    This store has some pretty high 'velocity' requirements. Stuff's gotta move or they toss it.


    Had another good haul today. Kinda weird stuff for what I usually get, but good nonetheless.

    First up, playing a little catchup on not getting any TVs yet this week. One junk vac, and one Kirby that jgholino will be getting a PM about... wonder if it's even feasible to ship a vac from DFW to KC?



    Next, and here's some of the wierdness I was talking about... plumbing & door hardware. Never got that kinda stuff from them before, BUT I LIKE IT! Almost all off the plumbing stuff is solid brass... almost all of the door stuff is not. Brass on the tailgate, zinc/steel in the bed. EDIT: those hair masher thingies, to the right of the brass, left of the alarm clock,,, sometimes the part that (I presume) actually contacts your hair is extruded aluminum. Tossed a bunch of those before I realized that.





    A closer gander:



    More door stuff (again brass on the tailgate), a radio, a printer, and an empty router box. ?




    Can't complain about 10-15 pounds more brass in the bucket!!
