If you’re selling estate items or helping a relative or friend downsize, be sure to check hidden spots for money. People find the craziest spots to hide their cash, as we’ve recently experienced when sorting through items of two consignors’ estates. This past spring, we found and returned more than $6,500 to the two consignors, and our employees also found a vintage Lumiere camera hidden away in one of the homes that ended up selling for $5,000. In our case, we found the cash hidden in furniture, a purse, and a small belt buckle gun holster. People have different reasons for hiding cash and other treasures. Sometimes they hide valuables in case their homes are broken into, and other times they might be hiding them from their spouse or children. Either way, it’s important to take the time to carefully check furniture, closets, garage shelves and other areas to make sure you’re not leaving anything behind. There’s no doubt that clearing out a loved one’s home can be very emotional, and often times people don’t know that the cash or valuables are hidden. We recognize how emotional the process can be for the family, and our staff is trained to look through all of the nooks and crannies to make sure we don’t auction an item off with a secret kitty attached. Based on our experience, here’s a list of the most common places people hide their money and other valuables: Furniture, including mattresses and hidden nooks. Envelopes, both in desk drawers and stuffed under couch cushions. Purses and their contents, such as wallets, lipstick holders, and compact mirrors. Inside cookie jars. Cans, including food cans and other cans packed away in the garage or attic. Behind art – Often, people will tape cash to the back of paintings. Inside freezers. Again, people are very clever about where they hide their valuables. If you can, have that conversation now with your loved ones so you are not in the dark when it comes time to clean out, sell or donate their valuables. As I’m writing this, one of my managers says he has hidden money behind fake electrical outlets, and he reminded me that there are fake soda bottles that look like they have liquid in them, fake batteries and more.

What’s the craziest place you’ve ever found hidden cash or valuables?

What is the rule of 63?

What does Rule 63 mean? Rule 63, one of the self-styled rules of internet, declares: For every fictional character, there exists a gender-swapped counterpart of that character.

One of the most common places where Rule 63 occurs is at comic book conventions, where cosplayers do not let their own gender identity or presentation stop them from dressing up as their favorite characters. For example, men frequently dress up as Wonder Woman or women as the Joker. The motivations for creating a gender-swapped counterpart vary. Sometimes Rule 63 is invoked humorously or playfully. Other times, it is done to make a social or political point, casting women as traditionally male characters to call out heavily male-dominated nature of many popular franchises. By recreating a male character as a woman, the creators may want to prove that female characters are just as viable as male ones. Rule 63 can also be evoked more generally as a statement about the fluidity of gender identity. Alternatively, when creators are remaking a familiar character from the ground up, gender-swapping a lead character can produce new storyline possibilities not possible with the original gender. For example, when Battlestar Galactica rebooted in 2004, the character of Starbuck went from a tough, cocky, cigar-smoking alpha male to being a tough, cocky, cigar-smoking alpha female played by Katee Sackhoff. This version of Starbuck would go on to become one of the show’s most popular characters. Rule 63 is often used as a shorthand to refer to gender-swapped characters. For instance, a Rule 63 Green Lantern or Rule 63 Batman render the originally male characters as women.
