But buying stuff that people no longer want for a really good price? That's my drug of choice! 😆 I was thrilled when this piece came up recently on Facebook Marketplace for a bargain price and I was able to go and grab it. Check out my new video to find out more about it: Look What I Got For $60 Bucks! 😮...
