Well there's this one guy who offered me his chocolate fountain, he said he wasn't just giving it away but I could borrow it.. But fuck it I'm keeping it. I even left the packaging on his doorstep to let him know I don't plan to bring it back.

^ NOT COOL at all. Seriously... Don't be a scumbag, return whatever he said you could borrow when you're done using it dude... the people I come across on these forums sometimes. 
I haven't gotten anything off craigslist for free but I once bought a lawsuit era ibanez "les paul" for $180 then sold it a few months later for $550.

wow nice return! that can be an even better feeling, finding something of value for cheap then flipping it for twice what you paid. my dad is a master of the art, something i am much less practiced at.

Oh, Shroomslip is joking? If so-I apologize.
& yes it feels good making that easy cash. I also have done it with a few other guitars & pedals. Another guitar I flipped was a lower end model Gibson SG, I bought for $400 and sold for around like $775 or so. So there definitely is money to be made on craigslist. Just have to frequently check the listings.

Some fatty probably already broke it . I can't imagine a working trampoline at that price.

They all look in reasonable condition for the most part, a couple minuscule holes here and there on some but that's about it
I had a trampoline once that one of my neighbors was throwing out for no good reason at all, I just saw it on the bottom of his driveway and took it home and it was perfectly good

Be careful with holes in the jump pad. They have to endure incredible force and they may be pretty strong overall, those holes start ripping open pretty easily. I nearly broke my tail bone on mine. It just had a small hole and one day it gave way, ripped open and I went straight through it and landed on my ass.

Did you even ask if he was throwing it away? He was probably planning to jump on it later. You hella stole his trampoline.

A couch. A lot of people offer up free couches and beds and shit from CL. You just really have to inspect them to make sure there's not nasty shit like blood or cat piss or bed bugs in it.
One time I picked up a free mattress and I sat it outside the gate of my old house in Long Beach so that the homeless people who were always digging through the garbage would have a soft place to sleep at night.

i once got some free scrap metal, that turned out to be a trade whereby i cleared the metal off the property, and could keep it. i got about $6000 for the scrap, plus a working ford ranger with a brand new f150 motor in it that needed the exhaust system installed. Also a big diesel generator that fired right up. I even picked up a basin wrench that i still use to this day. definitely the best free find from CL

I've seen some good things on that free section but half the time it's miles away and probably not worth the hassle.
I did however have my friend's neighbor throw out a craftsman toolbox for bulk garbage on the side of the road and the thing was sparkly and all that was wrong was a dent on the top. I told him someone would probably buy this for 50$. I looked it up and it was a 300$ toolbox. We wound up getting 40$ for it and it sold fast.
Most of the free shit I see is rocks, dirt, junk projection TV's, and broken hot tubs. I would think that if you started some dirt/rock company you could get a shit ton of free material from CL alone.
