I may bore most'o youse dufes with this crap, but F-it, I'm havin' fun with it. On our Nashville/Atlanta trip, we attended a few estate sales. I was at one house wandering around and looking for anything small I could pick up for a song and maybe make a buck on. I was in what would have been a home office in a spare bedroom and picked up a couple printer ink cartridges for a buck apiece (they sell like hotcakes, even if they're many years past expiration). Then I spotted a battery operated pencil sharpener on the desk. I didn't think much of it ... but after a few minutes, I decided to see if I might be able to make $5-$10 on it. I whipped out the ol' I-Phone, did a quick search on e-Bay ... and proceeded to almost crap my pants! It was one of those WTF moments. Sheesh, these things are bringing anywhere from $65-$85 USED!!! Huh?? Heck, I snatched that puppy up, paid my $1.00 and added it to my stash. I'm quickly learning not to count ANYTHING out ... ya' just never know. Here's one that just sold a few weeks ago for $83.08 (w/shipping). It's persactly like the one I picked up for a buck. (anybody got's one'a these hidden away in the back of a forgotten drawer?)
