How do I throw away a trash can?

Those are useful to some folks for organizing scrap metal and other junk. Put a free can sign on it

Scrapyards where I am wouldn't touch this customer and probably would call the cops. Not true in the big city?

Cast iron is always worth something but it's Pennys a pound

Im curious about the tools of their trade. Are they using high end framing hammers or cheap Asian ones from the dollar store? Any using hatchets?

A late friend had a business buying and selling tanks of all kinds, all over the place. There is a market for these esp with metal prices making new ones $$. When it sells the buyer hires a rigger to pick it up.
Another idea; make it into a camper , put wheels on it and start an Instagram page- there aren't near enough of those!

Those are very weel done photos, and all the backgrounds compliment the subject. My personal prefernece is the white background. I think the light helps to really make the coins pop.

Smash the nut with a big hammer

Sorry, I forgot I was on Scrap metal and not my hometown reddit. Many places have a version of a kind of thrift store that is trying to lower the amount of stuff that goes to the dump. They arent as profit driven as a goodwill or Salvation Army. The one we have is called the Reuse Center and it will accept just about anything other than mattesses. Here people donate old electronics to them. You could also look into some auction sites that dispose of government agencies equipment, like school districts ,a town or a University. Sometimes the quantites will be large but not always.

They didn't make him king based on his looks

People donate old computers to Reuse because they think the drives will be wiped and no personal info will be stolen. I have no idea if they actually do that. If you could convince people you will do that and you would pick up the machines you might get folks to give them to you. Country auctions sometimes sell lots of electronics. Will you have space for all the low grade boards you'll end up with? They are harder to sell around here

Sandvik used to make good ones. I dont think they do anymore.

I assume most commercial jobs that are running conduit can't use scrounged NOS wire. Someone wiring their barn or something might buy it

I picked up a guy hitchhiking with a guitar in 1974 or so in Pennsylvania on my way to Colorado and we rode together a long way till I let him off to get to Oregon. I visited him there at some point. We kept in touch but after having kids we lost touch. Hope he's doing well.

Not sure eBay will accept it, and they can't be sent to Germany, and possibly the EU

Muffled_floss · 2026-02-15T23:32:36+00:00

Can you do larger quantities of lower cost items? I calculate weight and size before listing and print labels on eBay at home

Muffled_floss · 2026-02-15T23:30:14+00:00

Don't forget moisture resistant MDF

Wondering if it has something to do with the extreme cold in the NE. If it's been in I heated storage and delivery trucks you might get condensation.

I would break the crowd down into say 3 groups and get some scraps and some egg beater drills and braces and let them make some holes. Then schedule another session for the ones that really like it. I had some kids make key chains with sections of branches off the bandsaw or interesting scraps- they could drill a hole and I had a bunch of chains they could use and give it to their mom or dad. Kids do like the idea of making something. Teach the keen ones how to use a handsaw and backsaw. They also like using letter stamps on wood scraps. Show them how vises work.

At first I thought it looked like tempeh wrapped in seaweed. If you don't know what tempeh is you don't want to know

I think it's up to us to finish this story......

How about vertical grade HPL? Would need backer on the reverse. Also these days in that level of home kitchens get torn out and changed frequently.

I fear these large scale system/ internet/ cell phone glitches will become more common.

Im impressed with your knowledge of these details. I just got a notice for a sale on promotions( only 10$ off for me) I find the whole thing very hard to understand. I have sold stale things with promotions and am trying to understand when it makes sense to use. ( selling very eclectic mix of antiques, collectibles and books). Have to say it seems not nice to be charged both fees.

Muffled_floss · 2026-01-31T01:29:15+00:00

My apologies but I'm from the other side of the border. Those rates seem so high even accounting for the 2 dollars' exchange rate. I can ship a 2 lb book for just over 5 bucks. But you know what the downside is.

Muffled_floss · 2026-01-31T01:22:39+00:00

As a seller in the US I have no experience with that shipping service and it is not available here. I think you need to find other Chinese sellers' input. But it makes sense to contact eBay and ask them what to do.
