I love that kind of find; where no one else knows of its worth and just 
wants to get rid of it.

A friend of mine got a NOS Evinrude 50 HP outboard motor for  fifty bucks 
that way.

I was scrounging at the town dump a few years ago and sitting for scrap was 
a R-390A (that's non-non-A).  I heaved that one in the back of the car and 
beat feet  immediately; scrounging is not allowed.

Does anyone else have any good "Low or No Cost" stories?
