The city dump's pick-a-part yard saved my water heater install

Last month my old water heater finally gave out in the Northeast Heights, and a plumber quoted me $900 for parts and labor. I drove to the ABQ Recycling Center on Edith and found a nearly new 40-gallon unit for $75, still had the serial sticker showing it was only 2 years old. I rented a dolly from Home Depot for $18 and swapped it myself in about 4 hours with a YouTube tutorial. Has anyone else had luck pulling usable appliances from the city yard, or do you stick with buying new?
