what a weird week its been

Been one of those for me to, except I had a buddy come by an manage to give me a high enough bribe to part with a really cold producing beer fridge(I was going to keep it downstairs, to use for my beverages, an for when I grill out, less walking upstairs) and a Kingford grill. I was sad after I sold him the grill. Cause he pointed it out it had a bottle opener on it!

Found a bunch of kids bikes earlier in the week, they are in a pile awaiting a trip to the yard. Someone else came by an bought two of the tires. lol. Just walking by an they wanted them. Hey for 10 bucks a piece I'll sell it to them all day long!

May next week be better for ya NA!

I love bikes , that's great hope the pay off nice . I had some luck last month sold 3 of them on cl after hard core negotiations I sold 2 for 80 and the third for 150 . With the weather nice they don't seem to take too long sell. If I get Rusty ones or small kids bikes . They end up at the yard . But my yard pulls all bikes and donates them , another reason why I frequent them.

Check this out , I got all this on Wednesday for 2$ All non ferrous.

Sadly I don't think , they bid choice on the lot before I bought the remainder , a lady won high bid of I think it was $8 and took the one piece I believe was silver plated. I never investigate during the auction , I swear if someone sees you touch something they will try to run you up. The picture I showed was the rest . I'm going to have to check it out , I just separated the ferrous out before I took their . Got some heavy stuff that I'm thinking is pewter . I will check it over again before I grind it on the bench. I'm thinking the candle sticks are brass . I will post the weights after I sort tom.

Nice score indeed, an real cool of your yard to donate the bikes.

Ones I got are kids bikes an all banged up an rusty, so they'll go to the yard eventually. I stripped them of useable parts, an will likely donate them to one of the places that helps kids down here. Save money on them paying for parts, so they can put that money to food, clothes, etc.

NA.....looks like you're going to have to carry a hammer with you so you can dent up everything you find so the friends and relatives won't want it all.

Metalbestos....good haul on your auction. Really check that stuff out. Some of it could even be Sterling. Even if it's brass, that's great. Pewter would be better. Check with your yard on silver plated items. One near me buys any silver plated stuff at $1.25/lb. Your yard may have a similar price category.

I get weeks like that a lot, sometimes there's just nothing out around here, or the other scrappers have been hitting it hard and I'm left with glassware or fruit bowls. LOL



Then the next week I'll be overwhelmed.

That windmill sounds awesome though, been hoping someone tosses one around here...have just the spot for it.

get a lot of times of give aways but I love it because the best ever was giving my neighbor a lawnmower not anything special mind you worked well and was beat up. the next spring they remodel and give me all the lights cabnets and rads in the house $1400+ worth of sales and scrap so it good to put good out to get yummy back
