    I found a prosthetic leg a while back and dont know what i should do with it. Many ideas come to mind some probably not appropriate to put on here. I tried craigslist had a scam try to get my info only hit it had. Its probably the most expensive item i've ever found (that i knew the price of). I cant wait to hear some of the great ideas yall have thanks for taking the time. Also have old toledo scale 5kg good condition no luck on craigslist either any suggestions ps how do u add pics i dont know the htpp: of my pics

    Try ebay. A search for ended auctions show they are selling for a decent amount of money.

    My suggestion is to find a non-profit that benefits wounded servicemen. Although they are custom made, I'm sure it could be refitted to someone.

    Makes sense about a kid outgrowing it, mdg. Never thought of that. Back on topic, I agree with donating it. Can't imagine the looks you'd get at the scrap yard. I get strange enough looks just taking in copper...lol.

    Funny you say that my girlfriend told me that she thought that it is a murder weapon, too much CSI..... I am former military luckly got out right before deployment orders were issued. Was kinda thinking that myself would it be wrong to sell it to someone and let them donate it for a tax right off not sure how that all works. If it is on the price of item donated that could be any where from $10,000 to $30,000 WHAT DO YA'LL THINK

    One of my best friends is a disabled vet working with a rehabilitation ranch in San Antonio..... if you are interested in getting a hold of him pm me. He uses a prosthetic and I am sure he could help you out.
