[snake35]

I just scored a copy of "Dumpster Diving for Fun and Profit" off Fleabay for $1.25 shipped to me!! I read it years ago, and I remember it being pretty funny. I need a laugh to get me through these times of low scrap prices.

This book is incredible I want to know where this man is today. I read the entire book and will purchase a copy it is that good. I especially love his hobby dealing with junk mail. This frank accounting of Americans explains why we are where we are today. I especially love his view of the people attending college when you think about it this explains so much about how our world is the way it is. He should write 20 books this man is gifted not only in his cynical view of society but his ability to tell the story that had me laughing outloud probably over 30 times. Has to be the best book I have read in the last 10 years. Strangely the book was produced in 1993 it is already an antique had I read this book back then my life had been so different because so much in the book is based in hard core truth. Masterpiece!

Kinda cool when you can find the goodies & pocket some gas money for the next trip!

I dumpster dive everyday and recently found a calphalon omelette pan that the teflon was ruint so I sent it back and just received my new replacement. About a $60.00 freeby.

you did good. I paid 84.00 for a sauce pan for my wife about 4 years ago. They are a piece of -rap in my opinion.

Me too, I got one on the way from amazon. I tried to download from the website mentioned above and it slowed my computer down to a crawl. That is not a regular pdf. Besides I like to read things that is ink on paper. Might have something to do that I am in the printing business and that pays the bills.

Yeah. I've tried to read e-books, i just end up printing the pages out and reading them that way. Haha. I got my book today. It's great. Definitely worth the money. That link didn't work for me either, it was actually a huge annoyance trying to get it to work.

Hmmm....... Was it the 70s or the 80s they told us by 2000 we'd be a paperless society At least now when I read Ebooks and fall asleep I don't wake up to a pile of rumpled pages But, trying to figure out where the 27 1/2 pages of I s came from ain't fun

My copies are still in the mail but the library came through they interlibry loaned the 2 books get this the nearest library with a copy was 300 miles away they got me the books for free and faster than amazon could get the books in the mail to me. Im on page 61 in the second book and the second book is difficult to read cause he changed his writing style he goes into things that are odd interesting but hard to follow the way he conveys the info,
