that is absolutely what I get out of it. Someone takes it away and I do not have to take it to the dump. However, I also prefer to give that semi-ok bike to someone who will fix it as opposed to having it clutter up the landfill. Like I say, when it works it is win-win. However, it is perhaps more work than selling stuff on e-bay, just cause you have to deal with people's wierd ideas. I also had an offer for some old computer monitors. I waited a day for some guy to come by and say oh sorry, I thought you meant music monitors (?).
I don't even know what those are, but I am pretty sure there probably aren't 15 extras floating around albuqueruque, let alone being given away in one fell swoop...
