Scrap metal haul-away?

I had some landscapping railroad ties I dug up from the entranceway to my basement so I could make a real bulkhead entrance with a block and cement foundation. The dump in Moultonborough wanted 8 cent per pound to take them off my hands. I figured I had about 800 pounds of ties which was going to cost me $64, plus my hard labor and time to get them there. My wife listed them as free items on Craig's list and within 2 hours I had 3 phone calls. Within one day I had 5 e-mails and 4 more phone calls. The day after I listed them, a nice couple came by and picked them up. Case closed.
