Free: Baroque CD (Rockville) This is a CD of chamber music from the little-known Baroque composer Giovanni Benedetto Platti.

Free: Pachelbel Vespers CD (Rockville) Gifted The King's Singers, Charivari Agréable, directed by Kah-Ming Ng. This is (mostly) vocal music of Johann Pachelbel. This CD does *not* include the well known Pachelbel Canon. It is in good, used condition.

Free: Small compartments with lids (Rockville) Expired It's similar to a weekly pill taker box, but it only has 3 sections. It's about 5.5 inches by 1.5 inches. It seems like it might be useful for something, but I don't actually have a use for it. There are some walls inside each compartment which could be inconvenient if meds were stored in it. And there are small holes in each top and bottom -- not large enough for a pill to go through, but it means that it's neither air-tight nor water-tight.

Free: Microwave plate and ring (Rockville) Gifted Plate is 11 inches in diameter and in great condition. It came from a Sharp brand, Carousel model that was 12 years old. It may or may not work with other brands or models or years. The bottom of the plate has 3 "teeth" in the center that mesh with the rotating gear inside the microwave. Most microwaves seem to have this kind of setup, but the exact sizes and shapes of the teeth and gear can vary.

Free: Microwave oven, not working (Rockville) Expired It's 12 years old and past its life expectancy. It stopped working a few days ago. Perhaps it could be repaired if you know how to tinker with these things.

50d

Request: Sprayer nozzle (Rockville) Expired I'm looking for a sprayer/nozzle that attaches to a standard garden hose. I need one that is in working condition, but it's ok if it just needs a new gasket where it attaches to the hose.

67d

Free: Expired spices (Rockville) Gifted All are opened but nearly full, and all are past their best-by dates: chili powder (2022), ground mustard (2022), ground sage (2023), ground cinnamon (2018).

76d

Free: 3-ring binders (Rockville) Expired Just in time for school. Both have some noticeable wear but are usable. The binder edge is only 1 inch tall so they're relatively thin. The covers are translucent. Both binders snap open and close just fine.

101d

Free: Calculator (Rockville) Gifted Just in time for school. Scientific calculator with WriteView display that allows calculations to be entered and displayed as written on paper. It seems to work. Comes with instructions. There was some tape residue on the back which has been covered with fresh tape. When you need to change the batteries, you'll need one of those teeny-tiny screwdrivers to remove the cover.

Free: 3-ring binders (Rockville) Expired Both have some noticeable wear but are usable. The binder edge is only 1 inch tall so they're relatively short. The covers are translucent. Both binders open and close just fine.

Free: Virginia Tech sticker (Rockville) Expired New in package. Was sent by mistake. Size is approximately 4 x 2 inches.

148d

Free: Foam scraps (Rockville) Expired Maybe good for crafts? These are pieces that were cut from a polyurethane foam pillow.

172d

Free: Bicycle helmet pads (Rockville) Expired A random assortment of pads for the inside of a bicycle helmet.

189d

Free: Bicycle handlebar attachment (Rockville) Gifted This looks like it attaches to the handlebar on a bicycle and has a detachable piece that could hold something (I don't know what). Unfortunately, I don't have any instructions for it.

189d

Free: Valve stem (Rockville) Gifted I don't know where this came from, but it looks like a valve stem for a bicycle tire.

189d

Free: Inflator needles (Rockville) Gifted I have 5 inflator needles for pumping air into sports balls, plus a package with a needle and another do-hickey that looks like it would be used for pumping up inflatable mattresses, swimming pools and pool toys. I assume they work but haven't tested them. Take one or any number of them. Tell me how many you need.

189d

Free: Tennis racquet wrap (Rockville) Gifted Still in the package but has been in storage for an unknown amount of time.

189d

Free: Bicycle tire tube (Rockville) Gifted It looks to be unused though it has been in storage for an unknown amount of time.

189d

Free: 4 adult caps (Rockville) Expired Two match each other. All have logos, are adjustable in the back, and are slightly soiled, though still usable. Take any or all of them.

Free: Framed poster (Rockville) Expired Poster with gold-colored metal frame, 19 x 32 inches.

Free: Flapper with float (Rockville) Expired This toilet flapper was in a tank that emptied and was unused for a while, and so it kind of dried out, shrank and hardened a bit, and then it didn't quite seal the hole at the bottom of the tank anymore, so I replaced it with a new one. Maybe it would fit a slightly smaller tank opening? Otherwise, it is intact. The diameter on the top is just shy of 2.5 inches. It's a lovely shade of dark teal. And the float still ... floats.

249d

Free: Headphones (Rockville) Expired They work but have two issues. First, the foam on the earpieces is worn. Second, the adjustable headband is also worn, and it wants to keep expanding larger than is needed to fit on your head. Otherwise, they're good, lightweight headphones, and the cord is plenty long. The audio jack is the smaller kind that works with many smaller devices. The model is Panasonic RP-HT21.

273d

Free: Phone charger (USB Micro C) (Rockville) Gifted New charging block and cable. I believe it is a USB Micro C connection; it has the somewhat irregular shape. It was for a Motorola phone. The cable is quite short; it looks to be only a few inches in length. It doesn't fit my current phone, so I can't be certain that it works.

277d

Request: Electric shaver with trimmer (Rockville) Expired I'm looking for a working electric shaver with trimmer, for my son.

345d

Request: empty CD jewel case (Rockville) Received I'm looking for a single standard, empty CD jewel case to replace one that is broken, and ideally, I'd like to transfer the CD labels from the broken case to the new one. Does anyone have a spare one?

Free: Half of a hose (Rockville) Expired Does anyone have a use for half of a garden hose? Some animal chewed it in half and there are some additional punctures in it as well. There's about 35 feet in length remaining, and the male end of the hose is still intact. It was a fairly lightweight and flexible hose, but unfortunately, I never got to use it.

Free: Low bedside tables (Rockville) Gifted Not in perfect cosmetic condition but still usable. Size is 23 x 19 x 4 inches. You could use them separately or put one on top of the other. Very lightweight. There are rubber-like feet on the bottom.

Free: Broken bird feeder (Rockville) Expired This thing has a spring-loaded mechanism that lets the inner core move inside the outer shell, and this part all seems to be intact. I am not sure exactly how it's supposed to work. However, there's a bottom piece that is supposed to fit on to the main structure, but it's so rusted that it doesn't stay connected anymore, so it seems like there's no way to keep bird seed in the feeder. If anyone wants to tinker with it or has another use for it ...

Free: Clear vinyl tubing (Rockville) Gifted The outside diameter of the tubing is 5/8 inch, and the inside diameter is 1/2 inch. It was originally 20 feet in length, but I may have cut off a short piece. It's dusty from having sat in the garage.
