-katana (not sharp :()

-old dell laptop to use to teach a guy 3ds max who will pay me (or i'll donate it since i have another one, too)

This girl gave me her virg-

wait, no she didn't. :(

[Bodzilla]

i spent the hole day thinking about how i was going to get out of my job and begin working for country energy as an apprentice.

Rosted day off every 2 weeks, loads of benefits, and above all else a decent wage.
1st year apprentice earns more then i would after 4 years of cabinet making.

You get things for helping people move? Hmm. I get a "thanks" and that's usually about it.

[HDoan]

All I get was a workout out of it =/

[Jelly]

My friend has a blunt katana. He hit a tree.

[Reaper Man]

Got a free film SLR and an old 35-70 f/3.3-4.5. Too bad it's kinda lousy :saddowns:

M00r five finger discount then king. Then instead of being a king of nothing, you would be a king of something. And if your good enough to not get caught, you will still get your "thanks" and some lovely "souvenirs". ;)

That sword will fucking cut you wide open.

Great catches there Snaf.

I work in the moving business, so I've seen a good assortment of items come my way, but the best (so far) is a fucking huge Sony Trinitron - they are notorious for being the heaviest standard-size TVs, but also famous for their high level of quality. Also, on a regular basis, we get some pretty good tips - usually upwards of $20 for short moves, and $50+ for larger ones - that is, if we don't break anything (which we usually don't) and if the customer simply isn't an ass.

[Kalub]

Donate that laptop to me :(

I've got a Sony trinitron for a Computer screen :D

:iia:
but it's starting to die :(

Usually it's just a Thank you but last year I got:

-A dell photo printer, like new still was in the box :D
-A beat up tractor with a 12 hp engine but it was not worth fixing so it got scrapped. (4 wheels, 12hp engine, and the transmission.)
-Some good wood that I still use.

Thats about the most I have ever got from moving, but from a job site oh boy. Last year I scored around:
-50 pieces of plywood
-5 pieces of 1/8 thick sheet metal
-15 metal painters scaffolding.

All for free, builder didn't want it. Was like a goldmine for a DIY guy.

[flibitijibibo]

Nice woofer, SnaF. I suppose with 5 speakers total you could make a 5.1 system.

Things I earned from the last time I helped someone move:
- Microwave
- Trash can
- 2 really nice stools for my rear speakers
- Pack of old, used DVD-Rs that I erased for backup purposes.
- Printer
- Money for my 8800 GT

holy jesus, that is a goldmine.

Man, everybody i've helped moved gave me diddly. I never really cared, but hey, good for you guys.

[king_nothing_]

Actually now that I think of it, I got offered a few things last time I helped someone move. They were either crappy or I had no use for them though, so I didn't take anything.

[SnaFuBAR]

cerwin vega has the worst wiring system i've ever seen. it will make a nice system if i ever figure out how to set the freakin thing up!

oh also, i've built a custom 16 speaker system for myself before. THAT was awesome.

[SnaFuBAR]

ok i managed to set it up correctly, and all i can say is.

W O W i MUST get a splitter so i can send my pc's audio signal to this thing! holy crap!

140w 8" woofer and two floor standing cabinet speaker units housing another two 10" subs.

:cream:

[FlyingStone]

:picsorstfu:

Please :)

[SnaFuBAR]

there's really nothing special looking about it :| just imagine a black cube with a hole in the front.

[TeeKup]

I'm going to need someone to help me move. I've got all the last gen gaming systems, well over 50 games, a TV, my 360, and all my basic room furniture.

WHO WANTS TO HELP TEEKIE MOVE? :awesome:

[SnaFuBAR]

what'll you let me have of those things??

[TeeKup]

what'll you let me have of those things??

Those 50 games are split between my PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. I'll let you keep half of each.

[flibitijibibo]

16 system? :cream:

I always considered getting another set of Z5500 speakers to make a 10.2 system. Double bass = sex... mm...

[FlyingStone]

Where does Teek live again...

[TeeKup]

South Carolina.

[FlyingStone]

Little off the beaten path. Sorry. :S

[flibitijibibo]

Maybe if I drove all night I could do it. That, and ditch my job/school.

[FlyingStone]

I'd go down but I still don't have my drivers license. I know, I know, I am 16 and don't have it? Truth is I have been procrastinating, also spending 500+ dollars on tools for the tech school I am going into, kinda puts a lot of things on hold.

Oh well. I could bike... Just for Teek

<3

Ill go, if I have monies to fly over there.

[Apoc4lypse]

This.

... I feel like I'm getting ripped off... Next time I'll inquire about speakers XD

I'm trying to think of a day where I got something like that for free from someone.

I guess my old surfboard (broken now though...) more like a hand-me-down though.

uhh I found 20 bucks once (most money I've ever found...)

I did score a canoe for like 20 bucks at a garage sale, needed some TLC but its pretty sweet now, and I don't use it nearly enough. (its like 17 ft long hard to transport... otherwise I'd use it a lot more)

I got an Ipod for like 30 bucks from a friend.. fuck do any of these count, I had to pay money for some of these lol.

Yea, idk I'm out of ideas, can't think of anything really. People don't give me shit, they sell it. lol

[Bodzilla]

oi remember that baggy of shrooms :awesome:

Yes, I would most certainly enjoy grunt coming to help me move. :-3
