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

379,166 cans
 

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!)

Wow!
 

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