RE: DIY Recycling For Income (Bonus Trick Included) - More 100% Free Inventory Saved & Sold For $887 - Help OUR Environment!
Good work bud. It is amazing how our culture has become more of a "throw it away" and buy a replacement, instead of trying to fix it. Good to see you doing your part to help the environment and making a few bucks while you're at it.
Thank you. Exactly! I've also learned so much about fixing/troubleshooting from this stuff. It's satisfying to have an outlet for problem solving when there's a fiscal reward attached to it if I succeed. If I don't, then the task is to salvage as much as possible that's valuable and make money from those elements, which can often/ironically be worth more that the entire thing in working order. For example, a complete and working printer can sell for $100, but its printhead will sell for $95. Go figure.
It's depressing, but mostly comical to see why people throw some stuff out when I find and resolve an issue. Many things are actually perfect and were tossed for a replacement as you said, so it's like a 1 inch putt.
