FREE WAYNE COUNTY HOME - Wild Card Wednesday

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Real Estate RS301772

Greetings, my loyal fans - have you been holding your breath, wondering if I was actually going to post a Wild Card Wednesday post today, on time?  I know I've gotten at least twenty emails from my raving followers, begging for this next edition...

Or...not.  *shrug*  What can I say.  I can dream, can't I?  

I've actually been trying to catch up on replying to comments on my blogs and reciprocating.  Plus today I had to earn my keep as a real estate agent.

Last Thursday, I had to travel down to Pocono Springs Estates in Gouldsboro, PA, to do some real estate things.  Along the way, I was amused to see this sign:

FREE MOBILE HOME FOR REMOVAL

My daughter was turned on to it right away.  She said "Mom, can we get the free mobile home?"

Perhaps she was misunderstanding, and thought that it was like an RV that we could take to Missouri to visit Aunt Pam and Uncle Phil - I don't know.  But she was visibly disappointed when I said "No, honey, we can't take the free mobile home...Daddy will be mad."

Well hey, here it is, free for the taking, what are you waiting for?

Check out my other Wild Card Wednesdays.  If you'd like to BUY a home in Wayne or Pike County, give me a call.  So far, this is the only free one I know about.

Nice, Karen!  Maybe I should pick it up and keep it in my driveway.  I can try selling it on Ebay.  Or I can use that when I do something stupid to get my wife really mad at me.

Karen,

I wonder if they will have any takers. My son tried to give away something recently, no takers. Then he put in on Craig's list and sold it the first day. Go figure...

I think free for removal is an oxymoron. Removal definitely isn't free, especially with the price of diesel fuel! It Sounds like your daughter had dreams of a gigantic playhouse!

Hi Katerina -thanks for stopping by!  I thought it was good for a giggle!

Kevin - Hello! Long time no see!  I think it would make an excellent MAN CAVE!  

Sally - you could have an entire kennel in there!

Ruthmarie - it's right on 507.  I'm sure the owner will be delighted to un-own it!

Lynda - that's what I was thinking, I'll bet they could sell it for $50.  LOL

Lisa - I know, my kids are SO deprived! I'm such a MEAN mommy!

Michael - you may be right; she is still waiting for the play house Daddy was supposed to build...lol

I think they'd be best off ripping off the siding and selling it for scrap aluminum, then dismantling the wooden framework, cutting that up for firewood, and then hauling the rest of the debris to a dump somewhere - but that would require THEM doing it. LOL.  

Thank you all for the comments!  :o)

This could be an excellent lesson in perceived value.  Putting it on Craigslist gives the illusion that there are people interested in purchasing it.  Offering it for free suggests that it's not worth anything to anyone.

Karen - I like your suggestions for breaking it down for scrap.  Maybe they have a relative that would do the work and get paid after they sold the scraps.  You should call them and share your suggestions.  Who knows?  Maybe they want to sell the land underneath it too.  Maybe they own a bunch of these lots.  You could offer to put it on Craigslist for them.  There's opportunity everywhere.

Bill - I agree, I would have loved something like that for a play house!

Kevin - that's a good idea, though I do think that they purchased the land already and built their nice home on it (at least, I suspect the nice house that is not so far away belongs to the owner of the trailer) but I should give them a call and suggest the Craigs List / sell for scrap angle.

Karen~ I've seen lots of things on the side of the road for free, but never a mobile home!  My kids would want it for a fort or playhouse.
