Buffalo Weapons Buy back
Unfortunately the prices are ridiculous:
An Uzi, AK-47 or other assault weapon can be traded in for a $100 cash card. Handguns will command $75, while rifles and shotguns have a $50 trade-in value. The Police Department will give $10 cash cards for nonworking or antique guns, including pellet guns and BB guns.
I mean I think the street value and even the scrap metal value of these guns is way higher. I love how antqiue guns will get only $10 when some of them could be worth like $10,000. Same with $100 for an uzi. What do you think the street value of an uzi is? I wonder what really happens to all the guns.
In case you are interested, here is where the weapons are being bought back at.
The same seven drop-off sites that were used in last year's buyback will be accepting weapons:
> Episcopal Church of the Good Shepard, 96 Jewett Parkway.
> Prince of Peace Christian Church, 190 Albany St.
> Primera United Methodist Church, 62 Virginia St.
> St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 450 Abbott Road.
> True Bethel Baptist Church, 907 E. Ferry St.
> St. John Baptist Church, 184 Goodell St.
> St. Mark's Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 256 Riverside Ave.

Book reviewer needed?
Dear Paul,
How does a girl from a working class family in Buffalo, NY --- a city where winters last for six months or longer and residents drape their windows in plastic to keep out the wind and the snow --- end up becoming the youngest person with a seat on the American Stock Exchange and a millionaire by the age of twenty-one? Laura Pedersen tells the story in her hilarious new memoir BUFFALO GAL (Fulcrum; October 31st; trade paperback).
The Pedersens, like many families surviving in the frigid North during the seventies, feared rising prices at the gas pump, argued about the thermostat, and fought over the dog to stay warm at night. While her parents were preoccupied with surviving separation and stagflation, Laura became the neighborhood wild child, skipping school to play poker, bet horses and trade stocks. Set during a defining era of race riots, antiwar protests and abortion rallies, BUFFALO GAL combines laugh-out-loud humor with a genuine slice of social history.
Laura Pedersen writes for The New York Times and is the author of eight books, including BEGINNER'S LUCK, which was chosen as a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Honored as one of Ten Outstanding Young Americans by President Clinton, Pedersen currently lives in New York City.
I am writing to see if you would like to receive a copy of BUFFALO GAL to review or discuss on your website.

Lazy Moros
Who buys this kind of crap. I mean I actually love cream of rice but
I would never pay that price for a plastic bowl of it frozen in a
box. Seriously, you could get a giant box of it for real cheap and
just add your own water. adding the water to the bowl before
microwaving is no less convenient then unboxing and unwrapping.

I know where it all comes from
If I don't take the box home it will all go in the trash (e:paul,45618)
We all had the same issue when we ordered those flat imac keyboard, they weigh nothing and are tiny but came in boxes twice the size of this box with another box inside, stuffed with those styrofoam peanuts.

Of course, if the might-be new president herself believes in gun power and shoots down opposition, this country is going to gun-hell.

Sometimes, people trade in a gun to "trade up" later.
