    They are hard to find around here, most of them already have someone to pick up there scrap. Went tuesday to the same thrift store and picked up a whole pick-up full of stuff. (stayin busy)

    I pick up from two thrift stores every friday and usually get a load of electronics. The managers couldnt believe I wanted their "crappy stuff" and jumped at the chance to unload it on me instead of paying at the landfill. When I pick up there is a older guy that always says "sorry nothing good for you today" as he puts boxes of wire, towers, cell phones etc on the trailer. I almost feel bad for the guy. He sees junk and I see $$$$. One also gives me items they have on shelf for a few weeks and cant sell or got and think it wont sell. Anything from furniture to knick knacks to collectables. Good stuff they just have priced to high or the wrong customer base. Wish we had more thrift stores in my town, I love them.
