Found a chair, the kind you'd find in a living room earlier this week.

This one was a bit different as it was HUGE. I'd imagine that it was made specifically for someone quite overweight. I'd guess a 400# person could sit comfortably on this chair. We don't have room for it in our house and it was too wide to even bring in the front door. So I took it to Goodwill.

Good thing I picked it up when I did. It rained pretty hard the very next day!

I still find all sorts of things when I'm out and about. The stuff I post on this site is but a VERY SMALL PORTION of what I actually find.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I have found a bunch of stuff over the last few months. Not going to list every single item, but I will certainly mention some of them:

Three clean working skateboards - one of them a Tony Hawk
Five yard tools in EXCELLENT condition. Was very surprised to see them. There was also a shop vacuum that probably worked fine, but I let it go.
A pair of car ramps
A nice looking metal clock - works!

And of course, cherry picking garage sale leftovers!
Buy rolls NOW while you still can!
