I see roundies out here almost weekly for pennies.. they hit the dump.. I see small wood table tops that sell for dirt cheap because no one wants to pay for them.. I just don't get it

It sounds like I need to move to your corner of the world if you are finding roundies on a weekly basis for next to nothing.
I see stuff all the time that I would make the drive for if I could; but, poor eyesight prevents that from happening. If I go anywhere; I have to depend on my Mother, my neighbor, or one of my close friends for transportation. My Mother hates going to flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales, etc. She will take me if I ask; but, I'm usually pressured to "hurry up and come on". When I go with my neighbor or friend; I'm not rushed because they get off on "junk hunting" as much as I do. I wouldn't feel right about asking them to make a long trip, though. Lord willing, we'll be hitting the SA, flea market, and whatever else we pass along the way tomorrow. I'm sure there will be plenty of TV's donated to the thrift stores this time of year.
I'm the type of guy who will only dump something only as a last resort. There is an RCA CTC4 sitting here right now and I've had it for months. I finally realized that I didn't want to undertake it's restoration; so, I offered it for free on here and it will be going to WI in the not too distant future. I could have just busted it up and trashed it and kept my mouth shut about it; but, I'd much rather someone get it that can use it.
