Got $10? Want a "something"?

Years ago there was an ad running in the back of several magazines. It advertised that for only $1 they would send you a, get this......"A empty 4"x4" cardboard box."

 

It aways made me chuckle to wonder how may people bought an empty box. Years later I found out the person who ran the ad worked for a box company that had accidently made 20,000 boxes that were a bit under spec for a client. He had accquired the entire bunch pretty much for the asking. When asked what it all cost him.....his answer was "postage and envelopes, but I recovered that." He sold them all in less than a year.

Reminds me of an ad I read once.

 

"How would you like to go to your mailbox and find lots of envelopes with money in them every day? I'll tell you how! Send $1.00 and a SASE to..."

 

It cracked me up but I saved the buck instead. :crackup:
