I love reading stories like this, because it makes my little mistakes throughout life, not look so bad .

Thats great, I'm glad the guy who bought it used his quote right back on him..

[this_is_nascar 162]

I guess the seller figured that in order to get into it, he'd have to break it, thus not being able to sell it. I'm sorry, if I ever acquire a locked safe, that sucker is carefully being busted into for me to see what's in there.

I'd keep the money too......

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Whose money was it to begin with? Someone ain't gonna be too happy!

[this_is_nascar 162]

Damn straight.

The only problem would be It would take me a while to spend it with this OGAM crap..

[Babyface Finster 45]

The seller probably made his markup on the safe. He didn't know the money was in there, that's life.

 

The seller sounds like the idiot to me. Why would he tell the seller that he found the money? (or anyone for that matter). Several ways this can go wrong for the buyer from here on out.

That's what exemptions are for.

I spend money fast enough I don't need exemptions.. Actually I forgot about that, now to find a safe with 26K in it for sale for $122.93..

Ha... i feel better now.

[Texas Shooter 35]

The problem isn't in telling the seller that you found $26K inside. The problem is in buying the toys before your wife finds out.

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

Hmmm... I've been thinking about getting a safe. Maybe I should buy one from that guy.

Great point. Why open your mouth at all and say anything?

[Secret Squirrel 3]

That is awesome for the buyer

[DTtuner 21]

Many layers of stupidity here.

 

1st - the seller... obviously. Odd that he wouldn't even open the safe to check the contents.

Stupid

 

2nd - The buyer, for letting it be known that they found $26,000 for free.

Stupid

 

3rd - Even if the Seller was the one who realized the money was in there after the fact, and contacted the buyer... The buyer should have denied everything.

Stupid

Fixed for you.

[M4BGRINGO 139]

So, what if that money the buyer got in the safe really wasn't in that safe, but came from somewhere else...................................

[Babyface Finster 45]

 

 

Fixed for you.

 

Did I really type seller there? Add one idiot to the list.

Ah, instant money laundering. Does he have to pay taxes on that?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Who launders 26K?? Thats pocket change in the big scheme of things, now if that was once a week, different story, but a 1 time thing. not happening.

[Soju 153]

Apparently it wasn't $26k, but only $6k. Still a pretty big chunk of change.
