THRIFT STORES
What's worth it? Anything in particular to keep an eye out for?
Yesterday I saw a Razor electric scooter for $15 but it had a SLA battery so I decided against it. I know those diabetes, err I mean mobility scooters generally run SLA too. I figured the motor and related components were probably garbage. Guess I could cannibalize some of the wiring, maybe the throttle.
There were some laptops too, but I'm not sure it's worth the risk of spending $20 for what might be dead 18650s.
I'm happy to put together a guide to add to the wiki to help folks out, with the responses here.
