Don't we have a "bitch about idiots on CL or Marketplace" thread?

I thought your problem was with trading it for taco bell.

Forgot to address this part. I’m totally cool with that. If somebody posted a part for sale and listed a Taco Bell value meal as a payment method. I’d have to go buy it. Even if it was something I didn’t want. I’d throw an SBC intake manifold in the scrap bin for the story of having paid for it with a box of tacos.

We did some concrete work in this neighborhood. I got a pile of toyota parts from one of the guys living there. Gave him $100, 18 pack of PBR, pint of Hornitos, and dropped off his old TV at the goodwill:lmao:

Yep. Whole thing. Toilets are gross and cheap to replace. When I buy a camper. Toilet and mattresses go to the dump and I’ll replace it with new.

Plus, existing toilets are usually shit (pun intended) and need an upgrade to an uncloggable unit:smokin:

It is to me. Who buys a used toilet?

If I buy a house, one thing I do is throw away the toilets and buy new ones. OCD issues I guess. I wouldn’t take a free used toilet or mattress 🤮

Same and same.

Mid 1990s they passed a fed law about water consumption because the shithole desert states can't just write their own laws the need to make the feds do it.

That made toilets suck for 10-15yr.

Every now and then you run across a "good" old toilet. They're not as good as the best modern stuff but they're dam close.

People buy vintage ones that get taken out of remodels. My boss is remodeling a house he just bought that had a lot of 60s fixtures in it. Sold three puke green, pink, and yellow toilets for a couple hundred a piece. Between those, the stove, a fridge, and a couple cast iron wood stoves he made enough to cover a couple of the new appliances going in. Don't see the big deal with used toilets unless they're obviously gross. It's only your ass touching it anyway, it's not like you're going to eat off it. Damn near every toilet you'll ever use in your life is used already.

I've had a couple used mattresses, but knew who they came from and both were new or like new. One was from a neighbor, he'd bought it new a couple days before and it was still in plastic. Got an out of state job offer from something he'd applied for months prior and never heard back about and didn't want to move the mattress across the country. Current one came out of a family member's guest bedroom that had only been slept on a handful of times and mostly by me anyway.
 
I bet I see a toilet a week for sale on FBMP, if I was a landlord and needed one I would buy one, for personal use nope I'll buy new thanks.

I know I’m an idiot and I find out in new ways all the time just how much an id10t I am. I have never considered there to be an old appliance market. Pinterest is probably responsible for one if there is one.

In 08 I bought a 1920 house. No idea what year the toilets were but they were green or tan, some 60’s or 70’s color. Clean. I removed them and replaced them. And I took the old ones out to the range and shot them. What’s more fun to shoot than shit that explodes or crumbles.

You're not alone. Just know that. :laughing:
 
And I know I’m a princess. The white privilege I have to be able to throw away perfectly good stuff and buy new. My grandfather just shakes his head at me.

Hey, it's only money. Can make more. My grandfather was the same as yours it seems but he also knew that a used shitter just ain't right. :lmao:

I've used several 1970s and older shitters, usually they suck.

My brother's 1940s shittah flushes so lazy it's a wonder it doesn't need 20 gallons to do the job.

The 1.85643 gallon units aren't bad if the have the "power flush tm" that about rattles the floor with 500 psi water blasting that 5lb brown trout to the septic.
