Some people steal checks out of the mail bleach off who its made out to put their name and cashthem. That's not legal not just b/c they stole it from the mail but b/c they altered the check.

This guy would have to write his name on the check.

I'm no lawyer but I would imagine it comes down to intent. Some people give people a check signed nad made out for an amount and let them fill in their own name. I do this with a contractor buddy of mine as sometimes he wants it to himself soemtmes to hiscompany but my intent is that he gets that money just a matter of who he made it out to.

In this instance it clearly was not this persons intent to have this stranger who bought his locker cash the check.

I'm no legal expert but 99.999999% sure its not legal and even if it is its not the right or decent thing to do.

I hate finding boxes of PSP and other portable video games, ipods, etc.

These days the manuals are so thick and there's so much extra marketing, packaging and other crap in the boxes when you pick them up there's some weight to them.

I always get excited thinking I got whatever electronic is in there but open it and and always nothing there. The weight of the manuals and stuff though makes me think there was though.

Not necessarily a smart thing to do but my first auction I took the last $470 in my bank account and went not planning on buying just checking it out. I was impressed...actually...spoiled by my first unit. Bid $400 leaving $70 to last me til next paycheck.

It was a silent/sealed bid auction, won it at $400, luckly gf at the time lived wtih her brother who had a truck I borrowed.

Had to sell a few electronics asap to get some living money back and then took my time selling off the rest. I was hooked and been doing it even since, now have a larger pot of bidding money.

I don't use a credit card, prefer to pay cash as to not get myself into a whole but lots of people are now taking credit cards in my area, personally I'mj not crazy about that but I bring my cc just incase some easy to get rid of high dollar item comes along and I"m short cash. Pretty much soemthing like an out of business store restaurant unit or a car.

Unless your willing to go to sports conventions and set up tables your going to get very little money for your cards. Even if you do go to conventions prices are still pretty low, just not the market for sports memorbilia let alone cards.

I don't think it will ever come back anywhere near what it used to be. It actually used to be an industry, not its more like a hobby. Kids are too into xbox, facebook etc not going to be interested in cards like I used to be and I'm not even that old.

If your not into sports take whatever you can get. Personally for me I am into sports so the pennies I'm going to get for my cards isn't really worth it. I'd rather keep it and give them to my kids. Don't think the value will even be there down teh road but just something cool to have.

I remember when I was younger and collecting my dad always telling me about all these great cards he wish he had kept.

Here's one to get you started

I have a huge collection of personal sports cards from when I was younger but have a whole nohter collection I have found in auctions of baseball, basketball, pokemon, etc cards.

There just doesn't seem to be much of a market for them like there was even when I was younger not that long ago.

If I'm not too lazy I'll start flipping through boxes and just toss all the big names aside and either list them individually on ebay or take them to a card shop. Still don't make very much off of them.

The other option is sell them as an unsorted lot basically say in an ebay listing I havn't looked thorugh these could be some good stuff in there type deal. I think people normally asume even though I am lazy adn didn't look through that I did and took the good cards out so they sell for a price according to taht assumption.

I would say best bet would be go to a card shop you wont geta lot but its less hassle. If you have a giant collection may be worth going to a sports memorbilia convention.

My best lockers seem to come from Philipino people. They wear mostly designer clothes, nice handbags, stuff is well taken care of. Only problem is the stuff is all super small...lol. I was gonna keep some mens clothes and shoes for myself but all size 9 shoes and sleeves are a few inches short for me and I'm not even a big guy like 5'8". Womens clothes are all petite sizes, great stuff but since majority of our population is fat its tougher to sell.
