Not new condition as in mint in box, but new as in still has plenty of useful life and functions just fine. The old CRT TVs are things that worked very well and tended to last for long times, much like the old model 500 phones. Granted you will find some that have been abused, dropped, had liquids spilled on them, etc but even if you get a dud you could always bring it back for recycling.
I have found that the county recycling center is a great mostly one stop shop for freecycling (another stupid term I hate but is useful). Granted things that aren't household chemicals, solvents, and paints, are shipped out weekly so there is a lot of turnover but it is a great place to get stuff. In addition to the above mentioned chain saw case I have gotten a few extra chainsaw bars and chains, a compressor that only had a bad starter cap that needed replacing, lots of unopened solvents, a couple of unopened gallons of the deck stain I use, paint primer, lots of wood finishes, many unopened quarts of motor oil, and even an unopened case of synthetic motor oil. The recycling center is entirely government operated and owned (unlike the one in my father's county) so if something is useful to you they will let you take it instead of not letting people take the profitable things.
