    15 cent flat screen! It's a nice LG too!
    I've found some really nice things too, I'm amazed at what people toss out rather than take a little time to sell or donate somewhere.

    BTW John..nice! I didn't figure you the type to go curb shopping, do you dumpster dive too?

    You can make a living doing that.

    But I don't.

    Now, I have made some money picking up stuff that had no business being on the curb.

    > dumpster diving? No. BUT back in the day, I would recon some dumpsters for sales leads, hit competitors trash...client list ...jackpot!

    There are some things I would probably never buy. Vacuum cleaners, patio furniture, speakers... just go pickin... that stuff is all free. If you're a little handy and not in a great hurry for your stuff you could probably just pick everything. Furniture, etc, the cool thing is when you get tired of something, just throw it away...again!



    Most of the stuff that gets tossed out just needs minor repair/maintenance. I don't think too many people have tools or know how to use them anymore, they just toss stuff and buy a new one.
