    Hello gang!
    I'm glad y'all have more than you need. I need cases bad, especially doubles, and can't find anymore. The times I've checked, it's been dry of cases. Looks like my stream has dried up! :eek:(

    Maybe one of these days, I'll hit another load. Keep your fingers crossed for me............

    Dang Sickley your not living up to your name. LOL It's no different than using a bathroom at a concert or sports arena in fact it might even be cleaner.As Garmoon said how do you think Uncle Sam gets so many businesses for not reporting total income.A lot of small businesses aren't smart enough to use shredders and just throw invoices in the trash. If you ever want to see what your companys up to just ask the janitor. Waste baskets contain all sorts of privledged info.Chris

    Sickley, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP.
    4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

    that would work great but some have like 1300 movies it woudl be rough flipping the pages to find what ya want.. not that haven 1300 cases stored somewhere is easier...lol

    its not the fact that we want the cases/or need them. its the thrill of the dive.. you dontknow what your gonna find when ya go in the bush(dumpster). you could go and there be a totally empty dumpster. then it could be loaded with 300-400 cases.in which i have had 2 big dives myself 200+once and almost 400 another. there has been plenty of times i have gotten fro 50-100 cases. on the total i have almost 500-600 on hand.and there is some members here at AD that i have mailed/given some too. also its not just about cases either. ive found countless covers no need to waist my ink on makeing covers when i have the original. have found posters of ne realeses that my sons love. all types of magazines rollingstone, cosmo, PS3,xbox, nickJr. tons of mags just tossed...

    plus it is our duty to protect our landfills from this plastic getting dumped in there these case wont just disinagrate and turn into dirt...

    yes its been a week or so i have been in the bush but that dont mean i dont want to be in there...lol

    FREE IS FREE.

    I don't like the books. I've used them before with cds, and ended up giving them away. No matter how careful you are, dust will get in the pocket, and scratch the dvd or cd. I know this for a fact. I'm extremely careful with my stuff, and they still got scratched. They cost too much, to have them get scratched up.
    I also don't like flipping through the pages, to find a certain dvd. I have them all in alphabetical order on shelves, so they are much easier to deal with. In the books, if you want them to stay in alphabetical order, you'll have to rearrange every one of them, that would come after the new one, you just added! It just ain't worth the trouble.....
    If you can deal with it and like them in books, more power to you. :eek:)

    I scan the covers and print them out, and put in the case. I also print the dvd label, directly on the dvd, with my Epson "R" series printer. This makes my copies look like the originals.
    I like that.

    Do they do this at all of the Block Busters, including Canada? Or just some? I could use some free cases :)
