While I was taking some things I saw 2 people nearby that I was 99% sure were some well known local crackheads that I haven’t seen around my city for a while but unfortunately saw them again that day and few times within the past week throughout my city downtown. 1 & probably also the 2nd one was responsible for more than enough thefts previously.
I got out of the ardely
The 1st tv had a sticker “not working” and so did the PC but the TV actually seems to turn on and the Dell tries turning on unsuccessfully a few times before finally turning on and POSTing. Only when I initially plug it in. While plugged in and I turn it on whenever it turns on normally.
At least it has a I7 gen 7 and one 16G DDR4 stick. 2400 I think
I couldn’t get a better pic & did try to let them know, they just seemed to ignore me this time. I saw a non Nissan doing this earlier this week & also tried letting them know, they understood & thanked me
The pioneer turns on and sounds ok enough, vol knob(s) are a little scratchy and stuff
Haven’t tried the rest yet
Someone I know calls me and says there's a TV on the side of the road at some spot near some other junk. I find it and take it.
The next day I picked up this TV stand
Most of my TV finds were in e-waste but these were actual curb finds
I was looking through some stuff and took it just in time, there was some well known crackhead in my area who was nearby and tried talking to me and I took off
There was some vintage telephone related stuff “Northern Telecom”
Trying to list some things today and delete and relist and some items are being stuck in Needs attention/review or something and it’s just asking to do this. I’d rather not send ids to fb
It was near an e waste drop off spot
Find a safe spot out of traffic to park and then go use it
Do not be using it even when in (stopped) traffic, or stuck in traffic, or at a red light.
I found 6 of these thinkcentre AIOs last month. 2 had RAM & 256G M.2s in them.
1 missing a PSU and 2 were missing fans.
4 of them had Broken screens.
1 was totally dead, 1 was trying to turn on (power light on) but wouldn’t and wouldn’t POST.
Finally after part swapping I have 1 with a good screen and 1 with a mostly good screen minus some possible backlighting issues that seemed to have gone away, 4 had broken screens
No storage anymore in 2 that had M.2s any as I put the drives into PCs I really wanted to put SSDs into
Seen on FB shorts
Honourable mention 1 non Nissan that was just too good, literally the worst of the worst, even worse than the Nissan in speed or handling
I returned a $500+ laptop that buyer wanted to return hours after buying because "can't afford rent"/my fiance wants me to. Pretty much only accepted the return for safety - buyer had my address and I was a little worried what he could do.
Since then I had a hard time trying to sell it. Some of the Available? people but a lot more people lowballing, asking for delivery (no delivery/firm price stated in listing) and people asking useless/pointless questions. I almost sold it yesterday it all went normal until 37 minutes before the meet up he said he was going to be 30 minutes later than agreed upon. I had a little free time and accepted BUT he never showed up AND MY MESSAGES ARE STILL LEFT ON SENT 10+ HOURS LATER.
Then today I got a buyer wanting to offer 500 and doesn't seem to want to offer more. And another one asking "how firm is firm price" that "buyer" seemed to dry up.
And the same day 30 minutes before this meet up I had another buyer come with no cash. He did get cash later that night and was able to come back not long after but I was busy and eventually sold it early the next day
Found 1 CRT everyday since Friday. Almost found 1 yesterday some RCA B&W but the dump guys beat me to it. It did look like one I formerly had though and I didn’t take a pic of the one I saw though I have pics of my old one
Over the past weekend and Friday I found 1 CRT each day.
I almost found one on Monday but these dump guys beat me to it. I did not pick it up or get a picture of it. It did look like an RCA b&w similar to one I used to have.
I found nothing today maybe the dump people beat me to it or I was just not so lucky. But I did see some stuff at the e waste spot and I’m pretty sure it was some not special Appliances.
The 4th pic is the RCA B&W I formerly had. Not the one I saw.
