Dumpster Diving "Something For Everyone!"

Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas.

Holy Cow! I thought Longaberger was kinda done but the comps on eBay for the bankers wastebasket are $70-$80!!!

Awesome Longerberger Baskets.......Someone spent a lot of money on the garage box full of them

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Ok, so I told the wife we might get like $20 for the lot but now I’m thinking that may not be accurate, lol

Those longaberger baskets are very very expensive and very collectable. Look on them and you will see usually (pencil) signed with year they are made. People who collect them will be dieing you found them in the garbage. I have several myself. DON'T THROUGH THEM AWAY OR SELL THEM FOR CHEAP. SOME ARE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. Good job on those. Wished I was there for that pick💓HAND MADE EXPENSIVE.

I used to resell those vanity’s. The arms swing out, and typically long fabric would wrap around it. The slipper chair was cool too. I used to paint them fun colors, and make a quick $100. I’ve also sold a similar Vtg overhead projector on eBay, $135? ☮️

Those monitor stands from Dell have a nice chunk of cast aluminum in them if you break off the plastic, just need to break off the top steel plate with hinge, some of them break pretty easily by the hinge so the plate and hinge pop off with ease.
