    Other things than metal to haul?

    Hey guys.
    I am getting a lot of stuff like TV's and computers from small businesses, so i tought, why only E-Waste?
    I contacted some toyshops, if they have any B-Stuff or returns that they don't sell and throw away, and am now waiting for the answers.



    I remembered a friend of mine was doing this, and was getting a lot of stuff like Lego and Playmobil where the package was damaged, and couldn't get sold,
    and if you have kids, i think you know how much some of these things cost... He sold it on Ebay and made very very good money with it.

    I hope this isn't to much off the topic..
    Do you get any other things than scrap metal? I have also a camera store, who gives me irreparable equipment, which is also very expencive.

    definitely agree with the toys for the kids. my question is this. what good is irreparable equipment? expensive or not. at that point does it not resort back to scrap value.

    A lot of the retail stores I am dealing with don't want their broken or discontinued merchandise back n the market. It is either due to vendors not wanting their items being sold creating a second market or quality issues.

    They always have nice spare parts which I sell on Ebay, like the lense, or some of them have special batteries, or I get other equipment like tripods or something.
