    Just goes to show honesty

    I was driving home and spotted a dumpster,
    in house clean up mode ,
    I took a peek and saw TV x 2 , some wire , chairs .
    spoke to owner and said I would like to go through it cause I can make money with the metals .
    I gave him $10 and that was actually close to the edge but figured it's here I'm here even $5 profit

    (tv's and copper wire gave me a baseline of safe offer amount)



    Then as I am loading he says do you like THESE ?
    I have 4 . I look calm and say the yard will pay $14 for each . He's says don't worry just take em .
    4 aluminum wheels no tires on em !! chrome plating is coming off

    The total score was
    4 wheels $56 scrap value

    2 tvs $5

    6 pounds
    copper wire $12 cleaned

    2 lead acid Bat
    for kids toy $3.50

    miscellaneous
    metals 150 lb $15

    4 XXX movies
    in the box's Priceless

    I told the man I will drop off a 6 pack

    Yes this made my day
