With many wallowing in uncertainty and fear, my recycling effort never falters.
We need a planet to live (or wallow) on, depending on how one chooses to see it.
Finds have been great. Some have blown my mind, but haven't sold yet. You'll see in time.
Sales have been solid. Still trying to sell more for cash in-person to reduce my footprint.
Per usual, below are 10 more items personally plucked from my neighborhood's curbside recycling that I recently sold. Just a small snapshot for inspiration and ideas...
Painting of a famous thieve's hangout, Le Lapin Agile, in Paris sold for $70 cash. Signed by Dupont, but I don't think it was by the famous artist.
5 pounds 12 ounces.
UPPAbaby Cruz stroller sold for $100 cash.
21 pounds.
Babybjorn baby bouncer sold for $100 cash to someone living 2 blocks away from where it was found.

These are just some cherry-picked cash sales since my last post so you get the drift.
Think about how you're helping the environment... or why you're not. Do more if you can.
Blogging in circles only gets people so far. Roll up your sleeves offline in reality and invest wisely.
I'm off to go outside to find more...
Thanks,
