KIJIJI Sales


Last month, my neighbour across the street threw out 2 chain saws. I went over and grabbed them. They were really junk. One didn't even have a blade. I thought I could sell them on Kijiji. My wife laughed at me. Anyway, I put them up for $5.00. 

A few days later I received an email from a guy who said that he couldn't come into the city because of the lockdown but if I would hold them for two weeks he would give me $40.00. I told him I would hold them but $20.00 was enough. He wrote back, no way, nothing less than $30.00. OK, I held them. First time I've been beat up instead of down. 

He came by a couple of weeks later with the $30.00. Told me that collecting this brand of chainsaw was his hobby. He had about 30 of them. Said he loved to take them apart and put them together again. 

Guess I did a few good deeds. Made a collector happy, kept stuff out of the landfill and got $30.00. My wife was still laughing but now she was also shaking her head.

I remember when we used to use catalogues for toilet paper. What was your favorite, Sears or Eaton's?.

The world started falling apart when they allowed graffiti to mar the urban landscape.

When I was young and heard a new song, I could understand the words. Nowadays I can't. On second thought, maybe that's a good thing.

When I had heart surgery I lost weight and that weight is staying lost.

Your personal life is like a new pair of shoes, people may admire them but they don't know where they pinch.

Watching "Line of Duty" would make you think that half of London's coppers are bent.

Free Lottery Ticket

 


I've never won anything with a free lottery ticket. Do you think they make those numbers after the draw?
