    If you are selling stuff on craigslist. There may be buyers for the thick plastic sheet and the thinner prismatic sheets.
    I'm thinking the 'craft work' people. The prismatic sheets would make nice little windmills and also message cards etc.
    Its just a longshot but there might be someone who's interested.

    I have used the white and prismatic sheets on my windows to give the neighbours have a bit more privesy in their backyard, in my kitchen window.
    Funny thing happened a few weeks ago, I'm at the kitchen bench cutting out the flatpack ic's from lower grade scrap when...
    Bam! Huge flash of white light fulls the room, I jump, both feet off the floor!
    Then a crack as the thunder sound hits.
    The white sheets had spred the white lightning bolt light out over 100% of the window area, completly fulled the kitchen with bright white light.
    They do a really great job of spreading light while letting it all thru. At the same time, you cannot make out anything of what's on the other side of the sheet/window.

    I save all the relays I find. There's not enough Copper in them to make much money. There is a little, but not much.
    I have went thru some before to pick out the Copper/Silver contacts, some are all Silver. But ITS still don't think there's enough Silver in them to make $ in the long run.
    Some have Gold contacts, they are pretty rare. Mostly european brand goods. I also find the 'Gold bar' contacts in the odd CD player. In computers and home stereo CD players. In the home stereos, they are at the back of the CD player and also on the tape deck mechinism, they are on the open air contact switches, just two thin Copper strips attached to two wires. The Gold contact is a rod 0.8 x 0.8 mm x 3mm long. I see some are solid Gold, most are Silver with Gold plating.
    This is really just for your intrest. I have not sold any gold or contacts or done anything more than pick them off and put them aside. To save time, I am just saving the relays and switches to work on later.
