    Great cooper find. The other scrap metal you pick up for Taco Stacks was very nice of you to lend him a helping hand. You are a good friend
    Take care & thanks for sharing.

      It's just easier for some people to toss stuff since they don't have a load of stuff for scrap or know what going to the scrap yard entails - also, they may not want to pay for a load at the dump. If they put it on the curb instead of in a garbage can, at least scrappers can easily see it to take it.

    Your find of "free money" brings back a memory when I found "free money" I the form of neatly rolled United States Federal Reserve Notes...$300 worth! The roll of bills was laying in the gutter near a park area. I looked around the area for perhaps a purse, billfold, or other container...nothing. Went home a happy fellow! Another situation sometime later, I found a wallet, again near a curb. This one had $500, as well as a driver license, and ID with the owner's address. The house was nearby and I took it there...the owner was a senior lady and was literally in tears when I returned it to her. She wanted to give me $50 as a reward, however, I refused it and was happy to make her day! She had just returned home from her bank with the cash! I Good trip for you!

    That was a nice trash day with excellent weather conditions and some pretty neat finds. Big score on the copper scrap, the rule of thumb is that you will actually get around five bucks for two pounds. So, congrats on these easily earned 61,- Dollars ! 👍 My price for the Monopoly game at our flea markets would be around ten bucks, if it´s complete. Don´t forget your actual appointment at Bloomsbury P.O., Renée, because more profit is awaiting you ! 😉 Hope you are having a good time, and see you on the next one ! Greets from GER, U.

    Nice find on the copper. If someone found $69 dollars in bills on the curb, they'd talk about it for years. But they pass by the copper. The planter was nice, too, if that's what it was. Was it some sort of bulk pickup day in that town, or just a normal trash day? All our stuff has to be in city-issued bins except 2X year, I think. But we live on a busy street and can put almost anything on the curb and it's gone in 30 minutes, trash day or not. Thanks for the video & have a great Monday!

    • @PaperandMoose
      @PaperandMoose  Рік тому +4

      The copper wasn't even out on a trash day! I was leaving an estate sale and traveling back to a family party, I turned down a street and there was the copper! Call it fate to have randomly driven down that road on that day! Trash is so odd in certain townships. One township you can put out everything & anything, the next town over everything has to be in a bin. Like you said, even in the bin towns, people still do put stuff outside the garbage cans knowing it will be picked up. If it isn't, my guess is they just toss it in a trash bag the next week. Of course, then there's the bulk trash like mattresses, TVs, big furniture pieces that also vary by town. They sure like to make things confusing! Hope that today was a good start to the week for you!

      I think they were Vera Bradley, the issue was their condition as the straps were heavily worn, threads coming out/undone, and some rips. For me, I know that they would be very hard sellers at my market due to their condition. Hopefully someone else came along, found them, and could put them to good use!

    It looked as though there was some brass on that copper. Scrap yards will downgrade (pay a lower amount) for the copper if there is brass attached. If you get more copper like that a hack saw works good to cut the brass off. Yards don't care about how much copper is on the brass but don't want brass in their copper so will pay less if they have to process the copper to clean it of the brass.

    If I was you I would of took the entire tote of bags because I would at least sold what I would have got for free as 💯% profit. Even if it was $10 a bag that's $10 you didn't have before. Sometimes those quilted purses are $50 to $100's of dollars. He just have to check the inside tags of each one of those purses to find a treasure. I have a quilted purse that I found at a dollar yard sale and it's worth $300.

    • @PaperandMoose
      @PaperandMoose  Рік тому +4

      The bags were all ripped and pretty worn. I'd be lucky to even get $1 for one because I would hear "Well, the bag straps have lots of damage, I'll have to try to get the stains out, there's some rips on the edges... Would you take $1 for all of them?" So that's a stack of purses that I'd get $1 for taking up space in my car that could have been used for items that would sell for much more.
