    thrift store pick up

    Yesderday I went to the thrift store that I pick up electronics from and this is what I got. 1 dvd player 2 vcr's 2 slide projectors and about 12 printers 2 scanners. This was the free stuff. Then I went to see what he had on sale and found the following. 3 computer towers, 12 key boards and a box full of computer boards, modems telepone. When I asked the guy what he wanted for all of it he said 10.00. Of course I said yes.

    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.
