Trash Picking Millionaires Homes in Chicago Suburbs! - Chicagoland Garbage Picking

[@TerryMobley-sq3yh]

You passed up a few good pieces of furniture that only needed a coat of paint. And the chairs with the cat fur, all you have to do is remove the old fabric and replace it with new fabric, it's an easy fix.

[@amystreasuresdesign]

Those chairs are great and easy to reupholster.

[@cjhoward409]

My son’s neighborhood does this twice a year and it’s nice that they can put stuff out to the curb 2 days before the garbage man comes and he says 90% of what people put out, others come along and grab em. 👍🏻

[@susantaylor4340]

That thing is called a arbor that you walk through. The toboggan gets wet in the snow so it would have been just fine. Those nice chairs could have been reupholstered in your living room. You left a lot of bank on the curb.

[@harveydales2402]

Those were my thoughts too. I agree on the toboggan, and those green seats I'd reupholster. easy fix.

[@alanbirkner1958]

Near O'Hare airport. I'm 74, only check 2 dumpsters. I've gotten Murano glass, new appliances, paintings, art supplies, books, and more. I use what I need and pass the rest to people who can use the items. I don't sell. Tina, Al's wife

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

Theres so much out there! Thanks for watching!

[@lorimchann5075]

That desk is called a secretary.

[@dacket1128]

It's easy to call out what you passed up; I'm impressed at the energy you take to do this and share w/us. Thank you!

[@laroycecornell-jl2ph]

We called them a gossip bench or telephone chair.

[@dianeneriuoka7055]

There are lots of things you passed by that could be fixed. Elbow grease

[@MaryCoffey-pn9zv]

I have been searching for a desk like that for over a year. With some restoration and repair, I could easily sell that for at least $900, probably more.

[@deborahstrawn5748]

I can’t believe you left the antique desk. Excuses, Excuses. Could have been easily fixed

[@TerryMobley-sq3yh]

Something to keep in mind is that you could sell some of these items "AS IS" and let the buyer do the work.

[@dhinds5927]

Its a telephone table. Missing the shelf that holds the phone books

[@cherylosbourne2203]

That 100 year old dresser was worth it!

[@marysupervideo.lovewhatyou8588]

Recover those hair seats. So easy. Beautiful chairs!!!!

[@AprilMosher-re6hb]

You go through the trouble of driving around but you won't take an afternoon to fix a 100 or old piece or reupholster chairs?!?! But u really got a doozy of a dresser! Ugh!

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

Unfortunately I currently live in a condo that doesn’t allow me to work on furniture there. I mostly sell my furniture to other flippers in a supplier role. But you’re right, I wish I could!

[@AprilMosher-re6hb]

@ChicagolandGarbagePicking keep doing it and there may be a time u will have the space to do some upgrades on what u find. Good luck!!!

[@tmm6884]

Agreed. I would have bought that secretary desk as is for 100$ and flipped it myself.

[@kevinmusiorski3429]

I had the same reaction on that 100yo desk! You got a good thing going. Hopefully one day you get to have your own garage or rent a space so you can take on those more interesting projects. Good work keep it up!

[@carolynstrecha2371]

You took the trashy dresser & night stand and left the vintage chairs, desk, tobagan, dresser! ? !

[@PreppyJT]

You needed to be there the day before, people start putting it on the curb Friday morning.

[@gerry-p9x]

@@PreppyJT yeah CHEK bulk pick up times and go day or too BEFORE

[@MalcolmNofsinger]

I bet that dresser sold quick!

[@suesugarireland9303]

Good Morning I have just come across you on KZbin. I love your channel and it’s educational too. I have to say I find hilarious all the people who have opinions on what you take what you leave. I think it’s safe to say you know what you are doing😊 you find some really unique pieces. I can’t wait to see any piece you up cycle or repair before selling. Thanks so much for the enjoyment I get from your channel. Greetings from Ireland☘️

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

Thank you. I appreciate you saying all of that. I understand why some people may think I should take certain things, but at the end of the day I only have so much space and so much time on my hands. I hope you continue to watch my videos!

[@ginatelford3205]

I don't think you should separate the dining chairs from the table

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

Well, I sold the chairs the next day, but still have the table. Maybe your idea would have been better 😀

[@susangetz9202]

People assume they are rich, but they're probably in debt up to they're eyeballs 😊

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

That definitely could be true! Thanks for watching 😀

[@tinac945]

For some reason, KZbin picked this video to promote. Better tell everyone to Like & Subscribe! 😅 Nice finds!

[@bonnieyoung4037]

Love the desk!

[@JohnSmith-ef6rg]

Should have grabbed those green seat chairs. Re-upholstered and they could sell for a lot I'm sure.

[@cgp1442]

The desk is 1940s. Re doing veneer is not that hard. And re doing chair cushios are the easiest thing to do and only takes minutes. Should have taken them.

[@trinasyoutube]

6:32 such a cute rocker 7:05 Toboggan was cool but water damage - nope 9:00 gossip bench (yes, telephone sat on the table portion while you sat on chair/bench cuz those old timey phones with cords had very short cords.

[@harveydales2402]

If you run out of room. You could easily take something out of the van to do upgrade of an item.

[@dawnziccardi8205]

I would have taken that green bench for the spindles & legs.

[@cjhoward409]

Nice chairs. Just cut off the fabric and get new fabric.

[@dianeneriuoka7055]

Why do you think thwy are in the garbage there probally damage

Not really pic up PC and laptops and they work😢 fine

[@s.h.6219]

You passed up some good stuff.

[@denalayman5299]

My husband calls it junker a necking. I found a lot of stuff sitting along side theroad

[@cherylosbourne2203]

Just found your channel but you pass up the good stuff just because you don’t want to work on it! Naw not for me!

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

Understandable. That’s just not my business. I’m looking to sell this stuff as-is to other flippers at a wholesale price. I know what people are going to buy in my area. Items like the desk and the chairs are nice, but I’m going to get so many lowball offers due to the damage, it’s just not worth my time. In a perfect world, these items wouldn’t be being thrown out in the first place. Thanks for giving me a shot though!

[@harveydales2402]

This must be your first time for doing this.

[@corasmith2227]

❤ the vid

[@tmm6884]

You simply don't know where the money lies. How long does it take to put a gazillion old tapes that most people cannot even watch (meaning a much smaller buyers pool)? Flipping furniture makes coin. Rent a studio for a few days to DIY the pieces. And, some of those boxes had some finds. If you're going to do this get out there early and give yourself ample time. I'm a NY'er. We are pickers by design. I've found pricy art, jewelry and knickknacks that I sold to collectors.

[@ChicagolandGarbagePicking]

I understand where you’re coming from, however, the tapes took up a lot less space than some of the furniture and have already sold two of them for $40 each on eBay with no work other than pictures and shipping.

[@tmm6884]

@@ChicagolandGarbagePicking I'm glad that you were able to sell some of the tapes!
