You Won't Believe What I Find On The Curbs Of My Neighborhood On Recycling Nights! See 10 FREE Items Worth $1,650 Minimum!

Sometimes you just need to see it to believe it.

Check out these household items I've plucked from the streets near my apartment, most within the last 2-3 weeks.

All of these were found in perfect working condition in clear plastic bags on the curbs, or on top of them -- so easy to salvage and resell to help the environment, plus my pockets.

These haven't sold yet (I usually only post what I've sold), but most were just found, and will move in due time when the right offer comes. I'm in no rush.

Recycled Finds:

I love these two large antique porcelain figures I saved from an elderly woman's collection people tossed out on the curb. There was more I sold, but these were the nicest.

• Hand signed 11" long Hungarian piece from 1955. It's a super slow seller, but they go in the $250-$300 range. History saved! I declined a lowball $100 cash offer from a stingy guy who didn't handle it well.

• 13" inch tall antique Hungarian porcelain figure in mint condition worth about $125. More history saved!

This 3 horsepower blender is literally like new. It retails for $450. I just turned down an offer for $150 cash to hold out for $180-$200.

This complete Miele vacuum is top of the line. It was barely used and will sell for about $175 cash, or $200 online if I decide on that.

This vintage sewing machine sells for almost $500 online if I could fully test it, but I don't have the foot pedal to do so. All other elements work fine, including the secondary motor. I'm meeting a guy locally who has the pedal and will likely buy it for a discounted $180 under as "untested."

I turned down an offer for $180 on this signed piece of art that had a $500 price tag on the back. I'll wait for $250 plus.

7 sealed panoramic puzzles of Chinese landscape plucked right from a bag on the curb nearby! I'm aiming to sell these for about $125 total. They're interesting because the scenes all link together.

I just turned down $140 cash for this high end air purifier. I'll wait for $200+. I've sold one before for $180 that was a lesser model, so I'm good.

This UPPAbaby car seat base regularly sells used for $110+ online. I'll be selling it for cash and carry for $80 to move it quickly. They sell like water.

Sealed ortho back brace worth about $90 over the counter. I previously sold a second one of these from the curbs for ~$90.

That's 10 finds for $1,655 on the LOW END. That's $165 per find. All free!

I also just found a popular $150 MacLaren stroller on Friday, but haven't taken pictures of it yet. I didn't count it in the tally above. These are just some finds. I find too much to handle sometimes.

As you can see, this stuff is near pristine. At most, sometimes I just have to take the dust off, or wipe a few marks off with rubbing alcohol (pro tip there).

Again, these are all from the street, saved by me, and did not go to a landfill or recycling plant.

I usually take about 3 or 4 1-2 hours walks around my neighborhood a week. That's it. I thrift from time to time, but don't really think it's worth the time anymore when I find more on the curbs, on average. Crazy, right?

Keep your eyes open and you never know what you'll find! I used to say there was nothing around until I literally tripped on it. I've never not seen stuff since.

Please take care of our planet,
