A couple days ago I got a 17" Dell crt.
I found a 27" tv awhile ago.
P3 633
Sony mini hi-fi
two quality desks and numerous other furnishings(all within the last year)

So what about you folks?
 
A gas grill w/tank
Oscillating room fan (using right now 🙂)
2 vacuum cleaners
small coffee table
round short table

That's all I can think of right now.
 
Almost new thermostatically controlled window/box fan with a cat/dog-chewed power cord. Changed the cord and I was good to go.

Floor lamp with a burned out bulb.

Nothing else that I can remember that's any good. I have all the furnishings and electronics I need, and have absolutely zero room in my small apartment for more, so it's been awhile since I picked anything up. In fact, I've put out good stuff myself lately due to lack of space. I guess I'm rich now. (NOT!)
 
a couple variacs

i actually got them from the dump. lmao. i was dumping stuff and saw them. woot.

this was years and years ago.. the appliances and household waste was split so it wasnt like it was filthy.
 
my computer chair 😉
a few glasses, a few busted monitors we threw off our college room balcony...not much else 😛
 
Are you guys talking about when the neighborhood have their annual thing where people drop of large pieces of trash to the curb? I remember my parents use to do it when they first came to the states. Is that what you guys are talking about? Pardon my ignorance.
 
Maybe this counts because it was from the curbside, but several years ago I was escaping from a strip of warehouse stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, etc.) through the back of their lot and behind the Toys-R-Us was a huge rolloff dumpster and the employees were hauling out and throwing away their warehouse shelving and hardware (the big green-and-orange steel shelving you see in Sam's Club and places like that). I asked what the story was and they explained that the manager had told them to get rid of all ther warehouse shelving and then they were going to buy all new warehouse shelving. They said that I was welcome to anything I wanted as long as I got it before the rollowff dumpster got picked up next week.

So for several days I made a couple of trips a day with as much of the shelving I could stack on top of my jeep without the tires blowing up. I've got a three-car garage with a loft, but it's pretty big for a three-car garage since it's got extra-high ceilings and one of the spaces is designed to fit an RV. So I built what was for a time a "Jungle Gym" of industrial shelving (with spaces for cars and "bridges" going across up above. That was a lot of fun, but now it's all filled with computer equipment and grip-and-electric.

I don't know how much it would have cost to buy, but it made me happy. That Toys-R-Us closed down about a year later.
 
We have this every year also...one year I was out mowing the lawn, and when I finished I left the mower within maybe 8-10 ft of where all the junk was on the curb...within 10 mins somebody came and tried taking it, luckily my dad was outside at the time and stopped them
