Are You Creatively Inclined?

Are You Creatively Inclined?

Do you ever see the people who drive around looking for garage sales and yard sales where they can find small treasure troves of items to refurbish? They can completely redo a sofa or even a dining room table. They look for items, such as furniture, to purchase and completely remodeled and turn it into something that looks completely different, trendy, and new and then turn around and sell it for profit. They don’t just buy furniture to refurbish they also make things out of items like window panes, doors, old iron gates, etc. The finished product is typically amazing. These things sell as high dollar items because of the trendy look they get after someone is finished refurbishing. Most people cannot tell that these items were picked up at a garage sale for probably 1/10 of the amount that they sell for. If you are one of these people, then you probably make a pretty decent living or at least have quite a bit of extra cash due to your unique creativity.

Why Refurbish Instead of Buying New?

The answer to this is simple, some people like the old look of these refurbished items. They typically have a uniqueness about them that cannot be bought in the store. This is the main attraction for people who like to have these types of items in their home. Plus, there’s something appealing to the fact that you are eating dinner off of a 65-year-old table as opposed to just going to the store and buying a brand-new one. Refurbished furniture can give your home an entirely new look. It can also help you to obtain the rustic look if that’s what you’re going for. So, there’s definitely a market for these types of items.

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy?

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy? This is the age-old question. Ford or Chevy? Ford lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Chevy, and Chevy lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Ford. Fortunately, this type of mindset is falling by the wayside as the new millennial generation is growing. Many of them do not share the rivalry that their fathers and grandfathers shared between these two makes of pickup trucks. This has a lot to do with the fact that there are many other popular makes and models of pickup trucks such as Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...
