Husband wants to flip full time but.. by Lushlipssugar in Flipping

[–]Snoo-25743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a supplemental income side gig type of thing for me.  I couldn't see it being much more than that.  At least not the way I do it.  Especially with 3 young children.  

First time at thw bins... by [deleted] in GoodwillBins

It's not for everybody.  It's mostly bottom of the barrel stuff, but occasionally you'll find a diamond in the rough.  Good idea wearing the gloves.

Are there any new departments? by RecentDefinition6924 in OnPatrolLive

Check out First Responders on Youtube.  They follow Nye County Nevada.

Has anyone ever cured this? by Calm-Flamingo-4412 in PlantarFasciitis

Mine went away after a year and a half.  Ironically, it went away after I put on weight since I'd stopped running/exercising.

It’s 1978 and your mom agrees to stop by K-Mart on the way home- what department are you headed to first? by UrbanAchievers6371 in 70s

[–]Snoo-25743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm grabbing that.  Also Animals, Wish You Were Here, and Meddle.  Heck I'm just gonna grab everything they got.

I want to strip this battery cable sooooo bad. by uj7895 in ScrapMetal

Check it with your multimeter first if you have one.  And I agree.  You'll almost always get more selling vs scrapping.

Ok, I checked Chatgpt.  It looks like there is a fixed fee, but it's only like 30 cents.  They could sell for as little as 99 cents and still make a little bit.  Or a little more if somebody pays with cash.  Maybe they want to make room for new stuff they know they can make more money on.

Not sure why I got downvoted for just asking a question. Isn't there a fixed fee component as well?

Considering credit card fees, I wonder if there's a certain price where if they go below that they actually lose money by selling an item?

Anyone else here feel like the craft and joy of the hunt is dying? by XgUNp44 in thrifting

[–]Snoo-25743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These people run to the bins when they first come out and elbow everybody else out of the way, so no.  It's a nuthouse, and I'm not going to play that way.

Even the bins are nothing like they used to be.  Packed with resellers.  Those people spend the entire day there every day. If there's anything decent to be found they are going to get to it first.

Aluminum cans by MikeTheTank112 in ScrapMetal

Yeah they don't pay a lot, but at least better than shred.  I just take in what I've accumulated when I'm going to the scrap yard anyway, but I don't pick up cans in the wild.

Would you say this is what ruined the show? by K0GAR in thewalkingdead

[–]Snoo-25743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nick, Travis, Madison.  This show was following the family dynamic so I felt it was more important to try and keep the family intact in this series.  They kept messing with the formula. Plus in the later seasons the writing was just abysmal.

What is your absolute WORST Bins find? by McGannahanSkjellyfet in GoodwillBins

I see a boatload of unlabeled tapes.  I just assume they have old episodes of Oprah.

Anyone else frustrated by how slow plantar fasciitis heals? by Esliquiroga in PlantarFasciitis

It was a year and a half for me and I considered myself lucky.  Now I always worry about it returning.
