My experience on Craigslist free (or near free) stuff ...

I heard second hand about a garbage collector that died and they found his entire garage packed to the roof with "free stuff". I can see it happening.

I believe that. I am sure there are hoarders frequenting Craigslist's free stuff section. As for me, I make sure I shed more stuff than I bring in. Slowly but surely, I am downsizing.
