FREECYCLING FINDS: An iPod Nano Sold For $70! Citi Mini Stroller, Dyson Vacuum, Plasma TV, Office Lamps, Coffee Maker...

On top of thrifting during business hours, I hunt the nearby curbs near my apartment to find lots of valuable items put out for recycling. So many things are sitting there in plain view, or in a clear plastic bag, to see easily and bring home to sell.

Here are just a few finds from the last week or two, noting that I was miserably sick for about a week and didn't go much. Unless stated, all estimates are in revenue, meaning that seller fees and shipping costs have not been removed yet.

When you see a white Apple cable, pull on it...

Found a working iPod Nano with tons of songs in a clear bag of electronics. The protective case kept it near mint. It had a camera and a music speaker. Quickly sold for $70 for $60.57 profit.

Proof

This Panasonic Plasma TV has a valuable board inside that sells for up to $200 if working. I'll certainly sell it for parts at $75 since the TV showed a startup error (already have a watcher).

I sold the TV's stand for $48 so far ($33.41 profit), and the motherboard will sell for $30 for parts.

Hello. Are you money?

Yes, you are... a top end complete Dyson vacuum (newer cinetic model).

The vacuum's brushroll motor was burned out, so I parted it out. The canister will sell for $60, main motor for $35, hose for $25, brushroll for $25, and soleplate for $22. There are several other parts in the $15-$30 range I may or may not list, but they're on standby. If the one small motor worked, I could sell this for $200 used altogether, but shipping would be near $30-40 depending on zip distance.

A box of lamp parts... huh? I took 5 of them that were in great shape.

See those round bases? Well from the same spot, I previously found a stack of 10 of them brand new in their boxes and sold them for $494.40 ($375 profit)! I can't test the lamps, but I'm listing them for $40 each ($200 total) untested/as is, since they're expensive if working. Already have a watcher.

What they look like...

Baby Jogger Stroller & Keurig Commercial Coffee Maker.

Stroller is an easy $80 cash on Craigslist since it's in great shape. The coffee maker was "overheated", but I can sell the water tank for $40.

Lots of free money and plenty saved for the environment by salvaging usable products.

This is just a snapshot. I found plenty more, but I have to save some of my secrets for now...

Ask any questions and follow for more.
