Selling stolen goods?

[NMH]

Simster? You're losing it, old man (but then we've known that for a while).

Cripes you're right, must be a freudian slippage between the two biggest clowns - but you are right, it doesn't sound like something simpy would do (oar puller in company where nobody enjoys the work but the pay's alright). Certainly does bear more of a safeway imagination indeed, to rummage around used condoms and dog crap.

So what are you trying to make yourself less guilty selling?

Hove Tip has a YMCA selling stuff that people have taken to the tip - presumably it is legal

 

[Lady Whistledown]

That will be because the tip technically owns all the crap dumped there and therefore they are legally in a position to offer stuff to the YMCA charity to sell.

The difference being who pockets the cash, have used both Pebsham and Lewes tips both sell stuff but I would imagine the proceeds goes to the council, or maybe charity, so a dustman selling stuff personally on ebay maybe dodgy if he(she) pockets the cash.

Its not just the bin men that do it. Years ago I did a one day temp job in London for a removals firm. We had to clear out half a dozen offices of their furniture and we were given an assets list of what was to be removed. They expected the offices to be cleared, but what was on the list and what we cleared differed hugely. All our excess was dropped off at a local office furniture dealer and I was given twice my daily rate in cash just for being part of this "team". Christ knows what the two guys I was working with cleared that day

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I don't know, first Bin Laden and now Bin Diving, where will it end ?

Landfill?

 

[Pavilionaire]

I would have thought the contents of the dustbin belong to the resident until they're tipped into the refuse truck.

What if, say, one of your kids dropped some jewellery into a wastebin which then got emptied into the dustbin? You'd expect to be able to go through your own dustbin to retrieve the article, so if some toerag had already taken the contents I'd feel pretty aggrieved.

Where there's muck there's money. Its absolutely crazy what some people throw out. Last time I visited the tip, I noticed a whole cage full of old PC's, Printers, Monitors and other bits. I bet some of them still work as well. A Linux Distro would work on these well.

don't talk to me about buying stuff! I bought a cake once at a market in Munich one Christmas and got arrested for buying stollen goods

Obviously you don't have a clue what I do, but I'd have thought most people do some sort of job which isn't wholly satisfactory but nevertheless allows us to provide for our familes.

It's all right for you to belittle other people's life choices though - you're living the dream. You know, living in a bedsit in your fifties in a non-descript suburb of one of northern Europe's least exciting cities, scraping a living from selling comically ancient records on ebay that even Saxondale would struggle to fein interest in. At least you get to glare weirdly at totally unattainable Swedish women though, as you've already made clear today, so well done for that you frightful prick.

But nowadays, with recycling, what of any worth is going to be in the general refuse to be disposed of?

And, beyond that, how would a refuse collector know there was something of worth, given that everything is bagged up?

 

[Simster]

Scrap metal would be my guess. Obviously it isn't bagged up, but is often loose in the bin or next to the bin.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Sim is right. Be surprised how much you can get for scrap metal. My ex father in law was a heating engineer and he used to save up all his spare copper piping and sold it to Geo E Richardson when he had a load of it. Made quite a few quid.

The ex had a garage door in her garden and two polish blokes basically asked if they could take it, did her a favour as it got rid of it and im sure they flogged it for scrap.

Also bulkier electronic goods, some of which actually work like TVs etc.

Here at least, you can't leave that stuff to be taken away - you have to take it to the recycling centre.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

ouch!

You gotta love Simster in full flow. I don't think that counted as both barrels though.

I HAVE grown to like simplesir's rants!
Goldman Sachs isn't it Gayling?
Stockholm the least exciting city? Whew, I would only DREAM of living in REIGATE :BWAAHAHA:
Oh there's LOTS to glare at indeed!

Keep me amused, I'll just grind and you do the monkey dance

He's completely and utterly SIMPLE!

e.g. ebaying uninteresting comically ancient records??
Er, yeah, people only pay half a grand for a 7" slice of vinyl (just one from a couple of weeks back) when it's nice and new!

was one of them Mr Sheen?

Case closed M'lud.
