I threw away $80

I recently purchased two Sandisk 8GB CF cards so, I can take advantage of Sandisk’s rebate.

Well, in the midst of cleaning, I threw away the boxes.

No boxes, no rebate. Doh!

well, Michael, if it makes you feel an better, I once let a carny separate me from well over $100 at a midway......$5 at a time.....

and I was stone sober.

But anyway, that stinks. I sent in my rebate, but we'll see if they "recieve it"...I've heard they've been failing to fill rebates.

I recently threw away $50 on a wireless card I thought would boost the range my laptop could hit the innerwebs, but alas...it's just an inanimate "thing" stuck to the side. Never trust a "salesman" that works for the company trying to liquidate a store's stock before it closes.

Aahhaa!!! The age old story. Those that have and those that will.

i lost my wallet at FedEx 3 months back with over $500 cash in it (yes i know, bad idea, but it was about to go to the bank). as soon as i realized my wallet was gone (only 5 minutes later) I called the FedEx as I drove back. They found my wallet but the cash was gone. hmmm....

If it makes any of y'all feel better, I just opened the door and threw $100 outside!
