Tonight, I gave all my Dad's stash of wood scraps and lumber odds & ends to a K-12 art teacher from a local school.
I had an ad on Facebook Marketplace asking $1 for the wood.
The buyer said that he would come at 430pm, so after I sat in the garage for 30 minutes, I was wondering if he was blowing me off. I sent a message through Facebook Marketplace asking if he was still interested. His wife asked if 7 pm could work. I said okay.
In the meantime, I made up a Facebook Marketplace ad for the Dremel Scroll Saw that was sitting on my workbench. I posted that advertisement.
At 7pm he pulled in with his Mom. His wife was home with two littles (& a 3rd on the way). He got right to work taking the wood down from the rafters.
He was so happy and I was even happier! I asked him if he wanted the scroll saw. He jumped on it. He was so delighted to get the Dremel Scroll Saw.
Then I loaded up 2 ice cream buckets with boxes of screws and nails.
He left a very happy fella, and I was even happier.
I deleted that ad for the scroll saw.
Job well done Facebook Marketplace!
