I was hoping for some free stuff as well 
Here's my contribution...
A friend of my father's was selling his tractor, it was a JD 2xxx series, not sure what model but he wanted 10,500 for it (which I now realize was a great deal anyways and SHOULD have bought it myself). He was selling it with a nice 16' aluminum trailer. We told him we wanted to buy the trailer and he said "well, I want 10,500 in my pocket, so whatever you sell the tractor for, make up the difference and the trailer is yours"
We sold the tractor for 10,500 and he let us keep the trailer :thumbsup:

The wife and I were just going over the menu for Thanksgiving. To feed 8 people, the only thing we have to buy at the store is the turkey.

My inlaws just gave us their older but still good condition golf cart. Turn out my FIL put a small dent in the front and that won't do. You just can't drive to the club with a dent.
So they bought another and gave the other one to me.

Latest was 125 gallons of red diesel, with 275 gallon tank. Lots of woodworking books off from "free cycle", and hopefully a dog to keep ours company.

Although I could debate the "free" comment... Kudos to you and anybody else who put your life on the line for this country.

I was given a wheel horse c-85 in exchange for hauling some scrap steel for a guy. He said I could have the tractor and we would split the rest of the money. Ended up only being 900 lbs and $63 so I just gave it all to him. So technically not free, but close enough. It doesn't run, and he doesn't know what it wrong with it and I haven't had much time to mess with it.

I've found lots of good free stuff, couple of lawn mowers that needed a bit of fixing, chainsaw that's exactly the same as the one I use for trimming, some beat up shelving that's perfectly fine under the shop roof extension, ratty file cabinet for the shop (2 cases of oil fit in a drawer).

A '73 Dodge Dart. Had to get it running but I used it for a year and sold it for $500. Also, 1000 lbs of aluminum chips. Got a few hundred for that.

A neighbor lady was moving and had a garage sale. She said she was selling everything. I asked her if she would give me a table she had in her garage. She told me to take it. It was a 2' x 8' with corner legs and the top was 2x10s with 2x10 skirting. It had a medium sized vise on one end so I backed up the little trailer and put it on. The original owner made it for a tornado shelter so it is heavyyy duty.
