting my uncle used it either. He just bought things that looked like a good deal...

Free: Trailer Hitch Ball Mount (1 7/8) (Crestwood) Gifted 316d - This is one of several trailer hitch ball mounts that we found after my uncle passed away earlier this year. Specs: It is marked as 1 7/8 and 2000lb. There is no pin included. I cannot speak to the quality of this ball mount as I have never used one and I'm doubting my uncle used it either. He just bought things that looked like a good deal...

Free: Fabric Softener (Crestwood) Expired 316d - This large container of "free & gentle" Downy is somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 full. I do not know when this was purchased, but I would guess within the last 4-5 years. We just do not use fabric softener anymore and it's taking up space in our laundry room.

Free: Swingline Paper Cutter (Crestwood) Expired 316d - Full disclosure: This paper cutter is slightly damaged, but appears to still work fine. This paper cutter served me well for twelve years and still has the original box, but was damaged when it was dropped during a move. You can see where it cracked as a result of the move. I recommend fixing that crack with a good adhesive if you decide to take this as the blade moves a little more than I'd like while it's cutting. I go through too many papers to continue to deal with the issue and have honestly needed to move to a heavier duty cutter for a long time. Again, it still works, but will likely be a little annoying/require more patience until the crack is sealed and may no longer hold up to heavy use (e.g. several pages at a time, thick cardstock, etc.).

Free: Garage Door Opener (Crestwood) Expired 316d - Long story short, the packaging of this Craftsman garage door opener is open, but to my knowledge the opener has never been used. It appears to work in that a little red light shows when buttons are pressed. It doesn't go with the garage door opener in our house, we just found it here when we moved in.

Free: Formula (Crestwood) Gifted 1y - Our baby outgrew formula and we had some leftover unopened containers that we forgot about until recently, and we'd hate for them to be wasted. These are two bottles of ready-to-drink Enfamil NeuroPro (sell by date Sep. 1. 2022, but likely good long after that) and the powder version as well (sell by date Jan. 1, 2023, but again likely good long after that). They have been stored exclusively in an airconditioned home the whole time we've had them. I will try to be quick in responding to the first person to claim them. Just let me know what date and time you'd like to pick them up and we can set them in a shady spot just before you arrive.

Free: Twin Mattress (clean!) (Lindenwood Park (St. Louis)) Gifted 1y - This twin mattress was gently used, based on my parents' neighbor's account. I am posting this on behalf of them. Note: As you can see in the second picture there are light rust marks on the back of the mattress from resting on a metal frame for some years. My parents are setting this out for special pickup if no one wants it in the near future. Pickup location is in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood in southwest St. Louis city, not far from Lindenwood Park itself. My parents want this gone tomorrow if possible (Thursday June 30).

Free: Freezer Packs (Reusable) (Crestwood) Gifted 1y - All six of these freezer packs are in good shape. The two on the left are like freezable foam bricks and the other four have a gel inside of them. They are labeled as reusable and are in good shape, so I'd hate to throw them away. The insulating silver bag on the edge of the left side of the picture is up for grabs, too.

Free: Fluorescent Light Fixture (plug-in) (Crestwood) Expired 1y - This light fixture measures ~24"x12.25". It's all metal and has a three-prong plug. This has been hanging in the basement since we moved into our home a couple of years ago. As far as I know it works, but I've never put bulbs in it to find out, so I can't guarantee it works. It comes with the little chains that were used to hang it from screws they put in the joists.

Free: Little Ceramic Countertop (Crestwood) Gifted 1y - This section of countertop measures ~29.5"x11.5 and that back part is ~4" tall. It is sort of a cream color and appears to be in good shape. This came out of one of our bathrooms as we were updating plumbing and we don't need it anymore.

Free: Soft-Pink Toilet (Crestwood) Expired 1y - This toilet is from about 1961 and was removed as we updated some plumbing. It passed inspection when we bought our home a few years ago, was removed shortly after we bought the house, and has since just been sitting in the garage collecting dust. Probably all of the plastic bits in the tank and the chain need to be replaced, as well as the toilet seat, but otherwise it appears to be in good shape, at it comes with two little ceramic covers for the nuts/bolts at the base of the toilet (pictured). Note: This toilet DOES NOT have a top to the tank, as the previous owners had an extended countertop that I guess rendered the toilet too tall to have the ceramic top on it, so the top no longer exists.
