Request: storage containers (central Ann Arbor) Hi all, I'm looking for storage containers that I can put various nuts, bolts, screws, washers, and so on into. My spring cleaning phase has reached the basement, and it's finally time to tidy up the loose bits of hardware that are just sitting unsorted in a couple of cardboard boxes. Edit: A friend suggested that "storage container" is kind of vague, and maybe a couple of pictures would help. Here are a couple of random pictures of storage containers. Other things might be great, too, but it doesn't hurt to explain what I mean. Thanks

Request: plastic step stool, one step (central Ann Arbor) Something small, one piece, maybe a foot high that can be used as a seat or a step. Nothing fancy, just something to save my knees when I'm working on something at ground level. Thanks

Request: pegboard tool clips (central Ann Arbor) Received Clips which fit in a standard pegboard. They come in different forms: clips, holders, rods, and so on. I'm interested in any and every type. Thanks.

Free: dutch oven, 6 quart red enamel (central Ann Arbor) Gifted Excellent condition. "Dash of That" brand. Cast iron covered with enamel. Heavy like you would expect cast iron to be.

Free: Dehumidifier (central Ann Arbor) Gifted The motor and everything else mechanical is okay, but it needs a refill of freon to get back in full working condition. I was going to refill it myself, but I acquired a replacement from a friend. Serendipity. Yours for the asking.

Free: Arris cable modem SB6121 (central Ann Arbor) Gifted This is an old cable modem, but it works just fine. If you're happy with a max download speed of about 170 Mbps and want to save the $14/month or more that Comcast charges for modem rental, this might be the solution for you. Very easy to set up.

Request: small computer (central Ann Arbor) Expired Hi, I'm looking for a very small-sized desktop computer. Hewlett-Packard makes something called a "small form factor", for example, and that's the size I'm looking for. Or smaller, that would be okay, too. I'm not looking for a super powerful computer, just something that can be used to go online for email or for writing short documents. I don't need a monitor or mouse or keyboard, just the computer. It doesn't even need to have an operating system as long as it powers on and is usable. Thanks

Request: perennial pollinator flowers (central Ann Arbor) Received We've decided to reclaim our yard from weeds and grass and make it more eco-friendly with native plants. I'm looking for pollinator perennials such as Purple Coneflower, Echinacea Purpurea Butterfly Milkweed, Asclepias tuberosa Rose Milkweed, Asclepias incarnata Wild Columbine, Aquilegia canadensis or something along those lines. If you have an excess of these but don't want to throw them out, I'm happy to dig up a few and give them a new home. Thanks.

Request: wine rack (central Ann Arbor) Expired Hi all, I'm looking for a wine rack. Nothing fancy: wood, metal, plastic, whatever, just something to sit on a shelf in the basement. Did you know that bottles stored on the basement floor make a really impressive mess when they're accidentally knocked over? I'm looking to avoid that. Again. Thanks

Free: dehumidifier (central Ann Arbor) Expired Probably needs freon. Fifty pints per day capacity. The motor works fine, it's easy to clean the filter, and I've used it with a hose instead of the (included) bucket. This cost something over $200 when I bought it a couple of years ago (See for something similar.) Free to a good (damp) home.

Request: hockey bag/goalie bag (central Ann Arbor) Expired Hi all, My child is doing a sport. This is good. The sport is field hockey. Still good. She's a goalie. Did you know that field hockey goalies need as much equipment as ice hockey players? All of this equipment needs a bag, and the one I have is literally falling apart. Does anyone have an old ice hockey or field hockey equipment bag that they're looking to get rid of? Thanks Andy
