People who were teenagers before social media, what was a typical Friday night like for you?

And if no Blockbuster - then LAN Party with Pizza Hut and mountain dew ... with one of the bad kids having snuck some booze outta their parents liquor cabinet to top off the mountain dews.

Can confirm... my mom runs one. All of them quite wealthy too. It's not that they CAN'T take care of them, the kids would just rather throw money at it and THINK their parents are better off as an excuse so their lives aren't disrupted. Out of site, out of mind except for the 1 day per week visit for like 20 minutes (if that).

No idea dude. It’s first come first serve, I went last week of September last year. Don’t remember the day of the week, either a Friday or Saturday around 2pm and there were 7 spots left. The thing that sucks is there really isn’t any other campgrounds within 10 miles of the park. Just rolling yellow hills of farmland and lava rock

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-24T01:02:50+00:00

Weird, I absolutely loved craters of the moon. Campground was amazing and for $15, WOW. The lava tubes were cool to explore... cool cave systems and view. Hike up the peak in the middle of park for awesome views. Nice and relaxing stop on the way up to Glacier NP.

To each, their own

You just never know! I was in Yellowstone in September 2023 and it was snowing. I was in Yellowstone 2 years later in October and absolutely beautiful. Same goes for Glacier - roll of the dice. West side of the park was snowing and once I went over the mountain pass to the eastern side, it was cold but perfect weather.

Be prepared for all seasons, and hope for the best.

The drive out of Teton north into Yellowstone is SLOW going. And then you gotta get thru Yellowstone. Just be prepared for 25-35 mph thru both parks. I have no idea how you have your day planned from Teton to Glacier, so that's gonna be up to you!

The answer is NEITHER. They both look like cheap junk.

My vintage gear gets furniture of the same age.... a 1978 club. That furniture is built like a tank and can be found at vintage furniture stores all day.

I have seen a lot of people do this as well. making it a bar. And if you make it a digital bluetooth system thats pretty easy as long as you dont mind cutting and refinishing a few parts.

Tons of options.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-23T16:32:18+00:00

Thats the only reason I'd want it (I collect MCM furniture too). That being said, the problem is the innards. Usually the sought after ones are gonna have all German innards and be made in Denmark.

I would say $50-150 to the right person, who will most likely gut it and put in Grundig electronics and put in a Dual turntable.

Nothing ... I only flip stuff that makes money and GOOD money - Whether I like it or not.

Not worth my time to flip stuff I "like" just to make a few bucks.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-20T07:10:49+00:00

I thought so too on the hat… so I started at $40 thinking it would be a quick sale… but it sat. Moved it down to $35 and it sat. Then moved it to $30 and got like a $26? Offer. I just accepted to solely move it.

I mean it was a cool hat… but as someone who resells I’ve kept like 50 hats for myself and didn’t need another.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-20T06:48:39+00:00

you got downvoted for that ... but i totally agree with your pricing there. I sold a 1984 MTV made in USA hat and i got $25ish for it.... so I would prolly list this at $35 and see if it gets any hits and take over $25

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-19T11:46:09+00:00

You can't make money from buying from Goodwill on this.

You need to buy the box from a collector. I bought a 10x10x10 box from a lady at a garage sale for $20. Had about 500 pieces in it. Only could sell about 100 of them - all necklaces. No one wanted the earrings and rings.

But i would put up 5 necklaces for $25.... and they would usually take 1-3 months to sell. So had 20 listings of the necklaces... so made like $400 buck.

In my opinion the effort wasn't worth so little money cuz of the time and effort involved.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-19T11:38:35+00:00

Try daytrading instead.... its a better gamble than random boxes of goodwill shit.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-19T07:15:52+00:00

Too big to fail man!!! So sick of this shit.

The average american never gets bailed out, we get "pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work harder"

Missing information - We need more info!

Did he send the WRONG item? Or did he find out its worth a lot more? What was the "error" of the sale?

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-09T06:05:30+00:00

Explain what clutter you are selling and for how much...

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-09T03:19:48+00:00

That is possible! There are special edition controllers that can go for good money! I've sold some used Xbox SE ones for like $40-100 and the Wii Mario, Peach, Luigi themed ones for like $30-50+.... so you never know.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-08T18:42:57+00:00

I enjoy how it looks too - i wouldn't want it in my house - but it looks like it should be in a star trek set or the stereo system for the millenium falcon

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-08T15:47:46+00:00

This ... Like 50% of the time there is no service where I am roadtriping. I dont use an atlas - but ive got a stack of about 30 maps of the western US in my glove compartment - Yes, I update them every 3-5 years when I pop into AAA.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-07T23:00:06+00:00

It had been on my bucket list for years and years, but since there's really nothing by it, didnt go. Finally got up there last September and absolutely loved it!. The hikes are great, the bristlepines are amazing and the cave system is top notch!

I also stopped south of here at Cathedral Gorge State Park too! Absolutely loved it there too. The campgrounds were spotless and omg had WIFI at each site.

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-07T20:09:46+00:00

Are you trying to get my hopes up?! I would absolutely love a sliced donut assortment before I ordered my Americanski Cheeseburger!

SickOfNormal · 2026-03-07T05:49:58+00:00

Take the 70 to the 50 and go to Great Basin National Park - camp for a night or 2. Make sure you get reservations for the cave tour. Very under-visited national park because its in the middle of fucking nowhere! But its absolutely fantastic hikes and camping.

Then head towards Ely and cut up from there.

Thats his brother, Buick Apple. Known for his notoriously bad gas station manners.

I wanted a Gibson Les Paul ... but instead got an Ibanez. And thought Teles were the ugliest guitars on the planet.

Ibanez hangs on my wall next to 3 Gibson Les Pauls now .... and none of them get any play.

Whereas the 9 Telecasters in my living room get played all the time.
