| schestowitz-pi | only just got back | Aug 17 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | excellent yield | Aug 17 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | let me catch up first\ | Aug 17 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | bought loads of things | Aug 17 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | not so much food | Aug 17 11:00 |
| techtrights-sec6 | great | Aug 17 11:13 |
| schestowitz-pi | dep. on how you count, savings in range of 200-300 | Aug 17 11:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | some vintage items | Aug 17 11:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | price of monin rose | Aug 17 11:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | he realised how expensive those are in the shops | Aug 17 11:14 |
| techtrights-sec6 | so it goes | Aug 17 11:15 |
| techtrights-sec6 | what is the rose syrup used for? It would be after baking not before | Aug 17 11:15 |
| techtrights-sec6 | so that the flavor does not evaporate, in any case. | Aug 17 11:15 |
| schestowitz-pi | the price rose | Aug 17 11:16 |
| schestowitz-pi | sometimes they sell things they don't know | Aug 17 11:16 |
| schestowitz-pi | you don't want to correct them | Aug 17 11:16 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I once bought a book at a used book store that was only on the shelf by | Aug 17 11:17 |
| techtrights-sec6 | extreme chance. I made the mistake about laughing when the proprieter | Aug 17 11:17 |
| techtrights-sec6 | asked rehtorically if he should have asked a hirer price. Truth be told | Aug 17 11:17 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I was probably the only one in town who would have bought that book. But | Aug 17 11:17 |
| techtrights-sec6 | the next time I was in the shop the prices on basically everything had doubled. | Aug 17 11:17 |
| techtrights-sec6 | asked rehtorically if he should have asked a higher price. Truth be told | Aug 17 11:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | whati mentioned in mumble | Aug 17 11:18 |

| schestowitz-pi | re shipping | Aug 17 11:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | value is supply/demand and "how much the vendor values it" | Aug 17 11:18 |
| techtrights-sec6 | True | Aug 17 11:19 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Anyway the book was a very good present for a friend who had appreciated | Aug 17 11:19 |
| techtrights-sec6 | that style of literature. | Aug 17 11:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | what u want is the "i want to get rid of everything todsy!" vendor | Aug 17 11:19 |

| techtrights-sec6 | Yes, but that can be inconvenient. I "had to" buy a case of bananas for < $1 | Aug 17 11:20 |
| techtrights-sec6 | (10 SEK) once just to get two of them ... | Aug 17 11:20 |
| schestowitz-pi | the banana story is opp. | Aug 17 11:20 |
| schestowitz-pi | it's the \ | Aug 17 11:20 |
| schestowitz-pi | this client will pay no matter what | Aug 17 11:20 |
| schestowitz-pi | airlines LOVE those | Aug 17 11:20 |
| techtrights-sec6 | A friend checked out the price of MIGs for his employer just after the collapse | Aug 17 11:21 |
| techtrights-sec6 | For a brief while they were going for $400 but no idea how one would actually | Aug 17 11:21 |
| techtrights-sec6 | take one home, or across the border for that matter at any price. | Aug 17 11:21 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I saw lots of valuable equipment in flea markets at that time too. | Aug 17 11:21 |
| techtrights-sec6 | https://nuke.fas.org/guide/russia/airdef/mig-23.htm | Aug 17 11:25 |
| schestowitz-pi | get this | Aug 17 11:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | so i'm like | Aug 17 11:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | no way he means a MiG | Aug 17 11:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | so i look up wikis for other migs | Aug 17 11:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | and then i realise | Aug 17 11:27 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Good that | Aug 17 11:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | wait, did you MEAN really... MiG? | Aug 17 11:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | then i saw it was, indeed, a small i | Aug 17 11:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | i didn't see any planes on sale in the Sunday Market ^_^ | Aug 17 11:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | it is a white elephant that kpicks up rust | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | even if it worked | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | you have no permission | Aug 17 11:29 |

| schestowitz-pi | it's just about saying | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | i, a turtle-looking, billg, bought some ancient thing | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | and hoard arts | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | there was this old german lady qwith 'nazi tank' | Aug 17 11:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | (still functional iirc)... in the basement or whatever... they didn't let her keep it | Aug 17 11:29 |
| techtrights-sec6 | yes there are a great many practical problems even if the engine does not | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | spontaneously explode. | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | The price went way up later. | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Back in the end of the 80s early 90s many people mistakenly thought | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | 1) that I was a lot older than I was | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | 2) that I had a lot of money | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I was constantly (it seemded) pestered about deals back then | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Oddly the clothes I had were cheaper than what other people wore. | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | If I had realized how many thin clothes were in the flea markets | Aug 17 11:31 |
| techtrights-sec6 | it would have be even cheaper. | Aug 17 11:31 |
| schestowitz-pi | rich people, as i tell ryan | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | don't dress up much | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | those who pretend... do | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | BUT... | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | they will NOT come and spray 5 cans on coackroaches | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | like his slumlord | Aug 17 11:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | they pay someone to do that | Aug 17 11:32 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Not dressed up, but sharp | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Inexpensive but sharp. | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | There was a good store back then down town. Old world tailors with | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | old world accents. | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | "You are $SIZE" | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | "Are you sure?" | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | "Of course. But I can measure if you like." | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | {measures} | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | "See. $SIZE, just like I said." ... | Aug 17 11:33 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Top quality clothes at prices lower than jeans. | Aug 17 11:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | rianne will disagree | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | but clothes are overrated | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | i still wore days ago the same shorts i wore age 15 when playing tennis | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | they are fine | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | this morn we joked about my wallet | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | like if i was on a date :) | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | what would she think??? | Aug 17 11:35 |
| schestowitz-pi | i think i had it as a teen | Aug 17 11:35 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Top quality clothes at prices lower than jeans. | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I got the items adjusted each time so the fit was perfect. | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I've gotten way too fat and under the fat there are some muscles, both | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | more than when I was 20. The fat a lot more. | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | A girlfriend of sorts was so offended by my wallet that she went out | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | and bought a replacement as a present. It's not yet worn out even | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | after all these decades but it's not as tidy as it was before. | Aug 17 11:37 |
| techtrights-sec6 | time to reboot? | Aug 17 11:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | let me finish daily links | Aug 17 11:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | won't be long | Aug 17 11:37 |

| techtrights-sec6 | I have a reserve Norwegian wallet but xxxxx did not like it so I put it away. | Aug 17 11:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | It is made with green fish skin leather and has a partiion etc for two | Aug 17 11:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | currencies and such. I liked it but for some reason, never found out why, | Aug 17 11:39 |
| techtrights-sec6 | xxxxx did not like it at all. | Aug 17 11:40 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Dress clothes for thin people are abundant in flea markets as many people | Aug 17 11:53 |
| techtrights-sec6 | eventually get fat. | Aug 17 11:53 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Nowadays, I dress less sharply, more or less tolerably in rural environments | Aug 17 11:53 |
| techtrights-sec6 | but too shabby for the downtown most of the time. | Aug 17 11:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | in the market i look like a camper | Aug 17 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | looking good at "not fixed price" markets | Aug 17 11:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | is not a good plan | Aug 17 11:56 |
