Now, everyone, cross your fingers and let's hope I get called first. Just sat down after work and took a look at the free section, sent reply 14 minutes after posting, Merry Christmas for someone! Hope it's me!
Seasoned and probably split too.
FREE Oak Firewood (Fair Oaks)

My husband passed away and I have 4 cords of seasoned oak for someone to pick it up for free.

It's all yours, just come and take it. I won't leave my number over a craigslist ad... so you must leave you phone number and I will call you up. I'm looking for someone with a trailer, that can take it all fast.
I'm not interested in someone with a small truck....takes too many trips...
thanks craigslist

A, hope it was U
 
I didn't get it, yet. My last big score was 2-1/2 cords of walnut rounds, and they didn't get back to me for over a week. I posted a fake ad for free oak a while back to test the competition for scrounging. I got very few responses. I had a pile of cut up pallets I wanted to give away to make room for cord wood, and got a lot of response.

Never heard of a 'fake ad' to 'test the waters', but that is a different approach! Not a bad idea, to find out the odds of an easy scrounge going your way!

Fake add is "Mean". If I lived close by I would of been so excited....Then "plop" so disappointed.!!!
