I've seen a few snowthrowers go through. Lots more requests for that than offers, though. But, I have seen a few offered. I'm constantly amazed.
The piano we got needed an $80 tuning. That and the 20 bucks in gas money we gave our friend with the truck and we were good to go. It's from the 20's and weighs a ton. But, my husband couldn't be happier. And, there's no way we could have afforded a new one. He made his "piano debut" at his gig last Friday. (There's a bar that has a piano in it and he was doing a gig there anyway.) Unfortunately, nobody wants my barrel full of treated lumber scraps, my bi-fold closet door, or my plastic screen track.
