The Things People Throw Away

[YamahaFreak]

It is actually a very regular thing for me to trash pick, repair/restore, and then sell. I make a decent amount of 'side cash' doing this, and 90% of what I offer for sale looks and works FAR better than it did when I found it. Several big-screen rear projectors (some HD), at least one flat panel, a bunch of nice CRT sets, a few tower speakers (Technics SB-L75 and Fisher STV-somethings listing soon), more...quite frequently, I am genuinely surprised at some of the things I list that actually sell.

Sounds awesome. Perhaps you mention the work done on these things in your ads? Could be the selling point for a lot of them.

Always! I make it a point in every ad to mention that everything I sell has been completely gone through and thoroughly cleaned. It's a win-win, because it's something I really enjoy doing.
