need to get back into afterdawn habit, but w/e. I'll I found were some broken furneture. I did get a broken ipod nano from a friend, only thing is the flash memory is shot and the screen is busted soooooooooo.... yeah I was also caught on camera looking at the gamecrazy's/hollywoodvideo's dumpster but I had no luck.
nailedny- wb - Girl ! Glad your still with us if only in spirit ! LOL! ( I saw a Show on VH-1 all about The Mega-Rich and their ultra -Tricked out -Pimped to the Max Yachts ! Which really would have nothing to do with afterdawn.com or Dumpster Diving except ! They did a piece in the show about the Man who Started /Owns Blockbuster ! who's name eludes me right now ? and Who's Mega -rich !Actually Started out in The Garbage Bussiness ! True He started with one truck and built it into a Empire " Luke I'm you father ( Gasping sounds !!!) LOL! Then he got into video ( Blockbuster ) So in a way he's still in the trash bussiness LOL! He probrbly also has the contract to service blockbusters dumpsters too! ( don't know that for a fact but would make sense ) Take money from his right pocket & put it back in the left ! well nailedny again it's great to hear from some of the Old Krewe - again Yourself included ! and Hope you don't forget us ? Come back & visit when you can ! Happy Hunting ( diving ) Safe driving & Merry Christmas to you family & everyone ! Ciao !
21Q- Did they come out and shoo ! you away ? or did you just see the camera move and hear the lens zooming ?
Found half a dozen cases and 4 PS2 Cheat books still in the shrink wrap. Guess what the boys are getting for Christmas?! Nope, not my cases....
RippDogg- Thats the spirit ! lookout for blockbuster generic dvd paper covers stapled together to make a crude envelope ! Found two of those awhile back- & each had a DVD in them - One was It's a Wonderful life & the other was an Indian Movie ( in Hindi ) & both were in Clean playable shape ( Minor scratches -wear & tear ) !!!Aslo be on the lookout for the Locking style ( Blockbuster rental cases) Sometimes the Lock mechanism gets stuck & they chuck case Movie & all in the dumpster- 9 out of 10 times if the locking yellow stick is still in the case so is the movie & with a little ingenuity and some Hemostats & maybe a cordless drill you can rescue both the cases & the dvd !Walmarts sells some Hemostats /Locking pliers in the fishing ddepartment for a few dollars & theese work well ! Good luck & happy Diving RippDogg & Merry Xmas !
....(thinking....thinking....thinking)...."It's Christmas morning and look at that poor guy hunting around in the dumpster honey. Run over there and give him some cases." Happy Holidays everybody, and quad cases to all.
Merry Christmas BigToxy, and to all the other AD people out there, Merry Christmas to all from "Sunny" CHarlotte, NC.
blivetNC and on christmas eve I got a Broken truck a Laptop computer and a Univeral Remote & a cold - Thank You santa !LOL!
@bigtoxy69 Watch out for that cold, a number of people here have gone into pneumonia after several days. My daughter was one. A little Amoxil does wonders tho.
garmoon- THANX for the concern ! I think I nipped it in the bud for now anyways ! Took some NyQuil Capsules ( The Big Horsie Green ones ) when I was on my rest days from work & slept alot ! So seem to be better for now ! Post christmas Update ! Truck is fixed and back home with Me ! Laptop was broke & or Deffedtive right out of box ( Back To wallyworld were you came from Compaq V5305WM) Ordered A laptop from Newegg Should come today ! Still have'nt [rogrammed the universal remote yet but maybe my hunnydew job today or tommorow ? The cold /flu whatever has been making the rounds of my wifes side of the family mainly the lil'ones but thankfully nothing more serious than regular symptoms & some barfing ! & most everyone seems to be better so I guess it's batten down the hatches and dive into a new year ? Or in our case ( Pun not intended !!!) Flip open the dumpster lids & dive ! Dive , Dive !!!! Free is free "JVC" Good luck & Prosperity for you & family & everyone in 2007 Ciao!!!!

Blockbuster was nearby so To the Dump , Ta da dump. To the dumpster I went - & the cases were there bigtimr ( relative to my more recent dives anyways !) Got 134ases - 106 singles & 28 Doubles the kind that don't have a flapper for the second disc - Most of the cases still had the original covers - the doubles were the Davinci code - & they had a lot of the movie click cases to!

Way to go Big. I did 2 dives and found nothing!! Nothing but trash, that is. It finally got cold up here in the frozen tundra. I won't get in there and dive with a big winter coat. It is suppose to warm up again on Thurs. so maybe............ I'll keep you posted.
nailedny- YEAH ! I hear ya' It's been raining every other day or atleast it seems like it here so Dumpster diving almost takes on a literal meaning ! & It's cold though not like the NYC I'm sure ! don't feel bad I've been finding the two's and fews till yesterday so I know what you mean! again WB ! nailedny & good luck diving into the new year! CIao!
there's threads you go to, to get some quality help with stuff. there's threads you got just to shoot the breeze. there's threads you go to, to GET INTO a arguement... then there's threads you go to, to just laugh you azz off... this is one of them i love this thread.. whats sad is i seen this thread when it first started, thought everyone was going to hollywood video not blockbuster.. so needless to say ive tried hollywood about 5 times and have only come up with 1 PS2 game case. yup i used it for a movie...LMAO...
i hope BlivetNC doesnt see these 2 post back to back like this cincyred ontop of boston redsox again...lol just jokeing RIPPDOGG... blivet is a big redsoxfan
