WHX?? 46,920 #83 Posted July 14, 2023 Sorry to have to tell you boys this but I just curbed a nice ladies style 10 speed Schwinn. Nice set of genny lights on it and everything. Asked twelve dozen people if they wanted it and even a bike dealer dissed me. Out it went more room for tractors. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d strongly suspect you’ve got a stolen bike that the thief dumped. Edited July 20, 2023 by Handy Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two completely flat tires and the dust on it spoke volumes... Edited July 20, 2023 by SylvanLakeWH 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also - Helped neighbor with a perfectly good paddle board and wake board from trash into her pick up... I don't get people... Over the years, I've gotten many good things via "roadside shopping". One time it was a brand new or barely used dishwasher, which I miraculously was somehow able to squeeze into the back seat of the Sentra I was driving that day. I stuck it in the basement, and a few years later when the dishwasher we had died, that freebie went into production like a champ. Another time it was a 10 foot stepladder that had obviously been used but was in good shape... fell off a truck without the owner noticing... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,231 #89 Posted February 24 Technically not a throw away... Neighbor cleaning out garage... knows a guy who would take it... Anyone hazard if it's a "collectible" of any value as is?

D_Mac 8,239 #93 Posted March 29 I have a few old wagons. The one with the flowers is the oldest. It had spoke wheel but they were rotted out. I replaced them with wheels I took off the hot rod wagons and just painted them to look rusty. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
