Who TF just leaves a printer on the street and just expects someone else to get rid of it for them?!

Hahaha. In Germany many people put their not used anymore items just outside of their houses with signs: "to give away". I've found furnitures, books, washing machine??? :D

I've heard stories about people putting out old appliances and furniture out on the curb with a "free" sign. It sits out there for 4 weeks. Then they put out a sign that says "$20. inquire within" And an hour later it was stolen.

That’s a 5head play, I’m using that next time I have trouble getting rid of something.

CR user here. One time we were taking some items out of my house in order to have them recycled for parts. I was taking out an old washing machine we had replaced some time ago, needing some major fixes to go back to usability... it had already been taken away by someone in the five minutes it took me to return back to the front of my house with another batch of things, and I couldn't help to chuckle at the speed in which things got recycled in my neighborhood

I mean, if it’s a functional printer and they didn’t want it, that’s an easy way to give it to somebody else to use.
