(Must not feel envious... must not feel envious...)

I wonder sometimes how people end up with a collection like that. What is the protocol for a casino to dispose of its chips when it closes? I mean, if they're supposed to be destroyed, how does someone walk out with a "suitcase" full of them?

What a great "Good Luck" story. The best I've heard in a while. Congrats!

I always dream of finding some amzing treasure at garage sales, but everytime I go to one everything is absolute junk. I really don't want someone's porcelin chicken pitcher!

My best garage sale find was one of those old double rebreather apparatus for diving. I sold it to a guy who owned a dive shop for about $450 bucks worth of dive gear and only paid $25 for it.

Still waiting to find chips at a garage sale besides the plastic bicycle chips.

I was lucky enough to find 435 paulsons on eBay for a buy-it-now price of $35. One happy seller, one happy buyer
