    The next surprise? Here's what the load consisted of:
    About 50% books and papers I can sell to the recycling place.
    Three bikes.
    Lots of computers and electronics.
    Several typewriters.
    I figure I got about $200 of resellable/recycleable stuff, and the only thing I have to pay to dump is an old sofa.



    Some days I LOVE my job!
    I wish I had a place here to buy books. I just donated close to 100 books 2 days ago to Goodwill!

    Anyways, good job on the awesome deal. And yes you are right, it is always surprising when customers are willing to pay extra.
