The project:
Put a desk chair out on the curb for first comer.
Time:
Minutes
Why bother?
At my husband's urging, I bought a new desk chair yesterday. Rather than try to sell the older one on Craigslist or in a garage sale, I thought I'd set it out for anyone who might need it. I made a sign, wheeled it out in front of our house and returned inside. An hour later as we left on our morning rounds, the chair was gone.
Worth it?
Yes.
I probably could have made a few bucks if I'd sold it. But I like the idea that someone else picked it up. Maybe someone who needed it and could've used the few bucks they saved. I imagine the big smile they had when they wheeled it home. Maybe it's an upgrade from their awful desk chair, or a box, or no chair at all. Or maybe they'll sell it at their own garage sale - extra bucks for them.
