That's a decent profit if you research practical models and their parts under sold listings on eBay >control panels >motherboards >transmission >stainless steel drums for firepits (local sale)
lol, just realized we both live near Fresno I think I may go grab a couple
everyone always says they can sell stuff for parts but the hassle of researching what's valuable (this could be days of reading articles and forums), taking everything apart, taking pictures, making listings for everything (potentially dozens of parts), responding to bullshit questions from figurative tirekickers, storing everything while you wait weeks or months for things to start moving, not to mention packing and shipping parts when you finally do get a sale, seems exhausting. I have a few things in my backyard I could try and part out, but thinking of the work makes me understand why people just give up and put it up for free just to get rid of it. your plan is probably what this guy tried until he realized the sheer amount of labor it would take to make a few hundred bucks when he could be using his time elsewhere.
This. I have so much shit that is just valuable not to throw away, but so much work to test, research, list, sell, ship, deal with bullshit.
Frick, even when you give up and offer it for free on CL.. well here is my listing https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/zip/d/glendale-diy-backsheet-and-eva-for/7579991044.html
I’ve talked to 5 people who have wasted my time trying to schedule times for pickup, back and forth calls, and then they ask questions like “how good do the solar panels work”.
90% of the replies I get are spam in the format of >I want to pick this up today, can you text me at (number) >do you still have (item) I can pick up today or tomorrow, pleas call me at (number)
So you have to sift through them to find the fakes.
This stuff is somewhat valuable, but the demand is rare. I’ve sold some on eBay, but shipping costs are so high it’s barely worth it. And now it’s all getting taxed twice : 10% sales tax, plus it all gets reported now, so that eats into my profits also, plus eBay charges, and promoting charges. This shit was free ( got it in bulk from closing solar plant ) and it’s just not worth dealing with.
Oh plus even better … eBay got rid of their free listing software, and during the pandemic I turned off my sales, and they all expired. I lost all the text on my listings, so I have to rewrite I dunno. 100 fricking items.
And Craigslist expires every 45 days, so you have to reupload all your photos, plus you have to constantly relist.
CL seems to suck now too, a lot less people use it. So you have to relist all this bullshit on Facebook marketplace, which is hell on earth. It’s just not worth it anymore. I used to buy shit at auctions, and would make 5-10k a year on the side. Now I just have a house full of crap that needs to be sold, no energy to do it all. It used to be if could buy something at 25% it’s value, sell it quickly at 50% value, it was worth it.
Giant increases in shipping cost, sales tax, and finally income tax.. frick it. Oh yeah, and Amazon has pushed out small sellers. Amazon used to be great for surplus reselling. Now you have to be a verified retailer for that brand, or they pull your shit down. Which is ironic, since Amazon was built on grey-market sales. It’s just disappointing. What used to be a fun and profitable hobby has turned into a shitty job that I have to do to keep clearing out my inventory
For CL free I usually just leave it outside the front of my house and say first come first serve. When I buy my own property I'd like something covered to keep that sort of stuff out of the rain.
Ebay is such a pain because I need to find a box, measure it, and weigh it just to get a shipping cost. And usually it's still way more than anybody is willing to pay. Seems the only way to move inventory is to list for extremely low prices (such that it's no longer a worthwhile use of my time) or to scalp desperate people with really high prices and leave the listing up for months or years.
"Hacking" USPS flat rate is worthwhile though, cramming heavy car parts into 70lb weight limit flat rate packaging. You can heat the padded envelopes to stretch them.
>Hacking" USPS flat rate is worthwhile though, cramming heavy car parts into 70lb weight limit flat rate packaging. You can heat the padded envelopes to stretch them.
Good tip on the heating. Didn’t know that. I use flat rate boxes for the bulk of stuff I was selling. But they raised the prices steadily over the years. I’ve learned how to pack mad shit inside those envelopes.
Yeah good call. This shit is at my dads, so I don’t want to put it all (30 boxes ) on his front yard and hope it disappears. I’m gonna put it out next big trash day. If people get it, fine. If not, fine.
parting stuff out is only "profitable" if you have nothing but free time. or if you're parting out a collectable car with a healthy and active community. even then, you're not getting rid of everything, you're gonna end up with a half-eaten rolling shell that's gonna take up space and be an eyesore.
That isn’t the only thing you can part out you know. Vintage audio, washer/dryer/dishwasher motherboards, vintage test equipment. Roombas and dyson stick vacuums. Portable AC units. It’s a pretty big list.
yeah, and all of that requires doing all the tasks I listed previously. parting stuff out only makes sense if you're spending all day sitting on your ass anyways. you're only getting quick turnaround on vehicle parts.
When the shell is empty call the scrapper. They pay you and drag it off. Many shops self included fill junkers with scrap parts for serious extra weight and everyone wins.

the main problem is ebay now reports you as a small business to the irs if you sell more than $600. I only sell locally now but its much much slower
so lets say I buy a new laptop and want to sell the old one so someone else can get use of it.. lets say its worth $700 and I sell it for such. just average joe selling one item. so by selling this one item and nothing else, I am automatically a small business? I am sure there more to it than that. I doubt if someone who only sells stuff a few times a year would be classified as a small business if one of those items made them over 600 bucks.
>I am automatically a small business?
No. eBay will report your revenue. That doesn't make you a small business. When it comes time to file your taxes, you must declare all "other revenue" above a certain amount (exact amount depends on a lot of shit). This includes gambling earnings, gifts, anything you sell.
It’s reported as through you’re an independent contractor, not the same way gambling or income from a sole proprietorship is reported. AFAIK the term “small business” doesn’t really exist in the tax code.
Right. So you seem to have a problem with understanding the English language. Look at the difference between "reported as a small business" and "reported as if you were a small business." They can mean the same thing or different things depending on context. PrepHole is a very informal context. And obviously you don't magically become a small business because eBay says you are.
tl;dr - try to use your head for more then a hat rack.
[...]

The IRS delayed implementation of the $600+ requirement until 2024. So you have the rest of 2023 before 1099-K's start being required.
>I doubt if someone who only sells stuff a few times a year would be classified as a small business if one of those items made them over 600 bucks.
King Black person's gay lover changed the tax code and hired 87000 IRS agents to frick you just for this purpose.
You watch too much fox or /misc/. The whole point of the extra IRS people is to be able to go after bigger fish. Right now, IRS can catch that little shit, and it requires no training. What it can’t do is go after complicated tax situations. That’s why republicans are so against this, top 1% is more likely to get audited and caught.
>The whole point of the extra IRS people is to be able to go after bigger fish >That's right, goy! We can catch 22 billion transactions for a few dollars each that largely occur in the informal economy and in cash, but we can't catch a handful of multimillion dollar exchanges that occur in a well documented and low op-sec financial world with huge paper trails!

ahh yes the classic billionaire tax loophole selling $601 of junk on ebay holy frick you homosexual
Maybe I'm not explaining myself well. The IRS doesn't need more money to go after the easy low hanging fruit like me who don't pay their ebay taxes.
A computer will flag me, and if they do decide to audit it will be a quick matter. The person doing the audit will require the most minimal training.
This is what the IRS does now. They go after the small, easy to get fruit. Additionally, they are so heavily understaffed that they are significantly behind on returns. I have been waiting 2 years for my 2020 tax refund of $12,000. I don't have an accountant I can pay to sit on the phone for 6 hours trying to get through. So I give it an hour or two, and have to stop. I've been doing this on and off for the last year.
Give the IRS more funding will (hopefully) allow them to improve customer service which helps lower and middle class people. It impacts us MUCH MORE than upper class.
They have also stated that they need more and BETTER TRAINED people to go after the large and complex targets. Namely top 1%ers and corporations.
Look, if they get the money and this doesn't happen - we should all be pissed. But to hamstring the IRS only benefits the ultra rich. Which of course, is why republicans have to make up stupid shit like "we are arming the IRS!".

"Here's a story from the agency's official history from a more recent period. One agent was stabbed repeatedly with an ice pick. Another agent was offered $10,000 to murder the wife of one of the targets. This is not green-eyeshade stuff for accountants armed with calculators, thank you very much Congressman Gaetz. Increasingly this kind of work involves the really bad guys of a globalized criminal world, including drug dealers, terrorists, money launderers, and other kinds of people that you don't want to invite home for dinner."

Traditionally federal agencies have relied on local police to conduct raids. The thing is that more and more local agencies are telling the fed boys to frick off. It's partly because they don't want to be seen participating in jackbooted operations, and partly that they get treated like shit by the feds. A lot of times what happens is that the feds will call up and say they need to do a raid right fricking now, but the local cops would need to pull officers from other duties, authorize overtime, or activate SWAT. With tight budgets, that's hard to justify when the feds often refuse to reimburse the department for the costs of kicking down the door of a crooked accountant at 3 AM for no reason other than that they could.

Lol no. It's to frick the little guy. Big fish are scary and have lawyers, they don't touch them unless it's someone they really really want to frick like a gentile mobster.
You arent a small business but you have to file your taxes in the exact same way as one, which is difficult. Most people will hire an accountant at that point, you can do turbo tax but thats expensive too and its dogshit
once your ebay account has made $600 profit, they automatically send it to the IRS

I sold "barrel extensions" for paintball guns that were basically a silencer. I even listed the first one as a "silencer" and e-bay pulled it. They were essentially an empty aerosol can, and some pvc with slits in it and some fiberglass insulation stuffed into the can around the pvc. It would clamp onto the barrel of the paintball gun and did muffle the sound quite well. I probably sold 500 of those damn things at $25 a pop. I'm surprised I was never contacted by the ATF for that one, but I really was just a young dumb kid.
Also made about 8-10 T-maxx roll cages that sold for $60 a piece. Soon thereafter before I could really tool up for it the market got flooded with them.
whats next. are they gonna send IRS agents to every community garage sale or bake sale and make them report any income over $600 and pay taxes on you selling your old ass dusty garage junk? this all has to be a joke really. if you are running a legitimate business on ebay sure you should pay your dues as a business owner. but if you just selling random junk to clear out your garage you arent a business. you are joe public homeowner.
>agents to every community garage sale
Few people earn a living from garage or bake sales. IRS can ignore those for the most part. To many people were earning a living through eBay, Amazon and Newegg, so the IRS did something about it.
My repair guy says they have dozens of them; not profitable/sellable anymore, he says. I just recently replaced the brushes (twice...) and door gasket on mine for the first time in its about two decades.
Brushes wore unevenly, so now i have a couple of nearly new sticks I can use next time i need them replaced.
I'm in Europe, though.
A working 32" CRT TV that's as old as the one in your picture is worth $0-20.
If it were vintage and in good condition it might be worth more.
>if this TV still works or can be fixed it's worth quite a bit
either this is bait or you haven't been inside a store since 1998
if you tried to donate that TV to Goodwill they would tell you no thanks, even if they priced it at $10 nobody would buy it
literally all TV shows and movies are in widescreen format (16:9 ratio) and meanwhile that TV is square (4:3 ratio). It's completely useless and has been for almost 20 years
Oh look, people who arent keeping up with the reselling market at all.
"Retro gamers" have been buying CRTs for hugely inflated prices for the last 5-6 years. The same people who are blowing gigantic amounts of cash on sealed games and old consoles.
What about this? There's some really nice stuff here, I promise. The fact it's been sitting out in the yard for a month, during winter, has no bearing on anything. Do you know how much I paid for some of this stuff?
This is exactly why youll never make it anon.
The fact youve gone this long without even knowing there was an emerging market, which then exploded, for items that were plentiful and given away is telling.

Old CRTs are worth something, but only in specific cases.
Things worth money:
Sony Trinitron CRTs
High quality studio monitors
Original branded CRTs*
*Things like Apple computer monitors, Commodore computer monitors, Atari computer monitors, that kind of shit. People want a matching display for their vintage computer. 'PC' computer monitors aren't worth shit though, generally.
Things that are worthless:
Literally everything else.
RCA, Sanyo, GE, Zenith, Philips, Samsung etc. Take it to the dump. You might be able to get a few bucks for a Toshiba or JVC set but probably not.

People still play old computer and video games. They look best on 4:3 displays. Old games also often took advantage of the dithering effect CRTs provided. Picture related. They also have next to no input lag and fantastic blacks. LCDs also have trouble with the very low resolutions some of these old systems used. So, there is a use case for them. At least for now. Maybe true LED displays will push them out but as long as the LCD is the 'best' thing on the market there will still be some demand for CRTs.
>Specific model CRT sometimes maybe worth something >Pile of shit TV on craigslist that actually looks like a DLP is worth anything
Yeah I know some CRTs are worth something, you are a moron for thinking they are ALL worth something
>some are worth HUGE amounts of money, therefore there is 0 demand for anything else.
Doesnt work that way, not every retro gamer can afford a Trinitron, thats reserved for years deep into the hobby. Those people bought that shit years ago.
Every nostalgia seeker and teen got into the game at the same time.
People buy what they can get, and when Goodwill put the axe down on CRTs, the supply dried up immediately.
Its a cycle, you cant donate it, so you dont even bother to try and sell it.
It just so happened the huge demand for them came only a few years later.
The last 4 years ive sold all sorts of random garbage brand TVs, people slurp them right up.
I'm in the hobby. I only buy Sonys because it is easier to keep track of what is good and what isn't. I have a 1981 Trinitron that my family bought new. I use it for second gen systems. I then have a 19 inch flat screen Trinitron that I use for third gen systems, as it has RCA inputs. I paid $50 for it back in 2010 just as I got back into the hobby. I then have a 24 inch flat screen that I use for fourth gen systems, as it has S-video. I paid $40 for it about a year ago. Even came with the original remote. Finally I have a 34 inch, 200 pound monster that I use for newer systems, as it has HDMI input. I picked it up 10 years ago or so for $40 and it also came with its original remote. I don't live in a hugely populated area so CL and Facebook are kinda dead but you can find stuff if you keep an eye out.
This 100%, people will buy any brand CRT if they're the desktop 14"ish size or smaller. I've probably made an extra 1k in the last 400 days by pulling over and picking up a smaller ish CRT if I see one, wipe it down, and take pictures. I Aim for 100 bucks a pop after fees and shipping (buyer pays). Only reason this actually works is because there's always extra boxesand packing material jn my company's shipping department that they would otherwise throw out.
If you can pack and ship and tape up the CRTs with extra shit you get from your company that would be thrown out it's well worth it.
>"Retro gamers" have been buying CRTs for hugely inflated prices for the last 5-6 years.
You will not sell a heavy piece of shit like that, I guaran-fricking-ty you. There are a few CRTs that are worth a lot of money, though, but they're the really collectible ones from particular manufacturers.

Those are at least $4K to dispose of legally. It's why scumbag people abandon them in forests and rural roads. They litter with their poor life choices and leave the county to pay for the cleanup.
Where? It wouldn't cost me more than a hundred buck in landfill fees, and it would be free if I cut it up into pieces I could drop off at my local recycle centers. I've done this shit before with a school bus, box trucks and RV trailers (I harvest axles of course).
That style is easy to scrap or sell but only for people who can move them and someone with a wrecker or big rollback will but not worth it for a noob.
I'd cut it up, drop off non-metallic sections at my local landfill then keep or sell the axles and drivetrain. Not hard for one with experience but not remotely worth it otherwise. RVs magically shrink quite a bit when you cut them up. Looks like it began life as a dually so more parts for my wreckers.
i would go there just to tell these morons they cant spell. then take a piss on the RVs tires and leave

Reminds me of the time I took in a rooster and ate it the next week, a month later they called me to see how the rooster was doing and their kids wanted to see it so I lied and said a pitbull ate it. That same week I saw a pitbull dead on the side of the interstate. OOPS
Yup kids these days dont know the value of a dollar *revs up ford f-250 in preparation of my long distance drive to the guys house then to the bottle depot then back to my place*
As would I though I much prefer my shipping containers I could use it as storage or scrap it if scrap is high at the time.
If it wasn't worth towing I'd cut it up on the spot to scrap the aluminum then cut up the chassis and scrap or keep whatever was useful from that. It's quick to do but if the rest is that nice I'd see about having it towed since my wreckers are light duty.
How's he cheating by asking for a specific type of patient? It's not his fault that none of them walked into the clinic while he was getting practice. If anything it should be the universities/educators duty to make sure students get the necessary practice.
I don't think he's cheating. In most healthcare fields, you have to demonstrate competency to graduate from a program. I don't know about hygienists, but it would make sense.
Because if they’re old and beat to shit it will cost more to fix hem than they are worth. They are thought to get rid of even if they are aluminum and you just want to scrap it. The aluminum is attached to too much other crap on a boat (wood, plastic, carpet). Scrappers will also pay less when the aluminum is painted. Just went thru this very nightmare a few months ago. Your best bet is just getting someone to haul it away for free.

'Why not cut it in pieces, make tables of it. Be creative. Or plates with wood on it. Think you can cut a lot of tables out of it, put some wheels underneath, brush the outside of the tube. Sell it.
Water would eventually frick it up but it could last quite a few years. Its purpose is to form a concrete cylinder and that's the best use for it. BTW if you can route the graywater easily the method many old farm houses use including mine is run your graywater to an open small oval or circular ditch to water plants in the center.
Less and easier digging is a bonus and if the yard floods during severe rain the open pipe end doesn't normally back up. I put a tee on the house side when I replaced my pipe which was installed in 1965 so I can run a hose down it (it's a longish run) to flush and sediment. Do that whatever you do. Cleanouts are love.

Or just take what you want, tell them you'll be back for another trip, and instead, move to Mexico, seek refuge in the Russian embassy, fly to Moscow and get thrown in a Gulag on suspicion of espionage, wait for Wagner to come calling, surrender to the Ukrainians, get exchanged with the US for a Brad, serve prison sentence, go home to your fridge, and hope this b***h didn't take a picture of your license plate as you were leaving.
Because it works. I have disposed of trash this way. It's also potentially hilarious when billy bob shows up with his clan and they use the galvanized conduit on top of his work truck as rollers like ancient egyptians.
Mostly it's just hard rubbish the owners can't be fricked dumping in a local lake, or items worth less than $5 added by crazy people.
Sometimes you get broken things listed by people who bought a broken item accidentally, accessories for expensive items the owner doesn't have, or things which the ownership of might be disputed.
Story time >grandma dies, rip. >cleaning up her old house >whats left is basically household sundry and old clothes >put a sort of garage sale up >assume local people might pick up a momento or poor people might take cooking utensils or whatever. >just post a photo of the boxes in an empty room
And so it began. >hundreds of spam messages >people turned up in person begging for the proceeds of the sales >one pretended my grandma owed them money >one tried to bully me into giving random objects which weren't even present >several people turned up, looked through the junk then left >about ten people drove a considerable distance to either try to buy the house, scam me into buying fake gold, crypto etc >one person dumped other boxes of junk on my front lawn hoping to get rid of them as well >two people grabbed a box (which were free), ran down the road as fast as they could, dumped all the stuff on a random persons lawn then left >yes, two different people did this >half these people hoped they could talk me into giving away things they assumed were in the house but were not for sale or listed. >the police came because of a neibours complaint over this disorderly conduct >one nice person got some books >a student got a bedside table
Then i took the rest of the stuff to the dump and said nothing about the generally bizarre behaviour.
That night the house was broken into, the house which was totally empty, and someone/ something pissed on the hall carpet.
I basically took some worthless stuff off of them, cleaned them up a bit and stuffed them into a storage container until I have more time to frick with them or get a moment of inspiration with what i want to use them for.
Nice truck. If I saw you on the road my first thought would be "he must have gotten those for cheap!"
Thanks man, she's a beast. 99 F-350 cab and chassis with a 9' flatbed. 4x4, V10, manual transmission. Gas engine is easy starting in the winter and warms up quickly so its nice for feeding cattle in the winter and hauling bales around.

Are you the guy who moved a shipping container with a gooseneck? I want a couple so bad to shove in my woods and seal up for storage but the delivery part hard cause my leach field is in the way.

Containers aren't heavy. I winched one of my 40ft High Cubes into my back yard by hand to clear power lines and placed the other three manually since that was easiest. Pulling a few thousand lbs is not a big deal. I have electric winches on my trucks but it was more convenient to pay out cable from those to anchor my manual puller for the move since the trucks would not have been in convenient spots.
I used four railroad ties (used later as end supports/steps). Stagger them and use pipe sections as rollers across all four. 4" or larger pipe preferred. As the load passes off one set of ties, move those by skidding them on more pipe or PVC.

I used my Wyeth-Scott manual puller anchored to various stumps with or without snatch blocks. You can buy wire rope and clamps to pull with a truck from well outside your fields if you use a snatch block on the other side.
Sound like gibberish? Study this and study off-road recovery.
Mechanical jacks are wonderful for lifting containers, I buy ancient Simplex (Duff-Norton latches suck but they do work) jacks cheap but hydraulic jacks and shims work if you have more patience than I do, and I'm very patient. Some places rent house jacks but I prefer to own.
If you can buy or rent ground mats/skid steer mats you can drive on those across your drain fields. There are many ways to do this stuff so start reading.
is there ever a downside to taking free stuff even if it's used to shit? harvest it for what you want from it or try to fix it and just toss the rest into the trash.
it only becomes a problem if you take it and don't throw away what you don't need and your yard becomes a hoarder's nest.
could be a few issues... low on refrigerant, but usually if its empty the compressor wont kick in cause usually theres a low pressure cutoff. could be a bad expansion valve, or the compressor could be toast
WAIT.. so if someone wants the house for free they can move it.. OR TEAR IT DOWN? so.. who would tear the house down for free? nobody is gonna want a free pile of old wood.. and there isnt enough scrap value in that to warrant paying to demo it and haul it away
>nobody is gonna want a free pile of old wood
I'm getting ready to build a home. If that house were close to me, I would absolutely jump on the opportunity.
Have you looked at the price of lumber? Or the quality of the shit being sold today? The stuff they used in construction up until the 1960s would be considered "furniture grade" today.
You also get: >Metal roof >Insulation >Doors >Piping >Toilet/Sinks/etc
You could probably scrap the wiring and shit for a few bucks, maybe reuse the windows for a greenhouse or something.
The rest of the crap like the old siding would go to the dump, but well worth it IMO.
bullshit, the poster just wants someone to demo the house for them for free. if you tear it down you have to haul away the debris. so seems like its gonna cost more than what its worth. people who post these things are counting on the uneducated dummies to do their shit work for free.
Surely you're baiting. But if they're happy to give you a month or two to "architecture salvage" the place go for it. >65 year old broken plumbing fixtures with no parts or restoration possibilities >custom soldered/crimped metal roof >insulation - have fun removing asbestos >lumber - remove tons of impossible to pull nails out of tight shrunk wood for a small amount of nicer pine than nowadays >wiring - asphalt coated 14ga 2 conductor that falls apart in your hands and has little scrap value
that's a bad idea. thing is probably full of asbestos as well. you'd need a full abatement before you could break anything. odds of breaking even considering that and the cost of haling it all away are pretty low.
I don't think the Mexican scrapers work in the rain. I stopped by and grabbed this after work and it was still there. Got 8 cents a pound on steel scrap the other day.
>ya good luck finding a way to empty those legally and or make anything out of it without thousands in investement.
Eh just gotta be in the right place at the right time and buy a spray foam insulation gun/mixer cheap. I've seen them sell at auction and bring next to nothing.
If a person did find a gun for cheap and the chemicals for free you could save yourself a hell of a lot of money, or do one big job and make some friggin bank. Just gotta get lucky once in awhile.
Just yesterday a flow meter on one of my irrigation pumps went out. Luckily I had bought a spare one for parts and was able to get it all going again because I need to have my pump running for over a month solid in order to get my water pumped before March 31st to get my water averages up and keep from losing any from winter storage. (government bullshit)
Anywho, was looking on E-bay for used meters and there is one used one on there for $450. So I said to myself if I run across any more used ones I would snatch them up. Well today I stopped by the local salvage/farm parts place and he had just gotten in 6 boxes each with at least one flow meter and some with two. From the couple I checked they are parts units, but that's all I need. Bought all 6 boxes of them for $300. Frick yeah! Sometimes shit just works out like that!
Are you the guy who moved a shipping container with a gooseneck? I want a couple so bad to shove in my woods and seal up for storage but the delivery part hard cause my leach field is in the way.
>Are you the guy who moved a shipping container with a gooseneck?
the furnace that was in my house when I purchased it was from the 50's, I had a high efficiency one installed in 2010 so far I had 2 mainboards fail and a hot surface igniter fail.
If anybody has a Trane XL90 or similar furnace these 2 caps fail, you can save yourself $400 by just replacing the bad components. I bet most of these washer and dryers failed because of something like bad caps and the replacement part cost and labor cost more than a new washer and dryer.
Not Craigslist. But found this cheap at a junk store. What exactly is this and what do all the lights mean? I just guessed about the status panel thing. But its made by Western Electric, has lots of cool lights and a beautiful mahogany box.
Line load control equipment in dial offices
provides a means by which lines considered essential to national defense and public
welfare may be assured of continuity of service
under overload conditions. This is accomplished
by temporarily denying originating service to
some or all of the lines not considered essential.
Operation:
To deny service to all class B or class C
lines operate the CLASS B or CLASS C
key to the REM LINES FROM SERV position
and in offices equipped with a MASTER key,
also momentarily operate this key. In order to
prepare for the restoral of lines the CLASS B
or CLASS C key should be operated to the
LOCK MAN OPR RELS position. Operate the
RA key in the cabinet to retire the alarm. All
the class B or class C cabinet lamps should
light indicating that all lines of that class have
been denied originating service.
tl;dr lets the phone operator deny civilian calls to prioritize govt agency calls in the event of telephone system overload
>Line Load Control unit. Interesting piece of kit.
Thanks, anon.
It's just the box with a bunch of lights and a couple of switches. Looks like someone just lopped off the cable running to the PBX equipment. I've got no practical use for this. But hooking the lights up to a random number shift generator will make a cool box for stoners to stare at. Must include the blinkenlights sign.

Yeah frick all that, cinderblocks are like $2 apiece and without having to break them apart, knock the mortar off or risk getting turned into a meat waffle
I've had to open up one too many of these that had old hunting meat or whatever in them. Frick those things.
https://i.imgur.com/9BHPAWv.jpg
I scored a free freezer on a local offer up listing. Testing now to see if it works. I'll probably make a thread if it's busted.
why do you want to frick around with broken compressor lines, refrigerant and all that shit. On top of that when you give up, you have to take it to hazard waste drop off.
Those are fun for onloading food on the ship. Stupid CSs set up wrong one time so the turn/corner piece wouldn't mount up... said it was so we could walk through. Effing morons.
Pending no one has popped holes in the metal, you cold bath it in caulking and it would be good to go from a water tight perspective. It looks fricking neat like the front of a boat.
That's a decent profit if you research practical models and their parts under sold listings on eBay

kek, greetings fellow cencal anon
everyone always says they can sell stuff for parts but the hassle of researching what's valuable (this could be days of reading articles and forums), taking everything apart, taking pictures, making listings for everything (potentially dozens of parts), responding to bullshit questions from figurative tirekickers, storing everything while you wait weeks or months for things to start moving, not to mention packing and shipping parts when you finally do get a sale, seems exhausting. I have a few things in my backyard I could try and part out, but thinking of the work makes me understand why people just give up and put it up for free just to get rid of it. your plan is probably what this guy tried until he realized the sheer amount of labor it would take to make a few hundred bucks when he could be using his time elsewhere.
This. I have so much shit that is just valuable not to throw away, but so much work to test, research, list, sell, ship, deal with bullshit.
Frick, even when you give up and offer it for free on CL.. well here is my listing https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/zip/d/glendale-diy-backsheet-and-eva-for/7579991044.html
I’ve talked to 5 people who have wasted my time trying to schedule times for pickup, back and forth calls, and then they ask questions like “how good do the solar panels work”.
90% of the replies I get are spam in the format of
>I want to pick this up today, can you text me at (number)
>do you still have (item) I can pick up today or tomorrow, pleas call me at (number)
So you have to sift through them to find the fakes.
This stuff is somewhat valuable, but the demand is rare. I’ve sold some on eBay, but shipping costs are so high it’s barely worth it. And now it’s all getting taxed twice : 10% sales tax, plus it all gets reported now, so that eats into my profits also, plus eBay charges, and promoting charges. This shit was free ( got it in bulk from closing solar plant ) and it’s just not worth dealing with.
Oh plus even better … eBay got rid of their free listing software, and during the pandemic I turned off my sales, and they all expired. I lost all the text on my listings, so I have to rewrite I dunno. 100 fricking items.
And Craigslist expires every 45 days, so you have to reupload all your photos, plus you have to constantly relist.
CL seems to suck now too, a lot less people use it. So you have to relist all this bullshit on Facebook marketplace, which is hell on earth. It’s just not worth it anymore. I used to buy shit at auctions, and would make 5-10k a year on the side. Now I just have a house full of crap that needs to be sold, no energy to do it all. It used to be if could buy something at 25% it’s value, sell it quickly at 50% value, it was worth it.
Cont
Giant increases in shipping cost, sales tax, and finally income tax.. frick it. Oh yeah, and Amazon has pushed out small sellers. Amazon used to be great for surplus reselling. Now you have to be a verified retailer for that brand, or they pull your shit down. Which is ironic, since Amazon was built on grey-market sales. It’s just disappointing. What used to be a fun and profitable hobby has turned into a shitty job that I have to do to keep clearing out my inventory
For CL free I usually just leave it outside the front of my house and say first come first serve. When I buy my own property I'd like something covered to keep that sort of stuff out of the rain.
Ebay is such a pain because I need to find a box, measure it, and weigh it just to get a shipping cost. And usually it's still way more than anybody is willing to pay. Seems the only way to move inventory is to list for extremely low prices (such that it's no longer a worthwhile use of my time) or to scalp desperate people with really high prices and leave the listing up for months or years.
"Hacking" USPS flat rate is worthwhile though, cramming heavy car parts into 70lb weight limit flat rate packaging. You can heat the padded envelopes to stretch them.
>Hacking" USPS flat rate is worthwhile though, cramming heavy car parts into 70lb weight limit flat rate packaging. You can heat the padded envelopes to stretch them.
Good tip on the heating. Didn’t know that. I use flat rate boxes for the bulk of stuff I was selling. But they raised the prices steadily over the years. I’ve learned how to pack mad shit inside those envelopes.
Yeah good call. This shit is at my dads, so I don’t want to put it all (30 boxes ) on his front yard and hope it disappears. I’m gonna put it out next big trash day. If people get it, fine. If not, fine.
parting stuff out is only "profitable" if you have nothing but free time. or if you're parting out a collectable car with a healthy and active community. even then, you're not getting rid of everything, you're gonna end up with a half-eaten rolling shell that's gonna take up space and be an eyesore.
That isn’t the only thing you can part out you know. Vintage audio, washer/dryer/dishwasher motherboards, vintage test equipment. Roombas and dyson stick vacuums. Portable AC units. It’s a pretty big list.
yeah, and all of that requires doing all the tasks I listed previously. parting stuff out only makes sense if you're spending all day sitting on your ass anyways. you're only getting quick turnaround on vehicle parts.
When the shell is empty call the scrapper. They pay you and drag it off. Many shops self included fill junkers with scrap parts for serious extra weight and everyone wins.
>This. I have so much shit that is just valuable not to throw away, but so much work to test, research, list, sell, ship, deal with bullshit.
Then it's not really valuable. Only COST-EFFECTIVE choices are good choices. Autism and hoarding are not.
the main problem is ebay now reports you as a small business to the irs if you sell more than $600. I only sell locally now but its much much slower
so lets say I buy a new laptop and want to sell the old one so someone else can get use of it.. lets say its worth $700 and I sell it for such. just average joe selling one item. so by selling this one item and nothing else, I am automatically a small business? I am sure there more to it than that. I doubt if someone who only sells stuff a few times a year would be classified as a small business if one of those items made them over 600 bucks.
>I am automatically a small business?
No. eBay will report your revenue. That doesn't make you a small business. When it comes time to file your taxes, you must declare all "other revenue" above a certain amount (exact amount depends on a lot of shit). This includes gambling earnings, gifts, anything you sell.
well according to the dipshit I replied to, anything you sell over $600 ebay reports you as a small business. obviously that guy is a tard
It’s reported as through you’re an independent contractor, not the same way gambling or income from a sole proprietorship is reported. AFAIK the term “small business” doesn’t really exist in the tax code.
Right. So you seem to have a problem with understanding the English language. Look at the difference between "reported as a small business" and "reported as if you were a small business." They can mean the same thing or different things depending on context. PrepHole is a very informal context. And obviously you don't magically become a small business because eBay says you are.
tl;dr - try to use your head for more then a hat rack.
The IRS delayed implementation of the $600+ requirement until 2024. So you have the rest of 2023 before 1099-K's start being required.
>I doubt if someone who only sells stuff a few times a year would be classified as a small business if one of those items made them over 600 bucks.
King Black person's gay lover changed the tax code and hired 87000 IRS agents to frick you just for this purpose.
aint frickin me cause I dont sell shit on ebay. nice try tho
You watch too much fox or /misc/. The whole point of the extra IRS people is to be able to go after bigger fish. Right now, IRS can catch that little shit, and it requires no training. What it can’t do is go after complicated tax situations. That’s why republicans are so against this, top 1% is more likely to get audited and caught.
Yeah all those fricking billionaires making bank selling garbage on eBay.
If they wanted to stop fricking the people they would just do it. They don't even need our money they just like doing it to fricking make us miserable
>The whole point of the extra IRS people is to be able to go after bigger fish
>That's right, goy! We can catch 22 billion transactions for a few dollars each that largely occur in the informal economy and in cash, but we can't catch a handful of multimillion dollar exchanges that occur in a well documented and low op-sec financial world with huge paper trails!
Go have a nice day
ahh yes the classic billionaire tax loophole selling $601 of junk on ebay holy frick you homosexual
Maybe I'm not explaining myself well. The IRS doesn't need more money to go after the easy low hanging fruit like me who don't pay their ebay taxes.
A computer will flag me, and if they do decide to audit it will be a quick matter. The person doing the audit will require the most minimal training.
This is what the IRS does now. They go after the small, easy to get fruit. Additionally, they are so heavily understaffed that they are significantly behind on returns. I have been waiting 2 years for my 2020 tax refund of $12,000. I don't have an accountant I can pay to sit on the phone for 6 hours trying to get through. So I give it an hour or two, and have to stop. I've been doing this on and off for the last year.
Give the IRS more funding will (hopefully) allow them to improve customer service which helps lower and middle class people. It impacts us MUCH MORE than upper class.
They have also stated that they need more and BETTER TRAINED people to go after the large and complex targets. Namely top 1%ers and corporations.
Look, if they get the money and this doesn't happen - we should all be pissed. But to hamstring the IRS only benefits the ultra rich. Which of course, is why republicans have to make up stupid shit like "we are arming the IRS!".
>gun training videos
>giving them guns at all
>why are you giving the irs guns
Well ysee if we raid al capone's hideout we might need the irs agent there with the rest of the cops so they know what papers to stop from being shredded first.
You.cant just send the cops in to arrest AL, then let the irs agents shift through pile?
No no, we need a lot of guns for that.
"Here's a story from the agency's official history from a more recent period. One agent was stabbed repeatedly with an ice pick. Another agent was offered $10,000 to murder the wife of one of the targets. This is not green-eyeshade stuff for accountants armed with calculators, thank you very much Congressman Gaetz. Increasingly this kind of work involves the really bad guys of a globalized criminal world, including drug dealers, terrorists, money launderers, and other kinds of people that you don't want to invite home for dinner."
There are like 2000 agents in the IRS that carry guns. Out of 80,000 full time employees. So tired of stupid right wing disinfo.
>One agent was stabbed repeatedly with an ice pick.
A good start to the end of a temporary agency
>There are like 2000 agents in the IRS that carry guns. Out of 80,000 full time employees. So tired of stupid right wing disinfo.
That's 2000 too many.
The FBI should be disassembled.
As in, each agent should be individually turned to ash after a legal trial.
they deserve it

Traditionally federal agencies have relied on local police to conduct raids. The thing is that more and more local agencies are telling the fed boys to frick off. It's partly because they don't want to be seen participating in jackbooted operations, and partly that they get treated like shit by the feds. A lot of times what happens is that the feds will call up and say they need to do a raid right fricking now, but the local cops would need to pull officers from other duties, authorize overtime, or activate SWAT. With tight budgets, that's hard to justify when the feds often refuse to reimburse the department for the costs of kicking down the door of a crooked accountant at 3 AM for no reason other than that they could.
>Give the IRS more funding will (hopefully) allow them to improve customer service which helps lower and middle class people
I have never read a more moronic opinion in my life.
But ok so why do they care if I sell shit I bought 15 years ago on ebay for a loss
There are people turning over tens of thousands of dollars of stuff on eBay and not reporting a cent of it.
Do you actually sell more than $600/year on eBay?
Gr8 b8 m8, i r8 8/8
All alphabet agencies can eat my butthole
Lol no. It's to frick the little guy. Big fish are scary and have lawyers, they don't touch them unless it's someone they really really want to frick like a gentile mobster.
You arent a small business but you have to file your taxes in the exact same way as one, which is difficult. Most people will hire an accountant at that point, you can do turbo tax but thats expensive too and its dogshit
You only pay taxes if you make money.
It's not hard to read the IRS's website and see that.
>its so easy bro you just need to keep the furniture store receipt from 14 years ago
>selling your dirty ass couch on ebay
>reporting this income to the IRS
yeah.. I dont think so. the fricking IRS isnt gonna tax me on selling used furniture.
once your ebay account has made $600 profit, they automatically send it to the IRS
good thing my ebay account has fake info and doesnt have my real name or address or any other personal identifiable information.
I doubt it. They closed down all my accounts that weren’t properly verified. Using fake information is a much more fricked up crime these days too, post 9-11 and post 2008 banking regulations. It’s probably considered wire fraud or some shit. 8kpkr
ive had my ebay account since before 9/11 so I dont give a shit what they verify for nowadays. never had any problems before. sucks to be you
Surprised to hear that. Have you been selling things? Hey stopped allowing me to receive payments until I verified both my PayPal and eBay accounts.
my ebay and paypal were verified before 9/11
if I change info on it they wont give a shit cause its already verified
frick the IRS
what is your mkultra trigger word?
They don't do Paypal payments anymore, the company that owns Paypal/eBay let go of Paypal. You have to attach your bank account now.
kek same thing for me on paypal
>p..pleasde verify your phone number and r-real name or we'll be angry
no
That is fricking crazy lmao. Yeah so I just sold a bunch of shit my from teen years but it was like 50 things that came out to like 1g. I have to name 50 adjustments or one big one. What a fricking joke
That's why craigslist is still around. Meet face to face. Cash only. Listing gets deleted.
The downside is dealing with tirekickers and really pathetic spam email attempts.
Hopefully the feddz won't start requiring CL to start tracking transactions. If so they'll with fold or become a paid service.
Lots of people in my area started using Zelle. They've refused to reveal any usage data of anyone so far and state right on their website they're not complying with the new IRS regs/won't be issuing 1099-Ks or tracking money movement because they believe their services are not covered by the new law.
Doesn't mean the IRS can't/won't take them to court but that's why everyone around me jumped off Paypal and whatnot.
they will cuck out. theyre just trying to grow their userbase right now.
>state right on their website they're not complying with the new IRS regs/won't be issuing 1099-Ks or tracking money movement because they believe their services are not covered by the new law.
honeypot
The government started screwing with Craigslist over there personals section claiming it was all about prostitution.
For a while there is was. Till about 2010.
You never prank called a craigslist hooker on your friends Sprint cell phone on speaker while all your buddies tried not to laugh because you convinced Krashawnda that you worked in local media and you needed guaranteed secrecy but willing to pay top dollar for her to dress up like Mortis the safety tortoise? And when you told her you want her to make turtle noises she sincerely asks "what noise a turtle be makin baby?"
>Yeah so I just sold a bunch of shit my from teen years but it was like 50 things that came out to like 1g.
I sold "barrel extensions" for paintball guns that were basically a silencer. I even listed the first one as a "silencer" and e-bay pulled it. They were essentially an empty aerosol can, and some pvc with slits in it and some fiberglass insulation stuffed into the can around the pvc. It would clamp onto the barrel of the paintball gun and did muffle the sound quite well. I probably sold 500 of those damn things at $25 a pop. I'm surprised I was never contacted by the ATF for that one, but I really was just a young dumb kid.
Also made about 8-10 T-maxx roll cages that sold for $60 a piece. Soon thereafter before I could really tool up for it the market got flooded with them.
Not bad for a 15-16 year old...
whats next. are they gonna send IRS agents to every community garage sale or bake sale and make them report any income over $600 and pay taxes on you selling your old ass dusty garage junk? this all has to be a joke really. if you are running a legitimate business on ebay sure you should pay your dues as a business owner. but if you just selling random junk to clear out your garage you arent a business. you are joe public homeowner.
frick the IRS frick the government and frick ebay
>agents to every community garage sale
Few people earn a living from garage or bake sales. IRS can ignore those for the most part. To many people were earning a living through eBay, Amazon and Newegg, so the IRS did something about it.
>buy from company
>responsible for the sales tax, not the seller
>resell item for less years later
>pay tax again
What the frick? Something is hardly even worth the effort of selling if it's not $500+.
That's fake right? Where is it from, the /ss/ training camp?

My repair guy says they have dozens of them; not profitable/sellable anymore, he says. I just recently replaced the brushes (twice...) and door gasket on mine for the first time in its about two decades.
Brushes wore unevenly, so now i have a couple of nearly new sticks I can use next time i need them replaced.
I'm in Europe, though.

Yes, Super Smash Bros autists will buy old CRTs for $50 a pop. More for the Trinitron flat screens.
>worth quite a bit
>Is there a market for them?
no and no
>worth quite a bit
Not to normies.
Oh look, people who arent keeping up with the reselling market at all.
"Retro gamers" have been buying CRTs for hugely inflated prices for the last 5-6 years. The same people who are blowing gigantic amounts of cash on sealed games and old consoles.
What about this? There's some really nice stuff here, I promise. The fact it's been sitting out in the yard for a month, during winter, has no bearing on anything. Do you know how much I paid for some of this stuff?
kek, forgot picture
I just saw this one. Personally I might go for the 50" inch TV on there right now
This is exactly why youll never make it anon.
The fact youve gone this long without even knowing there was an emerging market, which then exploded, for items that were plentiful and given away is telling.
I wonder how many other things youve missed the boat on.
I don't do meth, so I don't have the time or attention span to sit for days at a time and break down literal trash.
Im not exactly sure why you are equating your lack of ability to gauge markets with "breaking down literal trash"
Its not a time or attention span problem, you could smoke meth and be productive for 5 days in a row. You are clearly still too stupid to turn a profit.
Not him but you could smoke meth and jerk off chronically for three days in a row too
>Not him but you could smoke meth and jerk off chronically for three days in a row too
I can do that without the meth.
>Specific model CRT sometimes maybe worth something
>Pile of shit TV on craigslist that actually looks like a DLP is worth anything
Yeah I know some CRTs are worth something, you are a moron for thinking they are ALL worth something
Old CRTs are worth something, but only in specific cases.
Things worth money:
Sony Trinitron CRTs
High quality studio monitors
Original branded CRTs*
*Things like Apple computer monitors, Commodore computer monitors, Atari computer monitors, that kind of shit. People want a matching display for their vintage computer. 'PC' computer monitors aren't worth shit though, generally.
Things that are worthless:
Literally everything else.
RCA, Sanyo, GE, Zenith, Philips, Samsung etc. Take it to the dump. You might be able to get a few bucks for a Toshiba or JVC set but probably not.
People still play old computer and video games. They look best on 4:3 displays. Old games also often took advantage of the dithering effect CRTs provided. Picture related. They also have next to no input lag and fantastic blacks. LCDs also have trouble with the very low resolutions some of these old systems used. So, there is a use case for them. At least for now. Maybe true LED displays will push them out but as long as the LCD is the 'best' thing on the market there will still be some demand for CRTs.
>some are worth HUGE amounts of money, therefore there is 0 demand for anything else.
Doesnt work that way, not every retro gamer can afford a Trinitron, thats reserved for years deep into the hobby. Those people bought that shit years ago.
Every nostalgia seeker and teen got into the game at the same time.
People buy what they can get, and when Goodwill put the axe down on CRTs, the supply dried up immediately.
Its a cycle, you cant donate it, so you dont even bother to try and sell it.
It just so happened the huge demand for them came only a few years later.
The last 4 years ive sold all sorts of random garbage brand TVs, people slurp them right up.
I'm in the hobby. I only buy Sonys because it is easier to keep track of what is good and what isn't. I have a 1981 Trinitron that my family bought new. I use it for second gen systems. I then have a 19 inch flat screen Trinitron that I use for third gen systems, as it has RCA inputs. I paid $50 for it back in 2010 just as I got back into the hobby. I then have a 24 inch flat screen that I use for fourth gen systems, as it has S-video. I paid $40 for it about a year ago. Even came with the original remote. Finally I have a 34 inch, 200 pound monster that I use for newer systems, as it has HDMI input. I picked it up 10 years ago or so for $40 and it also came with its original remote. I don't live in a hugely populated area so CL and Facebook are kinda dead but you can find stuff if you keep an eye out.
This 100%, people will buy any brand CRT if they're the desktop 14"ish size or smaller. I've probably made an extra 1k in the last 400 days by pulling over and picking up a smaller ish CRT if I see one, wipe it down, and take pictures. I Aim for 100 bucks a pop after fees and shipping (buyer pays). Only reason this actually works is because there's always extra boxesand packing material jn my company's shipping department that they would otherwise throw out.
If you can pack and ship and tape up the CRTs with extra shit you get from your company that would be thrown out it's well worth it.
>Zenith
The older ones are bullet proof. However when compared to a trinitron they are worth it.
that graphics comparison is really interesting. i assume it is the same image but first is on lcd, second, on crt.
add >100khz scanning frequency to the list
>"Retro gamers" have been buying CRTs for hugely inflated prices for the last 5-6 years.
You will not sell a heavy piece of shit like that, I guaran-fricking-ty you. There are a few CRTs that are worth a lot of money, though, but they're the really collectible ones from particular manufacturers.
A working 32" CRT TV that's as old as the one in your picture is worth $0-20.
If it were vintage and in good condition it might be worth more.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?kw=32%22+trinitron&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1
>if this TV still works or can be fixed it's worth quite a bit
either this is bait or you haven't been inside a store since 1998
if you tried to donate that TV to Goodwill they would tell you no thanks, even if they priced it at $10 nobody would buy it
literally all TV shows and movies are in widescreen format (16:9 ratio) and meanwhile that TV is square (4:3 ratio). It's completely useless and has been for almost 20 years
these are valuable solely to smash nerds and smash nerds have no money
oh snap a israelite fro wig
Damn I used to live like 5 minutes from there, guess I'm missing out.
I always wanted a real piano but first I need a house big enough to have room for a piano
Literally me everytime I see a piano, synth or organ
god Mission Hill was such a great show
I’ve been watching it once a year since I moved out my parents place to see how my life compares to Andy’s. So far so good
Pianos just waste space and people don't want to pay to move them. Were it mine to dispose of I take shit like that apart to move the pieces easily.
It's pretty rare for me to browse cl free and not see at least one piano.
Dont do it.
I was "gifted" a piano by the mother-in-law and the thing is a legit back breaker.
>he's not from a country with porch pianos
I doubt this house is big enough
>hall away

i would go there just to tell these morons they cant spell. then take a piss on the RVs tires and leave
You would be murdered and rightly so.
>You would be murdered and rightly so.
LOL. right.
Those are at least $4K to dispose of legally. It's why scumbag people abandon them in forests and rural roads. They litter with their poor life choices and leave the county to pay for the cleanup.
>Those are at least $4K to dispose of legally.
Where? It wouldn't cost me more than a hundred buck in landfill fees, and it would be free if I cut it up into pieces I could drop off at my local recycle centers. I've done this shit before with a school bus, box trucks and RV trailers (I harvest axles of course).
That style is easy to scrap or sell but only for people who can move them and someone with a wrecker or big rollback will but not worth it for a noob.
I'd cut it up, drop off non-metallic sections at my local landfill then keep or sell the axles and drivetrain. Not hard for one with experience but not remotely worth it otherwise. RVs magically shrink quite a bit when you cut them up. Looks like it began life as a dually so more parts for my wreckers.
I hate low-IQ trash.

Reminds me of the time I took in a rooster and ate it the next week, a month later they called me to see how the rooster was doing and their kids wanted to see it so I lied and said a pitbull ate it. That same week I saw a pitbull dead on the side of the interstate. OOPS

That's about $3.60 from the bottle depot 'round here
Yup kids these days dont know the value of a dollar *revs up ford f-250 in preparation of my long distance drive to the guys house then to the bottle depot then back to my place*
that's a 20 dollar bill all day
I brew my own beer and use old corona bottles too
If the bloke was close I'd consider grabbing them
no cool free shit near me ever
that would be gone in 5 seconds here in Alaska
i would take it...
As would I though I much prefer my shipping containers I could use it as storage or scrap it if scrap is high at the time.
If it wasn't worth towing I'd cut it up on the spot to scrap the aluminum then cut up the chassis and scrap or keep whatever was useful from that. It's quick to do but if the rest is that nice I'd see about having it towed since my wreckers are light duty.
I would go there and tell his professor that hes begging for patients to cheat his graduation just to get him in trouble
only because dentists are so fricking expensive and he deserves punishment!
don't be a bucket crab
How's he cheating by asking for a specific type of patient? It's not his fault that none of them walked into the clinic while he was getting practice. If anything it should be the universities/educators duty to make sure students get the necessary practice.
Quick question anon, are you israeli?
I don't think he's cheating. In most healthcare fields, you have to demonstrate competency to graduate from a program. I don't know about hygienists, but it would make sense.
Why so many free boats ?
Because if they’re old and beat to shit it will cost more to fix hem than they are worth. They are thought to get rid of even if they are aluminum and you just want to scrap it. The aluminum is attached to too much other crap on a boat (wood, plastic, carpet). Scrappers will also pay less when the aluminum is painted. Just went thru this very nightmare a few months ago. Your best bet is just getting someone to haul it away for free.
hem = them
thought = tough
the fact you had to post another post to correct your previous post just shows what a tard you are and should forget life.
So edgy.
As long as the trailer goes with it I'd take it
>As long as the trailer goes with it I'd take it
You see those 2 trailer tires up front? I think it's more of a sled than a trailer now.
I can get decent used utility trailer tires for like $10 apiece
Why so much work for a trailer?
Unless the trailer is a good one and you have a boat for it they're not worth it. Smol boat trailers tend to be trash.
BTW if you ever want to harvest an inboard drive train just cut up the boat with a chain saw and cordless recip saw. Done that for fun to help my bro.
>Why so many free boats ?
when the illegals come ashore, the boats have to go somewhere.
Sometimes you just have to share the wealth.
i dont see the problem, if the boats are free why not use one until it shits the bed then strip it for parts and sink it in the lake and replace it with another free junk boat?
Boat and trailer have to be registered, so 2 fees each time. There's costs at every turn. Boating can be fun, but not worth it in my opinion.
What are the odds the moorage would jump in with salvage fees if you went to float it
Boats are difficult and expensive to get rid of. Fiberglass has zero 2nd hand, recycle, or scrap value.
The two best days in a boat owners life?
The day he buys it
And the day he sells it.

Water would eventually frick it up but it could last quite a few years. Its purpose is to form a concrete cylinder and that's the best use for it. BTW if you can route the graywater easily the method many old farm houses use including mine is run your graywater to an open small oval or circular ditch to water plants in the center.
Less and easier digging is a bonus and if the yard floods during severe rain the open pipe end doesn't normally back up. I put a tee on the house side when I replaced my pipe which was installed in 1965 so I can run a hose down it (it's a longish run) to flush and sediment. Do that whatever you do. Cleanouts are love.
"let me use your dump trailer for free, thx"
poster gave the street name sure it wouldnt be hard to locate this without contacting them. drive up grab that fridge and any metal and haul ass. what are they gonna do call the cops because you didnt haul away their trash? lol
Or just take what you want, tell them you'll be back for another trip, and instead, move to Mexico, seek refuge in the Russian embassy, fly to Moscow and get thrown in a Gulag on suspicion of espionage, wait for Wagner to come calling, surrender to the Ukrainians, get exchanged with the US for a Brad, serve prison sentence, go home to your fridge, and hope this b***h didn't take a picture of your license plate as you were leaving.
>call don't text
why ? landline ?
Tempting... which it was an older style truck cab.
Those are straight up worth scrapping but they likely drove in so they'd part out then scrap for more money to a salvor.
Someone with a large wrecker etc will get those or even a small rollback and cutting torch if the owner will permit onsite demo.
why the frick are the majority of these things just some chucklefrick trying to rope someone into hauling their garbage away for them?
One man's trash..
Because it works. I have disposed of trash this way. It's also potentially hilarious when billy bob shows up with his clan and they use the galvanized conduit on top of his work truck as rollers like ancient egyptians.

Just saw this today. Don't got room for it, but it'd be fun project for a engine/trans swap.
Mostly it's just hard rubbish the owners can't be fricked dumping in a local lake, or items worth less than $5 added by crazy people.
Sometimes you get broken things listed by people who bought a broken item accidentally, accessories for expensive items the owner doesn't have, or things which the ownership of might be disputed.

Lol. Where did this happen and who were these people (what race/ethnicity/cultural association)
America. Americans.
for real though, where in america?
you dumb b***hes are straying away from the actual threads topic. who cares about some government dicksuckers. fricking hell. shut the frick up
My strategy to filter out flakes is things must be picked up the same day as contact. No waiting until the weekend. Those subhumans usually ghost you.
Also a little back and forth before I give them the address. Usually just tell them the city and see if they commit to a time.
I'm not trying to give good junk to a scrap merchant.
That would make a good safe. Nobody could move it.
>scrap metal
thats like $35 in scrap metal. adding the time to move it and take it to a scrap yard and gas... youd break even
>thats like $35 in scrap metal
I could make that much selling my soul to Mr. Goldstein.
>525 pounds of scrap metal
Probably 50 pounds of metal and 475 pounds of diatomaceous earth.
Yup. Filled with plaster, sheetrock, or concrete. That is where the majority of the weight is.
>475 pounds of diatomaceous earth.
I'd take it just for that, that shit is expensive.
Frick. I actually need one of those.
Hello fellow fresyes
I remember a lathe or something extremely useful but heavy as frick being given away

"I need somebody to haul off my remodeling debris"
Someone tell me why this is a bad idea
Its not. I picked up a couple of them in a previous "free shit on craigslist" thread. There are some good parts on them.
You the guy with the flatbed that got three of them?
That was my thread, I started the first of these threads lol
>You the guy with the flatbed that got three of them?
Yup...
Nice truck. If I saw you on the road my first thought would be "he must have gotten those for cheap!"
That's cool
What did you end up doing with them?
I basically took some worthless stuff off of them, cleaned them up a bit and stuffed them into a storage container until I have more time to frick with them or get a moment of inspiration with what i want to use them for.
Thanks man, she's a beast. 99 F-350 cab and chassis with a 9' flatbed. 4x4, V10, manual transmission. Gas engine is easy starting in the winter and warms up quickly so its nice for feeding cattle in the winter and hauling bales around.
Are you the guy who moved a shipping container with a gooseneck? I want a couple so bad to shove in my woods and seal up for storage but the delivery part hard cause my leach field is in the way.
Containers aren't heavy. I winched one of my 40ft High Cubes into my back yard by hand to clear power lines and placed the other three manually since that was easiest. Pulling a few thousand lbs is not a big deal. I have electric winches on my trucks but it was more convenient to pay out cable from those to anchor my manual puller for the move since the trucks would not have been in convenient spots.
I used four railroad ties (used later as end supports/steps). Stagger them and use pipe sections as rollers across all four. 4" or larger pipe preferred. As the load passes off one set of ties, move those by skidding them on more pipe or PVC.

I used my Wyeth-Scott manual puller anchored to various stumps with or without snatch blocks. You can buy wire rope and clamps to pull with a truck from well outside your fields if you use a snatch block on the other side.

Mechanical jacks are wonderful for lifting containers, I buy ancient Simplex (Duff-Norton latches suck but they do work) jacks cheap but hydraulic jacks and shims work if you have more patience than I do, and I'm very patient. Some places rent house jacks but I prefer to own.
If you can buy or rent ground mats/skid steer mats you can drive on those across your drain fields. There are many ways to do this stuff so start reading.
is there ever a downside to taking free stuff even if it's used to shit? harvest it for what you want from it or try to fix it and just toss the rest into the trash.
it only becomes a problem if you take it and don't throw away what you don't need and your yard becomes a hoarder's nest.

That story was great for publicity and probably the reason I started using Craigslist.
I love how no one was actually able to recreate it. Even anime shits on the story. Also who trades even a shitty house for a role in a B movie?
Trade a cinder block, he picks up.
It's free real estate
WAIT.. so if someone wants the house for free they can move it.. OR TEAR IT DOWN? so.. who would tear the house down for free? nobody is gonna want a free pile of old wood.. and there isnt enough scrap value in that to warrant paying to demo it and haul it away
>nobody is gonna want a free pile of old wood
I'm getting ready to build a home. If that house were close to me, I would absolutely jump on the opportunity.
Have you looked at the price of lumber? Or the quality of the shit being sold today? The stuff they used in construction up until the 1960s would be considered "furniture grade" today.
You also get:
>Metal roof
>Insulation
>Doors
>Piping
>Toilet/Sinks/etc
You could probably scrap the wiring and shit for a few bucks, maybe reuse the windows for a greenhouse or something.
The rest of the crap like the old siding would go to the dump, but well worth it IMO.
bullshit, the poster just wants someone to demo the house for them for free. if you tear it down you have to haul away the debris. so seems like its gonna cost more than what its worth. people who post these things are counting on the uneducated dummies to do their shit work for free.
How bout show up to tear it down, don't haul the derbs, leave.
Sounds like a good time to me.
Surely you're baiting. But if they're happy to give you a month or two to "architecture salvage" the place go for it.
>65 year old broken plumbing fixtures with no parts or restoration possibilities
>custom soldered/crimped metal roof
>insulation - have fun removing asbestos
>lumber - remove tons of impossible to pull nails out of tight shrunk wood for a small amount of nicer pine than nowadays
>wiring - asphalt coated 14ga 2 conductor that falls apart in your hands and has little scrap value
that's a bad idea. thing is probably full of asbestos as well. you'd need a full abatement before you could break anything. odds of breaking even considering that and the cost of haling it all away are pretty low.
>fair condition

BRAAAAAAP
I don't think the Mexican scrapers work in the rain. I stopped by and grabbed this after work and it was still there. Got 8 cents a pound on steel scrap the other day.
how is that even worth the gas to pick up for scrapping?
It wouldn't be, but I would want the burner covers. I make Swedish stoves out of them
660 gallons of foam insulation chemicals and some pallets. ive never seen anything like this for free before.
ya good luck finding a way to empty those legally and or make anything out of it without thousands in investement.
>ya good luck finding a way to empty those legally and or make anything out of it without thousands in investement.
Eh just gotta be in the right place at the right time and buy a spray foam insulation gun/mixer cheap. I've seen them sell at auction and bring next to nothing.
If a person did find a gun for cheap and the chemicals for free you could save yourself a hell of a lot of money, or do one big job and make some friggin bank. Just gotta get lucky once in awhile.
Just yesterday a flow meter on one of my irrigation pumps went out. Luckily I had bought a spare one for parts and was able to get it all going again because I need to have my pump running for over a month solid in order to get my water pumped before March 31st to get my water averages up and keep from losing any from winter storage. (government bullshit)
Anywho, was looking on E-bay for used meters and there is one used one on there for $450. So I said to myself if I run across any more used ones I would snatch them up. Well today I stopped by the local salvage/farm parts place and he had just gotten in 6 boxes each with at least one flow meter and some with two. From the couple I checked they are parts units, but that's all I need. Bought all 6 boxes of them for $300. Frick yeah! Sometimes shit just works out like that!
>Are you the guy who moved a shipping container with a gooseneck?
Yup.
>Please take my chemicals away for free so I dont have to pay to dispose of them and because the average person will have no use for them otherwise
Yeah.. another poster relying on the stupidity of others to take their useless stuff for free.
My washer and dryer are from the early 90's why are these POS appliances broken?
Because they're newer
Now shit is made to break
the furnace that was in my house when I purchased it was from the 50's, I had a high efficiency one installed in 2010 so far I had 2 mainboards fail and a hot surface igniter fail.
If anybody has a Trane XL90 or similar furnace these 2 caps fail, you can save yourself $400 by just replacing the bad components. I bet most of these washer and dryers failed because of something like bad caps and the replacement part cost and labor cost more than a new washer and dryer.
I had a dishwasher that had some SMD fuses which didn't di anything. The cpu blew up.
>Now shit is made to break
They said the same thing in the 90s. And the 80s. And the 70s.
I feel like I could use these for something

Line Load Control unit. Interesting piece of kit
Desc:
Line load control equipment in dial offices
provides a means by which lines considered essential to national defense and public
welfare may be assured of continuity of service
under overload conditions. This is accomplished
by temporarily denying originating service to
some or all of the lines not considered essential.
Operation:
To deny service to all class B or class C
lines operate the CLASS B or CLASS C
key to the REM LINES FROM SERV position
and in offices equipped with a MASTER key,
also momentarily operate this key. In order to
prepare for the restoral of lines the CLASS B
or CLASS C key should be operated to the
LOCK MAN OPR RELS position. Operate the
RA key in the cabinet to retire the alarm. All
the class B or class C cabinet lamps should
light indicating that all lines of that class have
been denied originating service.
tl;dr lets the phone operator deny civilian calls to prioritize govt agency calls in the event of telephone system overload

It's just the box with a bunch of lights and a couple of switches. Looks like someone just lopped off the cable running to the PBX equipment. I've got no practical use for this.
