Making some pocket money

[Don Gouge]

   After doing many flips, I realized one day that I was literally throwing money away. Ordinarily we would just gut everything in the house and throw it in the dumpster. It was fast and easy but just increased the dump fees. One day, while looking at the hundredth marble top and faucet headed for the dumpster, I had a wild thought that someone might give a few dollars for this. 

  I had never used these groups much before but I snapped a few pics of vanities and tops, kitchen cabinets, doors, windows, old appliances and even a pile of used lumber from a demolished deck. I posted these to some Facebook buy/sell groups and marketplace. I was stunned with the response! People came immediately and were buying what I posted and some even wanted stuff that I  never thought anyone would want. I sold well over a thousand dollars worth of stuff in a day and a half that was headed to the dump. I have done this several times since. It's not a lot but it's like free cash. Btw, things always sell quicker the first of the month.
