I also pick up old mowers, trimmers, washing machines/dryers from the curb. Clean them up and get them working. easy resell. Especially spring/early summer.
9/10 just need a carb clean and new gas lines (or a new $15 cheap knockoff carb).
Depends on what you find. I don’t go purposefully looking/hunting through neighborhoods. Just stop if something catches my eye, give it a look over.

I have a friend that used to do the same but on old grills. Some shitty rusted out neglected junk grill posted for free on FB Marketplace, he'd go get it, clean it up, resell on FB and make money. It was a side hustle, he had a good paying corporate job, he just liked restoring them. Cheap parts + labor of love = a couple hundred bucks in side cash.
