I was up in Kingman, AZ a couple weeks ago. While I was up there went snooping at a couple of junkyards. They were closed, but I could get to the cars(no fence around them). Anyways in an old Ford van from the mid 60's were these 3 machines. If I had a truck and they were open I would have snagged them up. But thought I'd pass it on to anyone who might be intrested.

Countryford, hey dude. I wish I could find a junking buddy like you around here (North Louisiana). Man, I pick up at least 3 washers/ dryers off the side of the road on folks' trash piles per week here. the landfill charges to dump them and the garbage company will not pick any white goods up. I run a small but growing business here from my backyard shop and let me tell ya bro, I need to hire help sometimes to make pick-ups and deliveries on machines. But every time I have the chance I make a run around town, preferably on curbside pickup day, to see what's to be found. It's like an Easteregg hunt to me.LOL. Last week I picked up a Craftsman 6.75 H.P. push mower that retails on Sears.com at 269.00. It had a sheared pin in it and I replaced it and sold it to pawn shop for 150.00 considering it was basically new. I have several nice mowers already so I didnt need this one. All of those came from trash piles too. I'm not a trashy person but totally love finding cool stuff for free and to make a profit is even cooler. Are there any more folks like me here? I'm not plugging my favorite website that's local here but you may like to check out WWW.WHITETRASHWAREHOUSE.COM. It's a fun site to visit. See ya.

Washers & dryers on the side of the road

Rolltideroll:

Where do you reside in North La?? I'm originally from Homer and wondered if there was a place up that way where you could find old appliances. I tried your E-Mail address in your profile but it wouldn't go through. Hope to hear from you.
