Oh my gosh -- guess what we got today!

I just had to post what we got from Freecycle this morning: a FREE 53" HD TV!!! OMG, its gorgeous and works great -- the kids were playing video games on it this morning (my SIL's kids are here overnight) There's a slight problem that needs to be fixed - the left side has a bit of double images - and we'll get it fixed after Christmas. It'll cost us $350 to fix but compared to $1,500 for a new tv its a drop in the bucket! Hubby's grinning from ear to ear over *his* new TV.

Everyone keeps asking me how someone could just give away a perfectly good expensive TV, and hubby said you should have seen what they replaced it with.... a 60+ inch plasma TV is hanging on the wall :rolleyes: Hey, what is trash to them is definately treasure to us!

People, anyone who has NOT checked out freecycle.org needs to do so now! In the past month, I also got a new end table, a ton of baby clothes (which Ashley thought were "ugly") and a HUGE Little Tikes jungle gym for outside in the spring. I also gave things away like my old sweaters and the "ugly" baby clothes (I feel you need to be charitable where you can if you're receiving charity)

That is AWESOME! I use the two local freecycle groups here as well. In fact yesterday a lady came and picked up a fireplace set from me that we never use! ;)

We have a huge 48 inch tv sitting in our family room because it wasn't worth fixing but it still works..the colors go funny though...hmmm maybe someone will want it....

That is great.I will have to check this freecycle out. :cool:

So whatcha gonna do with your OLD tv??? ;)

AWEsome ! ( :p ) I should definetly check it out.

What?! I go on Freecycle everyday and have never seen anything like that around here! You are so lucky!! Cool beans!!!

Congratulations! I've heard of Freecycle but never checked to see if we have one locally. :)

That is very cool.

Just yesterday we gave away our old 32" TV to a girl I work with. They were very happy to have it. I love giving things to people who appreciate them.

Wonder if we have anything like that over here???
