type craigslist in the search bar...... there are quite a few threads on this.
Post under Services.
If you're posting under Appliances, Free, Wanted, etc, you will get flagged off pretty quick.
When they flag it...in your head say "thank you" an repost it...as now every time they flag it you can repost an its RIGHT back on top =)Quote:

I post in the labor section of services and get calls time to time. I am picking up a washer this evening I got a call on yesterday, and also got a call the day befor that for a refrigerator and furnace. But several weeks may go by without a call, it is hit and miss. I just post there as they do not get flagged, and prefer to go by their rules. Sometimes it may only be for an appliance or two, but twice I got calls that filled up my 16 ft flatbed twice each time, and several other times have gotten calls that again completely filled the flatbed. It does not cost, so if you do not get any calls you are not out anything.
I have not tried this yet, but it sounds like some good free marketing. If you got a few appliances out of it, then it would be worth it. I also know that people don't want to pay someone to haul things off. This could be a means to a free trade off. They are happy and we get the money!
Post them in the "General" sectionQuote:

Right up there with the guy who told me the other day and very sure of himself no less that there was an Ounce of gold in every computer....we've been missing out guys!
People like that make me giggle. Really. Giggle. Not laugh, not LOL, no rofl..but giggle.
Sirscrapalot - No motherboards in my tvs, or OZ's of gold in my computers. :(

the oz of gold is in the soft drive. duh, i thought everyone knew that. it's behind the piece of shred behind the motherboard.
had a guy tell me yesterday that gold was at almost 2000. i wanted to LOL but i thought he probably would shank me since he looked rather shady.
Maybe not an ounce of gold, but there's apparently a pretty good chunk of silver in wheelbarrows:

I'm thinking of sending him this photo:
