Free: Fiesta ware dinner plates (Western Dearborn) I have 4 dinner plates and 4 dessert plates in pale yellow that are over 25 years old. They are in good condition except they have been used and washed in the dishwasher so they have faded and there are marks on the plates from use. The photo makes them look greenish, but they are all the same pale yellow. Good for every day dishes if you like them heavy.

Free: Four Pasta bowls (Western Dearborn) Colorful heavy Italian made pasta bowls. In good condition although there are a few chips of the paint on the edges. The eating portion is safe with no chips or cracks. The edges seem to have a different paint on them that chips off easily.

Free: B&D trimmer w/o charger (Western Dearborn) I loaned this Black & Decker hedge trimmer/grass clipper to someone and when I got it back they lost the charger. It is a NiCad battery and the new ones are all Lithium so I can't find a replacement. I am posting this on the chance that someone has a charger for it. This was lightly used although it must be at least 15 years old. It needs a 7.2 volt NiCad charger and on the device it says it needs a 5102404 charger.

Free: Plastic container (Western Dearborn) It is in good shape as I used it for bird feed for a while. It is about 12 inches high and about 5 inches wide near the top. Good for bird feed or dog food or whatever.

Free: Folding tray set (Western Dearborn) Gifted Set of four trays on a holder have been collecting dust in my basement for years. They are in great shape and work well for guests or if you need a temporary side table. Very sturdy and the set is heavy. I will be carrying them up the stairs 2 trays at a time. This is a photo I took from the internet as I was too lazy to take a photo of the real ones. It appears to be a $50 value when new.

Free: Toilet safety rail (Western Dearborn) Gifted This is new and never used. The person I got it for was big (tall and 200 lbs.) and I didn't feel it was sturdy enough to use. Perhaps it will work better with a smaller person or a different toilet or a person who knows what they are doing to put it together.

8d

Free: metal shelf brackets (Western Dearborn) Withdrawn I have 3 black metal shelf brackets that were used in the garage for a small shelf. Still in good condition. The 4th metal thing is a holder for hanging flowers or a feeder and can be nailed to something.

Free: Bird feeder and/or pole (Western Dearborn) Gifted This is a suet or seed cake feeder made to keep larger birds and critters out of the suet. You can take the feeder w/o the pole. Or you can take only the pole. The pole fastens to the deck railing. You can use it to hang flowers in the summer and bird feeders in winter! Both are new and never used.

Free: HVAC stuff (Western Dearborn) Withdrawn I have a new white (paintable) 10" x 8" ceiling/wall register. 2 way air deflection. I also have some kind of flappy thing that must go in a vent/duct and some other thing that must go around a round ductwork. I think my husband was supposed to make another oak register cover for our house, but it never happened.

9d

Free: Wood for crafting (Western Dearborn) Gifted I have lots of pieces of light weight wood (maybe pine) that will be great to make something. My husband thinks he was going to recreate the TARDIS box with a removable lid. He never got started on it. The large flat pieces are thin and the others are about an inch thick.

I have a half full box of the same in 14-2 NM-B with ground (see photo). Bonus gift of one plastic electrical outlet box.

Free: 24 inch LG TV (Western Dearborn) Gifted This is a lightly used older LG model number 24LJ4840. HD 780p Smart LED TV. It is white and comes with a stand/cord/remote control and even an owner's manual. It will work with cable or DVD player or games. Since it is an early smart TV I am not sure if it will work with all streaming. I was not able to set it up for Hulu as it said I needed to download something. It might work with earlier streaming like Sling.

Free: 24 inch Vizio TV (Western Dearborn) Gifted VIZIO D-series model D24f-G1. This TV is smart and works, but there are faint little lines going across the screen. It is watchable. I tried the software fixes recommended including a factory reset w/o success. I did not try taking the back off to check some Control board which is most likely the cause of the lines. It said to check the connections and if they are good then the board needs to be replaced for $15-40 (part bought online). Someone handy can have a nice little TV that works great.

11d

Free: Robert Heinlein classic books (Western Dearborn) Gifted I have The Notebook of Lazarus Long Illuminated by DF Vassallo out in 1978. I have four vintage paperback books by Heinlein in good condition and lovely cover artwork. To buy them online would cost at least $50. Have Space Suit- Will Travel. Rocket Ship Galileo. Red Planet. All published by Ace Books. The Day After Tomorrow is published by Signet.

Free: 4 locks (Western Dearborn) Gifted I have 3 Master locks and two have the longer part that fits on stuff. One Discus lock by Abus which is German made. Two locks have 2 keys and the other two have only one key. I don't know what happened to the other keys. Lost or in a drawer somewhere. The one master lock was painted white so it wasn't as shiny on something I had locked. You can probably get the paint off it since it is latex.

I bought it in CA in 2000 at an estate sale. Frame is approx. 24 inches by 30 inches. Artist name looks to be M. Coles.

Free: Make your own note cards (Western Dearborn) Gifted I have a personal paper trimmer and a package of 50 pieces of ivory card stock to give away. I also have many card fronts to start your project of making Christmas cards or All Occasion cards or note cards. I cut the paper in half and then folded it over and trimmed the card front/picture to size and glued it on and it was ready to go. You will need pencil, scissors and glue. You can purchase the envelopes at Staples or online. You can make any size card. It is fun and a good way to re-use the cute cards you get in the mail.
