Welcome to Cash Converturs!

A GREAT way to sell your junk! Bring your old expensive stuff to us, we'll give you peanuts for it and sell it for a bomb! Thats the Cash Converturs way. Here are 4 simple steps for you to help us earn more monies.

Clean your trash before bringing it to us, because after we rip them off from you, we wont bother cleaning them before selling it to the next sucker. Everybody(who's a dumbass) knows, the condition of the product largely depends on its exterior condition. So the cleaner it looks, the higher we can jack up the price.

Test your shit first, cos we wont bother testing it much when you give it to us. But don't worry, if the products turn out to be faulty, we won't lose much, cos we won't pay you much anyway. Thats the Cash Converturs way!

Here's a secret. If you bring your accessories to us separately, we will pay you a dollar or 2 for each piece, cos we buy just about anything. But then, if you bring your accessories TOGETHER with the product which it came with, we will claim that the accessories HAVE to go with the main product as a package. We will then pay you for the main product only, while keeping all the accessories(suckas). So.....(trying hard not to laugh my balls off)... Bring all your accessories... *snicker snicker* along... We want your monies...

Basically, most of our customer base consists of really dumb people, the technologically impaired and people trying to get rid of stolen stuff. To avoid having our products combust prematurely in our "customer's" faces, we need to give them manuals to explain why watering their television set doesn't help it run cooler. We cant have all the dumb people dying on us, now can we? Who would buy our trash then?

dafansu.blogspot.com goes to Cash Converturs to sell some stuff, cos we recently for fired from our day job and thus need monies to watch movies at Empress(they raised the prices slightly, times are hard).

Heres what I tried to sell.

(Quoted with prices from last century, to add dramatic effect)
1 Panasonic 3DO Game Console, Price when new - $600+
This used to be the hottest thing in the gaming market(for about 2 months before Sony brought in the Playstation). It was one of the first gaming systems to actually try to incorporate 3-D into games. Although most of the objects in the games were basically just squares with pixels for skin, it still was a giant leap for whiney spoilt brats around the world.

1 Sega Game Gear with TV Tuner, Price when new - $700+
One of the first portable colour gaming systems, it even had a TV tuner attachment to clip on to the device, so you could watch TV on the 9V Power-Guzzling 1.8 Inch Screen. It was so popular last time, that policemen used to carry these around. They had to clip it onto their belts, as they had no space in their shorts pockets.

1 Japanese Thermos Flask, Price when new - $70
Keeps your hot stuff hot, keeps your cold stuff cold. Gives you something more to clean everyday.

1 Steamboat Thingy, Price when new - $30?
Its been used many times over. So it doesn't matter how much they are actually willing to pay for it. Seeing how I treat the Steamboat Pan at Seoul Garden, its a wonder how this one even survived.

2 Random Keyboards, Price when new - Who gives a sh*t?
Ancient dust collectors which I found lying around my house. Various soft drinks have found their way inbetween the keys, but I should think they still work quite well(to a certain extent). I pity the fool who buys this, I pity the fool!

2 "The Incredibles" Skateboards - Found lying around the house
Sum Dum Kid is gonna use this and hurt himself very badly. I don't trust free skateboards with cartoon characters on them, unless its Spongebob Squarepants.

Some Random CDs I could find lying around the house

After waiting 1 and a Half hours in line(There were less then 10 people ahead of me, but they all brought trolleys of trash they found on the floor along the way to Cash Converturs), it was finally my turn. After the Beng at the counter ruffled through my stuff, he typed some stuff into the computer(probably chatting with his Girlfriend, telling her how he's cheating so many people out of their stuff and he needs to repent tonight by having sex with her, Beng Style - Playing Bad Techno while doing it).

Then, for all my prized possessions and hard work, I got this...

20 LOUSY monies for all my stuff and 3 hours of my time(including finding, cleaning and transporting the shit there). I earned more monies in my previous job(pauses for a while, as still emotionally unstable due to loss of job) than here selling my stuff.

Here's a closer look at my "You've Been Had" form.

Omigod!!! I cant wait to get back to singapore... can i cash convert my Warrane college polo? They wont know the true value and I can tell them I bought it at an australian gold mine where a horde of Melbourne Uni lawyers sewed it with their left hands to provide the quality (or lack of quality) that is the Warrane college polo!!!

Sadly, Cash Converturs don't buy anything useful, that includes clothes. You could cut the polo up(Mr Man would just die) into little patches and sell it to them as part of a sewing mending kit for half a money.

And no I did not take any cyalume sticks of any kind. The storeman used most of them up during his PS2 rituals every night by himself. He lights up the room with an eerie yellow glow everytime he plays Resident Evil.
