Cool free shit on Craigslist/FB marketplace
detroit always has the best stuff
>>2945951rip cli hope suckerburg burns for an extra eternity for funneling all the private party sales onto his griftsitei refuse to participate in the facefuck bullshit and it has cost me my favorite past time of buying crap at deals from strangers
>>2946000Even if you sign in to faceberg its still so fucking broken as demonstrated in picrel
>>2946000Just start going to auctions. What you do with 7 broken air compressors or forklifts is a problem for future you
>>2946000100% agreed. I guess the only saving grace is that CL won't outright disappear since it appears to be a nonprofit so as far as I can tell less traffic makes it easier to maintain. Maybe in a few years people will get sick of zero-effort screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-text-of-a-picture posts with no/wrong information and will start using CL again. One can dream.
What kills me more than anything is facebook marketplace's search is absolute dogshit. You can't narrow down the results like you should be able to. It's a shit show.
>>2946058Yeah and 80% of the shit in the free section is just someone who posted some piece of shit beater for $0 then says DM me for price
anybody need a hand bag?
I appreciate a sense of humor, kek
>>2945991You’d be a fool to pass this up.
>>2946001man mg's used to be hot shit
>>2947945Can't tell if you're saying MGs used to be good, or bad, or popular, but either way you are correct.
>>2947898I see some useable parts but dunno if it would make a decent compressor or not. If it is really free even if you ended up salvaging some components and scrapping the rest you should be able to come out ahead. That being said I don't know if I would go out of my way to get it or anything...
>>2946120i don't buy drag queen shit
Oh shit yeah boi
>>2945951Toaster ovens work nicely for drying stick welding rods. That's a nice score for someone.
>>2947226kek'd
what projects can i do with this
>>2949494Get rid of lots of groundhogs
>>2949494Anon that guy was getting rid of dead body smells.
Curbside findGot it home plugged it up flipped the switch and the chuck makes like two rotations then stops and if you leave it on it starts humming louder and louder. Is this fixable?I was just gonna spray it down with oil and see if it unseizes but I didn't know if it would cause some kind of slippage somewhere or something
>>2949714Might be a run capacitor. Tear it apart, clean it up and make sure the spindle turns freely, make sure the motor turns freely. If it still does it see if it has a start/run cap and change it out.
>>2946000Kinda crazy how many gaping asshole picture postings I see on Facebook.
>>2949329The welding rod ovens are a rip off. I soaked both 6010s and 7018s in a bottle of water over a weekend. Welded fine. Ground open welds and not a hint of porosity. I was in welding school at the time and I showed my instructor. His response was “I have no explanation for that”. I think it’s a wives tale that the people who make the rod ovens are too happy to continue.
This isn't free, but it was free for them.
>>2949964have you never jumped a title? if theres any question of whether im gonna keep a rig i dont bother changing it. especially if its a shitbox that might have a rod put in its notice and part company with the crank
Local guy is giving away 9 pairs of bowling alley chairs. Free, gotta take all of them. I kinda want them just for the bases. They'd make some sweet feet for workbenches, or something like that I'd imagine...
>>2949720I just took it apart, cleaned it and oiled it xD
>>2950098Good job anon. 90% of fixing shit is just degunking and cleaning stuff up so it can work properly again.
>>2945951Wow what a neat lamp :))
>>2952429Looks like he wants to give more away than just the lamp.
>>2945951not free but cheap. wish i had somewhere to put it
did I win /diy/?
>>2945951I gotta look into this more, but I have no projects ongoing.
>>2956095The /diy/ miracle elixir! You know what you must doAlso, why the fuck your cursor so big? Are you in a different room to your computer when using it?
>>2945951If you find keys, give them away for free on Facebook. It's the Romanian Advent calendar.
>>2945951
>>2957016So you gonna go pick it up?
>>2946002lmao
>>2945992Only a dumb nog would sell this
>>2948581Your loss.
>>2945992>detroitNo way its not stolen
>>2957655
>>2959299I always love when people put absolute trash on there...Guy is still selling a ball washer on craigslist. Description and the fact that he lists it in heavy equipment cracks me the fuck up every time...https://cosprings.craigslist.org/hvo/d/fountain-combination-ball-washer-urinal/7889843671.html
>>2959306kek wasn't that posted in the last thread
>>2945991Based fellow Macomb County resident>>2945992 Detroit shit is always wild
>>2959317>kek wasn't that posted in the last threadYeah I put it up in the last one too. Apparently that guy keeps his "heavy equipment" up on Craigslist constantly. Kek! Heavy equipment, tools, auto parts, etc are some of my most frequently browsed sections of Craigslist.
>>2959411>Heavy equipmenti remember when they first added this section circa 2014ish. i scored so many killer deals and free shit from suburbanite ladies cleanout the garage. best was a brand new 13hp honda commercial pressure washer for free from a lady in a ritzy mcmansionbiz/comm seems to be the only remaining category that yields the occasional gem these days and it takes wading through a lot of shit
>>2959417I like in a city of about 120k people. CL and Facebook are quiet. Not dead, but not doing well. Nothing moves and people list shit thinking they are selling on eBay. More then once I have seen a listing, waited a few days, given them a lowball offer, and then have them come back after a few weeks and see if I am still interested or just have it perpetually listed for months. Did everyone more to a different site or is the economy for used goods just over with?

Did everyone more to a different site or is the economy for used goods just over with?I've noticed there isn't as much stuff for sale right now too. Or if it is for sale it's either completely clapped out or listed at an exorbitant price. I think a lot of people are holding onto what they have because the economy is so volatile right now. A lot of "extra" stuff has probably already been unloaded due to craigslist and facespace marketplace being a thing for so long now. The people that wanted it gone have sold and the people that want it have it now, and aren't planning on letting it go. I've noticed yard sales are not as common anymore, and a lot of consignment auctions get mainly junk brought to them compared to years past. Estate sales, and estate auctions can still be good though.
I feel sure I've posted these somewhere on diy before, but these are probably my favorite freebie ever xD
>>2962035*Holds up spork*
>>2962038Spork check
>>2949981>Free, gotta take all of them. I kinda want them just for the basesWhat if you load up 4, then jump in your truck and drive off?
>>2962191That'd be pretty dumb, those bases look really useful
>>2962191>What if you load up 4, then jump in your truck and drive off?>>2962194>That'd be pretty dumb, those bases look really usefulI still haven't gotten them, but I do know he still has them. I drove by and saw them sitting there on Wednesday. I happened to be right there getting some cattle lick tubs and salt blocks with the dump trailer on after hauling a couple tons of scrap steel to the scrapyard. Checked a different listing of his on facespace and it says he is only there Friday-Monday. So maybe I'll see if I can snag them this weekend...
>>2962350It would be funny if you unbolted the top from bottom and just left the base
>>2962356>It would be funny if you unbolted the top from bottom and just left the baseNow why would I leave the base when that is the part I want?
>>2962357>Now why would I leave the base when that is the part I want?Yeah i meant to type top, but being a retard, it came out wong
>>2959441Why did you greentext the entire post you’re responding to?
>>2945991>>2959365hot damn based fellow macomb fags
>>2962423To get stupid replies from idiots like you. You know, for attention and all. Kinda like your post.
>>2962424>>2945991>>2959365this town aint big enough for the four of us
>>2962423>Why did you greentext the entire post you’re responding to?Because fuck you, I do what I want.
>>2962350Went and picked them up this evening. Already got them stripped down. 18 cast feet, 9 T-bars (like half an I-beam) forgot to measure how long. A gallon coffee can about 3/4 full of nuts and bolts, bunch of plastic chairs for the burn barrels, and metal seat frames that I'm unsure if I can cut and salvage anything from, or just scrap out. Took maybe 30-45 minutes to process them all. Not bad for free.
>>2954327fuuuug imagine
>>2962495>bunch of plastic chairs for the burn barrels,not really though right?
This would be cool. I don't know anything about restoring them, however.
I might try to go check this out.
>>2962540another pic. lots of fasteners
>>2962541fucking GOBring a trailer, its gonna be heavy
>>2962540Dude I would've been all over that ASAP
>>2962549>>2962578Anything you see that sticks out as a grab? I don't think I can snag the super long stuff.
>>2962592I mean if he just lets you pick and choose, and you can't or don't want to take all of this is what I would grabI would make an effort to get all the fasteners though, at least.
>>2962605Roger that. Thanks, anon. I sent a message out, and now I'm just waiting on a response.
I don't think this guy is going to respond. He probably got a ton of messages.
>>2962621Get Rainbolt to tell you where he lives and just show up. Most people like that are first come first serve
>>2962534They're gonna burn real nice...
>>2962661Oh, man. You could troll somebody so good with those. That neighbor you don't like? Send him one every week until you run out. One might find out where he works and send them there addressed to the boss but with an invoice to neighbor.
>>2962534>not really though right?If it makes you feel better I did salvage some sheets of the ABS from the chairs for future projects.
>>2962726You can heat gun/weed torch it to rejuvenate the plastic.
>>2962737>You can heat gun/weed torch it to rejuvenate the plastic.Oh I weed torched the rest and rejuvenated the shit out of it all right...
