Another Man's Treasure - 2 treasures


This weekend I went out to take out the trash and what do you know I found a 32-inch Emprex HD-3201D TV I also found a six drawer cart near the dumpster. I guess it doesn't sell much anymore at Fry's or any other store for that matter. It retailed between $400-800 in it's hay day. This brand is known for the defect in the power supply. It appears it was manufactured in 2005. I am going to replace both the power supply and the tuner. I found out that I will have to pay only 50-60$ for a power supply on ebay. I have set this as my May 2011 Project.



Some people don't like dumpster diving, they think that it's dirty or that it's for the poor. I do not agree.I'm not against dumpster diving I absolutely solute those who can make another persons trash their treasure. I actually wasn't looking for these items or diving for them just there. I've wanted an LCD TV for awhile it's going to be fun to fix and not have to spend so much on it. .

It's kind of like when you get dumped and someone moves on... I've fallen in love with both items I've found. So these are my treasures to make mine.

Keurig KCup Craigslist Catastrophe turns into love

Let me first say I have been wanting a Keurig since they came out. I don't drink a lot of coffee but I do love tea and hot chocolate. I was so fascinated by a demonstration that I was given at a Macy's during Christmas. Anywho I went on Craigslist to find one since I am frugal and don't like paying full price for anything. It retails at $149 at Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Keurig-B60-Special-Edition-Brewer-and-Choice-of-K-Cups-Beverage-Bundle/20693072. Let me tell you I had my first bad experience on Craigslist. I saw an ad for a brand new Keurig for $50. Only paying 33% with no taxes seemed like a great win a savings of 67%. I met the lady and for some reason I should have known something was wrong. As soon as I opened the item upon getting it home it looked brand new. I should have known better when trying to plug it in I saw the cord was severely scorched to the core and the item didn't work. I was so mad. I won't go into detail but I did file a poli...
