I really appreciated that half an avocado kept their promotion so short and unobtrusive.

The little transformer with the handle and plug on the side is called an isolation transformer, it disconnects you from mains voltage so you don't get electrocuted when testing electronics. That you could sell all by itself.

Dude that piece of Steel is perfect pounding out a knife. I'd keep it too. I love repurposing materials. It's even more exciting than a good payday at the scrapyard

The stuff with the big PV Array DC Isolator switches used to be used for a Solar panel array, if you ever want to rig up some solar power on top of your garage or so, that might come in handy!

I have noticed over the years that you have done less and less as far as you doing the tear down. Like monitors for an example. You get zero return out of them. Actually lose money because you spend the fuel and time to get them and just dump them. Can’t you at least take the stands off for scrap steel. Just wondering why? When you started on KZbin you did full tear downs and now you just get rid of stuff lol
