You can't give it away...

I one time read this story (can't remember if it was email or Reader's Digest) where a guy puts some furniture out on the curb with a sign that says "free" on it. No one takes the furniture. Then he put a sign that says "$10" on it and it disappears.

That is how I feel right now about the old washer and dryer that the people selling the house left for us.
We decided to keep our own washer and dryer since ours were slightly newer. They only problem with the older set was that the dryer was missing the clip to keep the door closed so you had to put something in front of the door to keep the door closed.
Now, there was one of those charity groups doing a pick-up of items in our area way back in the second week of January. It was a busy evening the day before so it was like 10:00 when Jim started pulling the old washer and dryer out to get them on the front porch for the people to pick-up the next day. The issue became complicated because the water wouldn't shut off completely (either at the washer or the main valve to the house...gotta love an old house and yes we got that fixed). So after all this work and cleaning up the washer, dryer, and two bags of clothing were out on the front porch to be picked up.

Low and behold I came home the next day only to find the clothes bags gone and the washer and dryer still on the porch. So I called the place that was doing the pick-up...oh, they were only picking up small items and they don't pick up appliances.
I spend the afternoon calling at least 6 other donation places. No one will pick up appliances. IF they do pick-ups, it is not for appliances but we could drop them off.

So Jim and I decide that the next weekend we will take the washer and dryer to the Salvation Army (which is not far) and we will be done with it. Then, the next day my baby-sitter informs us that one of the workmen who came to fix something at the house was interested in the washer and dryer. So Jim calls him, strikes a deal, and I am assuming that the washer and dryer will be gone shortly.
Fast forward a month later.
The washer and dryer are still on our porch.
The guy has been busy, not had a truck, etc. and has not picked up the washer and dryer but is still interested.
I have had no less than 6 other people inquire (some of them multiple times) about the washer and dryer with one of them being someone who was helping out across the street this last weekend and the latest person being one of the garbage men this morning.
I keep saying that I have a guy coming to get them...but I am about ready to start seeing who my highest bidder is.
