One on the outskirts of Saint John, NB in 1999 was cheep - sold during my divorce in 2004 for the same I bought it for. $64000. It was an old “grandma house”. Sold it to a couple who worked at the hardware store.The other was in St Stephen, NB, purchased in 2008 with Mrs 2.0 for $90k, sold at a loss in 2016 after tenants wrecked it. This was an old 4+ bedroom farm house. Nice old house in a poor town.
When I lived in Goyang/Seoul, you could find perfect furniture outside of apartment buildings. Electronics including stereos and game systems were occasionally found as well. When the PS4 came out lots of PS3 consoles were tossed in perfect working conditions. In the trash. The day after holidays you could find unopened gift sets in the trash. I think it’s a space issue in Korea and over buying.In Canada people seem to donate more to charities and if you find something it’s usually trashed.
When I left Korea and had a 1 bedroom apartment fully furnished. The stuff wasn't worthy of Buckingham palace but it was a long way from the junk pile too.I asked the landlord if he wanted it all for free. Then he could charge a bit more and rent it as fully furnished. he said no. Okay, so I went to a couple of churches including the Catholic church and asked if they wanted it all for free. No thanks.So I left it on the side of the road piece by piece over several nights. Everything got snatched up immediately.I do not understand why all those folks said no. Especially churches which could donate it to poor people.
girlfriend threw away a pair of those clear boots yesterday. 255 size. never worn. they were snatched up within 10 mins. I would never take used shoes... even if it looked like they were never used
3 electric guitars and 2 electric bass guitars. they were all in soft cases. One fender bass was valued at 1200$ and One Jacskon Electric was valued at 900$. I sold them all over the next month for 800, 500, 400, 200, 200. made $2100 bucks!
Where was this find? Standard outdoor trash area?
Here's what they sound like around our way. Our front and rear garden is full of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYEYc8Ge3nw
