I'm buying as many bulbs as I can. They will be worth millions some
day.


Do you have room? Isn't your investment storage unit filled to the
ceiling with CRT monitors/tvs, phonograph players, betamax vcrs, and
circuit
city divx players?\


All joking aside, I am seriously considering stockpiling at least 100 boxes
of bulbs. Probably get 70 boxes of 60W, 30 boxes of 40W.

That'd give me 400 bulbs, for about a hundred bucks. Should last the rest
of my life.

Would take a bit of space to store them, though. I wonder how they would do
in an attic?

i think they'd do just fine. I'm stacking mine on shelves in the barn.
I figger about 2020, they'll be worth about $5 a piece or more on ebay.
