Thank you. This is just a slice. I've sold thousands of things from the curbs in this fashion and have tons I haven't sold/listed yet.

~80% of the items need either no clean up or a wipe down with rubbing alcohol at most. This is to freshen them up, remove the dust, or get rid of surface scuffs. It's amazing how 30 seconds of rubbing alcohol on the right surface can make something look brand new.

Things like vacuum cleaners/appliance parts, or things list espresso/coffee makers, do also call for rubbing alcohol to remove surface scuffs/stains, but usually a solid rinse through. It's super easy. For example, many people toss high-end vacuums because of a simple clog, so some brief troubleshooting is involved, or rinsing a hose out with water is called for. If something isn't fit for selling or can't be cleaned well, I'll salvage whatever parts I can and spruce them up. If that's the case, I usually don't take the former with me when hunting around.

If I find medical devices, which I often do, I'll sanitize them even if they don't look like they need it. Most of the stuff on the curbs has been nearly directly put out from an owners' apartment in near mint condition and put in bags in a short timeframe. The condition is usually near taking it straight from their hands, barring weather.
