microwaves and vacuums, also find alot of small appliances like toasters, can openers and so on, get a tv from time to time
id you see a dyson vaccum they are worth a decent amount in parts or sell as non working on ebay, they are also easy to repair and resell if you have the time to tinker with them and money to buy parts
Vaccuums and tvs. last night as i was driving around the selection stunk, i thought to myself(like always). How much good stuff is in the dumpsters that we dont see.
I would agree, Vacuumes and tv's are everyware. I once got 7 vacuumes in one day driving around town but anyways, The one thing i find at least one a week is rolling office chairs. Alot of mop / broom handles, along with curtin rails out there too.
The "Holy Trinity" of curbshopping: vacuums, tvs, and microwaves. In that order, usually.
I'm starting to think that Swifter/mop/broom handles are edging out the microwaves, though. What they lack in weight, they make up in sheer quantity.
yea here its very simple with tv's the garbage men takes then no prob i just go out an help then an they might find a 10$ bill every few weeks i wish i found microwaves here i mostly now just clip the cord since all the transformers i usualy get are alum, an of course i take the microwaves too, my favortie is to find an eviction i just take all the boxes an sort threw them im only 18 an i rent my own space for scrapping an "fee" ebaying
Hm. I seem to get a lot of lamps.

I actually have one ( well my wife does) she loves that movie, so we got her a 2 ft copy of that lamp for Christmas a couple of years ago. It is in the front window just as in the movie :) now if I could just get her to put a red bulb....... never mind.Quote:
