I'll send the first one to post the correct answer a Crappie keychain!

**********************************************************

A man walks into a hardware store, points at an item & asks the clerk "How much are these?"

The clerk says "I can sell you one for $2.50, ten for $5.00, or one thousand for $10.00."

The man replies "Let me have 47."

The clerk says "That will be $5.00, please."

What did he buy?

Hint: you will find them at most hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.

Have fun! emoEvil

he bought numbers, like address numbers for your house or mailbox for 2.50 each number
1 = $2.50
10 or 47 = $5.00
1000 = $10.00
