Worst thrift store day ever.
I went to the GW Outlet and walked in as they were changing bins. I walked up to the new bin and there were a beat up pair of Klipsch Hereseys! I scooped them into my cart while reaching over people in an almost super-human feat of strength. I was so excited. Yes, the cabinets were very beat up, and I couldn't test function, but for a buck these were a most worthy project, even if I already have too many projects. They are even the same series as my daily drivers.
I get to checkout only to have my heart broken. The girl tells me that last week corporate came in and put a stop to their "all electronics $.99" pricing. The Hereseys would be by the pound. Okay, they just went from a buck to over $100. I said to her that in a regular GW they likely wouldn't be marked for more than $20. She said "I know". I said to her that I was up for a heavy restoration project for a buck, but that they are far too beat up to justify that price. She said "I know, they will probably sit in the bins for a couple weeks then get pitched into the dumpster when they don't sell". What a shame, especially to a Klipsch lover like myself. For a moment, I was so looking forward to saving them.
