Two genres are sitting in a bag

No, this isn't the beginning of some joke with an awful punch line. I'm no good with the telling of jokes anyway. I think I have a problem guys. One that you didn't create but certainly helped maintain. I am addicted to the media thrift store. I find myself looking around the house to find things that I don't use anymore, or don't need. I was thinking about it off and on all day today. Well, I could get rid of that one game, right? I mean, nobody plays it. I certainly don't. The only game I seem to play is The Sims 4 and I am a bit addicted to that game. So that went into the bag, then Back To The Future went in the bag. I absolutely love the series but I'll never watch it in that format. I do not watch much t.v. as it is, choosing to read more often than not. So after that went into the bag, a Harry Potter movie went in. Again, it's the format thing. I won't watch it on a DVD. That just leaves a book on The Royal Family. It was given to me and I never had any intention of really reading it. I'm not really into the royalty thing. Not unless I get a letter from The Queen herself saying I'm her long lost granddaughter or some such. Anyway, all of these things are sitting in a bag waiting for me to sell them to the local thrift shop. I will also bring my voucher but I am not sure I'll spend it.

Pretty sure you will gain a lot from them.

Not necessarily. I don't like to think about it anyway. I don't go in assuming I will get a certain amount, and when i do assume, I make sure the number I guess is very low, so that I can be pleasantly surprised when what they will give me is higher.

@JustBhem Yes, well I dont' want to be disappointed either. Like today, I only received $6.00 for what I brought in. I did sort of expect more, but I wasn't so disappointed because I didn't give myself an amount to expect.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I see. So you like to surprise yourself with how much you get. Sometimes I tend to assume I get a lot, only to disappoint me.

This store gives me half cash and half voucher. I only spend the voucher, and never go over that. If I did, I'd be broke but with lots of books to read.

@Luap1050 Haha, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't always get a lot of money, and they don't always take things. The store is more like a corporate entity, they have several stores.

@ScribbledAdNauseum $6 is better than nothing. Will check out your discussion.

@allen0187 Yes, it could have been worse, they could have given me less or told me they couldnt' take the items at all.

Been there, and already wrote a discussion about it. I only made $6.00 but I took that six dollars and bought a few things I wanted with it.

And of course, if you were into the royal family you could have become the proud owner of a dozen or so books. My mum-in-law loved them. But not Camilla. She hated her with a passion.

Thank You. I never really hope for an exact amount when I go. That way I am not disappointed, and sometimes I am surprised.

We own all the HP movies as well as Beasts. But I haven't bought Back to the future yet. As due the royal family. I've never been interested

I've owned back to the future several times. I had it on VHS at one point I believe. This copy isn't mine but I had my own DVD copy at one point. Yeah, the royals just don't keep my attention.

@ScribbledAdNauseum They don't have any impact on my life in any way shape or form, so I usually don't care. We get some books about them at work from time to time.
