Last summer, someone dumped garbage in the back yard of my
warehouse. I am sure that whoever did it, did it to not pay for
disposal. It was non-food garbage,fortunately. As I was cleaning it, I
guessed that it belonged to a deceased person whose house probably was
cleaned up by their children.

Pretty boring so far.

As I was cleaning up, I noticed a bunch of solder spools and
accessories for making stained glass windows. (and lots of stained
glass pieces).

I put up that stuff on ebay as one lot and it sold yesterday for
$150.

Bravo! Turning Trash into Cash!!


Thanks. It could be worse. At the same time,I am a little sad. The
parent had so much fun makng stained glass windows, and the kids had
not even a clue that the stained glass supplies were valuable. A very
sad end of a hobby. Not exactly metalworking, but nevertheless it is a
little unpleasant. The kids are real assholes, dumping trash on others'
property and completely ignorant of the parent, their hobbies, what is
worth what etc.


Yeah, it's really sad for the dead parents, too. They probably knew
how far their kids had fallen before they passed away.


exactly.

Sickening.
I'm glad you were able to salvage some from it and recycle it back
into the U.S. economy. Every bit helps.
