BlockBuster Dumpster !

Hey, I've heard of and saw, of local BlockBuster employee's putting old, scratched/ unused games (like N64) in a dumpster (located near most Blockbusters , either in the Parking Lot or in the back of the store)

Does anyone know if they do this often? becuase I sure do need new err.. old games :p

A friend of a friend told me that Best Buy throws/threw out systems that were damaged from shipping. But I don't think this is true because wouldn't they send it back if it was broke?

Yeah its true that some places do throw out stuff like that. If you can find some that have open dumpsters you can take the stuff, repair it, and then either use it or sell it.

I went and did that one night with my broher, but didnt find anything. Though most of the places we looked had those dumpsters that are open only to the building so "dumpster divers" cant salvage anything.

This was on topic, cause it was spam so was my post about asking you whether or not you were banned.

I don't really think they would throw anything usefull out. Some employee would take it off their hands probably I guess you could get lucky once in a while with a good find but my local blockbuster has a huge disc doctor and they sell all of their used games.

Sam, use PM, please.

and Me getting unbanned and called a spammer, has NOTHING to do with BlockBuster Dumpters.

I doubt you'd be able to find anything, because chances are the 'good stuff', if there was any, would be under a thick layer of crap.

So your sure that asking a question is considered spam? I find it funny that you say this is spam, sorry but your wrong. And if you going to make a big deal about Hotdog-Cart being back PM him, otherwise dont bother posting it.

yeah, what he said, just because HDC used to be a spammer doesnt mean you can do stuff like that. its annoying to say the least, and hotdog, keep the new topic number low for a while, people might not like to see several new topics by a previously banned spammer in the span of less than a day.
