Village of Hamburg is having their 3X year big trash pick-up this week. I went out tonight (scored some free shelves for the garage:lolham:), and it’s like a traffic jam on every street. EVERYONE is scrapping, and looking for junk so sell on eBay. It’s amazing what people throw out.

AMEN. I started studying odds of some of the casino games and have been doing pretty good. There is always chance but you can do your best to beat the odds and play in your favor.

one thing i left out about odds and such…
the house ALWAYS wins…
that’s why i stay against games where you’re playing the house…in poker it’s just you and the other guys/girls playing…

Some go as high as $150+ for scrap, so $50-100, depends on what car it came from. Most are worth taking down to the scrap place. If you check eBay, you can see that people actually auction them as scrap, and dealers actually have them shipped to their door.

I dont know where to find cat converters and last I heard you get a real pain in the ass time when you drop them off because of all the thieves.
I’d try to take scrap but with my little sedan it is hard, atleast the seats fold down.
I guess all I can do is see if anyone needs “odd jobs” (cue the dude from ubarf) and try to make it quick.
I wish I had a hundred to give ya to begin with but im really in the shit house.
Generally I dont need money this quick but with fixing my car before trips to albany and syracuse it is a must do before the seal in my tranny gives out and my car is completely undriveable.

you’re gonna have to put some more effort in than that to even have a chance at making this happen.

LoL what do you mean no effort? Like I said, time isn’t an issue for me. I’ve tried selling things that people apparently dont want to buy like the printer, sub/amp/install kit/boxes, security system items, some assorted specialty tools and a small fish/reptile tank amongst other things.
Unless you are being a smart ass and saying no effort because I wont give ghey phone/butt sech’s. I do have limitations lol.

Borrow a car- Friends or Family
Sleep in the car overnight.
Priority first, if ya need to get somewhere, for a job interview none the less, make sure you get there. They don’t care how, or where you’re sleeping, just be there. Figure out the tranny stuff when you’re not in a bind.
