There's a guy in town who refurbishes old furniture. He watches the local buy/sell pages like a hawk and grabs any nice furniture left out for free, and he'll refurbish it to resell for a healthy profit. It's honestly a respectable gig given how much furniture people end up getting rid of, especially if there's young renters who just have whatever they got from a garage sale and don't want to move half of their crap to the next place
