I don't know, guys. Every time I am checking craigslist "giving away for free" section, I feel like people are giving half of their houses away. TVs... washing machines... you name it.

If I were unemployed *knocking on wood it would not happen*, I would start living these ads and fixing/re-selling some of the items. It could be a good cash income to get by for some time...

Just an idea.

What you would need though is a truck and time. And determination, LOL.

Not a new idea, people already do this. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Lots of good deals at garage sales too.

I'd go to restaurants and say that I'd work for food.
Food doesn't cost them anything since they are always throwing a bunch of it away.

It's always about lack of time. People have house cleaners, personal shoppers, lawn people, etc. because they don't have time.
