Of course different states, different laws.
If this happened to me, I would probably visit independent combo gas stations / tobacco outlets and see what could be worked out.
Since I'm not a smoker, I don't know how age and storage conditions would affect cigarettes.

No cable for me either, but a friend told me things are a little more realistic now. Showed them buying junk units for less then $100

It depends on how much I have invested, if the unit the item came from is all ready in profit, & whats the most the item will realistically bring compared to how much storage space it takes up. A standard piece of furniture that wont bring $50 or more is gone after the first run through the flea market. The more space it takes up, the more inclined I am to chit'can it.

Yeah, in the "good ole days" I use to shred or burn important documents. Now, like everything else we, see so much of it & time is money so it just all goes in the recycling bin. More & more facilities don't even want to take back the personal items. There is only one chain that asks anymore to leave the personals & half the time or more I forget to do that. I never have a manager ask me about personals i've forgotten to bring back.

They make mattress and pillow covers that are anti-microbial. The better ones claim to be bed bug, lice, mite and water resistant. I have one on my mattress and my daughters mattress. They're a little pricey, but worth the investment if you have little ones.
