Saw a decent table out in someones garbage in my cul de sac. I grabbed it thinking Im going to run it up to goodwill so someone can get some value out of it. Then I started thinking, why don't I just run an ad on CL. So I did for a couple weeks on a chicago suburbs, no luck. Then I switched it to chicago and got a buyer in one week for 15$.

Nice score, about the equivalent of getting a 90% and a 40% from the bank. I have to admit I've done this same thing on more than one occasion.

Score!!!
I once picked up an old china cabinet from someones trash pile by the curb. I took it to an antique shop and sold it for $50
