New York City is worth over $40 billion. All you need now is a percentage figure, a way to pull New York City dust molecules out of the air and from underneath park benches, and a f***load of delivery trucks that can keep that dust attached to the outside of them for when the insides are full. 😀
Got a tip for us?

From the auction:
"This is perhaps the most famous Mountain Dew bottle in America."
Yep. Meaning that about 5 people care of it and maybe a few dozen have heard of it, as opposed to the zero and 1 figures for the average Mountain Dew bottle.
Assuiming it's even real, to want to pay $12 for that bottle, you'd have to either be stuipd enough to believe that it'll be worth something in a few years (when nobody will care, or even remember this promotion), or that they really, really want that Mountain Dew error because it means something to them personally.
If they're in the former category, they're idiots. If the latter... uh... glad they're not me, anyway.
Hey, I once found a box of mint chocolate chip ice cream with one giant chocolate chip in the middle (chip machine must've jammed), and a can of pork and beans with screws in it... should've eBayed them! I could've made millions!

Yeah, a bottle is not like a coin, which is know to be worth as much as twenty-five cents, depending on model. And stamps, hey, they've been known to be worth as much as thirty-seven cents! 😛
Just is proof positive again that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Or more like what 5 million men would consider as trash is 5 men's treasure I guess in this case. 🙂

This is very easy. Get an apartment and open the window. Within ten minutes your whole place will be covered in 10" of crap. Now if I could only muscle in on a trucking business, I would be about a week away from millions...
Yes it is. In addition, upon taking some advice from some people here, I set out to find a still-sealed bottle. Went back to the same store, asked clerk to let me look in the back, found two more iTunes-eligible bottles. This time I was smart enough not to uncap them. I'm keeping one, selling the other:

Think this one's worthless, too?
problem: if you can go to the store and find several of them without a problem, chances are they're not so rare.
If you think they're so commonplace, go ahead and scan the web and see if you can find reports of any others. 😛
