Well, my wife took one of the kids to the thrift shop to buy a pair of pants the other day, and while there she calls me on the phone and says there's an aviation headst for sale there for only $10 in the glass case by the register, and do I want it and should she buy it? I hesitated thinking it was some old broken military unit, possibly a Navy headset used on carriers that would be totally worthless to me, but for only 10 bucks, I can always dump it on ebay...
Look what she comes home with:
A BRAND NEW David Clark H10-13.4, still in the factory wrapping with tags attached.
SCORE!!!
My wife? I think I'll keep her! smile

Nice catch! I never find anything but junk at pawn or thrift shops.

Reminds me of a trip Jeanene and I made to Morocco.

Surrounded by street vendors.

Had a thrift shop and garage sale veteran from Arkansas with us.

The vendors never had a chance. They had a dazed look after she finished dealing with them.
