What was the best donation you have ever received? (lemmy.world)

Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

My city has a curb culture too and I love it.

That reminds me, there was /r/curbfind on reddit. Niche, but does anyone want to make a Lemmy community (or kbin magazine)?

lemmy.world/c/curbfind exists my friend, my city has the same culture and love it and hate it. As there is a lot of people in vehicles going around neighborhoods making it hard to get nice items when they always take it first as I walk.

Oh awesome. Thank you. Has anyone made thriftstorehauls yet?

[–] outrageousmatter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There is one, though I wonder if the moderator is inactive but you could check. Forget which lemmy it's on.

Just today I got 4 brand new SLA batteries from the trash-treasure pile behind the recycling dumpster
