I always would find at least $12.35 in change as well, but drumming up the courage to touch anything in the bottom of a cabinet always takes a while...

I am nt proud of this methos but it works for old furniture, christmas trees, and other junk that the garbage man won't take.

Use you circular saw / jig saw / axe / hammer, to brak it up into "trash can" sized peices.

That will make your garbage guy love you.. :cheers:

Even better, put it in your front yard for a couple days with a sign that says "free to good home"  some idiot will pick it up.

I guess I could have been more clear.  I don't have any extra cabinets at the moment, but I may be getting one that really is beyond hope.  Severely waterlogged, chunks missing, just a shell.

More to the point, I just went to a superauction, and there was a LOT of junk there.  If I had a large moving van I probably could have gotten 20 cabinets for under $100.  Not to mention the cocktail cabinets that were in horrible shape.

But upon getting them home and salvaging a few parts I'd be left with some serious junk.  Certainly nothing someone would drive an hour or more one way for (I don't exactly live inthe city, y'know).

Do you guys just off unwanted empty shells at the dump, put them on the street with a FREE sign, what?

I do the same, but have no sense of shame about it. They really love it when it's full top to bottom with broken up sheetrock. >:D

You'd probably have more luck with a $10 sign.  If something's free, most people will assume it's junk.  If there's a price, it's almost guaranteed that someone'll take it in the middle of the night.  ;)
