      I found that when I'm angry at someone, it helps me to listen to Nazareth's song, "Hair of the Dog", loud, until I cool off. That's the "now you're messing with..." song. 😉

      I have one near me similar. They treat everyone like they are selling off their stuff for drugs lol.
      Sure, some do, and I've seen them in the store. So they don't care if the real customers aren't suckers and walk, they know the next meth head will be in shortly and they only like to buy from them.

      Hell, I still remember the day my dad's schizophrenia went haywire (edit: He listened to a televangelist's story about how the devil physically manifested from a black cloud that oozed out of a radio), so he sold all my original nes, n64, and ps1 games. They paid him 25 cents canadian for my final fantasy 1. For my collection of games, he got about 8 bucks, let alone 40 american for 5 games. It's taken me about 15-20 years to finally get that collection (mostly) back

    Pete another great video, but, there is always a but, the gentleman in the background who was cleaning a record with a back and forth motion with not so clean cloth could damage the record. A lite spay with a record cleaner, then wiping in a circular motion with a clean micro fiber cloth, then allowing a few minutes to air dry, will yield the best result.

    The guy who sold the sword that had been in the family a long time is an example of WHY you should be very careful about family heirlooms. Do not give them to anyone who is sketchy and has no real interest in family history. Better to give to a distant cousin who appreciates history than some relative who has no interest in history or family heirlooms.

    I buy and sell for a living these days and I have lost count of the number of people who have told me something is brand new never used and I have a look and its obviously not. Most of these people are baby boomers in 50s and 60s. Nothing to do with being frugal but all to do with self entitlement. Im a baby boomer myself.
