RE: 5 More Curb-Salvaged Household Items Not Destroyed, Sold For $395 (31+ Pounds)
Our society can be very lazy and wasteful. People don't appreciate the value of the items they have to make sure they give them to those who could need them. They'd rather throw them out. I hate that.

RE: Feeling Kinda Pro...
Great job. I'm guessing that you may have been compensated in EOS too, which is ideally better than USD in the long run. The jeep full of the homies was my favorite one. Hopefully you can leverage this

RE: I Don't Thrift Much Anymore, But When I Do... $87.73 Spent On 6 Items To Net $356.67 Profit (4x)
Thanks. I usually like to be in the the 5-20x range when I buy, mainly because I can get stuff for free whenever I want, but those snipes are harder to find these days when the stores' prices have gotten

Thanks. Thrifting when I can get stuff for free feels counterintuitive, but I do dabble here and there. I used to go to 10-18 stores a day in my city and really crush it. This was before I noticed the

RE: 6 More Salvaged Curbside Recycling Items Resold For $545 (27 LBS Saved)
When I find high end items that don’t work, I know there’s a secondary market for replacement parts because the owners are attached to their item if it breaks down, and they’ve spent a lot on it. I usually

I had calculated this from recent years once I started tracking the weights, but can find the number now. Several thousand pounds though.

Sometimes I try to come up with theories to rationalize why people might not be so ridiculous, but on average, it's just wastefulness or a lack of knowhow. I can't tell you how many endless times I've

It's been going on far longer than my time here. It's the culture. Hopefully younger and more savvy generations will be more mindful of the environment than the local fools I have to pick up after here.

The woman tried to return them because they were too stiff for her baby's feet, but as an ortho boot, that's the point. She cancelled her return after I asked her to, given no fault by me. Good use of

I've known about the strong resale value of some styles of Levi's, but I never took the time to learn, and couldn't get excited about sifting through racks of jeans. Finding a new pair that old must've

I have infinite smaller funds in the $30-$50 range I haven’t posted since they’re not too exciting, but if you appreciate the creativity behind them, I can try to tack some on to keep some suspense. Whenever
