We’ve all been to garage sales (or yard sales or tag sales, depending on where you might live in the country), and surely we’ve all visited a pawn shop or a thrift store or had something handed down in our family through the years. They’re a cheap way to find something we need that’s new-to-us, and they’re also ways for us to rid ourselves of things we no longer need.

People in NYC have taken this concept to the streets with a practice called “stooping,” where they simply set things out on their stoop with a sign saying it’s free to take – and these 13 pictures of things people are stooping might have you hankering to take a walk through the streets.

Or, they might have you wondering why anyone would want something like that.

That’s the beauty of people, and of stooping, right?

13. I would want some arms to snuggle into.

It’s super cute, though.

12. Four matching chairs.

In great shape, too. I bet they didn’t last long!

11. Just needs some strings.

And someone to love it.

10. That is one gorgeous coat rack.

It even has the umbrella bin at the bottom, too!

9. This is adorable.

I’m not a bird person but still.

8. I would have snagged this for my kids.

Who doesn’t love Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots?

7. Simple and clean.

That’s what you need in a small NYC apartment.

6. Not family friendly.

Peep that middle one. Lol.

5. That’s a statement piece right there.

A nice shiny one.

4. I bet there was a fight over these.

They are gorgeous!

3. It looks like something off the Friends set.

That probably makes it pretty old. Ha!

2. If you’re into vintage…

Don’t forget to cover it with plastic.

1. How modern.

This honestly looks nearly new.

You should never trash something without giving someone else the chance at it first, because you just never know!

There are many reasons that a person might be ready to get rid of something super cool from their home – maybe they got something new, maybe they’re getting divorced, maybe they’re moving and can’t fit it in, maybe they’re downsizing – and since forever, people have been donating old items or selling them in garage sales to pass them along to someone else.

Now, people in NYC are setting unwanted items out on their curbs for free, and others are going around town “stooping” for great finds.

Here are 10 pictures shared by @stoopingnyc that are surely already getting lots of love in their new homes.

10. That’s one cool vase.

I bet it didn’t last long on the street.

9. In case you want to learn a new skill.

You don’t see many of these around these days!

8. It’s unique, that’s for sure.

And you could paint it, but why would you want to?

7. There’s a sign on it that reads “dangerous, do not use.”

That just makes me more curious, tbh.

6. You could resale this for a pretty penny.

Just channel Joanna Gaines.

5. This would look really nice in a nook by the window.

That color will pop in the sun.

4. An eclectic mix of treasures.

You could pick and choose, or ask Jesus for advice.

3. That’s a nice looking chair.

For someone who doesn’t have kids or pets (or a clumsy spouse).

2. This thing has a story to tell.

I’m not sure what it is, but it definitely has one. Or more.

1. Looking for some statement pieces?

NYC has you covered.

I just love unexpected finds like these – it just turns your whole day around.

Tell us down in the comments about the best thing you’ve ever picked up secondhand. We’re dying to hear about it!
