If it is free they will come

We’ve had this massive 56 inch TV squatting in our horrible back room for over a year. Why the hell we have it in the 1st place is because it was free. A good friend of ours is in the moving business and a customer didn’t want it anymore.My boyfriend was a mover when I met him,along with most of his friends and lets just say there was a ton of second hand furniture floating about.I know from my own past moves that one sheds a lot of personal belongings during any move.

Back to the TV as big as a house. So we lugged it up the stairs,plugged it in and it worked. Bonus. But it was way too much TV for us. It dwarfed our living room space. It loomed.So we shoved it in the horrible back room and used the top as a shelf.

My success with getting a good TV on Craigslist inspired me to finally take some snaps of the monster and post an ad in the free section.Free as in no money just come and get it. Free as in if I were a fool I’d pay you to come take it.

I got responses 10 minutes after I published the ad which was not sugar coated at all. I said it wasn’t perfect, huge, needed a van to transport it and needed more than one person to come get it.When I checked my email today there were 12 more emails asking about it.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. How does one decide this? I will give it to the 1st guy who wrote. But if he doesn’t like it when he sees it I will probably give it to the charity that wrote to me today.
