But it occurs to me that fewer people know how to make these small repairs, so it's likely seconds are more difficult to sell. Store owners see their valuable retail space being used for items that are less likely to sell, and ship them out. I'm not making excuses, of course, just facing the facts. <br />In my family anything needing a repair comes to me. But it amazes me how quickly my students will throw out an item that could easily be fixed simply because there is no one who can make repairs. I've repaired quite few items for students, many of whom cannot afford to replace an item. They are always very grateful and I like teaching them that a needle and thread can save money and help the environment.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.com
