Elsewhere, on some lousy other forum, some people said they get over a penny each for tabs on eBay, and on CL they sold 500 for 10 bucks, with 20 bucks for over 1000 tabs.
One person said they were watching an eBay auction for 2,500 tabs, with the bid at $30.00.
I'm running to pull my tabs, and start a new bucket. This is another excuse to drink some more beer!
