    -room size dehumidifier
    -2 vacuums (someone cut the cords but wasn't thinking of the motor!)
    -original xbox game console (no wires or anything though)
    -about 400 lbs of steel (chopped up swing/playset, a 8'x1-1/2" galvanized pipe, 2 bikes, segment of chainlink fence, car wheel rims, heavy ass rusted 100lb piece of something and a bunch of random pieces)
    -pyramid 207 - 7 band equalizer/amplifier from the 70s, i guess for a very specific car... beat up box has a pic of a camero and $119 pricetag, can't find any info on this online
