      They want to cut out the middle man and make all the internet products, a trend that has all but killed the thrift store industry.
      I used to work for a company that owned and operated 5 thrift store locations and one of my jobs was to check the value of stuff and sell anything worth more than $30 on eBay

    The Belle de jour is a great movie. The Deep Purple, I think, was the last one with Blackmore I believe. Really a lost gem. The fact someone re-recorded it is mind blowing, and badly at that. Great haul for you there. Next week should be Halloween. Let us wait for the insanity.

      @14:10 oh wow, my parents have that "25 All-Time Family Favorites" albumn. If someone had asked me, I'd have no idea what they were talking about, but seeing it, some distant memory buried in my cranium lept to life. I'm easily amused, but I think that's a cool random 'oh hey' moment.

    I had a TV like that Gold Star when I was in high school in the very late-90s-early-00s. It was a black & white one though. Got it for free from an old motel in Gatlinburg TN that was clearing out storerooms (same way I got a GE floor model TV from the '60s...one of those ones that sat on skinny legs instead of sitting right on the floor...you'd be surprised how long some places will hold onto something).

      @@chrisw6164 I wasn't sure if it was a laser disc but I read a history about them too, :) They also didn't go so well for a while. But at least dvds are still going on these days. Speaking of the playboy stuff, they should've had an adults area in a resale shop for adults where they can put their videos/books there. Like libraries where they have a section for adults only. Why can resale shops do that right?
