Goodwill theory....

So Nolan and I have this theory, well mainly Nolan but I agree with him. I have my own theories but we'll get to those later (remember Hemi).

To quote Nolan (Stambaugh): (excuse the spelling, sometimes he's special)
Noramlly thrifts have used clothes obviously, Lots of glassware - useful or not. right now you know im in the Alcohol related glassware which i can usually score. Crutches... for soem reason because alot of people need them once and arent stupid enough to do whatever they did again so they get rid of them
and skii's... probly what people did to need cruthces

Anyways it pretty much holds true. I've never been to any thrift store that didn't have one, if not all of these. And to that list I add golf clubs. So as a test I'm going to update this blog every time I remember to take pictures at the thrift store I happen to be at. Here's yesterday:


So, as you can see in the top picture.. Skis, and a ton of golf bags. There are more clubs than bags so the rest of the clubs are in the corner behind where you can't see. In the second picture you can see yet another pair of crutches. Are these the only pair? I wouldn't bet my life on it. What's really funny is a pair of crap wooden crutches are $50 from Walgreens, and metal ones like this which are basically brand new are $90! I think the price marked was $3 on these. You do the math and tell me where I should go if I ever break my foot dropping a piece of Goodwill audio gear.

There are other trends too, but we'll get to those at a later date.
