If you’re still with me, thank you. I wanted to save my favorite methods of junk sifting for last: garage sales and estate sales. As great as flea markets (Part 1), thrift stores (Part 2), pawn shops (Part 3), and online marketplaces (Part 4) are, garage and estate sales blow them out of the water …
Now we get to digitally sift through people’s junk. I really want to explore the simplest way to see what kind of crap people want to get rid of: online marketplaces. Craigslist (Kijiji for you Canadians), Facebook Marketplace, Reverb, Etsy, eBay, forum exchanges, Reddit exchanges, etc. The list could go on and on and on …
Now onto a darker side of other people’s junk: pawn shops. Pawn shops come across as icky sometimes. I definitely used to watch a ton of Pawn Stars as a kid. Then I sold some of my stuff to a few pawn shops to get some money to buy my first handgun. Nowadays I USUALLY …
Thrift stores, thrift stores, thrift stores…how I love and hate you. So, so much. Thrift stores are often many a teens first step into buying used goods, and it’s a habit that continues into adulthood. Truth be told, I didn’t start thrifting until I went off to college. We had a few different thrift stores …
One of my favorite things to do is sift through other people’s junk. Not their trash, but just the crap they want to get rid of. Personally, I blame being stuck in the mountains with nothing but the History Channel in the 00s. The mountains rule but being stuck watching American Pickers (a great show …
Before I get to talking about the magical bean water known as coffee, I wanted to include a quick update for my site. It’s been way, way too long since I last wrote here. I hope to start updating more frequently. A lot of what’s to come will mostly likely be short rambling blurbs related …
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been the type to try to fix things on my own. I blame my dad and an uncle. Growing up, my father watched A LOT of home improvement shows, most notably This Old House. My mom still tells me that when I was real little I’d get excited and …
So last weekend was pretty exciting. My dad and I hit up two local car shows. Expect this to be a photo heavy post much like Sun, Cars, and Coffee in West Palm. The first car show featured Corvettes at the McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, FL and the second was a general car show in …
It’s been awhile, again. As you know I got laid off back in October 2018–I’m still hunting for a job. The whole ordeal is strange, to say the least. I’ve been doing all sorts of job interviews, and even went to Bozeman, Montana for one. My life feels as if I hit a pause button …
So I’m still in Miami, but I’ve kind of gone full circle. I’m blasting indie/surf rock. If you knew me in high school and knew my friends, you’d know that they were heavily inspired by, well, both of those genres. It’s only fitting that I leave South Florida indulging in the same kinds of music. …
