Stuff crafters will buy / Etsy Thread

[jord0690]

Awesome thread! Iv heard of people buying those spiral turnings from metal lathes. Saw an ebay auction once, cant remember how much it went for though. Also seen people buy the reaaallly thin copper wire from relays, etc. Looks like hair. Also wonder if people would buy stuff like resistors, capacitors, etc for more than scrap price? Never know. Im not very crafty so not too sure what people want!



Edit: just checked out Etsy. Really cool site. Some great stuff on there. I Might try selling stuff. Theres listings for literally everything... from those little jewels that hang off lamp shades to blank reclamed wood tiles. Simple stuff to get and it sells!

YES!!!!!!! It does!

Thankyou for that. I have been saying, and saving up for, E Scrap Art.
Someone I talked to told me his girlfriend, who was in England had told him about it. It was "the new best thing since Steam Punk".

Since then I have been saving the screws with the springs that hold some CPU heatsinks on.
And any optical chips at all, mice optical, Video camera optical (sooo beautiful, purple ceramic and Gold wires and legs with prismatic silicon chip.... oooh, Ahhhh) Scanner optical.
The flat 'standing wave delay circuits'. They are in CRT TVs. A chicklet sized metal box thats sometimes Gold plated underside. Inside is a small sheet of glass with 'circuity shaped, maybe crop circle shaped' designs on it. With Gold or Silver wires.

Since I know what to look for, but have a zero % artistic talent... Those pictures mean a lot to me. Thankyou very mucho./e
