If You Had Money, Vol. 1, Iss. 10
Posted on December 3rd, 2008 by Mike under if you had moneyEach Wednesday, I post a weekly update to the digest “If You Had Money”, which shows the sporting goods and memorabilia you could purchase if disposable income was no longer a thing of the past. Each week, it will inevitably leave you wanting…
If you do a search for ‘bankruptcy’ on Ebay, it returns 322 results. Which frankly, is lower than I expected.
Regardless, liquidation is the theme of the season, my friends. Take these guys for example, they’re unloading five tons of brand spankin’ mint condition baseball cards!
The IYHM post is usually reserved for excessive and decadent purchases (bowling alleys, zambonis, Segway rickshaws, etc. etc.), but since this is such a righteous deal ($9.95 a pop for a set of 100, no shipping, no handling), I had to post.
I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is hell yeah, I just bought some. And I’m highly looking forward to turning around and selling all the Mantles, Ryans, Seavers, and Fisks for boku bucks!
You’re probably saying to yourself: hey, goofball, this doesn’t really sound like a recession proof venture. I completely agree. But I figure if it doesn’t work out fiscally, I can always just get my mom to decoupage them…
