Episode 010 - Some Things Are Worth More Than Scrap

It had been a couple of weeks since I'd been out scrapping, so I headed back out into the Las Vegas heat to see what was sitting at the curb. It wasn't a huge haul, but I found some useful storage bins, pulled cords, copper, and other worthwhile pieces from equipment that wasn't worth taking whole, and brought home a few things worth sorting through. Back in the garage, I also took another look at some guitar equipment I'd been hanging onto because it seemed too good to scrap. I've been experimenting with AI to help identify things I find, research what they're worth, and write listings. That little experiment turned up quite a bit more value than I expected. Sometimes the best recycling decision is knowing what not to scrap. Thanks for spending some time with me, and I'll see you in the next one.
