CL Free section is AMAZING

[Rolling_Thunder]

I have an old Craftsmans radial Arm saw that has the Digital readout for the degrees on it. Well it dont work and the switch is bad on it and the tabletop needs to be replaced. I posted it on craigslist Free section just to get it out of my garage and within 5 m inutes I had 2 calls on it. AMAZING!

EDIT make that 3 calls just received ANOTHER CALL

Competely agree. A few years ago my wife and I decided to remove poured in place garden borders. "Maybe someone on CL wants them?" The first 1.5 hrs I fielded 9 calls. A woman, her two large sons, a truck, and a trailer we at my house in 45 min. They dug them all of them up and removed every last piece.

Price $0! ...I drank a beer instead.

there is always some one looking for somthing for nothing. And free is the best price. And the plus side is that you don't have to dicker on the price..... Rich

I saw on the news one time that a guy got fed up with his neighbors junk. So he put in a Craigslist free ad for it. The owner came home to find people in his yard taking his stuff.

Yes, agree, craigslist free as well as freecycle are great for finding a new home for unwanted stuff.

However, there's one possible reason why your freebie guy was so happy. He might have known there was a recall on Craftsman RAS and they were giving $100 cash and free shipping if you sent them back the old power head. Could be over by now, but he could have $100 coming in the mail.

Well he said he was getting it for his nephews shop to use until he can afford a good one. But if he makes $100 with it more power to him. Ive had thing given to me or I bought for a low price and sold for a profit!
