Identify...

So I found this old Kodak camera in yesterday's foreclosure pick. Anyone familiar with it? I've looked at old pics and can't find it. If you have an idea, please share it! Thanks!!
This picking is like solving mysteries everyday.. call me Sherlock! :)

 

Today's pick

So I went to a recently purchased foreclosure home today. The new owner had contacted me about coming to take away the odds and ends left by the past owners. Huge score!! Great toys, awesome mummy sleeping bags, and a huge collection of vintage Sports Illustrated magazines. So excited!!

This is way nicer than hitting the dumpsters.. not that I'm gonna stop. :)

Magazines

Did you know that people will buy your back issues of certain magazines?? So, when you're out diving in your local recycling bins, look for the mags!! Or those issues you have piling up in the bathroom that you're gonna throw out, sell them instead! You'll wanna do your research first, on ebay, to see which are the most collectible, but so far, there seems to be a market for pretty much everything except the rag mags. (US Weekly, Star, Inquirer, etc)
Just another great money making opportunity!

Dyson Parts

So I found these 3 Dyson vacuum attachments in a school dumpster in Springville the other day...

Turns out they're kind of valuable... Again, the things people throw out.. It's a shame, but it keeps me in business. :) Gonna see if I can get a few bucks for them on ebay. It's a good idea to be competitive, especially when it's all profit. I research the others available on ebay, amazon, etc. Then I undercut them by a few bucks. Then the buyer gets a great deal and I make some money. Works well and makes customers happy. And that's what this business is all about! Well... that and making money. :)
 Where I found these, I also found several Mikita drills and chargers, plus a couple other power tools that the school threw out. Sad.. Probably going to save those for my upcoming yard sale.

Help me identify an item!

So I found this interesting piece from Ikea... But I cannot figure out what it's for!! I have researched the web and there is just nothing to be found! Please tell me, if you know, what this blasted thing is for!! Thanks!!

It collapses and has clamps. Help!!

Coolest Pick Ever!

Yesterday I was hunting and picking in Provo. In a school's dumpster, I found what appeared to be their entire science lab.. What a waste! I got everything that I possibly could, including this, the coolest item I have picked so far!

It is an antique brass Coleman Solus lamp. So cool!!! It needs to be polished but there are no dents or repairs/replacements. Plus it has the rare top plate! An amazing find! I can't believe that some lunatic threw it out!!!
Anywho, it is valued at around $300. Gonna see what I can get out of it on ebay. I love what I do! It is totally worth all the bruises and the many showers I have to take!
