    my second dive at my local bb turned up 53 cases mostly the green game cases.i actually didnt have to dive as the cases were in a box right next to the dumpster.i also found an apex dvd player in the dumpster but it wasnt working kept reading all my original and backup dvd's as bad discs so i gave that one away to a friend,maybe he'll be able to fix that one.cant say enough how much great stuff is thrown by bb.thanks to all my afterdawn buds,free is free and happy diving.thanks bigtoxy

    Yeah, but the whole bagged thing isn't really diving in its purest form. It's sort of like shooting baskets with a softball; you know, dorking the fat girl at the pageant (I would never do that). I say, if you don't get durty, it ain't divin'. And I'd have to check but we may need a call on Nemo's outside the dumpster catch. Bylaw Section 2 Part 9 clearly states that catches outside the boundary of the subject dumpster shall not be considered as dived but are collateral in nature, unless ruled as such by the Grand Dumpster Wizard or his agent. Now that being said, it appears BigT has a relationship w/ Nemo that may compromise his decision, therefore excluding him from making a determination in this case. I'm afraid this may have to go right back to JVC for resolution. I'd hate to lose the Grand Prize Dumpster Tongs on a technicality (I'm still hoping for that big score that will put me back in the game).

    - HOWEVER you slice the Pizza it still Taste the same ! Details , Details ! Yeah Technically Using a Grabber or Grabbing a Bag Or Box Full of DVD cases , Movies, Poster's or Other { BOOTIE } { Argh!!!} Isn't Dumpster Diving ? But Technically When your Burning a CDR or DVD-R or DVD+R or DVD+R DL your not making a CD or DVD cause they are Pressed like Vinyl Records Are/were ( He remembers Vinyl ! he must Be the Ancient one ?} But I'n common non -Tweek terms most people say they're Making a DVD or CD ! So I say Whatever works Boxes , Bags , Grabbers ,Hooks ext... !!!! Besides I've Seen the Inside of enough Dumpsters in my Life - Why dou you think sQuatch's Smell Like Garbage ? - I think With all respect To DDp that THe Ruling should Be amended to that if Your Head and upper torso ( from waistline to Topknot ) Are inside the Dumpster Then your Diving !!!! IMHO anyway !!! Besides - Cat Tranquilizers Give me really bad Hangovers ( Ketamine) And I take Offense at Being referred to in the Tranquilizer label as a Sub-Human Primate !!!!-But those are Just Technicalitites !!!! right !!! And it was'nt till recently That I started Finding Bags !normally the BB clerks overload the bags if they use them at all so when they Chuck'em it's DVD case Pinata`- Tyme !!!! But to each their own I suppose ? And to quote the Cosmic Guru and Deacon of Dumpster-Daring Doo !!! Jvc " free IS FREE "

    @bigtoxy

    I am old enough to have some of these, that weren't vinyl.

    78 rpm materials

    Early disc records were made of various materials including hard rubber. From 1897 onwards, earlier materials were largely replaced by a rather brittle formula of 25% shellac, a filler of a cotton compound similar to manila paper, powdered slate, and a small amount of a wax lubricant. The mass production of shellac records began in 1898 in Hanover, Germany, and continued until the end of the 78-rpm format in the late 1950s. "Unbreakable" records, usually of celluloid on a pasteboard base, were made from 1904 onwards, but they suffered from an exceptionally high level of surface noise. "Unbreakable" records could be bent, broken, or otherwise damaged; but not nearly as easily as shellac records. Vinyl was first tried out as a 78 rpm record material in 1940 due to material restrictions. Decca introduced vinyl "Deccalite" 78s after the Second World War, and Victor made some vinyl 78s, but other labels would restrict vinyl production to the newer 33 and 45 formats.

    I've had every technology since there were records and up. Had a 78 player and then the RCA 45 player then a 33 all by the time in high school. Wish I had the 45 player back they are so cool.

    Have a good Mother's Day where ever you'll be celebrating. Leaving now for festivities.

    Excellent diving by all accounts, my boy! You'll have to get yourself a "County Dumpster Inspector" magnet for your vehicle to sidestep unoccupied employees. I include them in my Junior Dumpster Diver Kits that I sell on eBay (*Not an endorsement or recommendation for goods or services, although this kit [which includes starter tongs, inspector magnet, splatter-proof plastic bags, and a golf towel] is far superior to other dumpster diving kits on the market in every respect and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee). Tell 'em RippDogg sent you and I'll throw in a coupon for ten free dives at my new Dumpster Adventure, next to the climbing wall @ Ten Oaks Mall.

    Now RippDogg I don't know if I could trust your dumpster diving kit with free coupons or buy a car from you!I know where 12 oaks mall but it seems you have me over the barrel with 10 Oaks mall. Could this be a snipe hunt by chance? LOL By the way last diveat BB I was greeted by the County Mounty and had to share the small haul with him.! Of course he took the dry ones.In need of a very good book on making furniture out of cases. RippDogg , maybe.

    @ BigT-You might have to wear a helmet-mounted camera when you dart the sucker; video of a wookie w/ a crossbow and a camera strapped to his head chasing a hapless, squealing BB worker around a parking lot at 7am is bound to get a few hits.

    @ Chris-I haven't done much w/ the furniture but I've got a few ideas brewing (Halloween-Dumpster of Doom, Christmas-DumpsterHolidayLand, Easter-Colored Cases, etc). It seems like the furniture thing could float (lol) but external suppliers would surely catch on and next thing you know I'm into some Cincinnati case dealer for great sums and he's got fat guys in Reds jerseys threatening to break my legs. Nah, I'll stick to my business plan. Besides, with all the layoffs up here, these kits are selling like crazy.

    Ah don't worry about them fat guys in Red Jerseys their all old and slow like their Uncle Pete! JVC and BigToxy taught me free is free but didn't warn about the addiction part and no self respecting treatment centers will accept me.So now the neighbors are on me to mow the grass but the lawn mower is somewhere in the shed with the cases! Maybe i'll make a patio with them paint the black ones green and put lights in the green ones to light my way!
