Free Pile.
I see 'em in all kinds of neighborhoods. People don't want to bother with a yard sale, so they put a bunch of crap on the curb with a "free" sign. Clothes, furniture, small appliances.
Amazingly most piles are gone within a couple of days.
Sign of the times? Have I just not noticed before? Residual effect of the craigslist "free" listing?
