12/14/2003 Entry: "diving" I went dumpster diving again tonight, for the third time this break. I've found some wondeful dumpsters in the area, but I am reluctant to disclose their locations here because I don't really want to have to fight all 40 of you loyal readers off. So, anyway, the dollar amount of these last three dives is freakin' high. I've obtained ALOT of stuff, including two car blacklights, lots of effects, a bunch of overpriced ceramics, and other things I can't disclose because they will be suprise gifts. Before I give you the grant total let me explain how I figure the monetary worth of a dive. I rate an item as worth full price if it was a floor model and not damaged, or damaged so little that I can repair it (super glue, new bulb, etc) so that you can't tell it was broken. I assign half price if it can only be repaired to near new, but it still worth keeping or giving away, and/or I am using only part of it for some other purpose. No value goes to shit I can't fix and plan on rethrowing away. Some items I do not know how to assign value too, because I believe they are only available from dumpsters, like Mark's suprise present. Those are also left out of the equation, but they are rather priceless finds. So, I bet you all are dying to know, just what IS the estimated worth of my last three dive in Cedar Falls? Well, I'm currently nearing the 700-800 dollar mark. No, I am not fucking shitting you. A lot of the thing I've obtained are in the 20-30 dollars range, and some in the 50-60s, so it's not hard to add up to 800 bucks. It fucking amazes me. The shit I have laying around my room right now would have cost me 800 dollars if I were to have bought it all in the store. Granted, I don't really want any of it, but I have enough gifts to last my mom a year, a bunch for my sister, and tons of other shit that I don't want, but once I fix (simple glue job) it'll look like new and I know people that probably would want it. It's like I'm fucking mix between Santa Clause and Robin Hood. Stealing from the landfills and giving to good little boys and girls that don't want to spend 20 bucks for a fucking ceramic bear. Part of me is disgusted with the wastefulness. But another part of me is happy that stores can't sell slightly broken shit, so they throw it away for me to find, fix, and give away. That's a pretty sweet deal. I wish I'd thought of this earlier.
