Figured I'd start another useless thread but.....

The other day I was driving down a side road at about 2am, and I noticed a display cabinet on the side of the road, with a sign on it saying "free"... Well, since I own a station wagon, I just grabbed a buddy of mine an we brought it back to my place... Turns out it's absolutely perfect for my collection of knives and swords...SWEET! I've been looking all over the place for something like it, and I find it... on the side of the road... free


So I figured I'd start a new thread and find out what type of shit other people have picked up out of the blue like this...

i'm the king of scaveging,
display cabnets infact are what i hunt for the most. i also love things with wheels.
while walking my dog at 1;am i found a metal cabnet perfect for tool-box or work bench. i rolled it home, it made one hell of a noise. - Tue, 4 Jan 2005 5:22pm

I was a born scavenger. Nothing thrills me more than finding treasure! Some of my favorites include a bamboo screen, smokey antique mirror, slab of marble and a length of wickedly barbed wire. Never know what you'll find. - Tue, 4 Jan 2005 5:50pm

Knives and Swords??!! I have a few practical for use, but beautiful knives meself. I also have some swords in storage. Hey - we should have a knife-fight! {Or just a game of show and tell}

And scavenger - yes. My friend Dani just moved into a new place, and there was a bunch of crap to be hauled by the landlord piled in the backyard...well, leaving out the basement backdoor - {backdoor girl ya know} I spied with my little eye - a good condition old skool fat skate, just screaming, Take me! Take Me Now!!!

So it is now a restored beauty, ready for a shredin'. Well, almost, gotta lose the cheezy graphics, skulls, alright, hot pink, not so alright...I might be a girl, but I fuckin hate anything pink. - Tue, 4 Jan 2005 6:00pm

Scavenging is actually how my parents made it rich.... They started out by going to Garage sales EVERY saturday and sunday... it's all a matter of knowing what to look for, I remember my dad picked up a medal from the freemasons at a garage sale for 50 cents, brought it home, cleaned it up and sold it 2 weeks later for $1200
geez

Slut baby!!!
That's funny shit...
And of course the virginity would be useless by now....duh.... what else would it be good for?
But really on scavanging...I am more into finding cool rocks, shells, and driftwood at beaches.
And money, I love finding money! - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 12:22am

I once found a 1.4 of weed, with scissors and rollies in a mini cooler someone left at the bus stop by the old Payless On The Highway.

Ironically, when Id left my friends earlier he had said "if you find any weed, come back and smoke one!" - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 9:11am

I bought a wicked leather jacket for $3 . . . I know not true scavenging but still!! All it needed was to have the sleeve seems sown up . . done and done. Plus there were rolling papers in teh pocket, which I have no use for, so if you ever see me and want rolling papers they are yours. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 10:04am

You know what a goof is?
any how,
Yes I do like collecting things,
used to go to Mexico, and got some cool stuff, dolphin skullz, hammerheads nicly dried out.
I mom taught me to get puffer fish, and gut em, then take the carcass, sew it up, stuff it full of sand, then put on the beach to dry, then you knock all the sand out, and shezam, you got an empty inflated puffer fish, put lights inside of em, and string em together, makes a cool dead fish thing.... they illuminate really well, and have a creepy savage feel to em - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 10:17am

Don't read em if you don't like em.
Fuck, what's the problem? Is everyone out on here just to argue and start shit.
HEY- Lets talk about music and happy stuff, or interesting topics{maybe not always happy} like I believe livevic might be intended for.
So many people are posting useless shit, and bitchin, blah fuckin blah, gettin old. Lets just do this, if you don't like something, skip it, don't reply, and don't make such a big drama outta everything, move onto something you do.
Half you men on here are worse than women. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 7:30pm

Ah ha! You do the same thing I do for furniture scaveging, BFI! I think everything in my place (frontroom table, computer chair, etc.) came from BFI, save for the computer desk (bought it myself) and the futon (someone bought it for me). I have both speaker stands given to me, for instance, and 2 of my bookshelves. I found the rest this way. - Wed, 5 Jan 2005 8:07pm

Apart from being a scavenger of human sorrow(harhar), I used to run a bed and breakfast, I've found sunglasses, weed, rollies, beer, etc. Though it's more like cleaning up after idiots than scaveging, and I thank those idiots! - Thu, 6 Jan 2005 7:12pm

true Story;

I scored a Stereo System ("head" and two hude speaker cabs) all in perfect condition for free. My band uses it as a PA system.

So basically, I got a perfectly working PA system for free.

A couple of days before Xmas I found a brand new set of golf clubs leaning against the dumpster behind my building.

They are "Tour Mission" clubs. I dont know squat about golf, but they seem like a pretty cheapo make. However they are brand freakin new, never been used, in a pretty cool looking bag, has a bunch of balls, a glove, and a couple of expired juice boxes ta boot. I’m thinking someone won them as a prize and ditched them.

Well I dont golf, doesnt interest me. They would probably make a good set of beginner clubs.If anyone wants them I’m into trades. Make a cool offer and there yours! - Fri, 7 Jan 2005 11:51am
