So I can no longer find the post, and I don't remember who authored it, but the title was something like "I can't believe I'm the first one to think of this." Anyway the general gist was that the person was sending solicitations to people running garage sales that he would buy tv's, kitchen sinks, etc. if they were left over after a sale.



I am considering doing the same thing, but am wondering if the payoff is worthwhile?

I mean, what can you really offer for a tv, if there's only a couple of bucks of scrap in it? Ditto the other items on his list? I can't imagine I would get very excited about having someone come to my house after my sale to give me a dollar for my television.

Thoughts?
