Ever wonder what happens to all that stuff confiscated at the airports?
Well the State of PA auctions it off on Ebay.
You just might get the chance to buy back that Swiss Army Knife they took off you at the check point, or maybe that machete or Rambo knife, or perhaps a lot of other items. Keep checking as it is always updating, and keep bring stuff to be confiscated, so they can sell more stuff and fatten the states wallet. The money raised goes to suppot the state budget. (Maybe NJ should start doing this!)

If I'd been quicker posting this, you could have bought some space to show your purchase off

Man - if you're lucky you could rebuy the item you left behind (and get a better deal on it this time).

I saw this on CNN today. Its amazing how much stuff they have. I thought it was quite funny how much S&M gear they have confiscated. :-)

I think they even showed a chainsaw too. :-)

Didn't see it on CNN, but on the local NJ news channel. I agree the stuff was amazing. Who in their right mind would think they could carry on a Rambo knife or machete? :-) :-)

Back in the days I used to carry small tool and a Leatherman multi-tool in my laptop bag because you never seem to have tools at the office. I forgot to empty my bag of these tools once and had to give them all up.

Did you all hear about the lady trying to get rid of her baby on the net? The local radio station announced that story had come across the wires where a lady was trying to give up her baby or sell it on ebay!?! I can't seem to remember all the details because of hearing it so fast like they do but if anyone knows what the deal is let me know! What is the world coming to????
