What's that doing in there?

Post by R Cane »

This happened to me today, and I thought it might make an interesting thread...
What bizarre / oddball / cool thing(s) have you found in a item lot you've gotten from Craig's, eBay, whatever...totally unrelated to what you purchased?

There are a few thrift stores near me, and I check them out once or twice a week - you never know what might come in. One of these is where I found my first T-Maxx (I know, I know, big surprise someone gave that to a thrift store)...I bought it for $40, cleaned it up and put on about $25 in new parts, then sold it for $200. They may not be the highest quality thing out there, but there are plenty of people willing to buy them.

Anyway, I went to this same thrift store today...no RC stuff, but I bought a box of Duplo blocks for my kids for $2. I did a quick dig through the box to make sure there wasn't anything small or sharp hiding in there, then gave the box to my son. A bit later, he comes over to me holding something, and says "dad, what's this?"
It was:

a 2011 silver bullion coin

Wow. I really thought they kinda went through this stuff before they put it on the shelf...no idea how I missed it. Paid for the trip, though!

I got a nice set of restaurant quality stainless serving utensils in a box of rc stuff from craigslist. Cleaned them up real good and use them all the time.

Nude pics ALWAYS count!
Well, unless it's Nancy Reagan or someone like that...you can keep those to yourself.
