🧬🔍 Apparently, 23andMe's business model of convincing people to pay for their own DNA results wasn't exactly the golden ticket to eternal riches. So now they're off to the bargain bin. 💸 Maybe next time, try selling something people actually want? 🤔

An #Ontario #Teacher found #WorksOfArt in the #BargainBin. She set out to find the creator.
The #Sculptures were lost in the mail somewhere between #NovaScotia and #Montreal.

About 300 hours into creating the sculptures worth thousands of dollars before carefully wrapping, labelling and shipping them off. They were scanned in Montreal before disappearing.

One of those bargain bin finds you forgot about and then rediscover. 😁🤗

Three CDs on a black table, with a strip of concrete sidewalk visible above. Several color shots of the sextet performing; an expressionistic mishmash of a painting; mysterious green angular shapes like a Mercator projection of mysterious green continents of a white Mercator ocean world. There is a ~lot~ of ocean on top.

Charity shop find of the day: Scott 2, Scott 3 and Scott 4 on cassette tape for £2 each

#CassetteTapes #ScottWalker #BargainBin

Three cassette tape boxes, Scott Walker albums Scott 2, Scott 3 and Scott 4. Each has an old HMV shop price sticker, asking a little over £5. Not pictured is the rear of the boxes, where they're priced at £2 each because they're just in a bargain bin in the corner of this place. Score!

Today's #bargainbin acquisitions: Tomita's Greatest Hits I've got on CD but saw the #vinyl in the $5 bin so couldn't resist. We'll see how it spins later...

#PublicServiceBroadcasting #RaceForSpace on CD (Promo) was #musicmail and came cross country -- also in the $5 range.

I wonder how they do that audio watermarking... might have to investigate!

Today, I'm sharing another #retro #analog #music #cassette #tape from my #collection 🎶 I bought this at age 12, with my newspaper delivery money. Found it in a #BargainBin at now defunct #Kmart store. I still sing along to lead track - #MetalHealth 🤘🎸

Metal Health - #QuietRiot

One of my best #BargainBin finds. Field recordings of thunderstorms and train yards on half speed mastered #Mofi wax. The liner warns the listener that their sound system will be pushed by the recordings - and it lives up to it.

Perfect for a morning read. I've got a big stack of bargain bin ambient on deck.
