- Broken spy satellite. Bought it in 2006, but it never really worked and I didn’t send in my warranty/registration card on time! Can be dropped at your approximate location in a few big pieces or disassembled and shipped in fragments. Great for target practice.
- Presidential Campaign paraphernalia: bumper stickers, lawn placards, hats, hoodies, web hosting plan prepaid through 2016, 30 minutes of prime time on the Hallmark Channel, 600 folding chairs, 8,000,000 frequent flyer miles. Pick them up at the Chappaqua town dump.
- 750,000 unused election ballots. Easily transferred from Kenya to your location in Florida or Ohio.
- 400,000 HD-DVD players. These make a pleasant night-light or clock. Easy to convert to a garage door opener if you have a soldering iron and a few gizmos from Radio Shack. One HD-DVD movie (Ishtar
) and a case of Betamax tapes also available.
- Box of DVCAM tapes that I found in a dumpster near the NFL offices. Looks like guys on the sidelines of a football game making crazy hand and body gestures. Also offering a box containing old bloody gauze, beer cans, used hypodermic syringes and a pizza crust. Call 212-WE-CHEAT and ask for Roger (at Video Bargainville!).
- 13-year-old web portal, search and advertising business. Runs a little slow, backfires frequently, has rust and needs major engine repairs. With a little TLC and a one-time charge to cover severance packages, it could be a nice component in your business empire.
