Yeah, but he's not talking about being a pack-rat. He just takes good sh!t that other people put in the trash. BTW I'm a total garbage picker too, so STAY OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

well my dad is a pack rat and a garbage picker, i hate both idea's lol. i figure id rather just make enough money to buy what i need and not have to get it out of the trash. i dont know, but i think its cause i never see my dad getting anything good out of the trash.

Some of the richest people I know (including multi-millionares) get good stuff out of the trash. It's a sickness, you have to accept us for who we are! :bath:

BTW my latest conquests are a 19 inch Dell monitor and 2 chairs for my balcony.

theres usually an undisclosed catch that comes along with that 'free' sign..2 months ago me and my buddies were driving and we came a cross a fridge on someones lawn that said "FREE FRIDGE-IT WORKS" so we grabbed it and took it back 2 my buddies house..sure enough, it didnt work at all..so we gathered up whatever trash we could find in his garage, threw it all in his van, went 2 this guys house and scattered the **** all over his lawn along with his fridge, that had a new sign, baring this statement
"HONESTY IS A VIRTUE. EXERCISE IT, OR GET **** DUMPED ALL OVER YOUR LAWN. JACKAL." it was kinda fun...but taught me something about picking up trash...you get what you pay for.

used to love going to the dump with my dad to see what i could salvage. I was sure there were top quality goods just waiting to be found :rolleyes:

I still do that with my dad, we go to the local dump every now and again, and we find some good stuff sometimes, we found a fu-ton that needed a little welding and is as good as new now. have three lamps that we fixed and are really nice, found computer parts in there one day some were still usable and sold them at comp repair shop, found the comp chair I use in there too a while back. lots of good stuff if you like fixing things. no different than owning an antique shop or a junk car lot or something like that.

Hey bro, i used to own a private garbage company with my dad. When i was a kid he used to bring me home all kinda goodies. Pinball machine, big wheel, green machine and a few other goodies. My guys would find all kinda stuff. People would hide stuff they wanted to steal in the garabge containers. My guys would get there sometimes before they had a chance to get it. My guys knew anything they found they had to run it by my dad and i.... We had first dibbs....:D

I can't help but think of those "Save the children" commercials reading about you guys picking through the trash lol. I don't do it but I can't say that I wouldn't pick something up if I needed. Usually I walk right pass the peoples garbage and go pick through there house instead, f*ckers always keeping the best sh!t for themselves, serves them right.

I have never picked thru garbage, but I often rummage thru junkyards for parts, so I suppose that qualifies... I have made some good finds there... for little money... well worth the time.... :hello:
