    Mini fridges and outdoor table sets are a whole different ballgame than CRT televisions. I would go to CL, click on the FREE heading, search TV, search television, see what your competition is. If you don't see a lot of freebies, it might be worthwhile to list a couple. Over here in NJ there are about six bajillion free tvs on CL. I scrap about two a week I find on curbs, could pick up six or eight with little effort. Some of them work beautifully, but demand on this side of the Hudson is zero.

    I think you need to read the OP a little closer. HE was using tv and fridges as examples not the reason for the post.

    craigslist has not impressed me. most of the time its, dogs,cats,kittens,puppies, trees or scrap construction wood someone is trying to get hauled off,so they dont have to.or old couches and chairs which will be on the curb.
