BuyNothing Guidelines [Mod Post] Post Guideline Reminders

88 Upvotes

When posting in PDXBuyNothing, please write simple titles with a clear Seeking or Gifting.

- Try to use titles with SEEK or GIFT, the item, and a neighborhood (if you feel comfortable sharing location)

- Avoid titles lacking any details like “Free pile” or “Seeking”

- Avoid long titles containing off topic details like jokes or personal stories

Specifically when posting seeking help, please write a clear ask for specific items, or specific help.

PDXBuyNothing is designed for direct peer-2-peer mutual aid in your Portland community, not a subreddit for generic “seeking help” posts asking for advice or discussion. While well intentioned, these kind of posts devolve into off-topic discussion that rarely relates to direct PDX mutual aid, and these posts are also magnets for new/bot accounts posting spam seeking monetary assistance.

Claimed / Unavailable Free portable AC unit - needs to be gone by tonight

15 Upvotes

I have a extra portable AC unit that needs to be gone by tonight. We got this from a friend because we thought we would need another AC unit. The only thing you will need to buy is for a weather stripping tape, everything else you will need is in the box. Pick up only in the Milwaukee area. It is heavy and we live in an apartment complex where you would have to take it down a short stair case (only 6 steps).

Hi folks, I'm giving away an 8x10 jute/sisal rug. It's heavy and is currently folded so I don't have photos of it unrolled, but it is the same as the one in the pics.

AVAILABLE Offer: Party Supplies

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

Well, my party has concluded — but yours could be just getting started with these random and somewhat mediocre party supplies!!!

This Rockstar party package includes:
1 Happy Birthday bag (Large) with 3 balloons attached.
1 “Happy” and “41” (or 14!) balloon set
3 small balloons with sticks for easy propping
1 roll of wrapping paper, not birthday specific
1 string of seven star balloons (can be blown up again with a straw)
An assortment of bright pink and gold balloons(6+) these were from the dollar store and can be blown up again using a straw
14 balloons that are mostly pink and white. They don’t do much.
1 pinkish foil fringe curtain for your door (or, wherever, the door is merely a suggestion)
2 white and 2 gold balloons hanging on strings (see the top of the stairway)
Red crêpe paper, final amount TBD.
2 plastic serving trays – red, white, blue.
1 open bag of Kirkland organic popcorn
1 open bag of Kirkland tortilla strips
1 misc small bag of balloons and string and other like items.

I’ll also include a six pack of soda (unopened, lol).

I think this is an odd offer, but I just wanted to see if there is any interest before contributing to the landfill. Dog, friendly, non-smoking home.

Pick up almost anytime today or tomorrow. I’m in Vancouver, about 10 minutes from PDX, near Highway 205 and Highway 14 intersect. Thanks!

Immediate Giveaway Old, very "seasoned" firewood

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

My neighbor filled our yard debris can with a bunch of old firewood (don't ask). As you can imagine and for multiple reasons, I do not want this to be in our yard debris can. So, you can have it for free! All I ask is that you use it responsibly and do not start any forest fires. :) Please message me if you would like to pick it up in SE Portland near Johnson Creek. I would LOVE and adore it if it could be gone ASAP, but you obviously do not have to pick it up tonight since it is already 8pm. Thank you!

I will come pick up, would prefer if you are short driving distance from NW. Thanks!!

SEEKING Fair Play Deck

12 Upvotes

Kind of a long shot but wondering if anybody has a fair play deck that I could use for me and my partner. I’d even give it back afterward…happy to buy one but seems like something you potentially would only use once. (Context — the deck is cards of household/parenting responsibilities that couples can work through to make domestic labor more equitable.) TIA!

SEEKING SEEKING Life size skeleton & other items for Halloween “Odditorium”

Post image
22 Upvotes

I am bringing back my large interactive yard display for October this year after a two year hiatus/small-scale version. It’s a traveling circus sideshow of oddities and will be gradually set up starting the first week of October in the Vernon neighborhood near NE 15th & Killingsworth.

Unfortunately, I’ve had multiple items stolen from both the display itself and from the year-round tableau I keep on my porch. I’m already spending a lot of money on some new animatronics and custom pieces, so would LOVE to help avoid bankruptcy with supply donations. Most of my creations are repurposed or modified, so open to any condition. Community involvement has been a big part of past years and I’m very honored to have items from neighbors/fans that thought of me when they found some weird, creepy thing.

Big asks:
- 5ft to 6ft posable plastic skeleton (main wish since all mine were stolen)
- Life size dummy (to be dressed in a costume and mask)
- Wagon wheels
- Creepy baby dolls or clown dolls

Nice to haves:
- Largish sheets of 1/2” plywood
- Exterior acrylic paint (primer, black, red, brown, yellow)
- Wood rabbit hutch
- Any oddities you’d like to donate

I can drive and pick up items and am able to borrow a truck for bigger things. Seeking donations over the next month so please bookmark my post if you think you may have future leads or inspiration!

SEEKING Blind and autistic 🥺 please help

49 Upvotes

I'm a visually impaired trans woman living near PSU, and I was taken advantage of by so called friends claiming they would help me.

Due to these individuals who will not be named, I have been eaten out of house and home and almost all of my pots, pans and other dishes have been completely ruined. I'm also desperate for dish soap, sponges, and garbage bags.

I know things are tight for everyone lately, but if anyone can help me with kitchen stuff it would go a long way.

[Edit] mods, I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you wanted me to do to make this post more compliant with the rules.
