    Landed my first big pick up from a nation wide company

    Got a call this morning from a Chicago phone #. I live 180 west of chicago so i thought it was kind of odd. I answered it and it was a company that said they do salvage appliance pick ups for a Lowes home improvment store near me. they can't get one of their trucks there to do the pick up and lowes is calling them saying they have over 50 appliances that are waiting to be picked up and they want them gone now. I said i can do it, so tomorrow morning i start hualing appliances away at the local Lowes. I also had a stove/refridgerator pick up scheduled for today so when i got to the guys house he said he had a pool table in the basement that the previous home owner left, and if i wanted it i could have it. i was thinking it would be a cheap $100 table that was falling over. It's a Gandy Big "G" table that looks like it's never been played on. And he gave me $100 dollar bill for getting it out of his basement. I still cant believe my day.

    That is a good lead. Try to keep that one good for more than a one time use.
