See, so even you feels annoyed with some people treating you as if you are the conductor when they give you their fare.

I would also do that too. I stare at them with glaring eyes and get their fare and give it to the driver. Then, I would say “Thank you Ha?”. And the person would timidly say “Thank You.”

I know , other people might think I am so sensitive, but I guess that’;s how it is with people used to good manners and saying thank you always, when done a favor. he he he

yes sometimes i ignore it and sometimes if im free i teach them lesson also by only stairing so they get it

I can read through your posts that you are a wise person who think of ways on how to be able to economize and be able to save a lot when purchasing insurances and the like.

Actually, we don’t have those accident insurances. Although, when you ride a bus going to Manila, you will be made to choose if your buy an insurance for only 20 pesos (US$ .02), good only in case you met an accident on that trip.

Even airplanes have insurance coverage inclusive of the airfare paid.

We also have our accident insurance coverage for each employees at the office.

＠Dina，ｓｏ　do you buy the insurance when ride the bus?

Some people develop love and like for old things. This is no doubt a good hobby. There is no guarantee we always will be on the profit side. Sometimes we will incur heavy loss also. But, the chances for the latter are less.
Yes. The price of the old ones will be half of the new ones. It is also true that most of the machinery will have good quality material wise than the new ones.
I had a good experience. I got Manual singer sewing machine which is of 60 years old. We were not using it. I wanted to use it. So took it to the servicing center. The mechanic was an expert. He just saw it and asked ‘WHY WAS IT KEPT IDLE FOR THE LAST 40 TO 50 YEARS”. I told him the reason He asked for the machine and was ready to pay Rs.6000/- as is where is a condition. I did not accept for that and got it repaired. Now it is perfect.
Similarly, the story of my St.Thomas Wall Clock which is really 150 years old. My grandfather purchased it in those British days.
I really enjoy to have them and take good care of the above two items.

Good article. We have in the States a similar location. We call these places Thrift stores. They are designed to raise funds for the homeless and needy. Rich people contribute to these centers and you can find clothes with the receipt tag with it in good conditions. Plus, if you do your homework right, you can find good antique items in which you can sell for a profit. My wife and I have shopped at these places and we have gotten good deals,especially with the clothes. These places are good because not only do you get super deals but your funds helps out those in need. It is a win-win deal!

Mr. Siva, those antique lovers look for profits and it towards old coins, paper money, stamp, antique furniture, etc.
Me, just for fun and own collection, not much for profit. Haha!
Singer manual sewing machine is always the best, I believe, especially those old one, with 50 years and older. If you have an older, with 70 years old, I believe your must have a very nice flowery stand. This is what I always looking for and admired to, but yet get one with me so far. Sigh!
St. Thomas brand clock, I have no idea on the brand, but I just bought a digital Telesonic wall clock at USD4, we repaired it , it can play music and with some lights on , my kids are very happy with it. I believe, a new one could cost up to USD150 at least.

Yes, take well care of those antique items with sweet memory.

@Caleb, it’s win-win deal, but I not really go for profits, but most of the retires and furniture manufacturers come here and buy for re-cond those furniture for resell for profit.
