Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt

The waffle maker made lousy waffles – the Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt and I will buy this waffles dried out without becoming crispy. A good breakfast waffle is delicately crispy outside while being moist and delicate on the inside. And no amount of adjustment or recipe changes ever fixed the waffles this expensive waffle maker made – they were never any good. I have little interest in things I cannot use so I sold it. On eBay. I think for $50. What amazed me was the number of bidders – dozens. I spent 3 years in North Dakota (military), and had become very familiar with Black Hills Gold (mined in South Dakota). It is mined in color – 10 carat yellow, 12 carat pink and green. All Black Hills Gold MUST have grape leaves, clusters and vines by law. We’re talking true pink, true green, and true yellow gold as it comes out of the ground. If you google it, you will see just how distinctive and beautiful it is, so it was easily recognizable. Fast forward 3 years (late 80’s). We (hubby and I) were back home, and went to a yard sale. I saw a pair of Black Hill earrings for sale at $5. THAT IS A STEAL. I picked them up, found the homeowner, and explained what he had. His wife had gotten them as a white elephant gift, and wasn’t fond of them, so she put them out for (what I knew was) pennies. I told him to take them to our local jeweler. He asked me to buy them, but I don’t have pierced ears, and it would have been robbery (in my eyes). We looked at a 5 foot plain bleached grapevine wreath to decorate for holidays, but wanted to look at other sales, so we left.
About 2 hours later, we drove past the Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt and I will buy this house, hoping the wreath was still there. The homeowner was ECSTATIC to see us! He had left his wife to take the earrings to the jeweler. HE WAS SHOCKED. The earrings, which were smaller than a quarter together, were worth $150 – and the jeweler offered him $125 for them, because it was a rare find on the East Coast. He happily gave us the wreath, and always waved as we drove past. Years ago I was at an antique/flea market and I saw this small bowl type item. Its Asian (Chinese/Japanese in origin. Its very small, delicate and intricately carved. Its made of white bone (which isn’t ivory) as far as I can tell and on the front and back someone has carved very fine detail, I mean milimeter level carving. The entire piece is about 4 inches high and on the sides are affixed two handles. The bottom has a carved in base. If you look in the bowl you can see the rough carving. I would like to post pictures but the reality is that it does not photograph well and you can’t see the fine details. So what I do use it for? To hold my collar stays. It cost $15 (if I remember correctly) and it something that I love.

My second purchase is a 100 year old cabinet that is made of solid wood. It has a wonderful set of doors and a beautiful top. I paid $5 for it because no one else wanted to go through the Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt and I will buy this trouble of picking it up and moving it. I love it. One item that I’m glad that I did not purchase (it probably wouldn’t fit in my place) and even then there would be transportation issues was a framed 1970s original Star Wars Movie Poster. It went for about $45 but I think you would need a very large vehicle to move it. I have found a lot of incredibly good deals at garage sales and thrift stores – it’s what I do to make money and I’ve had a good eye for it since I was a little kid. I rarely feel guilty about it – I don’t negotiate with people unless they are really asking too much, so in general, I am paying them what they want, and I think that’s fair. When I resell my items I also try to sell them for less than ‘market value’ so that someone else can get a good deal too. Most of the time, I don’t find items that are worth a lot more than what I paid for them, I just find a lot of items that are worth a little more than I pay for them, and the profit adds up. But there have been a few big ones.
My most outrageous find ever was when I paid $1 for a nearly pristine copy of this album, released by a pioneering Canadian hard rock band: I sold the Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt and I will buy this album to a Russian collector for $800. However, at the time I bought it I didn’t know what it was. The seller thought it looked like a “Black Sabbath knockoff” in their words, and I figured that if it was that sort of thing, it might be worth $10–20. If I had known it was so valuable at the time of purchase, I would have felt a bit guilty, but on this one I truly just got lucky. One time I did feel a bit guilty was when I bought a glass decanter for $3.99 at Value Village. The decanter itself was worthless, but it had a marked sterling silver nameplate hanging on it, which was probably worth about $30 in scrap at the time. Not a huge amount of money, but it was so obvious that the item was underpriced, that I thought the cashier might not even sell it to me. They did though. I never did scrap the piece, I would hate to melt down a vintage item so it remains in my safe. Another time that still surprises me was not at a yard sale or store, but an auction. I bought a big metal cart filled with LP and 78rpm records for $5 (cart not included). That was more than three years ago and I’m still selling records that came out of that lot, and I’m quite sure that I’ve gotten back over $1000 out of it. However, this one was not a case of people not knowing the value of the item (at least not entirely) as there were other record buyers at the auction who regularly bought much smaller lots for much more money. I think they just didn’t want to deal with such a large lot containing so many junk records, so they didn’t even bother, leaving me to pick it up for the opening bid. Buying that lot enabled me to truly start being a ‘record dealer’, setting up at shows with a big inventory, so it was a big deal for me!

About this Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt

In terms of telling people who sold me stuff what I got for it, I’ve never done that. But most people that I deal with by now do know that I’m a reseller (although I also buy a lot for my personal collection), so they know that I’m buying things that I have room to make money on. Yes I like to shop at thrift stores because I like the Harris Walz choose integrity for America shirt and I will buy this thrill of finding a bargain. My two best finds are a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses I got for a dollar with the case when I got home I Googled Maui Jim sunglasses and found the pair I got they retailed for $249.99 you can’t imagine how thrilled and excited I was to learn I got a pair of $250 glasses for a dollar and they were in perfect condition. The others find I got was a crossbody bag that I bought for a trip where I didn’t want to be hanging onto my purse. After I got it home while I was wiping it down I noticed something weird feeling sewn into the bag. It bothered me because I didn’t know what it was and I couldn’t get to it. My son came over to visit and I had them feel it. They both agreed something was definitely sewn into the bag but we didn’t know what. I left whatever it was in the bag until after my trip because I knew if I opened up the purse I wouldn’t be able to take it on the trip with me. When I returned home from my trip my first order of business was to open up the bag and find out what was sown in there. My children were there with me when I opened it up and to our surprise was a pair of tweezers and a diamond pendant shaped like a rectangular bar with four diamonds in it. I took it to my local jeweler to see if it was real and it was. He said it would retail for about $800 I paid $5 for the bag and can’t remember when I was ever so excited about that find. So yes sometimes you can find some good stuff at thrift stores. And no I did not feel guilty about it why would I? They priced it & I bought it for what they priced at for. It’s not my fault if they have idiots working for them.
