View Full Version : Best Dollar You've Ever Spent Warm & Fuzzy 12-03-2008, 12:15 AM What was the best thing that you've ever bought for just $1? (Post year 2000, LOL). Chocoholic 12-03-2008, 04:52 PM One time I bought three candy bars after working at the grocery store all day. (This was a few years ago.) It was a long, slow, horrible day. I was major PMS-ing and really needed a big chocolately treat. They were so delicious and really brightened up my mood. That's the story about the best dollar I ever spent :D Chocoholic 12-03-2008, 04:53 PM One time I bought three candy bars after working at the grocery store all day. (This was a few years ago.)

That was pretty neat.

Not sure if that was the *best* but I thought it was pretty damn good considering it was a $20 shirt.

Wow, that is awesome. :lol: I dunno what my best spent dollar was, but it probably was food related. sunshinefizzy 12-05-2008, 05:29 PM A double cheeseburger at Mickey Dee's whenever I got hungry. Zoneboy 12-05-2008, 06:00 PM Since I buy and resale on eBay, There are many times when $1 has been well spent. I bought 2 45 rpm records at a garage sale for $1 and sold one to a guy in the U.K. for $250.00. I bought a role-playing game similar to Dungeons and Dragons at Goodwill for $1 and sold it for $400.00. I've bought several concert tour shirts for $1 each and resold them from $10 and higher depending on the artist. Original vintage tour shirts are a goldmine when found but unfortunately, alot of them are being reproduced. These are only a few examples but you get the idea.

You've got to teach me how to do that. I'm a big eBay-fanatic, but I hardly ever make any money...just spend. :blush: TJL: $1800 is quite smashing! gidgetgrape 12-07-2008, 04:37 PM A long time ago, I got a huge, Madonna poster (circa 'Vogue') that was backed with cardboard and sealed in plastic from an Everything Is A Buck Store. |
