All i can say is i am a 70year women from texas. I dug in the trash from the 70s on i sold at flea markets when their was NO INTERNET every week. My dad went to auctions bought stuff for the house. His profession welder. After he went in business for hisself he became a scrapper early on. At his funeral their were a hundred plus guys that threw little peices of metal on his coffin, it was an act of love and respect to my Dad and i still cry thinking about it And it was 18 years ago. Keep going Taco and like many of us think i do hope you and Rene are really really good....friends, its none of my business but she is good people and so are you...

Happy scrapping. My mother had her great grandmother's encyclopedias from the early 1800s. When I was in grade school I wrote a book report using those old encyclopedias and got a F. My mother had to go to the school and explain to the teacher that I had used those 1800s encyclopedias. Turns out most of the information in them were wrong. Had to rewrite that book report using current encyclopedias. Got an A.

I had encyclopedias. The grocery store my grandparents went to had a set they were selling. Each week it was 2-3 books plus there was a map book. I used them all the time for school. Internet was barely a thing in high school. It was a lot of going to the library looking in the card catalog then hoping no one took the books you need. Oh the good old days.

Hi Taco! You are correct that an encyclopedia was expensive. They came in volumes, usually in alphabetical order. The Encyclopedia Britannica was the most well known. It was large and the volumes were heavy. You could also get encyclopedias on a specific subject. Like baseball or paintings. When personal computers came out, before Google, you could get them on floppy disks. Thanks for the video and hugs for Salsa!😊✌🐕

Encyclopedias are better than Google could ever hope to be. There is limited history in Google. If you pick major league baseball the history will start at a point and come forward. If you need the inception of leagues and who the people involved were that information may or may not be there. If I look up 12th century France I go to my Encyclopedia Britannica and it gives a brief overview then explodes into all sorts of things with references to agriculture,music,politics, role of women,diseases,etc. As for current information, I looked at placement of an intravenous catheter or a central line. It showed placement of the patient,prepping site, opening of the kit, what the components of the kit,etc. THEY LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP WHICH MEANS THEY KILLED THE PATIENT. I rewatched the video several times. They really did leave out that most important step. Give me the books any day.

I bought the brother unit for 80 got 220 in scrap wire and N64 games w/ console and expansion pack around 400 in value with a few nes games , have a feeling the brother unit had the good nes games with all the 80s toy figures. One of the totes had GI joes written on the side but no gi joes😮💨 . Had ran out of storage space and could only bid on 1 unit at the time , now I can't bid at all 😥 zero space with to much to sell

Renée had the same issue with the unit she bought for $70. There was a whole box missing, and boxes had been rearranged. Sounds like an employee is grabbing the good stuff for themselves, or they are letting the tenant get certain things out of the unit before they sell it at auction.
