Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover... More Recycled Goods Saved & Sold For $1,197
To most, this looks like a broken TV left for ruin.

#### To me, it's a TV stand sold & hand-delivered for $120 a few subway stops away.

If it hadn't rained, the TV's main and power boards would be easy to test and resell for $100+ more if the screen was simply cracked (the usual scenario).

#### This is what I wish more people could see. Find the value in things instead of writing them off on the surface.

It's not about the lucrative finds. It's about each and every item not being wasted and now in the hands of people who needed them (won't need to buy a new one). 

Add this up in the _thousands of items_ I've saved in this fashion (and shipped in recycled packaging), and it really does make a dent.

Please give it a try. It'll be fun and rewarding. Feel also free to message me with any success stories no matter how big or small.

For example, @rmsbodybuilding just scored two large working [monitor speakers](https://steemit.com/life/@rmsbodybuilding/treasure-x0jzktzz) he's now blasting workout music through in his home gym.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or could use some advice. I can also help you value something if you'd like.

Thanks for your support in helping me spread this valuable message,
