    Red face Curbside Come Up!!

    I stopped at the curb a block from my house and nosed around what was left for bulk trash. There was a 1lb copper tube to start and two VERY heavy containers full of stuff. My biggest "come up" from this thus far was a 1931 Ford Model A car horn that I accidentally (first ebay sell ever) sold for $125.00. Not bad for putting a "buy now" price when I could have gotten in the 150-180 range but hey the horn was free and went to a barn find for a Ford Truck!! Now I have a sh*t ton (as my son would say) of random tools and thing-a-ma-jiggers to fix old radios and various electronic testing devices to try to find a home for. None the less the $125 horn was worth the stopping and picking up someone elses bulk trash. So glad I did!! I will attach a few pics if anyone has any suggestions for the other stuff I'd greatly appreciate it! One more thing, there was 22lbs of lead in the boxes, I scrapped that, didn't care to have solid lead sitting around my apt. Not sure what else I could have done with it.
