I found this at a school ready to be thrown in the skip bin because the caters are stuffed. It is a medical trolley, full seam welded medical grade stainless steel. To say I was happy is an understatement.

A few years ago, I was driving in the winter on an interstate highway, when I spotted a new semi truck tire/wheel lying in the median. I muscled it into my minivan, and put it on ebay. I sold it for $100, and they buyer said he would pick it up. A year later, it's still sitting in my yard. I'd contacted the buyer a couple times, but he never showed up. I sold it again on ebay for another $100. The second buyer picked it up i a couple weeks.

I have actually been the buyer on ebay in a similar situation. I bid on an engine, a trans and rear end that were in Colorado, which I was going to go visit very soon. I ended up winning the auction for $100 or so, which was dirt cheap. Well, work got really ****** really fast and I didn't feel comfortable taking any time off as I feared I would find myself unemployed when I returned. I paid the guy and never did pick up my stuff. I assume he sold it again some time later lol. Oh well, things happen.

Scored this a few houses down from me. I thought for sure it needed an overhaul. I replaced the hose and fired it up. Holds pressure and runs just fine. Score.
