My girlfriend started collecting dryer lint from our dryer. For the past few months she has been putting the lint in a butter type container and molding it into shapes. She recently started selling the shapes on ebay. The purpose I have with this thread is to find out how many people are actually willing to buy dryer lint on ebay.

I remember hearing that dryer lint is highly compustible... I don't know why and thinking about it, it doesn't seem like it should be more combustible than the original fabric.... perhaps more so because it's particlulate... beats me...

Would you be willing to buy my nut hair collection if I posted it on eBay?

I used to have jeans, t-shirts, socks and towels, but I gave them all up for lint. :)

It's a great firestarter. Touch a match to a large piece, and it goes up very fast.

heh, actually you could make a bundle impersonating a woman and saying it's the lint from your lingerie.

Wierd.............

I thought maybe people were selling lint from the dryers of celebrities.

Funny that you should mention that it is combustible.

Back in my pyro days, I burned some dryer lint. It goes up fast!

You nailed it, the particulate. Just like sawdust is much more flamable than wood ;)
