We call the indian instruments : The rainstick ( A rainstick is a long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles or beans that has small pins or thorns arranged helically on its inside surface. When the stick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, making a sound reminiscent of rain falling. ) We have them also here in Canada.

Regarding replacement belts for tape players: you can buy a bag of 100 belts on eBay of various sizes / lengths for less than $2 (free shipping). Then you remove the old belt and find one from the bag that is roughly the equivalent length and thickness. I've done this many times without any issues. No reason to spend $20 on a few tiny pieces of rubber.

sometimes you can simply use a rubber band of the right size and thickness. I buy the asssorted rubber bands and often one will work.
@ZachAttackIsBack5 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't suggest using rubber bands unless you just need a temporary fix. The material in rubber bands is not quite the same as in cassette belts, which are designed to last for decades.

I want snow in England. Our climate we don't really get snow like that. After you have been doing it for years like Pete has you know what sells. I am seeing what I can get around these parts. The issue really is we don't have goodwill here, we have charity shops. Many have been raising prices with the digital age as its easier to figure out valuations. The prices flew up over the years. Not saying that's bad but when a charity is trying to make money the prices should be reasonable as well. I always say if charities want to shift stuff, don't hike prices. I have always like the goodwill system as some of them raise for more than one charity :)

I went into Goodwill the other day and have not been there in awhile they have become very good at weeding out the good stuff for themselves and prices are high. To my surprise they raised the price 2 dollars on everything, reduced their color tags sale from two colors to one and really jacked prices up on their so called boutique and electronics. So I spent way to much time in there to find not much worth buying. I did find a DVD VCR Combo they wanted 45 but it was a good one. Plugged it in and it would not turn on, so I gave it to them at the counter. The woman summoned some guy from the back told him it wasn't working and he just took it and put it right back on the shelf. I looked at the woman and said "really?" So what they want is some poor sole to buy it without testing then hey have their money because there are no refunds. She went on to say to me whispering, " I know, it has gotton so bad here we have lost all our regular customers and look at the store "...meaning how loaded to the gill it is. Meaning they are not moving product. I must say it was loaded! There an entire isle of electronic stereo dvd vhs stuff stacked on both sides of the ise. Some with sticker prices close to 200 dollars. Insane. I just cannot waist my time rifling there any more. A quick one two three walk through and only the visible stuff I can spot or look through very quick is about all I can do there anymore. When its 30 dollars for a shirt its time to go!...lol

I'd ask more than you said for it, you can always dicker down. Hand made one of a kind is going to be worth more than the machine made stuff. A lesser machine made one is 30 bucks for one half the size.

My problem is how to do 3 things in a timely manner: taking good pictures, creating the listings and packaging things. I don't have too hard a time sourcing. Also I have a hard time with procrastination and perfectionism because a lot of items I source are more than sellable but often require a bit of cleaning/prep/testing. And because I think I'm not going to be thorough enough or I don't have the right tools on hand to clean or test, I put off doing it for way too long. So, yes I definitely could make $100 a day but because of my inefficiencies, it would probably add up to 12 hours of work. Totally my own fault. I know there's better ways of doing things and the more you do it the better you get. I still work full-time and need to learn how to not be lazy and push through a bit of tiredness after my day job to put in the effort.
