You are really limiting yourself.

Cute is cute, period.

I would much rather spend my time flirting with a cute man, tranny, etc. than Joe, for example.

Now, Joe and I would have a lot to talk about, and it would be fun, but I wouldn't be flirting to with him.

I hope this clears things up.

Also, PM me those pics of you in a tube top (you know you have them).

So I was at a Goodwill last weekend (okay like 4 of them) and apart from that big ass tv I mentioned in some other thread I felt I woudl add this...


The last Goodwill I visited on Sunday had a treasure trove of NES, and SNES goodies all in one lot..

BUT

they were behind glass and you couldn't buy them..


noooo you needed to bid on them (starting at $240) for the lot. with the bid ending sometime this month.....

I lookedat what was there...a NES, and SNES, a Genesis and a few random games (nothing bad but nothing excting warrenting a price tage of it's starting bid.

Needless to say I passed ......


Last time (about a year or two ago) I saw a Nintendo lot in a Goodwill in Austin, TX go for auction along with other "high dollar" stuff...it was not nearly as nice of stuff as what I saw at this other Goodwill in San Antonio, TX, BUT I went to the auction that was heled that weekend...made a trip out of it...drove to Austin, TX which was about 2 1/2 hours away......and started to big...but once it broke into the $120 range I gave up.........that little Nintendo lot (honeslty nothing to interesting) went for $200 ish....

So yeah....I don't know...I just to love going to Salvatoin Army and Goodwill....you'd find really interesting furniture that can be made to look great, sometimes really nice things from the 50's and 60's (to me) for a song....

but it seems that everything get's checked by ebay.

It's starting to get frustrating at thrift stores. Find something game related MAYBE one out of every ten times I go to a store. I will still continue to go though as it's fun looking for stuff. I have other hobbies and things I'm looking out for so it still makes the trips worthwhile...sometimes.

Well here is some good news regarding The Grid Goodwill Stores. Apparently the stores are stocked only from regional donations.

Screw regional donations, too. Why on earth is this a real thing? People give to Goodwill for FREE so that they can screw over vulnerable workers and enrich management? That is the scammiest business model and a thousand leagues scammier than reselling for the sake of reselling. f*ck Goodwill, and I don't hold anyone in too high of a regard who goes there knowing what kind of shitbucket practices they have in place.

I don't even give a shit if I can buy a Magical Chase in there for $5. I'd much rather go to Salvation Army and local thrifts. I've got morals!

I agree. There was a GW store on eBay that was offering Best Offer on a 12.99 game. I offered $8 . He declined the offer and said it wasn't fair. I said that the game is a donation so any money should be better than no money. And revenue now is better than revenue later from a business standpoint.

No response.., offer declined.
