    Fitness is dead

    The fitness craze must be dying. Picked up an excersize bike, a bowflex and and olympic weight set and bench just this morning within a couple of blocks. Had a great pick yesterday. Picked up a flat screen computer monitor that was almost new. Put it on Craigslist last night and sold it last night for $75. :-) Found treasure.

    Interesting. I guess people get rid of excersize equipment before winter...weird timing.

    Nice find on the flatscreen! It's always nice finding something and getting way more than scrap value for it.

    Great finds. Are you going to sell them, too? I've been selling stuff I get on Craig's List right along. I've got several people that have asked me to watch out for specific stuff. One guy will buy every bicycle I get, regardless of condition.

    I've gotten several pieces of exercise equipment this year, too. Got a real nice LifeStyler Cardio that we kept.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    The excercise equipment was scrapped. I couldn't believe it I went to the scrap yard 3 times yesterday and filled the truck 4 times. They were closed by the time I filled it the fourth. It was a great day yesterday. Made over $200 just in iron. Haven't even taken in the other stuff yet. The guy at the scrap yard saw me yesterday evening and said "Are you back again??!! How many times have you been here today?" The owner gave me and my partner Scrapping T-shirts. Got a clean out job this weekend from an older gentleman who is moving in a week. Bought a decent, well running Ford explorer for $400 and picked up Two old very High quality, collectable movie cameras and brand new TIVO still in the box. Those are going up on craigs list as well as the explorer. If we can't sell the explorer then we are going to use it for a scrapping truck.
