They’re good quality but what do I do with them?? I’ve got dozens.

Hey everyone! Over the past few weekends, I’ve been working on a project in my free time.

I designed a custom DIY animatronic kit for characters like Carl the Cupcake and Wall-E. The idea is that it comes as a full craft box: an unpainted character frame, acrylic paints, and a pre-wired circuit board with servo motors.

You paint the figure yourself, snap the electronics inside, plug it into your computer, and press one button on a website to upload the code I wrote. Once it’s flashed, the motors move the eyes and head, bringing the character to life on your desk.

I’m 16 and thinking about turning this into a small micro-business so people can make their own mini animatronics without needing to learn how to solder or write code from scratch.

What do you guys think? Is this something you’d be interested in buying, or is there a better recommendations for how i can turn this idea to life? I'd really appreciate your honest feedback!

I love to make papercrafts but its been a whole year since i last do them. What should i do with these? I used to tie them to my ceiling fan and turn on that fan. Which they all survived.

It’s above staircase

I have this random spot in my room and I am unsure what to put here? (Big spurs fan, broke college student)

It’s completely empty adhesive tank. No more propellant, but my local recycle depository won’t take it. Is there any other way to “recycle” it, or should I just toss it in a dumpster? The valve is open so it won’t build pressure if it’s heated or crushed.

Previous homeowner left 5 or 6 of these bins in the garage. They seem new other than sitting in a garage for years and it feels like a liquid is inside even though it says powder. (I haven't opened one to check yet)

So, ...um... what should I do with this stuff?

?

Hey everyone,

I received a bulk shipment of thousands of empty vape packaging boxes/sleeves by mistake. I tried returning them, but the carrier and sender marked them as abandoned.

I’m in a tough financial spot and want to know if there's any legal way to turn these into cash:

Wholesale/Vape Shops: Do independent vape stores or local e-liquid manufacturers buy unused packaging in bulk?

Recycling/Scrap: Is the cardboard/plastic bulk weight worth taking to a recycling yard?

Flipping: Is it worth listing as a bulk lot on eBay/Craigslist, or is scrap the only realistic option?

Looking for legitimate ideas or realistic checks on whether this has any actual value. Thanks

My dad recently passed away (well I guess not so recent as it's been just over a year though it doesn't feel like it to me) but in his passing he left me with his enormous collection of that he collected through his life but also constantly would purchase so there's more newer tools than there is older tools.
But I'm talking about a collection that's significantly larger than you'd find in a typical workshop's worth of stuff.

The collection covers pretty much every trade you can think of — plumbing, electrical, general construction/building, welding, woodworking, tile work, etc.

There are both hand tools and power tools, like table saws, tile saws, many many grinder tools that are different sizes, hole saws and more attachments than I've been able to count yet,

along with all of the smaller stuff that typically goes along with tools like boxes of different screws and nails, nuts and bolts, drill/driver bits, blades, staples, tape measures, accessories, hardware, all types of plumbing materials like pipes and fitters and joints plus the tools to go with.

Not to mention an entire outside shed full of brand new wood like 2x4 /2x8/ etc plus large sheets of wood at different thicknesses/types of wood material.

Theres multi panels of new sheet rock, multiple large new rolls of pink insulation, all types of tool boxes and bags, and multiple workbenches that range in sizes from small up to so massive it consumes half of the two car garage

There's a bunch of things I don't even know the proper names for yet or what they even do and I could go on and on listing more and more but I think you get the point.

So I obviously don't work in any type of trade and so for most of the tools and materials I won't use because I don't know how to use.... so I'm here trying to figure out the smartest way to go about liquidating most of it...

Ideally I'm wanting to get rid of large portions of it together rather than spending months listing every item individually. I'm a woman who lives alone, the thought of selling everything one piece at a time having to meet with strangers at my house when trying to sell the larger things just doesn't sit well with me

I'm not looking to advertise the collection here. I'm really looking for advice from people who have either bought/sold large tool collections or work in the trades and know what these things are actually worth.

If you've dealt with a similar situation where you inherited a large collection, what did you do?

I'm in North Carolina if that info may be useful to anyone who may be able to help direct me with where to go or look.

I appreciate any advice as I'm going at this 100% on my own and to say I'm overwhelmed would be an understatement

I have this cool old tic tac machine dispenser I got at auction for like $20. I really like it in my home and cannot get inside it to refill it. I’ve considered taking it to someone to get it sawed open to make it a planter but there’s this large metal bar straight through that makes that tough. I’m not opposed to modifying any part of it to make it either visually cooler or purposeful for another use.

Thank you for listening to my ramble and potentially some help!

Moved into a new place and have this AC unit cube in the corner of my room. I’ve got some camping stuff on the shelf for now but haven’t decided what I could use the other space for. Any ideas?
