    Funny... I just found a W132W JennAir yesterday as I was headed to the grocery store. I pulled 2# of 6063 trim off of it, about 1/4# LGC, and about 1/4# BBcopper (once I strip it). Just now I listed the light bulb cover and the racks for way MTS... even though the post office will make way more off the sale than I will, it's still a bit more than the $5 that it would fetch throwing everything into the shred pile.

    Best case...

    ~50# shred= 3.50
    2# 6063=$1
    1/4# BBcopper= .60
    1/4# LGC wire= .15
    Light cover. Listed for $25, after paypal takes $1, my donation charity takes $2.50, and Ebay takes $2.25, and USPS takes $7.95, I'll pocket about $12.
    Racks, listed for $50. I might clear 20 if they sell for that.

    Still, that find quite likely paid the $35 I spent at the grocery store last night.

    Can't beat that with a hick'ry axe hannle!!!!!!!!!!


    Edit... and I betcha someone reading this is shaking their head wondering why I left money on the table not re-selling ??????????



    Post up & tell me what I missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
