You can always Dumpster Dive to get free stuff to sell.

So true...last week, I saw a man holding something high up in the air over the dumpster as I was in the alley of my husband's workplace dropping him off at work. I thought "I'm going to have to come back to this!" So I stopped & checked right then, but I also returned later. I found the computer that I am writing on as well as several other pieces of office equipment. This is a huge SERVER 'puter...very nice. Nothing was wrong with it AT ALL. I'm so happy about it. So, yes, a little looking never hurt anyone! Never know what you'll find.
I'm having a sale Saturday, so I also cruised around some today...I came home with:
- a wonderfully LARGE pool
(with temperatures getting up there like they are, I don't think I'll have any trouble selling that!)
- an "extra-spiffy" Mongoose bike (complete with "pegs" for the boys - - we're keeping that one),
- a Toys R Us Train set (this thing is HUGE, &
NEW in the box) with Buzz LightYear & the grinch
- a small black Baker's Rack
[i](~lol~ I feel like I should be posting this in the chatelling forum...whatever happened to that, btw?)
Next was the storage dumpster, I always find good stuff there, too. Always check those...
Man, Pete & Gordon are going to say I should write a hotsheet on dumpster diving!
~lol!!~
With the sale Saturday, I'm just going out to gather what I can and see what's out there. Oh, I forgot today, I also got a hotwheels car that is actually a large organizing crate & toy at the same time...really nice, I can't believe these people throw this stuff out! It's just too nice to go into the landfill!!
So, yes, I'd recommend dumpster diving, too!
