When folks put stuff up for sale for like five bucks, are they lonely or really broke? Otherwise why bother?
If you pay a dollar and sell it for five, you make a $3 profit, and you get back $4. Do that about 100 times a year, and that's a 300% profit on your investment.
Some people just want to get rid of shit, and will sell it for nothing just to clear it out. Those people should just donate it to thrift shops.
Some people have stuff they no longer want, but don't want to give it away. So, they put it up to make a little money.
I sell shit for pocket change. I've spent 223.73 on crap and have made $1957.59 in profit. Since you get the money you spent on the items back, I've gotten $2181.32. Of course I charge for s/h, so that's already removed from these totals.
When I visited Lancaster, my favorite place was the Wilbur Chocolate Factory in nearby Lititz. The dark chocolate Wibur Buds are heavenly!
Yes it is. The dark chocolate are the best. After covid they basically did away with the samples. I'd eat like twenty when we're in the store.
If you ever go back. Do yourself a favor OREGON DAIRY RESTAURANT is excellent, especially the breakfast. It's a farm/restaurant/supermarket.
I hate to say it but I spent my first 20 years on the Jersey shore. Then it was off to see the states. I went back once or twice for a visit.
I grew up on Long Island (36 years). Once I hit 17, most of my nights were spent in NYC. In 96 I moved to NYC. Three years of hell. 24 hours of bass coming through the walls. I mean that, 24 hours. In 99 we moved to Iselin NJ. Moved to PA in 2021. I'll probably die here. But, I also said that about our first house in Iselin.
Yup, they don't make movies like they used to. When it's all computer-generated tricks, it loses it's "art form" status.
At how many points in that clip, regardless of the rocks being fake, could he have been hurt or killed? That tree stunt is phenomenal. Falling from that height. I certainly wouldn't do it. Many hate the old studio system. But, they created the greatest motion pictures of all time. They knew storytelling.
