That's nice, what does it report? Cookies? PUP?

That's amazing, it's had years to have its field day. Where is it, please?

You guys understand you have to actively install malware and viruses, right? It's not like on TV with a skull and crossbones appearing on the monitor.

Uh huh, but collecting Blurays is just silly I've been told.

It's a uniparty and it's not there to help you, prole.

Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?

Weird, I thought I added the URL to this post, but I don't see it. So here it is

https://www.friperiedejavu.com/

 

I noticed the "coming soon" sign a while back and now it's open. It's definitely a sense of "déjà vu", it looks pretty much like a Value Village in its layout, prices are the same. Lots of clothes, pots and pans, a few shelves of electronics, and lots of DVDs and VHS. Plus it's a 5 minute walk from the St Jacques Renaissance.

The banhammer is pounded quite randomly over there.

One of the best theme songs ever.

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

 

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

 

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

 

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.

Sure, at step 17 you are certain it's showing ngwt14 but it fails then takes you to an almost twenty year old "identify the motorcycles" with 8 pictures of a partial wheel... or is it a bicycle? And do they mean plural as in for the whole thing or in each image?

Besides Value Village and Renaissance, what stores do you go to, and for what type of goods? I mostly look for physical media, and electronics that I consider valuable.

I haven't found too many other stores yet in Montréal, but there's Friperie Notre-Dame in Lachine. They have decent physical media.

On the other hand there was the Habitat for Humanity Re-store, the one in St-Henri. They sold books and some records. It just went out of business and I can certainly see one reason why: selling donated or trash-picked furniture for as much as twice the price of a new item. Crazy.

I think they got upset at me one day because I saw a 9" Sony Trinitron in perfect condition with no price tag and the cashier just said "five bucks" and I barely had the time to slap a fiver on the counter when the manager came running at Mach 2 but too late.

 

In the last few months I decided to see what I could find on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a matter of luck and persistence but I do find good stuff now and then. Anyone else find missing Blu-rays from combo Blu-ray and DVd sets? Or DVD-Rs instead of pressed? And how do some people manage to scratch their discs so impressively?

 

Haven't seen this street performer in many years. Don't know if it's the same guy, he does look plumper now. In front of St James United March 8 afternoon.
