I do porch pickup for selling on marketplace. I leave the item on the porch and the buyer leaves the cash where I instructed them to. I have never had an issue until Friday.   Buyer takes a $10 item and leaves $5. Ok so honest mistake, right? I message her and say what happened.  She apologizes and says she will bring the $5 after work. I did tell her she could return the item and get her money back or bring me the 5. Anyways, she never shows. She messages me and asks if she can bring the money in the morning.  Fine, she can. That was yesterday and she never came over ..read more

 I saw this fiberglass chair at the thrift store I volunteer at. The manager said I could have it as they couldn't sell it in such disrepair. I'm wondering can it be saved? If so, how? Otherwise I might see about getting a chair cover ..read more

 When you find something cool at the Goodwill and think it's vintage... And you buy it, only to discover at home, the Made in China sticker on the back that you previously missed. (My living room has big windows and a mural so there is no wall space. That's why it's so low to the floor. I'm thinking of getting something to put above the mirror to balance it out ..read more

 I found this Cosco folding chair this morning at the Dime and Dollar. I don't really know how to upholster furniture but I thought it couldn't be too hard. There are tabs under the seat you pull out and the seat comes off. I found this fun fabric at AbleLight thrift store and put it over the vinyl fabric. I'm sure this fabric would not stand up to every day use but since I won't be using it all the time, it should do for now ..read more

 During the month of January,  Goodwill hosted a drawing where you could win a gift card. Every time you made a purchase during the month, you could enter the drawing. The winner would be announced at the end of the month. I go to Goodwill a lot so my chances of winning were pretty good. I was surprised though when I got the call saying my name was actually drawn. It was funny because I was in the parking lot when the store manager called me so I was able to claim my prize right away. This was Wednesday. Today, I went and got these two items. I still have over 8 dollars left. I had b ..read more

 I've always wanted a gumball machine. I had a small standing one years ago but I sold it. Today, I found a 5 foot Wizard machine.  I haven't been able to check to see if it works because there is no key for the top and the gum is all melted inside. It was cheap because it has damage as well. Someone burned two holes into it to get free gum, I guess. One hole they patched with a washer and bolt. The other is still there. I'll probably end up buying a new globe ..read more
