I don't really go dumpster diving these days but I have a few dumpsters right outside my building and when I take out my trash I can't help but peek in. Yesterdays find was a bunch extension cords. I haven't gone through them yet to see if I will use them or scrap them but either way not a bad find.
I have also found a lot of Ebay/ Craigslist stuff in the past (especially around the last week of the month when people start moving out.) I have found tools, vintage toys, shipping supplies (boxes, bubble wrap) dvd collection of over 1000 movies, and I once found an aluminum bike (frame only) that I sold for $250 plus shipping.
I still feel a little weird if any of my neighbors are out there but when I find something valuable those feelings go pooof and all I see is dollars.
