The Results Of Jephs Dumpster Diving: Issue #1

[ncyphe]

This week:

So, heres what I found in a blockbuster dumpster. Its a window ad for Transformers the movie. Its huge! (I think 5 feet by 4 feet) Its not a normal poster, its vinyl, and really sturdy. I dunno, this could even be worth money some day! But for now, its on a wall in my room. Enjoy :P

Lol. Theaters actually have those things given to us for free, so when the movie comes out, we just trash them. Sure some of claim them, but most hit the dumpster.

I usually take claim on anything that has lights in them. I have 5 of the 7 lights (good lights) that cam out of a "Underworld 2" standee, and the lights from the remote control standee of "Click."

Over a year ago, my theater had this nice standee for MI3 which featured two strobes that made a picture of a match look like it was being lit. I wanted them so badly, but it got trashed before I got to it.

Hint: I great place to find great trash is a Theater, but you have to be careful, as a theater not only has great stuff, but a lot of stuff you'd rather not get on your hands.

Lol. I'm super surprised at how well everyone is taking this. Hell yeah. I will try to find some more stuff, and make issue number two. Even if I can't find anything this week, I've got a stack of a certain *something* that I can post next Sunday. :3

I know its not "worth money" in the sense that Blockbuster had to pay to get it. I think it will be worth money in like 10 years, when we are at "Transformers XI"...and some nerd wants to buy the promotional poster from the original movie xD Its worth money in the sense that Pokemon cards are worth money. You hold them, hoping the value will come up someday...but, you know deep inside-it never will.

Fair warning. Those things are VERY prone to tears, though they're really snaps. I can barely pull them the damn things off the windows when we change 'em without them breaking.

Also. Next time, see if they're any destroyed discs. They may not work, but they're damn fun to throw around when you're bored. Another thing to watch for are the large cardboard displays. I have Will Ferrel's and John Heder's heads in my trunk right now. I missed the Saw IV display by a day though. Damn that sucked.

Last bit now. I have you beat. I actually got an old printer out of our dumpster. Not sure who left it there. Now we have the old heater from our roof in there. Wish I could pull that beast out.

I BEAST J00 WITH YU-GI-OH.

Check out "The Herb Thread" and see how much I take law into account. Rofl.


And yeah...I know they snap easy. It pissed me off, cause it kept sticking to itself while I was trying to put it up. Notice the tacks above Optimus Primes head. Those are there because I ripped it almost in half. Lol.
