6 More Salvaged Free Curbside Recycling Finds Sold For $640

Here we go again! I’m about to go outside on a Friday night to find more, so let’s jump right in.

Nintendo Wii U Gamepad:

Sold online for $105.
I found the full system and about 7 popular games at once in a wet bag. Go figure.
This was fun to test, but the interactive system is better to be enjoyed by younger kids.
Weight of 2 lbs 10 oz with recycled packaging.

Oh yea, proof:

Did you doubt me?

Medical Grade Air Purifier:

Sold for $150 cash.
Included a filter that was in great shape. New filters cost around $200 and last 5 years, so this was a good value.
Sold to someone who has a ton of BTC and plenty of alt coins. We now chat to exchange info and advice.
Weight of 46 pounds.

Abdominal Core Exercise Trainer:

Sold for $80 cash.
You place you’re phone in slot on top and use it with a phone app that gamifies your training. Think boogie boarding or flying through space.
I wanted to keep this but it takes up a good amount of space, especially since it’s lopsided on a fulcrum on the bottom to prevent me from stacking it.
Weight of 7.5 pounds.

Juicer Motor Base:

Sold online for $95.
Found while walking to a friend’s place to watch sports.
It didn’t appear to work at first, but I used some common sense to use a magnet around the unit to simulate that the cup was attached. This triggered the safety release to allow it to run.
12 pounds with recycled packaging.

Dyson Vacuum Set:

Sold for $120 cash.
Finding these are like finding cash on the street since they sell very quickly.
I just had to wipe it down with rubbing alcohol.
Sometimes they’re tossed due to clogs which are easy to clear up in a few minutes.
Weight of 7.5 pounds.

New High-end Makeup:

Sold online for $90.
I found a huge bag of almost 90 pieces of makeup from some type of makeup marketing executive.
About 2/3 of the makeup was tested (used once) or used, but 1/3 was in new condition.
While there were many new ones, not all were high-end to resell. I’ve tabled this stuff for later on.
Weight of 6 ounces with recycled packaging.

6 sales / $640 revenue = $106.67 per find.
55% of revenue received as cash.
No costs.
Shipping weight included all recycled packaging except tape.

I’m posting 5-6 examples here to spread out the recent results since I don’t have millions of examples. I’m also being more detailed for each as you can see, a fair trade versus my typical 10 examples with less info.

The amount of items here in no way shape or form correlates to the amount of effort I put into finding, restoring, fixing, selling and shipping them. My effort is intended to help the environment, others, and to support myself so I can keep doing this while patiently waiting for crypto to do its thing. It’s been almost 6 years since I worked for anyone else, or at all... These things are my rewards.
