I can't begin to remember how many people that have said "leave your number and we'll call you" only to never hear a word from them. That's the polite way of saying "get the h-ll out of here and leave me the f--k alone." I asked a person in a high up position at one of our local charity thrift stores to please call me if anything old came in because I'd be interested in buying it. He told me real fast that he wouldn't call me because they didn't have time to waste setting non working junk to the side for someone and that anything old that didn't work would go to the trash. He said the only chance I might have was to drop by everyday and if something happened to be there, we could deal. Needless to say, I didn't like his smart@$$ attitude and I have not been back since. I mean, what is it with these places? They are always begging for stuff to sell and $$ donations; yet, I offer to buy their non working / vintage stuff and they don't want to be bothered. They'd rather throw it out! Now, if they had been nice and called me about some stuff, they could have made some $$ on some stuff that would have otherwise been trashed and maybe gotten some free stuff from me along the way! I guess they've never heard "one man's junk is another man's treasure."
