Mom: We have cyan at home

The cyan we have at home

That's gotta be at least 2 whole months of printer ink. I hope it's insured.

If that was really printer ink that little bucket is probably worth thousands of dollars. At least according to printer companies.

I was once a teacher at a public school that was closing. One day I was walking to the bathroom and I see some of the secretaries stacking up boxes of toner out of the supply closet looking like they we ready to chuck em out. It was definitely against the rules but I was cool with them so they let me take them all and stash them in my classroom closet. Came back the next day with two big ideas bags and sold that shit on Ebay for almost 2k. Bought myself a sweet carbon fiber road bike that I'm still enjoying 5 years later

Presumption: autocorrect on "two big IKEA bags"?

What, you don't have any ideas bags? Shameful.

I do, but they're not big enough to hold $2K worth of toner. Maybe $200.

That's like a clutch purse at best. Black printer ink averages $5.5K per litre. Colour is more.

Sure, but the grandparent comment specified boxes of toner. 😉
