wildest things ever found while scrapping

the other day i was hitting dumpsters when i came across the wildest thing, a prosthetic leg its made out of titanium looked it up on the internet the prices i came up with for it were $10,000-$35,000 dollars put it on craigslist theres a ladie that will give $250 probaly going to sell it to her dont know how many chances ill have to sell a leg

Better keep it. You might find a use for it someday.

I've never found any strange items, but I have scrapped some stuff that was very, very expensive when new. I have a friend who is a manager at a facility that uses some extremely expensive equipment. When they fail or need to be replaced, these items cannot be resold, rebuilt and their only value is scrap. It's strange getting 10 bucks for something that orginally sold for $12k.

lol fnord isn't that the truth

Not strange, but just surprised at what people toss on the trash. I found a perfectly fine 17" flat screen tv in a dumpster.

I have to wonder if some of these electronics that are still good are being tossed out by pi$$ed off girlfriends (or boyfriends.)

or you know how if you hit something like the tv it will fix the picture or what ever it might be maby there broke till they throw them out and when they hit it jars them just right were they work again probably not but find to much stuff that still works maby people have more money than they do sence

@gettin loaded, I think more dollars than sense is the case sume times. Once I pulled rca stereo receiver,dvd player, and vcr all from the same can. None worked, but when I took them apart they all had the same types of wires disconnected, hooked em back up and they all worked fine...almost like they had been pulled out on purpose so they wouldn't work ...

Why bring that trash into your home, maybe the guy who tossed it finally woke.
