Thanks! Even if you find something partially broken or with the cord cut, the parts can sometimes make nearly as much as if you sold the entire thing. Parts for discontinued or vintage products can be hard to find, so there's a premium on them.

There's also a thrift store that throws out items "deemed not of value" that was a gold mine for years until others caught on. I avoid the competition now, but complained to the store's manager last month about how many amazing items they've tossed because the store could help their cause with them, especially in the spirit of those who donated the items with those intentions.

She was quite rude about it, so I countered by saying that I'd been selling her discarded items for years for thousands of dollars. The shock on her face was literally like seeing a ghost. It was a priceless moment and I have a hunch it's impacted her process as I've seem more items on the shelves that I'd usually find outside.
