    I will accept pennies ... taken to a bank and converted to cashier's check.

    Yup but you got to handle all the pennies -that's why I am offering double.

    Are they pre-1982?
    If I had that many pennies ... I'd be strongly tempted to melt them down into bars, and sell those bars.

    lol

    Only about 25% might be pre 1982. Be quite a job sorting them out This post was edited by Kittigate at February 18, 2019 1:24 PM MST

    You could buy a house here for almost any cash offer. Notice no buildings along the right side of the highway - they burned down. They were abandoned anyway, so the owner just leveled the property. "896" was the population when the town was still alive. The latest census found 369. Some of those are welfare recipients who need an address in California to get welfare money, some bought a house because their RV was too old to get into the parks and it was cheaper to buy a house than a new RV. Some live here because they own a farm and they don't want to live on the farm. There is just one property listed with real estate agents. It was on the market for five months at $74,900 but now has been reduced to $64,900. It's this one:
     

    Businesses in town are:
    1 grocery store (where farm laborers buy lunch)
    1 liquor store
    2 payday loans
    sheriff's office and courthouse
    1 girlie joint (I have no idea were they get the girlies.)
    6! COUNT 'EM! 6! CHURCHES! And they appear to be prospering!

    The difference between Arizona time and California time used to provide a vigorous climate for bars (two). The deputies got bored so they started camping outside the bars and nailing people as they left. The bars promptly folded. There were two liquor stores for a long time, but RV drivers don't drink enough to support two, so one closed last year. It is down to where people are talking about giving the town back to the Indians. The town is surrounded by a reservation.

    I wouldn't mind having an acreage so I can keep a few animals. That looks like a reasonably decent house.

    What state is that located in?

    I am in the heartland. Cold winters and hot summers.

    That is the kind of climate we have where I live now. Ahh -no thanks. I'd like a warm climate year 'round in my old age. No more snow.

    The brownstone in which I grew up could fetch $7.5 million or more, and the one in which I live approximately half that much, and my family isn't selling either one.

    Too bad you didn't hold onto it. Ours are in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. My parents paid $56k for the first one in 1963.

    That's NY. That same brownstone would go for about $150K here in Toledo. And it would be in da hood.
