cincyrob- " free Is Free " says "JVC !!!!" The only thing better than getting a bargain is getting it free ! Good luck on your MovieQuest ! Another Sign or Symptom you can look for that usually means the DVD/Movie /Game /Software -whatever ? is still in the case atleast at Blockbuster is If you get the Lockable cases out of the Dumpster & the Magic Wambo Doojie Yellow /Blue / or whichever color it is Locking stick/mechanism is still in the case Then about 99% of the time you've got the movie too! Sometimes they jam up ? & blockbuster just chucks the whole shebang !{ SheBang ! ,SheBang !!!} & you thought That William Haung ! Could'nt sing !!!? Sometimes they come right out easy & sometiimes it's surgery time But with a few tools and some patience The case and movie can be saved !So far atleast I've never found a dumpstered case that had The lock intact thatdid'nt have the movie too !What makes me sick is when they through the case,movie,& cover out all together & you open the case and see the DVD Label then Pop out the disc and It's either Been Scratched into next Tuesday or they've run it through The (Dimple-ator!!!!!! & it won't be back ! Found 100 + copies of CRASH awhile back with The dvd still in the case ! all but Three had met their Untimely Death BY DIMPLE-ATION ! It's not that I liked the movie all that much ? I thought it tanked ! But I could've sold 'em off or pawned them for cash ? But I got the cases anyway ! & a free T-shirt From The Neptune manager Girl ! Of cousre it does'nt Come in sasquatch sizes so I gave it To my Step-Daughter Who looks better in it than I would anyway ! Anyhow Might Go Back Thursday & check again ! As Borat Would say " Is Nice ,I like !!!" CiaO! America!!!!

OK. So I made my first excursion into dumpster land today. Found 7 empty cases and 3 bags of cardboard/pasteboard things; must be hundreds of them. Each one is about 5.5 x 8 inch with pictures of the movies on them. I guess they are the "shelf labels" where BB puts up their rentals. Near perfect condition; several with multiple copies and look like never used.
Other than being a curiosity for a movie you might have, are these of any interest to others?
Which day is best for diving - Tuesday or Wednesday?
What time is best - morning, afternoon, or evening?
Might have been covered, but then I have not read all 40 pages in this thread.

And Remember Unless Your CincyRob Nobody hit's everytime the go Dumpstering ? well maybe JVC But he started the ball rolling ! On Your revamped Signature? - maybe I had'nt re-read it till Now ? Kind of reMinds me of That Army Or marine Corps ? Saying about My Rifle " This is My Rifle ! there are many others Like it it ! But This One is Mine !" - How about" This is my Dumpster There Are may others like it & They're Mine too !!!" Greed is Good LOL!!!!! Just Kidding!-"This is My Dumpster There are many others like it So Spread Out ( Moe Stooge )" - Quiet Numbskulls I'm broadcasting !!! LOL just Kidding !!! " This Is Agent Charles From the FCC ! Please Reduce your Power and Step Away From the Transmitter ! This is not a Drill ? On a Lighter Note Tina Nordstrom is back on Pbs - I just love it when she talks in swedish ! Oh well - as they say in sweden - "GerFlarken Nargen Gooble Flargen? " Okay They don't actually say that But it sounds like that" Like the swedish Chef on the muppet show !!!! Well Later then I suppose ? Good Day & Good Diving !!!! SkOal /Ciao !

its more along the lines "This is my rifle, This is my Gun. this is For fighting this is for fun" yup have said that alot when i was in the army... dont ever call your rifle a "gun".....lol flash back there..lol
well i went through the rest of the cases. no more movies.. so i guess it was a ok dive. 162 cases about 40 of them double sided, and 1 movie itself...
i dont hit it big every time i go in the bush(dumpster) i just brag/get loud about it when i do...lol.... its to the point now i dont need the cases really. i just like doing it to see how many i can get so i can bring them to show and tell here.....
how many covers do ya want greensman, which ones...

cincyrob- I was'nt going to Go there! But that's cool ! & while we're on the subject of weapons ? Does a sasQuatch With 3Beef and Bean Buritos Constitute a WMD ? = ( Weapon of Mass Destruction) or = (Whew!!!!! ,Man !!!! Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) or WMD- { Weapon of Malodorous Destruction LOL! ) Just a thought !!!! Just Picking at you ? Yeah ! after you've been Diving for a while You get caught up on cases Unless your running a Video bussiness ( Wedding Video's ) ect... Or Burning lot's of data Disc ? Or You have a big family & your The go to Technology Guy or Gal ? equality spoken here ! But It get's addictive Like colllecting anything else ! Or Like Gambling Will I hit Big next roll, hand or lever Pull ? Or maybe a lil' Bit Like fising ? will I catch any today ? or will I catch The Mother of all fishes Today ect... Will My dumpster be full of movies and cases or Just trash ? It's almost a Zen Conundrum ? You can never be too Rich, too Thin, or have too Many cases ? It's the Poke'mons of Dumpster diving Gotta' Get'em all LOL! Oh well Back to Vanna later Buddy!

cincyrob- Saw him once in concert ! when I was Dating The Wife- Seemed pretty decent ! Music-wise ? It may have been set up ? But a Marine Was in the audience in the First Couple of Rows from the stage in his Dress Uniform & The Marine Gave GaRth The hat From his Uniform ! Garth Got Kinda Full Up { He appeared Genuinely & sincerly Touched by The gesture !} & He paused Momentarily and said " Something like " I was always taught that if someone gives you something you should give them somthing in return ! Or If someone Does you a good turn , You return the favor in Kind ? AnyHow he called to someone in his crew That was underneath the Stage ! & they handed him a acoustic Guitar & a MarkSalot Pen ! He autographed the Guitar & gave it to the MariNe ! I thought that was a Nice gesture on gis part! IMHO! Regardles if The Guitar was a Martin , yamaha or a $20.00 Pawn shop special? AnyHow cincyrob! Watch out for the Methane ! It's deadly ! Literally especially in" Confined Spaces!!!"- Thank You safety Films at work ! So Lift the Lid when you Dive and make sure There's Plenty of air Down there Too & no smoking ,no open Flame! Okay! Dive safe !, Live Long and Beware of The Lizard people ! CIAO! Ps#1.0 - One more Methane/Garth related Pun - The Thunder Rolls!!!!!!!!!!! -LOL!

Wed am when I dropped off 3 in the drop box, drove around back peeked in and had a gold mine. All in bags,clean, some had original covers. Total of 194. Haven't had to buy any in quite awhile. I used to order from Meritline 100 for $25/to my door. Now I stop 2 times a week and fill my trunk up.
We never stop learning.

2colors- Great Going- ! So depending if you Bought your cases Before - at meritline like you said ($25.00 per 100- in Bulk ) or if you went to wallyworld or wherever and bought in smaller packs ( 5to 10-for $1.00ea. ) You probably saved yourself anywhere from $48.50to -$ 194.00 as they say in those convience stores "What a bargain ? Ho ! Ho!" LOL! Coninued good luck and watch out for miss Thang ! & Beware of the lizard people !

Greetings from Buffalo NY! Blockdumpster has yielded a good quantity of cases here. Haven't yet counted them but my trunk is fairly cluttered with smelly reward. Praise to JVC for completion of another successful hunt.
