Had a couple kind of mildly neat finds at a 5 Below (store that sells most things for less than $5).
Item 1: Egyptian Book of the Dead (handbook sized)
This is basically, literally, a translated text of one version of Spells for Coming Forth by Day, with an introduction.
But someone decided to add a gilded/embossed biomechanical Anubis head on the cover, à la the Gods of Egypt movie or Stargate SG1.

🧬🔍 Apparently, 23andMe's business model of convincing people to pay for their own DNA results wasn't exactly the golden ticket to eternal riches. So now they're off to the bargain bin. 💸 Maybe next time, try selling something people actually want? 🤔

An #Ontario #Teacher found #WorksOfArt in the #BargainBin. She set out to find the creator.
The #Sculptures were lost in the mail somewhere between #NovaScotia and #Montreal.About 300 hours into creating the sculptures worth thousands of dollars before carefully wrapping, labelling and shipping them off. They were scanned in Montreal before disappearing.

Today's #bargainbin acquisitions: Tomita's Greatest Hits I've got on CD but saw the #vinyl in the $5 bin so couldn't resist. We'll see how it spins later...
#PublicServiceBroadcasting #RaceForSpace on CD (Promo) was #musicmail and came cross country -- also in the $5 range.
I wonder how they do that audio watermarking... might have to investigate!

Today, I'm sharing another #retro #analog #music #cassette #tape from my #collection 🎶 I bought this at age 12, with my newspaper delivery money. Found it in a #BargainBin at now defunct #Kmart store. I still sing along to lead track - #MetalHealth 🤘🎸

So, yesterday I picked up an #xbox360 and #PS3 dirt cheap.
Any game recommendations I should look for in the #bargainbin and at the #secondhand / #buyUsed sections?
Over-hyped game titles I should avoid, are welcome as well.
