What can I do with 12.000 mousepads?
 

Hey,

Just got 12.000 mousepads for free from one of my friends warehouse the guy donated me all that mousepads. The mousepads are not that good but I couldn't resist let them go so took all of em and decided to sell on ebay but it seems it is impossible since even shipping costs $4 something for each mousepad. And I don't think someone would give that much for a stupid mousepad. There is a company;s tel number, url, etc. on each mousepad. And now I am thinking what to do with these shit. Plz give me an idea thanks a lot guys.

make a nice smelly fire?

12,000 !!! Damn :1orglaugh

can you post a pic of one of them

heh. 12,000 of them fuckers with someones business info on them? I would try selling them very very cheap on ebay.

Give them to boyscouts and then they can sell them on the next sale

burn them on a cold night?

Bulk sales on ebay. Don't sell individuals but in batches of 100 or more. You really would have to discount them to sell though.

Have you considered wallpapering a few rooms?

Ok donate them to the Salvation army and declare a value of 4.99 each and get your reciept.

Buy 12,000 mouses?

Yeah post a pic of the design, maybe someone will take them off your hands.

ya turn it into a tax writeoff

donate and sleep better at night :)

I want a picture of this.

sew a bunch of them together and sell them as helmets to the bloated egos around here so they don't break their gigantic heads open when walking through doorways and such.

flea market

sell on ebay for a buck who knows what could happen

give them away

dude, if you were a REAL gangster you'd be out hustling those pads on the corner, get your money YO!

make a mousepad house and end up in wired magazine, then give tours of the house and make money from it

Try to sell them to several dollar stores for maybe $ 0.25 each

i'd build some sort of mousepad fort first of all...

throw em away ya packrat!

keep 'em for reserve

Hope he buys cordless then :helpme

I think the fort idea is #1. Or at least do some sort of weird art deal with them. Then donate them and use them as a tax write off. That's a pretty penny saved in taxes right there.

exactly what I was thinking when I opened this thread :thumbsup

donate them to the poor.
or give them away to the homeless.. i guess their rats would find these as king size matresses....

go wild... maybe you can even make a rat, mouse porn movies...every time they'll do a facial and the "matress" will get dirty you could pull out a new one!

you can also write a book about it.. "my 12,000 miracles"

Sadly, your friend gave them to you because it'd cost him more to dispose of them than to give them away.. in time and other resources..

I think Charles/WiredGuy has the right idea in that you can / should sell them in 100, 500, even 1000 bulk orders; even for like $100-$200 per 1000.. That's over $1000 in your pocket then if you can sell them all....

You could always use them to decorate your house, or use them for padding on the floor..

A lot of people have eBay dreams. Mostly people with no idea of how to sell on eBay. They will buy "wholesale" lots of anything.

Give a marketable value of $4 each and sell them at $2 each to these eBay noobs.

use them as a mattress pad on your bed or make a mousepad floored room for parties

sell them to the terrorists

Start spilling your coffee more often, lord knows that is how I go through them.

Good idea. That's the first thing I thought of when I seen this thread..

yeah sell them in bulk..
are they plain color?

Carpet the garage with them.

Put up a garage sale outside your house.

donate them to a local organization like goodwill, or salvation army.
Even if they sell them at 50 cents each that will be $6,000 towards a good cause.

i say go with the padded room/fort idea. can do lots of dumb shit in a padded room.

and a fort... cmon. its a fort for christsakes.

make a bargain sale of mouse pads and donate to the charity foundation.

yep i was thinking sound proof room
