I found this just five days ago in front of my door. Tossed on top of the bulk trash pile half upside down looking like trash as well. Totally intact and almost new at closer look.
And a cute cat's doormat hidden inside.
I looked it up and found it's available new at lowest retail price €31,99. I listed it €10 set no bidding no bargaining and got it. Very nice lady came today and I had to hear the whole story about the old cat, how after his passing away they cleaned up the tray but then the top cracked, and now, long after they have two new kittens. And using the roofless tray make a lot of mess of course.
I just love it when buyers don't just pay and walk off and I take all my time to listen.
Mind you, yesterday I had to go to a supermarket just outside my neighbourhood to get what was out of stock in mine. And on the way back I saw the exact same litter tray parked by a sidewalk... Unfortunately, with my bike loaded already no way to take it home and even then. But made me think: maybe another cat owner who found out that a huge tray is nice for the cat but takes too much place in a city apartment?
My customer came from outside of town by car, half an hour ride, so I take it she lives in a house that has enough place.
I see loads of litter boxes in the trash all around but normally I never take them. They are clumsy things to bring home. But it always makes me wonder why they were trashed. My own is a 35 year old non fancy model that generations of cats have used and my current one is happy enough with.
