Well knock me over with a feather!

Okay, mle292, I admit I was skeptical when you told me that I would get responses to a Freecycle listing for "Box of charger cables and other misc. electronics - MUST TAKE ALL." I expected a little better for the 12-year-old Motorola phone, esp. once I had the bright idea of listing it as an "Emergency car phone."

Danged if my inbox isn't filling up with responses! So far most of the phone people were looking for a T-Mobile phone (which this is not), but I have one response that didn't express a preference so she may take it. The amazing thing is that I have THREE responses to the box of old cables! THREE. The first one wants to know exactly what's in it, which is a nuisance. I have answered two questions, and that's my limit - if she doesn't come and get the dang box I'm moving on to the next respondent.

Do you think I'd have equal luck with a posting that says, "Box of absolutely worthless junk?" I'm almost tempted to try. Because what could be more worthless than a box of unidentified old phone charger cables?

Actually, it still remains to be seen whether it REALLY works. So far I still have all the stuff. Now I'm trying to sort through the surprisingly enthusiastic response and arrange a time for the first respondent on each to get the stuff. I'm kind of expecting that people don't always show up when they say they will. My goal is to get rid of my first offerings tonight and then put up a couple more.
