One fully working Sony vx2100, 340 mini dv and dvc, tapes and a dv vcr, also some hotshoe accessories and a remote with the battery tab still in it so its probably never been used!

i've been dumpster diving at computer repair shops for the past few months, saving what works and scrapping what's too old/doesn't work. just loaded up my hatchback and took 360 lbs of e-scrap to ohio.

the computers in the last pic all work. i frankensteined some of them together into an optiplex with 32gb of ddr4 (passed memtest with 0 errors) and an i7-9770. gonna use it for a proxmox machine with an external disk shelf (with 8x 2tb drives that were all free as well.)

absolutely INSANE what people throw away. it has been a real privilege getting to learn so much about hardware and being able to mess with software on free machines.

Just another day of broke college students throwing away tech instead of selling it. Thats a W for me though.

Guy came in with this bag of go pros. Most of them turn on. The batteries they came with either are dead or aren’t charged. The go pros seem to work off a usbc power tho 😏

Found a mint perfect 👌 s10e and a 2018 hp Chromebook 11 my sister found the flip phone. Is this a good first find?

Hey ya’ll, anyone got experience with Verizon bins actually getting stuff and such. I just went to one and the bin is like locked locked. I couldn’t open it. I usually open them pretty easily but ig this was a different style of lock idk. It was jam packed with phones too. I was wondering if anyone on this subreddit has any advice for Verizon bins and if anyone goes to them and finds stuff? Since not many people probably do. Also if I should try to go back here and try to get the bin door open. Since I don’t usually get stuff from Verizon bins.

8800 & 8800b saved from being recycled

Asus ZenFone Go 4.5

Honor 3c

Samsung Galaxy Note FE

They were unknown condition, try to charge them, ZenFone Go got stuck on logo, Honor 3c blank display & bootloop & Note FE battery swollen, not sure working or not. But i'm happy with these phones that i got :)

The ones at the top were unlocked and working

The ones in the bottom left are ic locked but the batteries are cooked so they might have a chance (ill use them for parts if there's no hope)

Bottom middle = destroy (iphone 13 is getting sold bc screen is good)

Bottom right = target

(msi gs60 2qe ghost pro)

Specs:

Intel core 17 4720HQ 2.6ghz

16gb ddr3 ram

Geforce gtx 970m

1tb hdd + 128gb ssd (boot drive)

Had terrible battery life so I replaced it

Still tryna figure out what's wrong with it but its an hp elitebook 8440p

Specs:

Intel core i5 540m @2.53ghz

4gb pc3 ram

250gb Toshiba hdd

1366x768 14" lcd

The only thing that happens when I plug it in is the charge light flashes rapidly. Looking at that charger definitely doesn't help😭 (i have a genuine one at my dads house and im going today) and it also has an aftermarket battery

Also i think that led at the top is pretty cool

Eufy RoboVac (dead battery )
Dish rack
Steamer in good working condition
MacBook Air No charger yet but screen passed flashlight test

Oh my rug too was a dumpster find months ago

Mods please delete if im not allowed to do this here

I also found these!

I found 5 iphone 14 pros! Unfortunately they were all missing a ton of parts (all missing the screen, few missing a motherboard and all of them didnt have a back camera or battery) How much do yall think i can get for all of them?
