I don't know where you folks live, but 'round these parts, dumpster divers and trash pickers get ARRESTED. Seems that trash "belongs" to the parties involved until it's picked up by the trash collector.

Yea, from what I understand, dumpster diving is illegal in Ohio. Most of the dumpster around here are locked as well.
Speaking of dumpster diving, the tips at the frugal newsgroup are amazing.

OK, guys - you'll like this one
My mom owns a very respectable business. Along comes spring clean up - there goes Mom dumpin'! Diggin in other people's garbage piles. Dressed all in black and 4' 10" she looked like a little kid in her baseball cap. OOPS - she forgot her business name was printed on her black cap in white ....
LOL

OK there is plenty more real ways to make easy money to get your self back in to auction sales.
Frist way there are many many places right on the interenet to get free money for doing much of nothing. there are still over 500 paid to surf the web banner companys out there paying limited and unlimited time to have there banner on your computer while you surf.
Second way dont take this lightly Bottle and can deposits you would be suprised how many people still toss these aside even though they have .05 and .10 deposits paid for each best place to collect these items carry in carry out parks and picnic areas beaches gas stations parks side of the roads water where the fishing is hot I know people here in NY that make up words of $70.00 to $75.00 weekly doing this.
Third way if you are handy and can make a devise to grind platic there are companys that will pay you up to .09 to .10 cents per pound plastic must not be mixed sort out HDPE LDPE PVC grind into separate boxes gaylord type that will hold 1500 to 2000 lbs.
Once you have one or two of these full call around for the best price there is a big demand for clean ground post consumer resins.
you can find used platsic bottles cans many places as well as deposit bottles & cans.
Fourth way baled old card board companys pay $$ for this to by the ton.
fifth way Laugh if you must but I have seen this listed in auction for myself on whole sale auction site Rags old anything bundled and sold wholesale by the pound.
If you dont think you could sell these online if there is a cabinet shop or hand finishing company in your town many will buy your old bags of rags for cash $$$ they have need for tons of old rags weekly.
Sixth way look around you even though you sold all the extras in your home you no longer use, out side your home is there big wooded areas in your neighborhood have you looked in these wooded area do you know of any old old abandoned cars out there from the 20 through the 60 been there for years no one knows the owner if so go see if there are any parts that are worth salvageing old original car parts that are useable with a little cleaning and work can bring big $$$.
many times neighbors will have old car on there lots they will let you strip the good off if you promise to have the car towed away after just to be rid of them out of there yard usually you can find people who will tow what left away for nothing they make money on the crushing and selling.
DO you own your home live on a big peice of wood land do you own a chain saw you know how to use people pay good money for wood for burning in the winter.
This is just a few of the many ways to Find money Where you though there was none.

Gee -- when I lost my job last month I applied for a Musical Performance Permit so I could sing opera on the Subway platform. Best decision I ever made! Who'd have thought I could earn $50 for a couple hours of singing really, really loud...

Bill, please, don't grow broke over Ebay. It's not a highly dependable way to make a living. Have fun, not a bankruptcy.

Bill!
I just talked to a friend, and he says that they'll give you 15 bucks a pop to let them test some chemicals on you, so long as you sign some waver.
That's enough to buy your "Get rich overnight on ebay" CD!
Go for it dude!!!

Bill I'm with the rest. GET A JOB!!! If you are not responsible enough with the money you made selling what you had so that you would take it and go to house sales and auctions to buy more to sell online you deserve to be one of those blokes that are fed a small pittance by the week to pay your bills. Selling online is a business and in some form you have to treat it as a business. (not to pay your taxes but in the sense that you buy and sell for a profit then skim the profit and reinvest your principal) Get it?? Just like money in the bank but you get a lot higher interest!

You could hijack a truck but you would have to be selective. You wouln't want one that was hauling produce or chickens.
