Okay, this story is officially bullshit. That ‘rifle’ did NOT come out of that box. And what’s with the pistol ammo and pistol magazine on the table? Were they in the box, too?

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the country someone is opening up a Mossberg box. “Hey, what’s this baby bouncer doing in the box!?”

Oh look, some used crap from Goodwill that no one knows where it's been, for my precious newborn baby. Gosh you're such a special friend.

Oh, come on, I bet they were planning to hose it off at the quarter car wash, on the way to the baby shower. Presto! Good as new!

Unless it was used in a driveby or other criminal activity...

I’d not want it fingering me to something I didn’t do.

Lol. Many years ago I was working on photographic light tables. We would rob parts off of broken ones to fix up useable ones. Many of these tables had been in storage since the Vietnam war. In a big drawer in one of them we found an M60 machine gun. I guess someone put it there figuring that he could get it later. Lol.

In another instance a friend bought some unlabelled crates from salvage at Hill AFB. You used to buy stuff cheap not knowing what it was. When he opened the crates amongst other stuff was 2 Browning M2s. Lolol. He turned them back in but kept the photographic evidence. They stopped selling stuff like that soon after.

Yep. I’ve a mid-60’s Sears Christmas Wishbook. Has real guns, very realistic toy guns, chemistry sets with fun chemicals, even snowmobiles.

It is obviously a toy replica.

Media spreading lies again.

You bounce down, it fires a shot and ...right back up again. Really, what are the chances of a ricochet going straight up.

We’ve shopped at Goodwill. For ourselves and others. You got a problem with that?

Actually Target donates a lot of unused stuff to local Goodwills. Everyone in town used to go to the Goodwill on Tuesday (delivery day)to check it out. The items were usually clearance that had not sold or older stock. They were all in original boxes and many still had the shrinkwrap intact. I have seen entire pots and pans sets for $25.00, ones that retailed for $200 or more.

CALL the Goodwill Store on RESEARCH BLVD in Austin, TX & ask the manager what they have each Friday PM for the SAT auction.

That store gets LOTS of NICE vintage amps for some reason or other. - Those generally sell in the Saturday PM auction for 40 bucks or less..

Fwiw, about 2 years ago I got a 10HP, 1966, EVINRUDE OB motor, in GREAT SHAPE, out of the auction for 101.oo. = It LOOKS/RUNS fine as power for my 14’ aluminum semi-VEE LONE STAR “tin” boat.

Yours, TMN78247

Not at all. But if you brought my newborn baby a used toy from Goodwill that some un-vaccinated kid with leprosy from El Savador had puked all over, yeah, I'd have a problem with that.

How many other name-brand consumer products can you buy right now that got their start near the end of the 19th century?

Quite a few actually.

Heinz Ketchup, Hershey Chocolate and Coca-Cola to name three.

But I am just annoyed that I never find good stuff like this at the used stores.

However I did find a intact Monopoly set from 1946.

It’s a .22. But ‘semi-automatic rifle’ soumds so much scarier!

My first thought, after suspecting they found an AK-47.
