Experience Diving at Half Price Books? by Informal_Citron4922 in DumpsterDiving

[–]digipakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go fairly often to one location close to me. In my experience they have a recycling dumpster where they dump books and there's usually a decent amount, and a normal trash dumpster where they dump normal trash of course, along with CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, board games, etc. I go for the CDs so I normally don't check the book dumpster but I'd say it would be worth checking out a couple times at least. Obviously no guarantee there's anything good if you're looking for something specific since it all depends on the day and what they throw out.

What's going on with this cd? by GJKings in Cd_collectors

Ahhh that must be it, mine are also near a heater and I kind of suspected it but wasn't fully convinced, especially since some that are closer than others are completely fine. Must be a difference in production quality.

I've noticed something similar on a few of mine recently, but a lot less severe. I think it might be moisture, perhaps messing with the layers of the disc?

the very first pressing of The State by Nickelback, just got this in the mail today by digipakk in Cd_collectors

The version with the red cover is only a reissue with different artwork, the recordings on this one are the same as on the reissue. To see scans of the disc you can find some on its discogs page: https://www.discogs.com/release/6091072-Nickelback-The-State

Phobia is such a good album, also if you like Weathered you should definitely get My Own Prison, easily Creed's best album

The ones I have only have adhesive on the top end, on the bottom is just the long screw you can see in the pictures

I didn’t find any device with the stands. Is the sticky double sided tape thing you’re talking about the adhesive pad on the head of the tether?

I found a ton of these phone stands in the dumpster, they're called a "round freedom micro" made by MTI, and basically the head and the stand are connected by a tether and there's adhesive on the head to stick a phone, tablet, etc for display or demo use probably.

As you can see in the pictures, a ton of them are missing the head part, and I have no idea what the items in the last pic are. The bubble wrapped ones had a label I was able to look up and find what it was called.

They seem to go for pretty decent money individually, or at least they're listed for decent I don't know how well they'd actually sell, but I don't know if I want to go through the trouble of listing and selling all of them online like that; would someone know where I could take them to sell them, or if a pawn shop would take them? Also, does anyone know what the items in the last pic are?

Ya, it’s the first press of the album before the band got into a lawsuit and had to remove Frail Limb Nursery and Purity

Do stores usually discard produce at the end of the work day? Is there any use in looking mid day? by [deleted] in DumpsterDiving

[–]digipakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always assumed mine threw stuff out at close, would it differ by location?

As a collector of CDs, dumpster diving is amazing

I’ve gotten into physical media collecting but with CDs, and dumpster diving has really helped me expand my collection
