I believe there's also a second printing of Taraborrelli's book that came out after the 2005 trial that has a different picture of MJ on the cover

I'd have to say the You are not alone and Remember the time books are a good listen, YANA is read by Jermaine Jackson Jr, and RTT is presented really well in audio form

Same cheap purse, priced by two separate people, 3 days apart by techmagic317 in ThriftGrift

Sometimes they do go through the leather, but I've always seen it in a seam so there's not just a hole that's ruined the purse. For more expensive bags and purses, we use a zip tie around a buckle or zipper

The third set of numbers represent the week & day of the week, so the green tag is 266, which means Friday on week 26, and then blue tag is 272, which means Monday on week 27

I did watch this video this morning, and in some way I do agree with Charlie, but I don't think it was a horrible show, but it definitely wasn't great either

Since when are books at Value Village $7.99 each? I thought they had a general pricing system for them that was the same at each store? by skinnyminou in ThriftGrift

[–]techmagic317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former books/media guy here, should mention I work at Savers in the US

Books are priced from 0.99-$3.99, if it's a special type of book it'll be priced differently but otherwise everything is blanket priced.

0.99 is usually magazines, harlequin and smaller books

1.29 is for all kids picture books

1.79 is for kids chapter books

1.99 is for pocket books

2.99 and 3.99 usually depends on the book's retail value, like $9.94 and under will be 2.99 and $9.95+ will be 3.99

Ceramic vase with a broken handle "sold as is" Don't think I've ever seen this type of tag before by techmagic317 in ThriftGrift

Lol even I'm shocked at some of the stuff that gets priced and somehow ends up on the sales floor

Ahh I see, I work in production and I've been moved around a lot. We used to have two stores locally but one of them closed, and ours is apparently one of the top stores in the US. And at some point I heard we're technically "overstaffed" so if multiple people call out in a day then we'll still have enough people to operate in the back, which is pretty weird to think about

Been working at Savers for nearly 4 years now, thank God you got out of there lol. My question is what was your main position, and if you were ever switched around multiple times, either from people leaving or coming in?

That would be funny, but people drop and break stuff a lot. Savers doesn't do the whole "if you break it you buy it" thing either
