Me, too! I saw this more annoying ad, and I got yelled at because I wanted that stupid ad to go away. It's the Lunchables: Walking Taco ad, and I want it gone. NOW.

It sucked, AFAIAC. I did buy some garden twine for $3.82 w/free delivery. Take that Mr. Bezos.
 
I was looking at some action video cameras. Today I got an e-mail offering up to 15% off the ones I put on my wish list.
 
Is this what they mean by a war on Christmas? Only 364 days until Prime Shopping!

Me too, except maybe not. A 2013 Corolla. It should last beyond my

You should have offered $2. I hate having my first offer accepted
immediately :-(

Back when I was doing surveys, I got a pair of very nice FRS
walkie-talkies (possibly Cobra, possibly Motorola, it's been a while)
for free. Never had occasion to use them, but their batteries stayed
charged for over a year. Never can tell when they might come in handy...

We always offer a price that we'd be glad to get the thing for. Usually
works, but there are some people who really don't understand the concept
of castoff-valuation. We went to one sale where everything was a
quarter, no matter what. We wanted to pay the guy more than that for
what we bought, but he'd only take a quarter. Gave new meaning to
"priced to move".

Look, many of us will take anything we can get! Facebook is really no

Minidisc? They haven't made those in years, everyone used digital flash drive recorders now.
 
Any DAT players at these garage sales?
 
At a thrift store I spent $2 on a Cannonball Run DVD box set that was missing the actual movies with the bonus discs only. I think I am going to just sneak it back on the shelf.

I generally consider it a good thing when nothing jumps out at me from
a garbage pile.
