The best thrift store score ever! (Tons of equipment)

[lunchbawks]

Hey all, I just wanted to brag about what i picked up at the thrift store for pennies on the dollar, Ill start with the list, then pics

3 ECO air 1plus air pumps
2 1000 watt HPS ultrasun bulbs
1 400 watt HPS ultrasun bulb
1 150 watt HPS ultrasun bulb
2 hydrofarm 110 LPM active aqua air pumps
2 1000 watt sun system HPS/MH ballasts
1 400 watt sun system HPS/MH ballasts
1 150 watt fixture
3 reflector Fixture
20 small air stones
20 large air stones
1 4 inch in line fan with carbon filter
1 6 inch inline fan with carbon filter


I am wondering what the hell to do with all this stuff, i dont have space for doing anything with it until july, so im tempted to sell it. but i also smoke way too much weed to justify not selling and growing my own stuff.
I only paid $500 for all this stuff. Anyone know what i could get for it if i do decide to sell it?

I also forgot to mention that there is a box of nutrients, all unopened and still sealed, with price tags on them, the lowest one is marked at 24 dollars. I am so happy i found this!!!!!

Nice score!!!

 

[Figong]

Inspect, make sure anything that requires power won't end up with your grow area/home/rented clandestine operation location burning to the ground. If everything seems solid, keep it.

Decent score but old magnetic ballest, eh? But any used equipment is only worth $.40-$.50 on the dollar to me... My local hydro shop sells 1000 watt magnetics for $119 :/

Inline fans are nice though.

 

[BelieveInJesus]

Incredible bro, at the thrift store!

Yeah, they were nice enough to let me test everything before i bought it, most of it was still in the original boxes, All of it works like brand new!!!! And as a bonus, the guy that sold it to me found another tupperware tub with 2 more 1000 watt ballasts and 2 fixtures so he called me and told me that i could pick it up at no extra cost. There was also 5 rolls of reflective stuff (is it called mylar?) with black plastic on the other side. And an LED light setup but i can't get the thing to work ><, The problem with growing for me is i have no access to seeds or clones. That and it has been 6 years since i have set anything up anywhere near what this would be, so im completely in the dark as to what the hell i am doing.

The thrift store i bought it from buys unclaimed storage lockers and this stuff was in there, I feel so bad for whoever lost this, But it's mine now!!!!

Still hard to decide on growing or selling the stuff.

are u a cop?

 

[lunchbawks]

No, cops are my worst enemy, the scum on my shoes is better than the police, I hate them, so much, so very much, Every time i see one i start trembling in fear, stuttering and sweating, Cops are horrible people. Anyhow, im in the process of trying to figure out how much area i can effieciently cover with these lights.

 

[lunchbawks]

I would bet more that he's fishing for someone to PM him to buy the gear - he keeps the money and the gear never gets sent... I mean, no offense, but he only got 8 posts... WTF he sign up for? To show us his 10 year old grow equipment?

Im not Phishing to sell this stuff, not here at least, And either way, why would you come here to troll like that, if you found this at the thrift store you would be pretty happy as well.
How could i be trying to get someone to buy it if i am coming here to see what it is worth? Sorry my emotions of excitement don't seem to encite any sort of reaction other than shrewdness and jealousy.

Anyhow, Where is a good one stop place to research more modern technology being used? whats the norm for ballasts and lighting these days?

Not jelly bro, but I just find it strange you join this site with not one single other post than to show off equipment you found at the thrift store... You wouldn't be a little suspicious if you actually spent time on this site and saw someone like you join to show stuff? If you say no, then ur a liar... But maybe you'll actually try to contribute something - time will tell.

 

[ExtremeMetal43]

that is the greatest score ever!

 

[lunchbawks]

1. How is showing stuff off suspicious... and my first posts were actually about questions i had on my own grow not long ago, Thirdly, It's just bad manners to accuse someone of something that never happened, is a hypothetical situation, and not true at all. I posted to vent off some excitement about my find, to research information about it and to get advice on to what to do with it. Never did i even insinuate that i was trying to sell it on the forums, Or that i was going to sell it. And i find it offensive that you would say something based on those false accusations as ignorant as calling me a thief when you know nothing about me, So for one last time, Even if i sold it, im not selling it here on the forums, Im simply just trying to vent my excitement about this score, And thought that some other people might find it exciting/entertaining that i found it at a thrift store. If you dont like, you should keep your posts with the intention of being hurtful to yourself as it is not constructive or cool. Thanks

Anyway back to topic, I dont know if i am right about this, but i think that the fixtures that i posted in the pictures are supposed to have a metal housing with them, am i correct? Or is it normal for the fixtures to just have that reflective sheet metal on it without a housing?

Okay, since we are back on topic, I vote keep the gear and grow some dank premo... BTW, didn't say you're a thief... Said for 8 posts, just seems suspicious - that's all.

Good luck with ur score... With what you got, You should be able to put together a very fine grow room.

Sounds like you have the rolls of visqueen... except visqueen is usually white / black.. not a silver/mylar-type on one side, and black on the other... either way, good material for a growing shack you can build, and take down in less than a day should you need to.
