hmmm... Close to home, perhaps I'll buy this one.:scratch2:

Hmmmpf !! Mere pocket change...Barely a trifle...<grin>

With the price of aluminum up, I wonder how many empty beer cans it would take to buy that set?
Dan

The average aluminum beverage can weighs 14 grams. 1 pound is 454 grams. that means about 32-1/2 cans per pound. My last pile of scrap aluminum sold for $.40 per pound. That makes a can worth about 1.2 cents. When I looked at the auction the price was $4550.00. Divided by 1.2 cents per can gives 379,166 cans. You'd better start drinking right now! :beer:

Seller accepts Paypal, MC/Visa, Cashiers check and empty Beer cans. :lmao:

I bet you could find that in my county easily with about a week and a pickup truck. I don't want to change the subject and get on a litterbug rant but it does suck to have to look at the droppings of the scummiest animal on the planet.

There is a good side to everything though! There is a whole group of scumbags that are givving an offering to buy someone a cool prewar TV......

I remember when my uncle had a box full of beer cans that wouldn't fit in the back of a large pickup truck. (the box had contained some sort of machinery) My uncle was responsible, I estimate, for 90% of those cans. Now to estimate how many cans were in there...

(this is the uncle who doesn't buy his beer at the store...the delivery truck comes right to his house!)

$19,400! I watched the last 10 minutes of the auction. The numbers were rolling by faster than a gasoline pump!
