At a garage sale once, I had a plastic milk crate that was filled with barely used containers of brake fluid/synthetic oil/tranny fluid/Etc. (well over $100 worth)...to save a trip to the hazmat recycling station.

I put a $5 tag on it...and it set all day.

The minute I wrote "free"...a guy quickly grabs it.

His question was..."does the plastic crate come with it?"

That same mentality seems to apply to the free golf on Christmas.

I too, have seen courses the day after Christmas whereby the standard courtesies of taking care of the course...were worse than usual.
