Wow, I can't believe the quality of discarded furniture. Wickedly wasteful. THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THIS!! Good for you both for saving some of these treasures. Bravo Florida Flipsters!

It is insane some of the pieces we have found just set out for the trash! Thanks for watching. 💕 We do feel like more people need to know just how much waste there is. People always assume were just lying about what we find out in the trash because it is just sad. At least we get to save some treasures along the way! 🥰

Fun one! Just a tip when filming, look into the lens, it looks weird when watching that you look at the side. That desk was gorgeous! I totally get that you didn't get IKEA one, but that is solid pine. I think you could get a decent profit with a nice coat of paint. The best thing with wobbly IKEA is that it's easy to just tighten the screws. It's crazy how much furniture is just thrown out!

I would have salvaged the dresser, too. The bottom could be books display or boxed items.

They could also have moved one of the other drawers to the bottom and added an upper shelf. The cost would be getting a board to fit that space

I love seeing things kept out of landfills. We are a wasteful society. At least put it on the curb with a free sign on it. Where I am from, Wisconsin, we have 1 day a year when you can throw out bigger stuff and it will get picked up. I love your videos, but Tyler, I want the Bengals to make it to the Super Bowl!

I agree! If we are ever want to donate anything, we can just put it on the curb with a free sign and it's gone in less than an hour. It's sad when I see they just toss pieces in the trash! & I'll be sure to let Tyler know 😂😘

Love watching what you guys find- same story here in PA. So much waste it makes me so sad to see what people throw out that could be donated or sold to those who need it. I had a neighbor who threw out a like new patio set. I took it home, washed it and sold it for $300! It blew my mind . Love your videos and your creativity 🥰

I was walking down the street and found a perfectly good outdoor rug by someone's dumpster. I pulled it out and there was some kind of gunk on it that looked like an animal could have died on it... but I never saw the animal so I took it home and used some odoban on it. Put it on the back porch and washed it, and you would never know that it wasn't new if I hadn't told you:)

1 week not long after Owen moved into his house near yours, I found a working massage chair about a $500 value. About a week later, Owen found another massage chair with a touchpad control panel that not only massaged your back, but also your arms and legs. About a 2k value. So you are right, people just get rid of stuff b/c they don't want it anymore. On Craigslist, Owen found a high grade of leather 7 ft couch which included 2 electric recliners in it. Value about 3k for $300. Also, a stackable washer and dryer I'm great shape in a nail salon on David Island for $150. He is still using all of these in his house.

I love what you found today, especially that gorgeous desk. I'm surprised your selling it for just $100. It would go for way more here.

I love the desk as well, so much charm! Just like the trash you see all around our city, it seems pieces don't have as high of a price point over where we live. Also we prefer to just keep the prices affordable since we're always able to get a good return on them. We would rather sell it quickly than have it taking up space at our home. We don't have a ton of extra space for pieces that we collect. 😅

You're not wrong! Haha We do actually have our backseats just permanently taken out of our Trailblazer to make it work for our dumpster diving lifestyle. 😂🙌
