I found out yesterday from the CL ad that a small town about 6+ miles from where I work was having a spring "clean out day" so I cut out a bit early from work and went over there. Don't know how much it had been picked over (did see at least one other scrapper) but if I would have had a truck & trailer, I could have come home with at least 10 washers & dryers and 10+ big tvs, among other stuff.
Here's what ended up in the Buick:
2 computers (appear complete)
1 flat screen tv
1 small tv
1 older tv, possibly front for "steam punk" ebay but maybe not old enough
1 older rug shampoo-er
2 smaller 12-volt vehicle batteries
1 de-humidifier.
Still had some room in the car but probably enough to keep me going for a while breaking down. MOst of the town people were at school track meet so not a bunch of people watching (at least that I could see) me in my business casual pulling stuff out of the piles.
ALmost nothing from the 50+ house new section of town except of a couple of giant tvs. All of what I got was from the older part of the burg. One guy had a nice pile that he could have easily taken into the yard by itself: washer & dryer set, 2 dishwashers, assorted couple of mufflers and other auto metal, 4 big tvs (this is where I got the 2 puters and the flat screen from). But I suppose he doesn't think its worth his time...
