My dad was a dumpster diver. My first bike he made primarily out of parts he found on the curb. that's not a "we were so poor" story. He was/is a metal worker type guy. I had the coolest bike in the hood. It was a lowrider before the concept of a lowrider bike had made it to our city. And it was painted a cool metal grey color.
I love to junk shop, I can spend hours going book by book or record by record looking for that one rare or interesting 25 cent or 2.00 dollar item. It's my hobby. Someday it will be my business. I don't think e-bay will ruin everything forever. There will still be stuff, and there will still be people who want to look at it and hold it in their hand before they purchase it.
