As a person who worked in a thrift store, I could never understand why we were throwing away good shit, like microwave oven glass plates.

I would price them and put them out.

The same goes for remotes and power cables and a bunch of things that are needed and essentially, useful items.

I've bought replacement microwave turntables twice from thrift stores and searched the electronic accessory walls for weeks before breaking down and buying a remote for an old tv on line. Thank you for your service.

Pleasure.

why were we throwing certain stuff away when we could either sell the items or use said items to test things?
