| One of these things is worth more than the other |
After that
post I linked to earlier today (and about 6 hours of listening to land use valuation lectures this weekend) I had a thought (yeah yeah yeah, cheap shots... ok, we done?). Anyway. What are clothes worth? The first thing you learn when you shop at goodwill/salvo/second hand shops, as I have pretty much my entire life, is that the most expensive thing you can buy is something you never wear. Sure those pleather-purple-snakeskin pants are crazy and kind of sweet and only $5! But... honestly? (full disclosure: in high school I purchased a pair of purple pleather snakeskin pants. I still own them. And I
did wear them a few times my freshman year of college, and in some shows, but in any event I know what I'm talking about) If I saw them now I'd get wistful, nostalgic and then pass. There's just no reason for me to own snakeskin pants, no matter how cheap.
