That's a cool $105 in revenue per find.
It's been a while since I posted my "usual" sold item lists, so let's dive in.
Every item shown noted as sold online was shipped with 100% personally recycled packaging outside of tape, except one for substantial cost savings. Revenue is before fees and shipping.
These were all salvaged from my neighborhood's curbside recycling in plain sight, or in clear plastic bags.
I chose these 11 for their diversity. I sold many more of higher value that I'll show another time. I also prefer to keep some private.
Empty liquor box sold online for $85.
A massive plush luxury brand beanbag cover sold online for $160. Really. The beanbag was 80+ pounds and enormous to take, so I took the most efficient money from it.
Educational book set sold online for $150. I found a second set in the same spot worth $300 that hasn't sold yet.
Electric wheelchair joystick control sold untested online for $135. Yup.
Three door hinges sold online for $65. Flat rate non-recycled packaging was used for only the second time this year to bring shipping costs from ~$14.50 to $7.04. FYI - I had found 9 of these and have 1 left.
Vacuum power nozzles tested and sold online for $113.
Four books from the early 1980's found together sold online for $75.
Modem/router sold online for $70. Ran in front of a recycling truck that was pulling up to the pile I got this from just in time. They even asked what I was doing, and I said "saving this to sell it for about $70." True story.
A computer sold untested w/o a hard drive for $80 cash. The CPU was intact.
Two of these vacuum power nozzles tested and sold in the same day for $45 and $45.
Two of these wifi range extenders found together sold online for $64 and $64.
The effort is not in this post, it's in the hustle and determination I put in to find these things, save them from imminent destruction, and get them to people who need them, so they don't overpay for new ones or throw out something they need a replacement part for... I save and sell almost 1,000 recycled items each year by myself. You can do the math.
I do this to help the planet, not need a job for almost 5 years, and make a real impact. Please support my cause because it gives me extra motivation to save more when I'm outside in the middle of the night in the freezing cold.
