Actually, you’d be surprised what you can find here in Europe.
In Berlin, in my neighborhood, we have a shop called “M99”, a rather typical anarchist/lefty shop. In front of the store, there’s a free box, kind of like a donation box.
Here’s what I’ve found there;
An Armani three-piece suit, charcoal grey (brand new, dry-cleaned).
Bruno Magli shoes (not my size, sad to say, they were like new).
Solomon athletic shoes (they were my size; brand new).
A full-length, vintage, black leather men’s trenchcoat.
Levi’s jeans, D&G jeans, Pierre Cardin jeans, excellent shape.
An Apple iPhone (3g, with charger).
An older IBM ThinkPad T23 (what I’m using right now to write this).
Innumerable books in English.
A Casio Edifice wristwatch (needed battery). In box.
That being said, this baby-making machine could live quite good is she’s careful with her money; I wonder what she’s spending it on.
In my small town, we have three thrift shops filled with designer clothes, sets of dishes and kitchen items small appliances, furniture, toys, all new or in perfect condition.
Cheap, too. Really cheap. I’ve often thought if I ever had to start over, I could do very well.
All you need do is look closely around her eyes to see that.
