The local Goodwill store had a HALF PRICE on all Electrical items
yesterday. The sign read: "Everything Electrical is Half Price Today -
Anything that plugs in".

I got:
Lamp timer with a 120V cord on it.
Computer mouse with PS2 cord/plug
A 6 foot A/V cable (3 wire RCA cable for a VCR or DVD player)
A USB to Mini USB cord for my cellphone.

When I checked out, the clerk said that the only item that plugs in, was
the timer. I explained to her that the computer mouse PLUGS IN to a
computer, the RCA cable PLUGS IN to a TV and VCR or DVD, and the USB
cord PLUGS IN to a computer and cellphone.

She called the manager. He asked her what the problem is.
She said this stuff dont plug in. He looked puzzled, when I said "It
dont say what it's supposed to plug *INTO*", and told hom the same as I
told the clerk (above).

He agreed with me, and said it all looked electrical, and told the clerk
to give me the half price. But said if anything needed batteries, that
would not qualify.

I'm not complaining, but that really is stupid and very vague wording.
Just saying "Electrical" should suffice.....

Aren't things at the Good Will donated ? In that case they should be glad
to get rid of whatever someone wants to buy. It is really 100 % profit
minus what they pay the people. I would say if it has a wire or contains
batteries it would be electrical.

Don't try to ask the government. Friend in high school joined the airforce
to learn electronics around 1970. They put him up in Alaska painting radar
towers. He asked the base commander about how that was electronics.
Commander pulled out the book (think it is called a MOS Book). Went down
the list, Electronics, Radar , Radar Towers, Painting of radar towers,
Commander said ' yep you are in electronics, now get your butt back out and
start painting'. He spent most of his time painting.

"Electrical" implies that it's something that runs on 115v "house

The lamp timer would be such.

Items for the computer etc, would be considered "electronics".

The clerk was technically right. but it could be subject to

I don't see why "electrical" strictly means that it has to
run off 120V AC. I think the strongest argument is the next
part, where it says "anything that plugs in". I think you
could reasonably construe the two taken together to mean
that they meant anything that plugs into an outlet. But it's
a poorly worded offer.

Thats how I feel about it too. Yes, its donated, and most workers are

guess there may be a paid manager (just a guess). I have shopped at
Goodwill for most of my life, but in the last 5 or 10 years, their
prices have gotten way too high. Some stuff is more than in a retail
store. For example, a pair of used blue jeans for $9. I can buy a pair
of NEW Rustler jeans at Walmart for $11.

At half price, I paid about $8 for these 4 electrical/electronic items.
I would not have bought the stuff for $16. For example, The mouse was
priced at $5. That's a lot for a used PS2 microsoft mouse, but for
$2.50, I'd buy it, since I wanted to have a spare.

I've seen used VCRs priced at $40. Come on, thats robbery.

Generally thrift shop prices are VERY good, and only a cheapskate

stuff is donated with the expectation that it will be sold at a
reasonable price, that will provide funds for the charity involved.

The man has a point. There are jeans and there are jeans, some
costing $100, $200, even $300+ when new. And then there is what
condition they are in. If it was a pair of jeans that normally
go for even $50 and in excellent condition, they'd be a steal
at $9. Actually, some folks pay *more* for used looking jeans.
They call them "distressed" and Voila!, they cost 2X.

In 1947, the family of the late GREAT Carl Perkins moved into a house
with an electrical system. Carl saved up a month's wages and bought an
electrical radio. Before that, he couldn't listen much because his
radio ran on expensive chemical packs (leaky alkalines or something).

So you have a radio that works with no electricity. How does that work?
Considering that radio signals themselves are electric fields, you'd
need a new kind of broadcasting.

You don't need electricity to receive AM. A (?)crystal will convert the
received signal to headphones. DAGS on Crystal radios.

but that received signal is: ELECTRICITY!


Oh yeah, like I'm supposed to power my home's electrical system from a
crystal radio. I WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY!!!

powering your with electricity would be a subset of "electrical".


How could my home be powered with a subset? A subset must have either a
diesel engine and a big battery or a nuclear reactor. My home's
electrical system has none of those things.

I think I know your home better than you do. Check the sub sub sub
basement.

Spit is out so I can mark it. What color?

You may be thinking of my summer place, Castle De'ath. When Patrick
Macnee asked to film an episode there, I said it was out of the
question. A man's castle is his home! Then Diana Rigg walked in and
stood silhouetted against the window in her sheer nightgown. Macnee
said viewers wouldn't even notice my sub pens. I agreed.

If there were any under this house, wouldn't I have been informed when I
bought it? Wouldn't the cellar have told me?
