What's your best pick...From garbage thrown away?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 10:32 pm

Hello
I am not a pro like some scrappers do but.
Today I picked up a nice swivel chair my neighbourg was trowing awy because one bolt that was missing was irritating her, just need a paint job.
I found many books some in the plastic covering them unopenned once, and a open green bag full of new Signed clothes probably a divorce and his wife twrew them all away. An antique chair valued at 400$ A dresser at 350$...
I am not ashamed to amass these things, it is a kind of play for me.
Pete

if you're amassing them it's a problem. If you're selling for profit, it makes sense.

When he left...Some social persons and police came to take him out.

I found a dead baby, umbilical cord and all. Too bad the after birth was missing or I could have made a fortune on ebay.
