The ultimate deal dude. ...You are a guru of thrift. The ultimate deal dude. And your three R's, both old school and new school beat up all the competition. I've discovered with no sort recycling in Boise I rarely have much trash. Glass remains a problem and I wish I could come up with something creative. How many wine bottle candle holders or glasses can one person possibly need? <br /><br />The irony of Idaho Youth Ranch thrift store in Boise is they get alot of good stuff and sell it on E-Bay now. Truly unfortunate because the public never gets a chance to purchase truly good items; just the junk that is leftover. Our Youth Ranch stores have been known to sell stuff at full price or even more. And in this economy, that is ridiculous.<br />I, too, always haggle. Except when it's a Craigslist item that reflects what it should cost. There is a point where asking folks to reduce their price is insulting. I've had people try to get me to cut my cost to ridiculous. And I just won't get suckered in. Some things are worth hanging on to until you get a fair price, not a ripoff offer. I remember selling some of Megan's ice skates and the person mentioned they could sell them on E-Bay for 4 times as much. I told her I was not going to sell them to her. I wanted a kid who needed skates to get them, not some scammer trying to make money.<br />Anyways, carry on Johnny.Marti Spudboaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15277036335158434202noreply@blogger.com
