Freecycle happily rid us of our 50-year-old basement fridge last night. It's odd to have appliances older than you, isn't it?
But I've decided to spend the day dejunking and getting stuff ready for our basement remodeling. Maybe I'll find more stuff to list on ebay since that basement has its fair share of buried junk and perhaps some treasure!
Deciding to declutter

I don't think we hardly ever owned appliances younger than us, until the last couple of years.

As for appliances, mine last for years and years. I bought a Maytag washer that I had for over 25 years. I had a whirlpool side by side refrigerator that was about 22 or 23 years old and it was still running when I got rid of it. Bought a different model.
What I can't get over is how much all of the stainless steel kitchen appliances costs. It's a ripoff. I'm staying with my white stuff until it is no longer needed.

I bet your fridge was a General Electric.
We also are decluttering. Yesterday evening my spouse and I selected dozens of dusty books, neglected CDs and DVDs we never knew we had to donate to a book sale benefiting a local women's shelter. The decluttering stemmed from our bathroom renovation currently in progress.

Freecycle continually amazes me with what people want and don't want. I suspect the knotty pine home made cabinets (to call them handcrafted would be a stretch) that surrounded the fridge are going to go next. I had people pleading for old paneling!
