TIL that the California courts have ruled that bees are fish.

As absurd as that sounds, I totally agree with why they did this!

Yesterday I learned that coin proof sets and anything 50 state quarter is completely worthless. Spent hours yesterday breaking plastic cases. Now to the coin counter.

Well, not completely worthless, the state quarters are worth $0.25, which of course isn't the same as when you acquired them.

My "father-in-law" was a complete idiot. He thought you could buy 2 quarters on a post card, or 91 cents in a plastic case for $30 each and some day it would be worth a fortune. I've had these boxes full of the junk in my garage for years. Now I have about $150 or so in change. The 50 state quarter spoons just went in the trash. Too much work to get the quarters off.

Old coins are worth a pile because they are rare. These "collector" sets were (and still are I guess) a massive scam. ONE TIME ONLY LIMITED RUN OF ONLY 15,000!

Had the same thing when my wife was trying to sell all the collector figures and plates my mother in law bought over the last 10 years or so. Wife would look at the certificates and invoices and say "OH this one is worth $450". I would pull it up online and find the same thing on Ebay for $3.

Other items that once were expensive because people collected them but now usually aren't worth shit because nobody really cares anymore or they saturated the market.
Silverware/tea/platters other than for the silver content
HotWheels made after about 1980
Trading cards with a few exceptions
Comic books made after 1985
China dishes
Stamp collections

I experienced a similar thing when lockdown had relaxed.. Popped into London, parked in my usual place.. shopping and back home. Several weeks later a letter from the Mayor of London with a fine for taking my car into a restricted zone.. The twat had only extended the non drive zone to cover weekends!

No idea why.. as it has certainly stopped me going into London!!
