  • The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.

    .

    People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?

    .

    Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.

    .

    Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.

    .

    Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.





  • It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

    Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

    Creepy and “hell no”, right?

    That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.
