So how many knuckleheads do you think are going to start smashing carts open hoping to duplicate this?  I can just see it now...

On a more serious note, I've played EarthBound today for so long, I feel all tense and mentally worn out.
Then you called your mother and felt better?

After reading this post I decided to open up and look through my entire nes collection cart, by cart. So far Ive spent the entire afternoon and all Ive found was a dead spider. Common snes collection.

you should hold onto all those bills in case you ever get timewarped back to the late 80's. don't want to be without your period-correct emergency funds.

Haha, I use to do the same. I dont think it was ever anything more then $5, and I am sure that always got used to rent a game for the weekend!

Great find. If only this cart could talk, and we can know how the $5000 got there.

Pretty awesome find if in fact this is true, go put that in the bank and sit on it awhile!
Which is why I would be scared shitless to have this.

Hey, I just discovered $5,000 in drug money! Lets go spend it on video games! Pissed off drug dealers? Meh. Who cares!

 

Hear that gun being cocked back? That's one pissed off drug dealer looking to reclaim his earnings. Definitely spend this on the down low. Or send it to me,I'll keep it safe and keep the drug dealers away. =p

Now I know how Tiger paid his hookers without being found out for so long.

Seriously, thats awesome and a tad frightening at the same time. I honestly would have looked online and saw if any of the bills were of additional value, sold ones that were off and put the rest in the bank in increments.


.....and told no one besides those closest with me.

Still the sickest find probably ever on this site...........until someone finds that warehouse of sealed Stadium Events.

Also....I want to bold this so you read it. I would highly reccommend investing in a counterfeit pen before you do anything with that dough. I doubt it is fake since it was hidden but you never know. If you try to deposit and or spend counterfeit money you can expect a visit from the feds. Seriously.

Started a new job. Wont be on as much. Fridays are the new shipping day.
