Have you ever found some nice things that were still in excellent
condition sitting on the curb for garbage? Well, in my case someone
else's trash, has put money into my purse. Living in or going through a
pretty nice neighborhood can be very beneficial, especially on garbage
day. I have passed by something on the side of the road and asked
myself, are they really going to throw that out?
The
majority of people throwing out nice or excellent conditioned items,
usually have lots of money and assets already. Their main goal is to
keep up with the Kardashians. For instance, family A went and bought a
48 inch flat screen TV two months ago. They were talking to their
neighbors (family B) when they found out that family B has a 52 inch
flat screen with 3D. Now family A gets rid of the t.v that they have
only had for two months, just to keep up with family B. Or plain and
simple, they just don't want that particular item anymore and set it out
for the trash. That's where I come along and take their trash and turn
it into a gift or better yet, cash!
When you see something set out
for trash that looks pleasing to the eye get it, test it, and research
it. For example, I found an electric guitar sitting on the side of the
road. I didn't own amps or any type of guitar equipment, but I did
remember my neighbors had a rock band and they could help me out with
information on the electric guitar. I recommend researching the item you
have found, that way you educate yourself on what you have. Information
such as original cost, year, make, model type, and compatible items can
be very beneficial for you. When doing research online, I found that
this is a very common electric guitar which was made in 2007 and
originally cost $449.00. I didn't have any interest in guitar playing,
so my neighbors (with the rock band) offered to buy it for $200.00 and
it was sold!
Just recently someone had a box with PS2 games (20 of
them), PS2 Game system, wireless controller, and 8 megaByte memory card
on the side of the road for garbage. I couldn't tell whether it worked
or whether everything was intact until I got it home. Good thing it
worked because my 11-year-old nephew had a birthday right around the
corner.
You never know what you may find sitting on the curb
waiting for the garbage truck. Anything that you think that may have
some value get it and do some light research on it. You may find out
some very surprising news about that item.
