Can you sell the lint from your clothes dryer?


Perhaps. In hard economic times, anything is worth a try. One enterprising person has listed a large wad of dryer lint on eBay with an opening bid of $4.00.

He/she suggests there are many uses and recipes (!) for dryer lint, including stuffing toys, feeding earthworms, offering to birds for nest material, filling socks to make draft stoppers for the "holiday's," creating handmade paper, and using it for a firestarter (with the caveat that the components of the dryer lint are unknown and could be malodorous).

If I remember correctly, lint is used for making felt, which can be used to create a yurt - in case you are going camping in Mongolia.

You have three days to bid on this item. And note: free shipping!
