    Nice finds just now at my dumpster......
    A ten-speed bike
    A very nice coffee table
    A nice lounge chair
    A nice cast iron fruit basket

    Threw it all in the back of my truck and will be delivering the goods to the local auction house in a couple hours.

    Here is my prediction on what items will sell for..........

    BIKE--$35
    COFFEE TABLE---$35
    CHAIR---$30
    CAST IRON BASKET---$30

    TOTAL......$130.............minus 20% commission

    PROJECTED NET PROFIT-----$104

    Easy money!!!

    I have never lived in a state where the consensus IQ is any lower than in this state.

    Get this, I buy Mike Alstott cards on ebay for a nickel and sell them for a minimum $5 here...............I really should attack this angle more. However, I currently have about 399 Alstott cards in my possession that need to be unloaded, many of them rookies.

                    well... my bro and his wife make over 250k/year.. they won't throw away anything.. sell anything they don't need instead... and go to flea markets, etc.. so some people are prone to looking..

                    i still say he's buried

                                  Fishface, you mention in the title "my dumpster". You don't own those dumpsters; you only own what you manage to pull out of them.

                                  When you're digging for smaller stuff in smaller spaces, make sure not to spend too much time down there without coming up for air.

                                              He might be broke or this is why he has cash. He is shrewd and a big time grinder in whatever he does. In NJ area you cannot do this because you would be labeled as broke but in Florida it is accepted because the state is so poor.

                                              I never saw a guy what to turn a profit in anything he sees or touches.

                                                unfortunately it's true Ambly. With most pro gamblers, even when they have a lot of $, they will shit in their pants before allowing a dollar go uncollected.

                                                  Does anyone envision Fishface in the fight of his life against an angry raccoon not taking kindly to his foraging space being invaded?
