    Scrapped a check reader. Nothing special inside, a green board with ic chips and like 10 gold pins What would this be considered? And a little motor and wires

    Mine will probably be graded as a peripheral board or hi end of the mid-grade

    Found these items in about 5 minutes The machine looks like it is missing a part in the bottom. I'll have a better look tomorrow. The leaf blower is a Troy built and I know their quality has really dropped. Now by not any means am I an engine expert but I know the basics and I don't think it has compression. http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0846bdae.jpg http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...pscde3b911.jpg

    Went to a haunted house tonight and of course while I was leaving, I had to find scrap. This time it was a piece of restaurant equipment. Its one of those salad bar things with all the little built-in boxes for condiments. Suprisingly, it is refrigerated. If you want to see pics, let me know. Unfortunately its that fake s.s. but something is better than nothing!

    Picked up 4 riding mowers today from a guy my dad works with. One has a full tank of gas and it looks like they put 100 lbs. more pressure than it should of been. The other 3 are all identical models (simplicity) 1 was stripped-no engine or really anything besides the transmission, seat, frame, hood, wire, and wheels. Since the wire was visible i cut it all out then i decided to cut it out of all of them-UGH! The other two were complete- batteries and i thought the one was part of the barn we pulled it out of. In the end, I got about 5 lbs of wire, 2 batteries, some aluminum clutch pedals, an unknown amount of gas, 6 good wheels to sell, 2 good seats, and a bunch of shred. I sure hope this was worth all the effort and work I put toward these.
