Reselling stuff you get for free from a small town to small town people for a profit.. Specifically refrigerators.
The problem I encounter with fridges/freezers is that most of the time the fridge is scrapped because it leaks, food is getting frozen or thawing etc..
If I resell a fridge, I want to make sure that it is working properly. I come from a small town, ppl. know that I scrap...The only place I want to sell real scrap is to the yard, unless it really is worth selling for a real profit. (not scrap)
Not too long ago, I got a nice (but real dirty and lots of caked dust underneath) fridge with the bottom freezer drawer. The guy told me that it still worked, so I planned on keeping it for myself. Long story short my buddy's wife left him so I gave him the fridge. He took 4 hours to clean it!
Was at least a hundred and fifty dollar fridge.(by the time he was done cleaning it)
Recently, one of my regulars dropped off a fridge and stove. I figured they were scrap but then I got a phone call from a friend of mine, she says I was talking to so and so, he says the fridge still works, can I have it for my brother, he needs a fridge. You see people know I get it for free, so its hard to put a price on it, and when you do they figure you are giving them a stiffie. Small towns..
I got kids to feed!
