Cash Is Literally In the Garbage Waiting to be Picked Up - Page 2

One time I found a stirling chain in a dumpster, got 40.00 for it. I use cookie tins to put screws in so I pick them up whenever I find them. Opened one up to put some screws in and it had 250.00 cash in it. I always find change in the bottem of driers, the other day I pulled 8.32 from one drier. One time I found 21.00 in a drier. I used to have one of those weed boxes back in my hippie days.

True. CL is a whole lot better for the cash. I'm just not in the mood to list things sometimes. I have a set of Jurassic Park cards, for example, that probably won't sell on CL, and I don't want to deal with eBay. I'd rather get a few bucks than no bucks.

And yes, I found the set in the trash. Some people!

Those are the best kinds of finds. I know some people put cash in their cigarette boxes and forget about them, but I just can't make myself pick up the cigarette box trash and look for money. I will grab all kinds of things, but for some reason I won't touch those.

Re weed: I've found - a few times - old ziplock baggies of the green stuff under rocks in CA surfing areas. Sometimes surfers forget about their stashes.

This was Jesse Pinkman's weed box on the show Breaking Bad. It was auctioned off after the final episode. I bid on it early... $200... (why not!) but it sold for... get this... $5600!!

lol...I somehow don't thing that tagline would last long. I'm in support doesn't mean I partake. I'm in the camp, if I can drink..folks of age can have a toke. Same rules, same laws. Don't be an idiot an drive. It's the meth addicts, crack fiends, etc I worry about. All I got to worry about from a stoner is him stealing my Doritos. ha ha!

Anyhoo.. off topic..I blame Auminer. Yell at him. An if anyone wants to yak about this, my PM box is always open to anyone who'd like to chat in a civilized manner. I won't be talking about it anymore in this thread. Just replying to Auminers post.

I've gotten 3 full golf club sets since I started doing this. Talk about a mixed bag..everything from Ping, to no name clubs.

If I never get rid of them, I have plenty of clubs to toss around, when I get on the course. An yes..I golf. Amazing I know, but i do enjoy it. Wish I had more time to enjoy it tho. I spent a lot of my younger years miserable learning how to golf. lol.
