What is this?

[ams]

Anyone know what these are?

It's a cabinet with a roof on it.
They are where you put the ransom money in kidnapping crimes. The roof is to keep the money dry so the kidnappers don't get mad about wet money. Was it next to an old phone booth, or in a crowded park. You can get them on the FBI.gov website.

You always have a good story

 

[HDvinyl]

Mini smoker?

 

[henryz]

dog house with door.

 

[CreativeCreationGraphics]

Bird house?

 

[Gino]

Who cares ??

 

[bannertime]

Trash apparently. Home made outdoor storage that doesn't even seem to have locking capabilities. The person that made them didn't even use them anymore so they cant be that useful. Looks like it might be useful for storing dog food out by a kennel. You out buying people's abandoned units?

 

[DerbyCitySignGuy]

That is what you call "garbage". Or kindling.

 

[2B]

you appear to be in a storage unit?
you getting into the storage wars TV show?

the item in question appears to be what is called a Library book exchange box

 

[ams]

Book exchange is what I was thinking. Some people use mailboxes and such.

I've been going to storage auctions for 5 or 6 years, purchased 7 or 8 of them. I only bid if I see value, but I did bid on a mystery bin for $1, won it and flipped it for $50.

 

[papabud]

not a bad flip, how much work went into making 50 bucks?

 

[ams]

It was a small cardboard box and a satellite dish sitting in a concrete bucket. Got rid of the sat dish, the box had a pair of dirty boots, and some used plumbing stuff like PVC pipes and some copper. Sold the boots for $10 and the rest for $40. Sold everything in about 10 days.

My best flip ever was a piano, (not a grand, just an upright). That was the only thing in there and everyone said no way and wouldn't touch it due to the weight. I picked it up for $15, took photos to a local piano company, they said it was one of the last models for Kimball before they went out of business, said it was in very good condition but needed tuning. Ended up selling it for $350 as is.

Are those handles on the top? Looks like the boxes locals use to take their roosters to the cock fights.

 

[HDvinyl]

Gino loves cock fights.

 

[Gino]

Yes, I do. You wouldn't know, cause ya hafta have one to participate. ​

BOOM. Gino scores!

 

[HDvinyl]

Gino hasn't scored probably as far back as the last time he used his paintbrush.

 

[Gino]

Awww........... now, you're just reaching. Ya have nothing, so you attack. When you're running on empty, ya just start shooting. Same thing that's wrong with the whole country. Just a buncha angry dummies, not able to control their tempers, so they just go on a spree, for attention.
