RE: The Closet Clean-out and the Very Crabby Day

in The Ink Welllast month

Haha @jayna, you had me chuckling before the crabby woman image, sounds like the perfect candid camera prank. Only thing, it was for real😂 Sorry I'm laughing but I can just imagine how you must have felt, and I can see the look on those people's sullen faces!
We have an online platform called yaga where we set up our own store of preloved goods, not just clothing. I've decluttered big time, mostly homeware goods, selling them dirt cheap but making some extra on the side and the buyers are happy. We use a locker system run by a courier company, making shipping super affordable.
Yaga was started in Estonia, and whoever started Yaga here in SA must be doing exceptionally well. Perhaps there's a similar concept in your state?
If you'd like to take a peek, my store is https://www.yaga.co.za/misthrift
Thank you for brightening my day with your candid camera story. Not funny at the time though😡

Thank you, @lizelle! Oh, trust me, I was laughing the whole time I wrote this because it really is hilarious in hindsight!

Thanks so much as well for the info! I intended to add this to the post but felt it was getting too long. I've decided to make all further donations to women's shelters. It's really not about the money for me. I just don't really like the Goodwill organization, which is a capitalist regime that makes millions off the backs of their workers and receives an enormous amount of inventory for free. I mean... smart business model, but I just don't want to be a part of it. I am excited to do something positive with my donations!

That's wonderful @jayna, it's good to know that one's donations go to a good cause. Awful about the Goodwill organization though, and to be so ungracious about your donation!
