    also, fuck amazon, go to thrift stores (but not this time of year, they’ll be picked clean)-- i got a brand new toaster oven/air fryer and a mini fridge for $25 each

    you just have to keep checking back

    also, if you’re in a college town, check their bulletin boards towards the end of the semester–college kids move out of their dorms and give away all kinds of shit

      Thrift stores are kinda fake now. Especially goodwill. Not much in terms of deals nowadays, everything is just barely under retail. It’s worse now that people are going around buying and reselling products. Hard to find stuff when you’re competing with people who do it as a business.

      Craigslist is pretty dog now too. Last thing I got from Craigslist was around 2018, there’s never really anything actually worthwhile now. Don’t really know what’s up with that, but unfortunate I guess.

      As much as I despise facebook, facebook marketplace is still the best for secondhand, along with college buy or sell groups. It comes with its own issues (esp if you are selling) but you actually get secondhand prices for most of everything.
