How I Spent My $1400.00

[Monsters For Sale]

I am going to make a couple assumptions for this thread.

     1.  Most of us were sent $1400.00 by the IRS.  (PLEASE no political discussion about the funds/origins/distribution.)

     2.  Many of us didn't need the money for anything vital like food or rent.


That leaves us with the interesting question of what we each did with the money.


     Here's what I spent mine on:


FRANKENSTEIN - Squirt Gun - 4.5 in. - Azrak-Hamway Int'l - (AHI) - No. 6209 - 1974

Wow! A GRAIL! Congrats!

I don't expect everybody to blow their whole wad on a single item.  More likely, collectors will decide to buy the whole line of NECA Universal Monsters, etc.

Have you made any plans on how you hope to spend some of your $1400.00?  Anything you've put off that now seems doable?

Now THAT item is cool!!

I used mine, plus more, to level out the concrete in my breezeway.  My wife is using hers for new patio furniture, a new door, and supplies for a new wooden deck.  I was really hoping to buy a really good comic with mine, but unfortunately adult life had to happen.

Man.  Growing up must really suck.

How did it get unlevel and how did you fix it?

I was thinking of getting all of the 1950s Universal sci-fi/horror blu-rays that I don't have, but that would only be a couple of hundred. Haven't got the money, yet.

I'm going to get a new MTB- with suspension this time! They didn't have that stuff back in the 80's, last time a bought a bike. Just to add insult to injury my loving ex-wife told me she makes too much money to get a check.... Ah the mistakes we make in life... lol

A portion of the slab cracked due to the surface on one side sinking about an inch.  I found a nearby company that will cut a small hole into the concrete and pump a mixture under the slab to level it.  It's pretty neat to see.

Which is why I avoid doing so.

Cool! Never heard of that method.

Yea, the raising the concrete is Mud Jacking and is pretty common if you don't have the funds for replacement.  My $1400. Goes right back to uncle scam.  Been on disability and forgot to pay last years taxes.
