The beauty of coinstar!

[domestichell]

Today i was sitting here thinking about if i could sell any parts i had so i can supercharge my car and it came to me. I picked up a arrowhead bottle about ¾ of the way with mainly pennies and another bottle with quarters took them to coinstar and made 202.62$ from chunk change, i think i had somethingl ike 13'000 pennies and other assorted change. Finally!, I have the money for a used but never used HO intercooled p-1sc-1 and after a new fuel pump and 42lb fuel injectors i should boost 7-8 psi (sea level) and gain probably around 50-65% HP.....I'm telling you people....save that change, It will come in handy!!!!

I've probably got at least $100.00 in the new style quarters that for some reason I can't part with. :)

Try working in a detail shop on the vac stage. I walked with my pockets banging my knees every day. Now only if people wouldn't tailgate I'd still have all the change.

how much does coin star charge? is it a percentage? i remember it being a fairly high percentage. I just wrap my coins myself and save some money.

[domestichell]

yea its shitty...umm....8 cents to the dollar

If you have a checking account, most banks will do it for free if you bank with them, if not they will do it for like .03 on the dollar or something. You can also just buy a cheap ass money sorter and some paper rolls and do it that way, then you just give it to the bank and they give you cash back. That's what I do. Over the years I've probably gathered around $500 in change. What I want to do is just get a five gallon bucket and cut a slit in the top and fill it up over the years with like just quarters or something. It wouls make a nice, untaxed, downpayment on a car someday.

exactly, a five gallon arrowhead bottle or something filled with change from a day.....i wish i woulda thought about just going to the bank....but i think it might have taken a really long time....its not to easy to count and sort 13 thousand pennies.

that realy makes no sense does it...."filled with change from a day"......what the hell was i thinking

[stu]

It doesn't take too long when they dump it all into an industrial sized coin counter. :p

[domestichell]

well in that case, thanks for the idea...i think I’ll build a shrine with the word "STU" carved out of pure diamond and pray to it nightly in a ritualistic fashion in order to obtain an infinite wisdom of this planet.....that you seem to have acquired somehow...if thats ok with you

[Chevy454]

the bank will do it for free. Ive cashed in about $100 doing that before.

1st Bank does it for free... they didn't ask for account number or anything. I gotta little Tootsie Roll jar that will hold around $50... ever since then, I've been saving change and it's a nice little bonus every few months.

I have a huge plastic beer bottle about halfway full of anything silver. I also have a tupperware container full of pennies.

That sounds fine, but don't use a suede pillow it gives me a rash. Also, if you want to know everything in the world, just be 20- years-old like me. I mean really, name one 20-year-old who didn't know everything there was to know?:o

[domestichell]

hahaha i am twenty brutha.....4-17-83......anything else, to make your stay more comfortable?

[stu]

Will if you really are twenty, then you shouldn't have to ask me anything becuse you will already know the answer. When I get stuck, I usually ask that guy in the little window above the sink. he always tells me I'm hot though, it's kind of creepy.

[domestichell]

well i really am twenty....but as for knowing everything....thats where the shrine comes in, I dont have a sink window....what do i do when im confused

[stu]

You don't have a little window with a guy in it that looks real familar, but you can't remember where you know him from? When you are confused, call up one of your friends, and say something that will confuse them. Don't even warn them, just spit out some garbage, and right when they reach the climax of confussion, you will regain all your confidence and be able to work through any problem that is holding you back. Now, just so you know, I jsut made all that shit up and have never done it before, but it might work for you, so I'd go ahead and try it.

[exciv2000]

stu, I'm gonna tell you this as a friend... you're fucking weird!

[stu]

See, Scott has his very own creative ways of boosting his confidence. I promise you this though, if I ever see you in real life, I won't even hesistate...TO GIVE YOU A BIG HIGHFIVE!

I just go downtown and steal all the money I can from the bums. Its pretty cool that they leave cash in there too! Change is nice..but bills are ALWAYS better! :)

[domestichell]

. . . you steal from bums??

[Steve_C]

i have 2 emptied out alize bottles, one filled to the brim , the other about 80% filled, all with dimes. i'm guessing i have around 170.00 bucks from that alone, i also have a little bucket that use to have lychee jelly snacks filled with all my other change plus about 68 bucks worth of $2 bills
