    Well I posted a month back about me finding printers in staples dumpster 4 of them and I looked them up and they are $900 dollars worth of retail value. So I Kept one, gave my mom one. Well I put the other two on ebay. One which is retail 100 bucks I sold for 65, and the other one which is retail 300 bucks I put an auction on it and look at what its at! Epson Artisan 1430 Large-Format Inkjet Printer 010343882379 | eBay

    I was a fan of eBay until they started hammering it to me without even the courtesy of a reach-around. Be careful, you can get really hurt by evilbay.

    It's nice when you can save a working piece of equipment from the trash. It kills me that businesses throw out perfectly good items. You would think they would donate them or something. From the looks of it it works out better for you if they throw it out. Glad you have a good eye for spotting money.

    Yeah sold a Cable tv meter for 1000 on ebay.The guy offered me an extra 100 to close it early or something like that. He said just post it as shipping and handling fee. Ebay jacked me on the extra 100. They thought I was trying to be sneaky. Not really.
