Not going to prison for drug charges.

I ordered a vitamix online and they gave me money back after it didn't show up after a week....next day it showed up. Another time the ski hill was suppose to give me a free day pass and instead they gave me a seasons pass....

Visiting Machu Picchu with my girlfriend at the time for free was cool - my card just never got charged for the both of us. Technically I've gotten 'better' deals, but that one had to be one of the most satisfying.

Saved 15% (or more??) by switching to Geico
EDIT: Asics tiger PTG's $20, originally $120 - bought (2) pairs which will live in my closet. I've had the same pair for over a year and they have lasted through desert hikes, snow in Sweden, drenched in Yosemite, dozens of miles at the gym treadmill and much more walking around NYC/LA.

He calls me the next day to buy another..

alright I think it looks like we have a classic "dont f with cats" situation going on here. Is rick the equivalent to Manny Lopez?

I'm just guessing jizz is all he had and he was going to let you in on his daily earnings.

I rented a van on Molokai and they never ended up charging me for it. Granted I couldn't really understand what they were saying at all since they had super thick pidjin accents but I never got a charge on my bank statement. Also in college a foreign exchange student bought me lunch once. My roommate thought they were trying to initiate hanky-panky but I think they were just hungry. Hungry for food to be clear. It was pretty good too.

Gifts a gift. I wish i had my mesa back though it was way less valuable than what i ended up with so it was a good deal

2 JL Audio 12w3's in a B Box ported enclosure with a Kicker CX600 amp for $100 from a pawn shop. Sales dude was a little bummed, cause he had his eye on em for payday. Retail would have been around 800. Used probably 400. Not the hardest hitters in the world, but they sounded and pounded great. Lasted about 4 years of daily abuse during my commute before one finally blew. Upgraded subs and amps, but still have the CX and the other JL. Probably gonna throw it in my daughter's car.

Remember those black & red special edition U2 iPods? When I was like 15 or so some girl at the skatepark traded me one (def stolen) for like 5 cigs and $20.

So back when I was single 2003ish and was living with a buddy at his pool house, I'd be a wingman for my tactless rollerblading homie. We'd go to raves and punk shows and I'd talk my friend up something fierce the ladies were swooned by my antics not so much my homie but whenever a gal was down for him I'd get my choice of cash or musical instrument. I've calculated at least 25k easily and he never has mentioned like umm can I get that back? nope he's an ace guy.
I know I know it sounds lame to ask for anything to which I did not ask he made a proposition years beforehand if we go out together on the town I got your back and you got mine? When he stepped up and asked me if I knew someone who was a lady of the night?
I knew a few me and said prostitute would have a deal which wasn't bad. They'd get 40% and his number if something ever happened say bail money or stuck out in BFE he'd pick them up and they'd work it out in trade.
Honestly he still is my friend to this day and yes if I were single I'd chat up the ladies for him....

Back in 2017, I was trying to decide on whether I wanted a PS4 or an Xbox One so when I stumbled upon this Ebay post I couldn't resist giving it a try despite being somewhat skeptical that someone would sell an Xbox One so cheaply with that many games and free shipping. All I had to do was replace the controller cover which was no big deal.
So, when the thing arrived I wasn't able to insert my games inside of the console and I thought it must have been broken until I tried the eject button and a bonus 10th game came out. It's already 2020 and I've had zero issues with it so far, hopefully this post doesn't jinx that.

This next story is somewhat unrelated, but last year at Goodwill I noticed they made the mistake of labeling an Xbox One as an Xbox 360 and were selling it for only $30, which would have been a huge steal but I decided since I've already been lucky enough before I'll just let someone else spot it and hopefully it makes their day.

When I worked at gamestop, people would always trade in consoles and forget they had games in them. We didn't test them for some reason lol. So if you found a game after they left you traded that shit in yourself and made some money, pretty sure a dude left a porn in once.
Also bums used to come in with obviously stolen shit. We're talking like 4 controllers sealed, 3 copies of the same game for different systems, a bunch of shit in a backpack from Walmart down the street. When shit like that would happen we wouldn't say anything, do it quick for them but they wouldn't notice a couple things they brought in we didn't trade in, they wouldn't want a receipt either. End of the day you cash that shit out for yourself. Made a killing every week all those years ago.

Back when a hamburger from McDonald’s was 95 cents including tax, I bought a single hamburger after school once and paid with a dollar. They must’ve thought it was a $10 bill and gave me appropriate change for that amount lmao. That was the peak of my life.

couple years ago building a PC i was looking for cheap cases, I found a used Fractal Define R5 in great condition for £20 - it was listed as an unbranded white PC tower so I presume they had no clue what it was. That case goes for £100+ new so I was fucking hyped, now on the pictures I'd seen a very thick looking cable inside the case and assumed it was a USB3 header. It turns up in this fucking huge box for a printer/copier machine, I rip it open and voila. Something's clanging around inside the case so I open the side panel and there's a fucking Corsair H110i AIO cooler inside the fucking thing, that shit would be £100 new.
The AIO was fairly clogged with dust but a quick clean fixed that, I'm presuming the place I got it from was a tech refurb place where someone had got rid of a broken PC (I think this because there was some definite soda marks on the motherboard tray of the case), they gutted it and sold what was usable.

I got a copy of Magic Sticky Hand for 2 quid on Ebay today and then a copy of Magic Sticky Hand 2 for about 12 quid just after.

Bought a house. Offered $275k, which was $65k under asking and was accepted. I then found out someone I know was writing up an offer for just $15k under ask. Since our offer was accepted theirs didn't get presented. House was worth the $325k the other people were willing to offer - we just didn't have it.
Since then (2011) house has more than doubled in value.

I bought 2 15 kicker comp c's, custom box and amp for $100. I used them almost daily for a year or two before trading them in on a sundown. They gave me $200 for it so I felt pretty good about it.

I always carry at least $80 in cash when I’m getting drunk wandering the TL because someone is always selling something good. I’ve got numerous iPods for $20, a couple of iPads for $60, a Mission Workshop backpack for $20 that was worth $400. My favorite so far has been this dude selling half gallons of Jack Daniels with the little theft tops attached for $10 a bottle, I bought 6. Always some good shit.

Damn good deal, son.
But yeah, Sundown all day baby. Thought about tryin to run a U18, but decided I didn't want to forfeit my back seats AND my entire trunk with a box big enough for it ( since it's already stuffed to the gills, between the SA-12's in ported Q Bomb,(the BIG one, tuned to about 35hz, I actually had to face the subs into the cab, cause firing back into the trunk, though it hit harder, was too much, between the bass, rattles, and panel flex, was drowning out my highs a little too much for my SQ tastes these days) and the amp rack running the Kicker 1800 (subs) and separate amps on the Crescendo Mezzo components in front and midbass in the rear doors. Kinda glad I went with the SA's now. To be a lower end Sundown sub, they shit all over my old JL W3's (and the W6's I had awhile back) and actually cost less. The U18 would have been miserable, haha.

at slam city jam i was purchasing a board from a stand and it was busy, shit going on all around. after a minute of talking the worker asked if i'd paid for the board yet. i said yes but actually hadn't.
ordered a hella reduced kitchenaid mixer for my wife for xmas from sears near the end of november. didn't show up in time for xmas. so cancelled it and got another retailer to price match.
sears later sent me a $100 gift card to apologize for letting a customer down before xmas.
my wife says we got a brand new 600 pc classic lego set for $8 from a thrift store.

I got my MacBook Pro for free. Cost $2500 at the time.
At a previous job of mine, we would receive points if we did a good job. We could then exchange those points for gifts.
My job had recently introduced an upselling responsibility for my department. I was doing well in it, and made the company thousands of dollars.
One day I got awarded about 24000 points. I didn't stop to think that it could be a mistake due to the high number - I was killing it by selling extra products. All the points I had accrued, plus the 24k, all added up to equal the cost of a brand-new MacBook Pro.
My Dell Inspiron was old and dying, so of course I exchanged the points. I was hyped because I rarely buy any brand-new electronics since they're expensive.
A few months went by - not days or weeks, months - and I was getting ready to leave my position. I had already given my notice a month earlier so they'd be prepared to hire someone new. A couple of weeks before quitting time, I got a call at home from my former manager who asked me if I'd recently received 24000 points. Turned out there was a glitch in the system and they'd awarded me the points by accident.
My manager was upset - with me - asking me how I couldn't have noticed that it was such a high number. I told her that I'd been upselling well and thought that was the reason.
She wanted me to return the MacBook. I told her that I'd gotten rid of my old laptop and I only had the MacBook. Eventually, after conferring with the higher-ups, she called back and told me that I'd be able to keep the MacBook, but would need to give the company the rest of my points (I only had a few). I said that's fine. I'm still using the same MacBook to type right now. I love this thing.

Forgot to write this... AAA auto club. That shit is one of the best deals you can get (as a driver), hands down.
Also just got my dividenD from REI today, so I'll add shopping there as a good deal.

Usually it’s to do with vinyl. Finding a stack of rare records for 2 bucks each at a thrift store, or buying a 45 for 99 cents at a record store that’s worth $50, if they didn’t know what it was. Doesn’t happen often and nothing that made me a rich man. And I’m not flipper scum, I actually keep what I find

How many of the SA's do you have? Do they hit pretty hard? I recently bought a 93 300zx and was thinking of putting one in it. I was only going to go with one 12 because I really don't want to lose all of what little trunk space I have. I have a zv5 15 in my other car but really don't feel like dropping that much on a sub again haha.

All my friends were getting kicked out of school and having to move home because of coronavirus. They gave me all of their weed cause they couldn't take it home. Funny thing is I don't even smoke that much. I have a shitton of premium bud sitting in a bag in my room and now i want to sell it to the highschoolers down the street lol

Yeah Son, the SA's hit hard as fuck. Like I said, with the JL's I had to face them into the trunk, to get enough bass out of em. The SA's I had to face into the cab, because they were hitting TOO hard and drowning out my high's and mids. I go for SQ more than SPL these days. What impresses me most is how LOW they drop. At 30hz, my 12w3's would bottom out (where you could feel a rumble, but not really hear the note clearly) With the SA's you can feel and hear the notes super crispy.
Obviously the size of the enclosure ( bigger box = more air space = lower tune) comes into play, but the SA's play very nicely down to 30hz) My box is tuned around 35hz-45hz, so tend to hit hardest around that range) and will crank out solid bass from (30 hz -80hz). I have the LPF set at 80hz and then the HPF set at 80hz for the midbass amp to go up from there, it's LPF set in sync with the HPF on the amp for the Components and so on.
Running 2 of these on a Kicker CX1200 now, gain set slighly above 1/4 turn, (cx1800 was still too much), wired parallel for 1ohm final at the amp, so each is getting about 600 watts rms, and yeah, the slam, get low as fuck, but balance very nicely with the mids and highs. Crossed over as noted above and can hear everything crisp and clear at all volume level. SQ, baby. These are the ones I have. Got em here

hell ya, I've got a shop that does 3 for a buck and pulled some great Jazz fusion right before Corona came to town along with a couple worth $40. Got a Dinosaur Jr. SST first press of Bug for $2, mint. But perhaps the coolest, is a first press GnR Appetite for destruction, with the original cover (look it up), that was scored on a Saturday morning when I walked into the shittiest 2nd hand store in town. It was sitting on top of a stack. The old dude volunteering at the counter charged me 10 cents. Condition=VG. Or, when I was 13 and had to go to day camp, I was wearing a Dead Kennedy's shirt and the bus driver brought me her son's copy of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, first press cherry red records Orange cover, swing band on back. Still in shrink with poster intact. Still got that one 22 years later...
But best deal, shit, when I first met my partner I was in the midst of raging alcoholic year. Totally browned out on our first date and thought she was someone else. We've been together almost 6 years now. Been sober from booze almost 5. She's encouraged me to do the best i've ever done. That's a fuckin deal.

Two come to mind.
Last year I was looking at a coin collecting stall at a market. In a box of old world banknotes for $1 each I found €45 worth of notes which I bought for a total of $4 AUD. I took them to the currency exchange and swapped them for the then exchange rate of $70AUD (about $50US).
Another time I found what I guess was someones record collection at a junk shop for $5 each. Bought about 20 or so records. All original Smiths, Cure, Joy Division, Coctau Twins, My Bloody Valentine etc must of got about $500 worth of records for $100

My mom got me an xbox360 back in the day and I bought a broken one off this dude for like $15 or so and I took the bar code stickers off the one my mom got me and slapped them on the broken one and returned it to Wal-Mart and made off with a new 360 and ironically enough $360 exact.
Another time this heroin junkie sold me a brand new DGK complete for $10 that had bones swiss and venture trucks I think. I kept the bones swiss and traded the rest of the complete for a quarter of weed to my friend and then sold the weed and bought heroin thatwas on sale because it was the dealers birthday and got trashed. Sadly though my friend passed away and that dealer is now serving like 32 years in prison cause he got snitched out by my adopted brothers dad

This was about a year ago. I had been craving lobster for a while. Was planning to have a few friends over so decided to pick up some lobster to grill. Went to the local Vons. Was talking to the deli guy, told him about my plans, asked on tips on grilling (first time with Lobster), chatted for a bit, turns out he's from the same rough neighborhood I grew up in. He helped me pick some lobster tails, weighted, bagged, tagged, went our separate ways. I grabbed a few others things, veggies, drinks, etc. I was incredibly surprised that everything added up to about $20. Thought something was on sale. When I got home, I looked at the receipt, homeboy hooked it up with the lobster. Six lobster tails, $2! I guess he used a code for ham. What a champ.

I grabbed a few others things, veggies, drinks, etc. I was incredibly surprised that everything added up to about $20. Thought something was on sale. When I got home, I looked at the receipt, homeboy hooked it up with the lobster. Six lobster tails, $2! I guess he used a code for ham. What a champ.
That's fucking dope. Wish people felt more confident dishing out these kind of hook ups

15 bucks for some travis Scott dunks. I paid a homeless dude 15 bucks to break into my local skate shop and steal a pair of the travis Scott dunks they were gonna raffle off. sadly he got the wrong size but I was able to resell them and made 1k.

Apple accidentally sent two iPads.
Still the best deal. This was this passed Christmas. We got my mom one. It got delivered to the wrong house. Apple sent a replacement and the people that the first package brought it over and let us know a package was sent to the wrong house.
Thank you nice people and suck my dick Apple. I kind of forgot about it for a bit because of a move and I have a really nice new PC build, but I think the cheapest iPads are still pretty useful.

This was about a year ago. I had been craving lobster for a while. Was planning to have a few friends over so decided to pick up some lobster to grill. Went to the local Vons.

I'd give him a discount, no doubt.

Me too! I worked at a supermarket in my adolescence and would always get my house mates to come through on my shift. Discounted meat for all!

Two memorable one for sure; My room mate from ten years back or so, his girl friend (now wife) worked at whole foods. She would let us fill up crazy amounts of food from the food court/salad bar area and ring us up for like one hard boiled egg. It was the shit. probably ate thousands of dollars of food in the three years she worked there and never got busted.
The other time was flying from Seattle to Schiphol on my way to the Netherlands. The flight was overbooked and they got everyone on the plane but one person. Me. Just as they were closing the gate and getting me on the phone with the airline the sweetest person i've met that works for an airline is in front of me at the gate desk and says "we have one more seat. You need to hurry." We run our asses down onto the plane they close the door right behind us, through me in a seat and were off. Last seat on the plane was a business class section that was a no show. It kicked so much ass.

My wife is a flight attendant. First/Business class trips all day. Last year one of my best friend's weddings was in Cairo. First Class to Frankfurt, then Business to Cairo all free. I also have an FAA Id for work, so employee security. No taking off your belt or shoes, no 3oz liquid BS.

My company that I used to work for gave us an option to buy out the lease on our company vehicles....it was a three year old Malibu which was a shit car but the buy out was like $800 CAD....I guess they had them on an accelerated payment plan.
