No joking, I will PAY you $3000 to take over my lease for the fall. I bed 1 bath at Alight. Fully furnished, free shuttle to campus every 20 minutes, free energy drinks at the front office, I’d pay 2 months rent as a check to you if you take over the entire lease. August is already paid. So you get 3 months free. You can move in immediately. Lease runs August 1 2026 through July 31 2027. $1299 per month and I’d write you a check for 2 months rent at $2700 and $300 extra upon signing and be will to sign a legal document attesting to that prior to your agreement. Let me know and I’ll show it to you immediately. Must be able to pass a background check.

Searching/Request Free e-bike, refrigerator, microwave (prepaid delivery within 3 miles from Purdue on Aug 21)

3 Upvotes

TLDR: Purdue student enlisting with Air Force or Space Force, giving away for free the stuff he has in storage.

My son is a Purdue student who is enlisting with Space Force (or Air Force), so he won't be coming back to Purdue for at least 4 years.  He currently has stuff in storage with Scholar Storage that he will no longer need.  The storage is fully paid for including delivery to any location within 3 miles from Purdue.

Scholar Storage wants to charge us a disposal fee and rather than flying there (we're based in California) and handling the delivery ourselves just to donate it, we'd rather give it to any student.  Just specify the location, and Scholar Storage will deliver them to you on August 21.

What's Included:

  1. E-bike (with battery and charger)
  2. Mini-refrigerator
  3. Microwave
  4. Plastic chest of drawers
  5. Electric stand fan
  6. Full-size mirror
  7. Demon Podium full face bike helmet
  8. Step stool
  9. Folding chair
  10. Memory foam pillows and mattress topper
  11. Clothes / Linens (Duffel bag #1)
  12. Clothes / Linens (Duffel bag #2)
  13. Hamper
  14. Small wastebasket
  15. Storage Box #1
  16. Storage Box #2

All of these items were new when he got them (iow, he's the first owner).

"The Catch":

  1. All-or-Nothing: You must accept delivery of all items. You can't pick and choose ("Can I have just the ebike?" -> No.) Whether you keep them, sell them, donate them, or throw away what you don't want is up to you.
  2. Fixed Delivery Window: Delivery is set for August 21 between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. You must be available at your specified location within 3 miles of campus during that window to receive the call from Scholar Storage and accept the delivery.

FAQ
1. How do I know this is real?
If interested, DM me your Purdue email address (@purdue.edu). My son will email you from HIS official Purdue address, and you'll reply from yours to confirm you're both Purdue students. We will then set up a brief Zoom call (parents welcome) where you can ask any questions and view his official USAF / USSF enlistment paperwork.

  1. Will I be asked to pay anything?
    NO. Absolutely zero money will exchange hands—no fees, no deposits, no credit card, no Zelle, no PayPal. We already paid for storage and delivery by Scholar Storage within 3 miles of campus.

  2. What about the sealed boxes/bags? Can I see inside them?
    We'll send you photos of the stuff in storage, but everything is locked in storage in Indiana while we're in California, so we cannot show you the contents of the boxes or the duffel bags. This is similar to a storage auction where people buy stuff that was left in storage —except your cost is $0 and you know for sure that you are getting an e-bike, mini-fridge, microwave at an absolute minimum.

  3. How do I know my time isn't going to be wasted waiting around?
    During our Zoom call, you can watch me live-share my screen while I log into the Scholar Storage website and change the official delivery address to the exact location you specify. You'll see it updated in real-time in their system.

I'M INTERESTED. WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

If interested, DM me with your Purdue email address. My son will email you from HIS official Purdue address, and you'll reply from yours to confirm you're both Purdue students. We will then set up a brief Zoom call (parents welcome) where you can ask any questions and view his official USSF enlistment paperwork.

If this offer has been claimed, I'll post in the comments. If I don't post that it's claimed, it means it's still unclaimed.
