Ok Im a total nub when it comes to this scrapping and picking business, but from reading here theres tons you old pros to help me out. Ok so I went to a couple estate sales and garage sales and bought some stuff today, I will link the picks. First off I bought a old REALLY heavy sewing machine that works but the guy said it runs a little funny and might need some new parts. I figure I could learn sewing machine repair and fix it myself or maybe its worth more than 5 bucks scrap.
I also bought a silver plated small dish butter holder thing. Not sure what the actual purpose is. Anyway this lady was selling for 6 bucks and then said 3 dollars so I thought why the hell not. Maybe a good deal?
I have a working computer monitor thats old and square. Trying to get 15 on craigslist and im guessing the scrap value is maybe 5 bucks.
Lastly at a garage sale there was a honda gx340 engine airblower thing. I asked how much he said 20 but it wasnt working, he wasnt sure why and thought maybe some parts were missing. I think I should of hopped on it but he said if I still wanted it to shoot him an email. I looked online and **** some are valued as much as $300 but I dont know what it takes to fix it. Is that motor worth more in scrap? Any help thanks guys. The guy also had about 25 feet in cord with 3 wrapped copper inside and wanted 5 bucks. I think I should have hopped on that to?
Oh one more thing, I scrapped my first item EVER, a old phone last night. I got a little copper and a board. Im on my way gentlemen.
