Not all is trash

Not everything is trash. Yesterday I found a bicycle lying on the ground. A quick look showed that some repairs were needed. Today I looked closer and discovered that the rear axle was broken as well as the derailer, and hand brake. The bike was beyond repair. The rest was still good.

I hate to throw things out so I put an ad on Kijiji and listed it for free. The ad stated that the bike was suitable for parts. The tires, frame, seat, and handle bars were still good. Within one hour I had a call from someone who wanted it. He came and picked it up.

Over the years I have given many things away that I had found. The list includes - baby stroller, old dresser, basketball net with backboard. There is more but I can't remember. Another good site is craigslist I have learned to be patient with these sites. Sometimes it takes a month or more for some to respond. If you don't want to wait then try the local thrift store.
