Re books

Yeah, selling through Amazon and the other book selling venues is slower but you get a much higher return in the long run. Of course you have to have the space to store the books in the...

Hi Scrapette... I, myself, would definitely try to resurrect these kind of batteries. There's more than a little gloom and doom element to my thinking given what could happen in Europe. I always grab...

There's another way to look at this.

People should be ashamed of how much of the earth's resources they waste. When they put a perfectly usable item in the dumpster that they know will end up in...

I watch MSNBC fairly often. Other things once and a while. Don't watch TV otherwise.

An urn containing someone's ashes. Imagine someone doing that, chucking dad into the trash.

Welcome to the forum Elena. I'm also a fan of your videos. Seems you have a fan club going here :)

Kat and I have had the same experience. Once people get used to you and realize you're doing your best to get ahead they can be very generous. But then, some aren't.

Being careful is always a...

Yeah I'd say it's worth something if you can find the right buyer. Take a couple of pics of it and throw it up on Craigslist under "materiels". You aren't clear about how big it is or how much usable...

I don't know about anyone else but I'm too desperate for money to slack off too much.

I will admit, though, that sometimes it's hard to get myself motivated. Beating oneself with horsehide whips...

And then there's the concept of cooperatives cooperating with each other.

Thanks for the input ChinaRedneck.

I grew up in central Illinois. And believe me, farmers are a very independent lot, like scrappers. I grew up during a time when a farmer's cooperative was being...

I agree with korrosive here, Kris Kringle. I think you're missing the point of the thread.

korrosive, jeez, Feynman doesn't carry much weight here. Obviously you've read a book or two between bouts...

I'm very impressed with your thinking korrosive. But we're all speaking in theoretical terms within the boundaries of our own experience. Only when your ideas are tried in the real world will we have...

Here's mine. Set up in my back yard. Constructed entirely out of materials I liberated from dumpsters.

Welcome to the forum, Tami. There's a lot to learn here.

I've never tried to sell them. I assumed that the batteries were shot and would need to be replaced. If you do try to sell them let us know the results. Later, Stan.

Hi Dee... I write the words and other people write the music and perform the songs. I lean towards older country and rock but I've written a variety of styles. You can go to Kompoz.com and check out...

Thanks Dee... I'll check them out.

Thanks parrothead. As far a I can tell it depends on what you've got.

I plan to try it on an item by item basis and see what they offer.

Like I said, doesn't hurt.

If you find many electronic items you might want to check this out:

I've looked up a few things without much luck but they were older. But you might have something...

My main gig has been selling used books online but that's been getting tougher: fewer sales and more difficulty in getting inventory.

I've also been selling my dumpster finds through garage sales...

I don't find many of these but when I do... I grab it.

They're really easy to break down and inside you'll usually find a chunk of lead acid battery, a large transformer, and some brass. The case...

I was born and raised in central Illinois, spent some time in California, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Currently living in Kingman, Arizona.

I began dumpster diving in 1989 and have been doing it...
