stuff from next door.
we found out that the pple who used to live in the house beside us wernt paying thier rent and thats y they left. so now the owner is dumping whatever they left in there and paying us a hundred dollars for 2 weeks for using our electricity. anyways on with what we got:
some speakers
a clock stand (has a clock and there are shelves underneath it, a little hard to explain until i can get a pick of it up)
a old radio (from like the 20's - 40's or something like that) that doesnt work, jason is going to try and fix it and if he cant then we will keep the stand its in and use it to store stuff.
some video tapes
a few record players
a pretty necklace im wearing right now
a unicorn picture (probbably going to jason's dad
a decorative plate
and a few other things that i cant think of and we might be getting more stuff
it just depends on whats in there.

Very cool!
And that's great that they're paying you for electricity use.
Let us know the additional finds!

That's awesome! You never know the value of something until you polish it up a bit.
My neighbors are moving, and right now, good riddance to them... I am now stuck trying to figure out how to explain to DD that sometimes people lie... (long story short-- neighbors are moving, offered me their bunk bed... I said yes, then DD asked them if she can have it, they said yes... I just found out they gave it to someone else... who already HAS one
)
I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

That sounds great! It is true, you never know what you truly hold in your hands. Maybe you can flog something of it on ebay. Lady V, I am sorry that your neighbour acted that way.

found out the radio is from about 1929 and it will pick up am only and that its worth a little over $1,000 today he found a couple of super nintendo games that we are either going to sell to one of his brothers, ebay or one of the game stores, a couple more tapes. lol, wondering what he will find after he gets off work if he goes over again.
