    Tiada wrote a new post, Why should support and buy old things? 7 years, 9 months ago

    There is second hand shop or centre located nearby my house. The public donate their unwanted or unnecessary goods, cloths, toys, electrical goods, IT gadgets, some in good conditions and some in bad condition […]

    • 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.

    • So it’s also International Book Giving Day yesterday , February 14. I didn’t know that. All I know is that it was Valentine’s day yesterday.

      That being the International Book Giving Day, we can hit two birds in one two when we give the children books on Valentine’s day. It means it’s a gift for Valentine’s Day and for International Book Giving Day.

    • @Dina, good idea! Does the kid need to celebrate Valentine’s Day too? I thought this is only the festival for adults? 😛

      Anyway, hope the public will donate some books to the kids too beside gifting some roses to their lovers.

      Hope I can donate more books to the children whom needed them too next year. Keep my figure crossed.

    • I am using this washing machine for the past 12 years This is great. So far I never had any trouble. It was a Top Loader. When I purchased it was the only model available with drier. A good mechanism that made the work easy. The speed and other activities are perfect. The credit goes to my wife who maintains it perfectly following the instructions meticulously. I am damn bored of this washing machine as it is giving looking dull. When I expressed it to my wife she kept it in her mind. A week back I saw a new washing machine. I thought that it was really a new one.
      But, wife got the cover totally replaced.
      I really surprise why couldn’t I get this idea.
      I never had an opportunity to go for a new one.
