I've been in a couple of the store fronts recently and it's like going to a really lame garage sale. --- End quote --- mine looks like a TJ Maxx now. It used to look like a garage sale. |

My best Goodwill find was a Jack George laptop bag for $15 that looked perfect. The cost for that bag new is $499. I could've flipped it easily enough. It would've went for $300 on ebay, but I couldn't do it. I went into Goodwill on my way to Office Depot (next door) because I wanted a higher end laptop bag\briefcase for my new job. I thought I would pop in just to see if they had a decent laptop bags. I found this bag and it felt like destiny. https://www.jackgeorges.com/products/elements-executive-leather-briefcase-4403 It's way more than I would have spent on myself. I thought for 5 seconds how I could flip it and buy another but I decided to keep it for myself. |

If it was at the Goodwill at Olive and 141, I believe you. |

The game isn't very fun and we got where we could basically do the same pattern to kill 3 saucers every screen so it was very monotonous to play. I wanna say it was between 12 to 18 hours of us taking turns to hit a million. We get there and basically the screen just fills up with exclamation points. We were so tired we just gave an unenthusiastic "wow" and went to bed...lol. --- End quote --- Hah. That's orders of magnitude worse than sitting up late at night to see no naked ladies on Benny Hill, or only soft porn on Cinemax. I couldn't sit in front of a game for more than an hour. TV I could stretch into three or four hours. Outside called me. |

I've found a few good deals a few yrs ago. Brand new Polo ducks? 5$I don't know they were low boys, waterproof and had great tread. a brand new Samsonite overnight bag 7$. brand new clothes steamer $7. a fricken old ass motorized shoe shine machine with a red and black buffer beat to hell....5$ still use it. misc. expensive shoes with the hard soles barely scuffed. I admit, I did start grabbing $100 shoes for $7 that didn't fit me for friends and family. I did pick up some vintage Weyenberg barely worn and some really funky golf shoes that were never worn also and look older than any shoe I own. rich people donate all kinds of good stuff for the tax break. |
