While out garage saling yesterday i ended up with just over 5kgs of brass ornaments, I got a newish looking dryer which had a sign on it 'not working suspected thermostat' the guy saw me looking at it and said make an offer, I said il take it for free, he said 'done' well that's now on trademe (New Zealand's version of ebay) and at another garage sale I spotted an old rusty laundry tub out the back of someones yard asked the lady about it and she said its going to the dump. I offered her $1 for it and hauled it off.. First one and really enjoyed breaking this down today, ended up with copper pipes with brass ends, aluminium stainless and light steel.. I also ask for dead car batteries at every garage sale, I get some funny looks but I often end up with a couple. The tag below is my blog I started a couple months back. Intend to hourd all my non ferrous for 2 years, to buy a small truck..
