<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 96339, member: 111"]When the mood strikes me, do a trash-picking run through Mom's neighborhood, mine, and a couple of others nearby. Along with actual junk that I repurpose , have found numerous salable items, furniture is usually put on CL, but have eBayed many items for decent money, including a small autoclave, brand new w/tags travel golf bag case, set of oddly desirable children's books, a Bodyblade, lots of cookware, including a perfectly seasoned 1930s-40s Wagnerware frying pan (which I kept). Not too long ago picked up a fairly pricey MCM piece missing a leather part, intended to check my stash of leather, but that night, stopped to investigate a big plastic tub and it was filled with all kinds of leather, including a piece perfect for my repair - few weeks later found more, along with tools, at the same house. And recently found a little chest, one drawer filled with barely used designer scents, all to my taste except for a stinky one that was almost empty - most could be sold for $15.-25., one discontinued that would bring $40.-50., except I like it best and can't quite bring myself to give it up (yes, I will wear perfume found in the neighbor's trash)...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
