0:32
Speaker 4: Very pleasant, good morning to you, Happy Friday to Charleston
0:35
Speaker 4: in the Canall Valley. I'm del Cooper in the WCHS studio.
0:38
Speaker 4: This is where we typically have asked the expert. We
0:40
Speaker 4: do have an expert of sorts and studio with us
0:42
Speaker 4: this morning, like the welcome end of the studio for
0:44
Speaker 4: his semi regular adventures on the airwaves. Here it's Ron Hughes,
0:49
Speaker 4: one of our account executives from the sales department. Are
0:52
Speaker 4: you a senior account executive? I mean by title, yeah,
0:55
Speaker 4: by title and by age. I was not going to
0:58
Speaker 4: go there because everybody, because everybody was giving I wasn't
1:00
Speaker 4: trying to go there. I just wanted to make sure
1:01
Speaker 4: Ron's been here, one of our more senior sales representatives.
1:04
Speaker 4: And I'm not here necessarily to sell you airtime this morning,
1:07
Speaker 4: although if you have questions from more than welcome.
1:08
Speaker 3: To call about that. We're here to talk about WD bargains.
1:11
Speaker 4: If you've been a listener to this station for a
1:13
Speaker 4: long time, this was something that actually started. It's gone
1:16
Speaker 4: through different incarnations Turtle Bids that was previously called, but
1:20
Speaker 4: this thing's been going on forever. And Ron, you told
1:22
Speaker 4: me right before we went on the air, by the way,
1:24
Speaker 4: good morning, thanks for the mid morning. You told me
1:26
Speaker 4: before we went on the air that we're under an
1:28
Speaker 4: anniversary on this one.
1:29
Speaker 5: But yeah, forty years ago, this summer nineteen eighty five,
1:32
Speaker 5: Paul Howard hired a consultant to do something different and
1:37
Speaker 5: unusual and never done before, and it was a radio
1:41
Speaker 5: auction called Action Auction. And the premise then as now
1:46
Speaker 5: as we went to businesses and look for merchandise that
1:50
Speaker 5: maybe they had extra of or they just weren't moving
1:54
Speaker 5: it as fast as they wanted, and we would take
1:57
Speaker 5: it and put it on our auction and sell it
2:00
Speaker 5: to our listeners as a kind of a promotion to
2:05
Speaker 5: help them out and get a bargain. Hence we call
2:08
Speaker 5: it now WV Bargains West Virginia. You know, it's like
2:11
Speaker 5: WVRC Media and our Bargains, So WV Bargains on the
2:15
Speaker 5: Internet gives you a chance to buy things at a
2:19
Speaker 5: ridiculously low rate on a silent auction. Now, when I
2:22
Speaker 5: first started, there were no computers in every home, and
2:25
Speaker 5: not a whole lot of businesses had them. And in fact,
2:28
Speaker 5: I think all four Beatles were still alive back then,
2:31
Speaker 5: or at least when I started in radio. By the
2:33
Speaker 5: time we did this forty years ago nineteen eighty five,
2:37
Speaker 5: we still had to do it live like a call
2:39
Speaker 5: in auction, so we had a real auctioneer. We would
2:43
Speaker 5: tell people month in advance all the items we had
2:46
Speaker 5: and where they were. The listeners would have to go
2:49
Speaker 5: to the stores to look at these items, and then
2:53
Speaker 5: on one magic Day, which was on a Saturday, all
2:56
Speaker 5: day we took phone calls and auctioned these items off
3:00
Speaker 5: off one at a time, hoping people remembered to go
3:03
Speaker 5: look at the items, and they did. We had tons
3:07
Speaker 5: of calls. We sold every item we had at that point,
3:10
Speaker 5: so it just kind of took off, so it's evolved
3:13
Speaker 5: over the years. We have a different consultant. We do
3:16
Speaker 5: it online using a silent auction, so you can get
3:19
Speaker 5: a bargain starting at sixty percent off on things you
3:23
Speaker 5: might use at any one time, you know, throughout your
3:26
Speaker 5: lifetime or every year, and get it at a really
3:29
Speaker 5: good price.
3:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a few points to be made about the
3:32
Speaker 4: process of this, and then we want to get into
3:34
Speaker 4: some of the offerings are here. The interesting thing is
3:36
Speaker 4: is that I think every one of these this is
3:38
Speaker 4: a statewide thing because WRC Media is a statewide company,
3:41
Speaker 4: so this ultimately is a state wee thing. Although you
3:42
Speaker 4: can look by regions, so if you want to look
3:44
Speaker 4: at and support Charleston businesses or whatever, you can do that.
3:47
Speaker 4: But the important thing about this is that these are
3:49
Speaker 4: all local businesses, so we're not contracting anything. And the
3:53
Speaker 4: reason I bring that up, if you're on social media
3:55
Speaker 4: at all anymore, I'm sure you probably are. You've probably
3:58
Speaker 4: seen the same thing I am. Almost every or are
4:00
Speaker 4: so many of the ads that you get anymore for
4:01
Speaker 4: like things that are being drop shipped, and you may
4:03
Speaker 4: not know what drop shipping as or know what it is,
4:04
Speaker 4: but when you see the little gadget. There's like a
4:07
Speaker 4: thirty second video of that's coming up in your social
4:09
Speaker 4: media feeds, like, oh, look at this neat thing that
4:10
Speaker 4: you can do when you fold it over and you're
4:11
Speaker 4: running under the scenk and it does all these things.
4:13
Speaker 4: It's like, wow, what that is is it's a company
4:16
Speaker 4: that's paying for the advertisement.
4:17
Speaker 3: You're buying it.
4:18
Speaker 4: They're sending it what's called a drop ship company that
4:20
Speaker 4: offers these products to anybody and they can brand it
4:23
Speaker 4: however they want to. And then you're sending it off
4:24
Speaker 4: to another country and they're sending it to your back here.
4:26
Speaker 4: The product may or may not work. Who knows, you know,
4:28
Speaker 4: it's not there the ad on Twitter or whatever you're
4:32
Speaker 4: looking at as a pass through. These people have no
4:33
Speaker 4: idea what it is that you're buying. It's a drop shipment.
4:36
Speaker 4: It's a sterile kind of rolling the dice kind of
4:39
Speaker 4: environment because you're getting something for a good value. Here,
4:42
Speaker 4: you get something for a good value, and you're buying
4:44
Speaker 4: completely local from people. You're not sending money across the world.
4:48
Speaker 4: You're not getting it from another country, I mean at
4:50
Speaker 4: least not from the product itself. These are all local
4:52
Speaker 4: businesses that do business with our radio stations. So I
4:55
Speaker 4: mean it's a huge difference from this stuff that you
4:56
Speaker 4: see online the stage.
4:58
Speaker 5: This is a legitimate auction with legitimate local businesses that
5:02
Speaker 5: have been you know, some of them are fairly new businesses.
5:05
Speaker 5: Some of them have been around I don't know, sixty
5:08
Speaker 5: seventy eighty years. Gravely tractor and lawn equipment, you know,
5:12
Speaker 5: they started in Dunbar, I think over one hundred years ago.
5:15
Speaker 5: And other businesses that have that have been around a
5:19
Speaker 5: while that like running boards and more in spring Hill,
5:23
Speaker 5: you know, fairly newer business you know. And of course
5:26
Speaker 5: now we have tattoos and you know, stuff that didn't exist.
5:29
Speaker 4: And it's just a few couple of things that you've
5:31
Speaker 4: talked about here. With regards of what your lifestyle is.
5:33
Speaker 4: This isn't something you could go to and you're going
5:35
Speaker 4: to search for something very specific, like you're looking for
5:37
Speaker 4: a widget for your kitchen that you know, maybe it's
5:40
Speaker 4: on here, but probably not for something highly specific, right,
5:43
Speaker 4: but for things that are useful that you're looking for
5:46
Speaker 4: from day to day lifestyle thing. Anything from like you
5:48
Speaker 4: talked about a tattoos sleeve. There there's we always have
5:52
Speaker 4: the the education for long haul trucking and council and
5:56
Speaker 4: they're from doing County. I mean those are think of
5:58
Speaker 4: how diverse those who things are, you know, I mean
6:01
Speaker 4: those are two completely different ends of the spectrums. You're
6:03
Speaker 4: talking about running boards. We have motorcycles, we have much stoves,
6:06
Speaker 4: electric cars, wood stoves.
6:07
Speaker 5: There's memberships like to try County YMCA and tays Valley.
6:12
Speaker 3: Think about how valuable.
6:13
Speaker 4: I mean, again, this is one of those things you're
6:15
Speaker 4: likely to stumble across instead of coming across something that
6:18
Speaker 4: you see that's need on social media. It's like, oh
6:19
Speaker 4: maybe I could use that. This is more likely that
6:21
Speaker 4: you're going to come across something saying oh that's something
6:24
Speaker 4: that I could really use. Now, you know it's it's
6:26
Speaker 4: it's kind of a subtle difference. But taking a look
6:29
Speaker 4: at the when you go to the site, I want
6:30
Speaker 4: to give you some basic constructions on how this thing
6:32
Speaker 4: works and we can talk about the products. You go
6:34
Speaker 4: to WV bargains dot com. That'll take you over to
6:36
Speaker 4: the site. There's a nice little layout on all of
6:38
Speaker 4: the different regions that we have, so you can take
6:40
Speaker 4: a look at the regions. You can also look at
6:42
Speaker 4: the broad categories and and and when you see the categories,
6:45
Speaker 4: it's really worthwhile to look through those because you know
6:48
Speaker 4: there's only so many categories, and so sometimes you have
6:50
Speaker 4: to put things in the best place that they fit.
6:52
Speaker 4: So just look through all of those. We have featured items,
6:54
Speaker 4: and a lot of those featured items, those will be
6:56
Speaker 4: rotating in and out up there, but we're going to
6:57
Speaker 4: be really highlighting stuff that are for exceptional disc something
7:00
Speaker 4: that's that's really standing out right now.
7:02
Speaker 3: And something may be a great too too.
7:04
Speaker 5: Something may be a great discount, but you might have
7:06
Speaker 5: to drive to Beckley to get it. Yeah, right, right right,
7:08
Speaker 5: exactly sixty percent off. I think I might drive to
7:10
Speaker 5: Clarksburg or someplace like Morgantown.
7:13
Speaker 4: There's an electric motorcycle in here as one of our
7:16
Speaker 4: featured auction items right now. That's a twenty twenty four
7:19
Speaker 4: Kawasaki Z seven hybrid and that thing retails for about
7:24
Speaker 4: twelve five twelve five right right now, the starting bid
7:29
Speaker 4: is five to six six hundred dollars. If you're in
7:32
Speaker 4: the market for a motorcycle, that is a really big deal.
7:36
Speaker 4: That's that I mean, it's sixty percent off, but I
7:38
Speaker 4: mean sixty percent off of twelve five hundred dollars is
7:42
Speaker 4: a big chunk of money that you're getting off.
7:44
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely. Also, if you look at our featured items,
7:48
Speaker 5: and you can look along with us if you want
7:49
Speaker 5: to go to even you could even go use the
7:52
Speaker 5: old name which everybody, a lot of people knew it
7:54
Speaker 5: as Turtle Bids if you haven't done it lately, it's
7:56
Speaker 5: now wb bargains dot com. But there's an electric coup
8:01
Speaker 5: from nas and it looks like a smart car should
8:05
Speaker 5: go for ninety nine hundred dollars, but you can get
8:09
Speaker 5: it for like thirty nine to seventy.
8:12
Speaker 3: And it's a four thousand dollars car. You know.
8:14
Speaker 4: Larry Dawson is on here every Wednesday. And one of
8:15
Speaker 4: the things we've lamented over the years is the fact
8:17
Speaker 4: that the affordable car is out the window, like the
8:20
Speaker 4: the the gently used affordable car has been out the window. Well,
8:24
Speaker 4: here's a brand new.
8:25
Speaker 5: Car twenty twenty four for four grand, right, I mean
8:28
Speaker 5: that's or less than four cars. It's got alloy wheels,
8:31
Speaker 5: reverse camera, it's a thirty mile range. I mean it's
8:34
Speaker 5: it's a little bigger than a golf car.
8:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's small but it's covered and if
8:38
Speaker 4: you're just looking for mallage around town, it's perfect for
8:43
Speaker 4: something along those lines.
8:43
Speaker 5: It's absolutely perfect. But you can go and look at
8:46
Speaker 5: Charleston items only if you really don't think you want
8:48
Speaker 5: to buy something and then drive to go get it,
8:51
Speaker 5: or you can look at the items by like like
8:55
Speaker 5: Coop said, by category. You know, there's like home and
8:58
Speaker 5: garden and so forth, automotive related entertainment. But I mean,
9:03
Speaker 5: I think that sewing machine is is a pretty neat
9:07
Speaker 5: deal there.
9:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was going to say, you know, when
9:09
Speaker 4: you again, you may not always think about like if
9:12
Speaker 4: you're somebody that sews, or knows that somebody that sews,
9:14
Speaker 4: it may not even be something that you think about
9:16
Speaker 4: all the time. All I wonder if it's a bargain
9:17
Speaker 4: on a sewing machine somewhere, you know, because it's not
9:19
Speaker 4: something we think about all the time anymore. But when
9:21
Speaker 4: you come here, there's a Brother sewing machine. It's a
9:23
Speaker 4: it's a modern version of one. I can't really tell.
9:25
Speaker 3: It's all over brand.
9:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a Brother brand. It's a modern version computerized exactly.
9:29
Speaker 4: Whatever that means. You probably have an app. Maybe it
9:31
Speaker 4: does it for you who knows what it probably has.
9:33
Speaker 5: It has programs, I'm sure, like memory of stitches and
9:36
Speaker 5: so forth.
9:37
Speaker 4: Like I wonder if you could program in like patterns
9:39
Speaker 4: and stuff. Anyway, you can figure that stuff out in yourself.
9:41
Speaker 4: It's seven hundred dollars that retails for and it's two
9:43
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty dollars right now at the starting bid.
9:45
Speaker 4: Absolutely these things and something that kind of caught my
9:48
Speaker 4: attention too, because again in uh, whenever you're looking for things,
9:53
Speaker 4: I just bought a new vacuum a couple months ago,
9:55
Speaker 4: and I was looking around at different things and different
9:57
Speaker 4: reviews and stuff like that. And if you want to
9:59
Speaker 4: get a real value and not just something that costs,
10:01
Speaker 4: you know, eighty bucks at the department store that will
10:03
Speaker 4: maybe last for a year or so, and maybe get
10:05
Speaker 4: that dog hair and the corners and stuff like that.
10:07
Speaker 4: You can get anything. But if you're one to invest
10:09
Speaker 4: in something that's going to help with allergies and really
10:11
Speaker 4: get up the dust and really get the places you
10:13
Speaker 4: have to invest a little bit of money. There's a
10:15
Speaker 4: simplicity allergy upright vacuum that's on here now. It's a
10:18
Speaker 4: four hundred dollars retail value. You can get it for
10:21
Speaker 4: more of the modest department store price of one hundred
10:23
Speaker 4: and sixty bucks. That's more like a modest vacuum instead
10:26
Speaker 4: of something that's that's elite.
10:27
Speaker 5: That's a better sale than you you get at any
10:29
Speaker 5: department store when they put things on sale. Now, we're
10:33
Speaker 5: kind of tantalizing you at this point, and I apologize,
10:35
Speaker 5: but you can't start to bid on these things until June. Second,
10:38
Speaker 5: that's right, So next, this is a preview a week
10:41
Speaker 5: from this coming Tuesday, or this is coming Monday.
10:44
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, a week from Monday, right right, you.
10:46
Speaker 5: Can start bidding on that, but it doesn't hurt to
10:48
Speaker 5: look and kind of get an idea of what you
10:50
Speaker 5: want to take a look.
10:51
Speaker 4: At and if and if from the folks that we've
10:54
Speaker 4: when we've talked in the past. One of the most
10:55
Speaker 4: popular things, and this is the one that I've gotten
10:58
Speaker 4: the most myself, that I've paid money for, and that's
11:00
Speaker 4: Eddie Tires and Service. They offer a five hundred dollars
11:03
Speaker 4: retail certificate that you can start off about getting at
11:06
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars. You often get these great deals and
11:08
Speaker 4: if you're somebody that needs new set of tires, get
11:11
Speaker 4: your oil change, inspection, all those things that you can
11:13
Speaker 4: get done once a year. You can because Eddie's Tires
11:16
Speaker 4: always does this. You can buy your certificates through here,
11:18
Speaker 4: get everything you need and taken over there at an
11:20
Speaker 4: incredible discount. They do great they do great work. That's
11:23
Speaker 4: where I get my new tires, the alignments that I
11:25
Speaker 4: need and and my inspections and stuff. And usually it's
11:28
Speaker 4: after I have body because that's the one thing does
11:31
Speaker 4: it's such a great deal. I get these every year.
11:33
Speaker 5: Well, I hope we're not competing against each other because
11:35
Speaker 5: I remember I've bought one in the past, the.
11:37
Speaker 3: Guy that drives it up a little bit. There's a
11:39
Speaker 3: lot of them.
11:39
Speaker 5: There's a bunch of them on here. You can go
11:41
Speaker 5: back and and somebody started to bed on one. You
11:45
Speaker 5: can go to another one and start.
11:47
Speaker 4: A bid exactly. But they're great, they're great deals. And
11:49
Speaker 4: that's just one of the things that's like a convenience
11:51
Speaker 4: thing that helps you out with that. And then I
11:53
Speaker 4: almost got this from my wife last year. But there's
11:55
Speaker 4: like even full car tents and my wife's huge on
11:57
Speaker 4: car tens. Her car right now doesn't have one. And
12:00
Speaker 4: I held off last year but I think I might
12:02
Speaker 4: get it for this year and get it for her
12:04
Speaker 4: birthday because that's a nice thing as well.
12:06
Speaker 5: This is professional tinting right here. I mean, it's one
12:08
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars value, and you could get it
12:12
Speaker 5: for as little as what sixty dollars if you you know,
12:16
Speaker 5: if you get there early. And there's a couple of
12:18
Speaker 5: those two. But that is something that we've had for
12:24
Speaker 5: years with this auction, and it does. It sells out
12:27
Speaker 5: every time. It's from the tent guy in Nitro exactly. Yeah,
12:30
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just something that we always have.
12:33
Speaker 4: It's something that we always have one here and they
12:34
Speaker 4: are extraordinarily popular at all given times. By the way,
12:37
Speaker 4: if you have any questions, or maybe you've bought something
12:38
Speaker 4: in the past on turtle bids or WV bargains and
12:41
Speaker 4: you want to talk about you're welcome to give as
12:42
Speaker 4: a call this morning if you want three zero four,
12:44
Speaker 4: three four five fifty eight fifty eight, or if you
12:46
Speaker 4: have any questions about this. We're just kind of talking
12:47
Speaker 4: about the different things that go along, different things you
12:49
Speaker 4: can find. We were talking about the history of it
12:51
Speaker 4: and sort of the process of how it works, and
12:53
Speaker 4: I kind of laid out my lamentations against all of
12:57
Speaker 4: these ads that we see anymore, for all this junk
12:58
Speaker 4: that gets pushed into your social media, that are these
13:01
Speaker 4: drop shift items from other countries that are just oftentimes
13:05
Speaker 4: just junk items. Even if you get them for a
13:07
Speaker 4: pretty decent price, you fall for the easy video and
13:10
Speaker 4: you might be thinking, well, okay, you explain to us
13:12
Speaker 4: what this thing is. But at sixty percent off, there
13:14
Speaker 4: has to be a catch somewhere, And all I have
13:15
Speaker 4: to tell you is, don't you worry about it.
13:17
Speaker 3: The catch is between us and the folks.
13:19
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I'll admit it. We're taking the loss on it. Yeah,
13:22
Speaker 5: I mean we are taking the loss because it's a
13:25
Speaker 5: valuable promotion. We want to engage with our listeners, We
13:27
Speaker 5: want our business partners to engage with you, the listener,
13:31
Speaker 5: and we want to make it fun. And any kind
13:33
Speaker 5: of business promotion is going to cost us money. I mean,
13:36
Speaker 5: that's just the nature.
13:37
Speaker 4: We're giving one of our more valuable things to a
13:40
Speaker 4: client in exchange for these goods that we can then
13:43
Speaker 4: turn around and offer at a bargain, and they can
13:45
Speaker 4: offer it a bargain for our listeners, So we pay
13:47
Speaker 4: for that premium, not you. And that's not a if
13:50
Speaker 4: there's not a any hidden fees in there, that's just
13:53
Speaker 4: the truth. We do this to put on the promotion
13:55
Speaker 4: and we eat that cost basically to give you the
13:58
Speaker 4: the the discount on it so you don't wait for
14:01
Speaker 4: the other shoot to drop. You're not going to get
14:02
Speaker 4: a twenty percent increase somewhere. You're not going to see
14:05
Speaker 4: a processing fee for three hundred dollars. It's going to
14:07
Speaker 4: make good on what the actual retail of the value
14:09
Speaker 4: of the thing is going to be. None of that stuff.
14:10
Speaker 4: This is legit.
14:11
Speaker 5: I think with some of the taxes involved on the vehicles.
14:14
Speaker 5: Buying a car, you would expect.
14:15
Speaker 3: That the normal stuff is worth that goes.
14:17
Speaker 5: You know, that's something we can't avoid because of the government.
14:20
Speaker 5: But I will let you know. There are some new
14:21
Speaker 5: things that have never been in here before.
14:23
Speaker 3: What are they. I haven't looked at the entire site yet.
14:25
Speaker 5: From running boards and more they have running boards, obviously,
14:29
Speaker 5: Tanno covers, bedliners. I have about twenty five thousand dollars
14:33
Speaker 5: worth of stuff that are in that category of running boards,
14:38
Speaker 5: factory style running boards for Silverado's for f one to
14:41
Speaker 5: fifties for Rams. I've got Nerf bars for Ford Rangers
14:48
Speaker 5: from Rams. You just can't believe the huge amount of stuff.
14:53
Speaker 5: Twenty five thousand dollars worth of accessories for a truck.
14:57
Speaker 3: Wow, there's about that.
14:58
Speaker 5: There's a lot of stuff. There are pages on pages stuff.
15:01
Speaker 4: Now with girlfriends, wives out there. I don't want to
15:03
Speaker 4: tell you what to do, but if you're thinking about
15:05
Speaker 4: something for Father's Day or for Christmas, and you're well,
15:08
Speaker 4: somebody likes to buy early, think about all the things
15:11
Speaker 4: you could get your your loved one to trick out
15:14
Speaker 4: or men who have women that love trucks. I mean,
15:15
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter to me, but just think about all
15:17
Speaker 4: of the things that you could get, the accessories that
15:20
Speaker 4: maybe you couldn't get it to time for the deluxe package,
15:22
Speaker 4: or things that you've seen your brother have on his
15:25
Speaker 4: truck that you want to have. I mean, this is
15:26
Speaker 4: your opportunity to really kind of trick out your your
15:29
Speaker 4: your ride.
15:30
Speaker 3: If you're right.
15:30
Speaker 5: And some of these, you know, are eight hundred dollars
15:32
Speaker 5: six hundred dollars a piece, you're getting them at sixty
15:36
Speaker 5: percent off starting out, So.
15:38
Speaker 4: Just imagine being able to give that to your to
15:40
Speaker 4: your truck lov and significant other if they're looking to
15:44
Speaker 4: elevate their truck games just a little bit, because I
15:45
Speaker 4: mean in this area everybody has their truck. You know,
15:47
Speaker 4: there's a bit of a there's always useful things, not
15:51
Speaker 4: only just decord of things, but useful things that you
15:53
Speaker 4: can do to upgrade your upgrade your trucks and.
15:55
Speaker 3: Things like that.
15:56
Speaker 5: Now swinging around one hundred and eighty degrees, there's jewelry
16:00
Speaker 5: coming from again from a repeat participant, Pettit Jewelers up
16:05
Speaker 5: in Jewelry up in South Hills. They have a two
16:09
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars gift certificate for any item in
16:12
Speaker 5: the store. They also have a five hundred dollars gift
16:16
Speaker 5: certificate for any item in the store that includes you know, rings, bracelets, necklaces,
16:21
Speaker 5: diamonds and so forth. So I was going to say,
16:24
Speaker 5: and we have a new participant, Thomas Jewelers over in
16:28
Speaker 5: Kano City. That's oh yeah, McCormick Jewelers. Yeah, nighbers to you.
16:33
Speaker 5: But they have a couple of pieces. They have a
16:37
Speaker 5: diamond pendant and some diamond ear rings. So I think
16:41
Speaker 5: the diamond pendant usually goes for a thousand, So you're
16:44
Speaker 5: going to be able to get that at sixty percent off.
16:46
Speaker 5: And same thing with the with the ear rings. I
16:48
Speaker 5: think they're about five hundred, so you get those at
16:50
Speaker 5: sixty starting at sixty percent off.
16:52
Speaker 4: So if we were talking to maybe the ladies a
16:54
Speaker 4: few minutes ago and their men that love trucks men
16:57
Speaker 4: or ladies that have men in their lives that love
16:59
Speaker 4: diamond or however that situation works. You know, they tell
17:02
Speaker 4: the guys that wear diamond nice rings or something, or
17:04
Speaker 4: maybe they have that state championship ring they need that
17:07
Speaker 4: needs to be resized now like maybe you know they
17:10
Speaker 4: like telling stories down every Saturday night at at karaoke
17:13
Speaker 4: and they need to have that state championship ring resized.
17:15
Speaker 3: You know, whatever you need to do there.
17:17
Speaker 4: But in all honesty, if you're looking to get a
17:19
Speaker 4: a nice piece of jewelry for for your loved one,
17:22
Speaker 4: and maybe you've you've had a little barriers. It's tough times,
17:25
Speaker 4: you had a little bit of barriers, or maybe you're
17:27
Speaker 4: saving up for that engagement ring. When we're talking about
17:29
Speaker 4: getting gift certificates for for any item where you can
17:33
Speaker 4: just get uh for wes, same as clash. If you've
17:35
Speaker 4: been saving up and you're doing the thing like the
17:36
Speaker 4: three months, maybe you just shave a month off that salary.
17:38
Speaker 4: You know, if you can get it for sixty percent off,
17:41
Speaker 4: you can you can pop the question a little earlier,
17:42
Speaker 4: you know.
17:43
Speaker 5: Well with with Pettitt, it is a certificate to pick
17:45
Speaker 5: your own thing now at Thomas Jewelers. That's these specific
17:48
Speaker 5: These are specific pieces and they will be up. They
17:50
Speaker 5: will be up. You can see them when they're ready.
17:52
Speaker 5: I don't think they're up yet, but they are. I've
17:55
Speaker 5: seen them. They're they're beautiful. So if you have a
17:58
Speaker 5: mostly ladies, I think we by the pendent. You know,
18:01
Speaker 5: so we have a lady that would like to have
18:03
Speaker 5: a piece of jewelry that kind of makes you look
18:06
Speaker 5: good for having bought it. You know, this might be right,
18:09
Speaker 5: and nobody knows it has to know you got it
18:11
Speaker 5: at such a such a wild discount.
18:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can tell.
18:14
Speaker 4: You can tell your closest friends that you got at
18:16
Speaker 4: it for a while discount.
18:17
Speaker 3: But the people you want to brag exactly.
18:20
Speaker 5: But if you want to have other people that you
18:21
Speaker 5: want to impress, like, hey, here's what I can do, right,
18:24
Speaker 5: look off frugal iron. Now there's all as usual, there's
18:27
Speaker 5: a lot of swimming items, you know. I think we
18:32
Speaker 5: have the wave pool in here every year from down
18:35
Speaker 5: in Tays Valley and Hurricane, and there's also City of
18:39
Speaker 5: Saint Albans City Pool as season passes as well. So
18:44
Speaker 5: if if you want to be fit, there are opportunities
18:47
Speaker 5: here to be fit for for pools, for the y
18:49
Speaker 5: M c A and Tays Valley, for gym memberships. But
18:53
Speaker 5: there's also something we've never done before. I don't think
18:55
Speaker 5: we've done it forever and forever. Maybe we did it
18:59
Speaker 5: ten or twenty years ago, but we have dance classes
19:02
Speaker 5: for kids or adults. But you know how dance classes
19:06
Speaker 5: usually start in the fall, they go through the spring
19:08
Speaker 5: and they have a recital. We have one like that
19:11
Speaker 5: from Saint Alban's Studio of Dance. Never done one like
19:14
Speaker 5: that before. It's a one year class for dance. Choose
19:18
Speaker 5: from ballet, tap, jazz, modern lyrical. They have technique classes
19:22
Speaker 5: adult tap. This is an award winning studio and if
19:26
Speaker 5: you ever watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, this is
19:29
Speaker 5: the one that's on TV every year from Saint Alban's.
19:32
Speaker 5: They always go to Macy's Thanksgivings Day Parade. They're repeat
19:36
Speaker 5: national champions. So you know, one of these classes, you know,
19:41
Speaker 5: with all the activities that I mentioned, usually it's about
19:44
Speaker 5: fifteen hundred dollars, you're going to be able to get
19:46
Speaker 5: that class for your student or yourself for about sixty percent.
19:51
Speaker 3: Off man every one of these.
19:53
Speaker 4: And I'm thinking, I have a young daughter and this
19:56
Speaker 4: is something that we're looking to get her into as
19:58
Speaker 4: far as dance for gymnational she has to choose. But again,
20:02
Speaker 4: sometimes the cost is a barrier for these things. You know,
20:04
Speaker 4: when you have an up, up and coming family, be
20:06
Speaker 4: able to get something for significantly under discount, Yeah, exactly
20:10
Speaker 4: is that's a huge difference. So it makes a huge
20:12
Speaker 4: difference to moms and dad that are trying to get
20:13
Speaker 4: stuff like this.
20:14
Speaker 3: Done, right.
20:15
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's one we've never done before. But
20:17
Speaker 5: I know that's there's a lot of dance studios around town.
20:20
Speaker 5: I noticed, you know, all their parking lots seems to
20:23
Speaker 5: be full. That is something that people do a lot of,
20:26
Speaker 5: you know, with with kids, and it gives them something
20:28
Speaker 5: to do but also improves their you know, their hand
20:31
Speaker 5: eye coordination, the fitness and so forth, and their and
20:33
Speaker 5: their self confidence.
20:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's absolutely very true.
20:36
Speaker 4: You're listening to Ask the Expert this morning, having a
20:38
Speaker 4: special special show this morning giving you a preview of
20:41
Speaker 4: WV Bargains, which is going to be going live a
20:43
Speaker 4: week from Memorial Day, a week from Monday, so we're
20:45
Speaker 4: still ten days or so away. This is a little
20:47
Speaker 4: bit of a teaser show, but we're just trying to
20:49
Speaker 4: give you an idea of what to expect on WV Bargains.
20:52
Speaker 4: You have a week to make the bids once once
20:54
Speaker 4: it goes live on on Monday the second, and is
20:57
Speaker 4: that we have Monday the second, and then at Friday,
21:00
Speaker 4: five o'clock of that week is when the bids will close.
21:02
Speaker 4: And so you have that week to kind of keep
21:04
Speaker 4: my eye on things. And when you sign up for
21:06
Speaker 4: your account and make bids, I think you can choose
21:08
Speaker 4: to be notified if somebody outbids you and stuff like that,
21:10
Speaker 4: so you can go by and take a look at
21:12
Speaker 4: it and see if you want to continue the bidding
21:13
Speaker 4: on it. But that's something that it's going to go
21:15
Speaker 4: live on the second. You can go and create an
21:16
Speaker 4: account now, so if you wanted to, you can go
21:18
Speaker 4: to WV turtle Bids dot com or I'm sorry WV
21:21
Speaker 4: barheads dot com and you can go ahead and create
21:24
Speaker 4: an account to get ready, so then when we go
21:25
Speaker 4: live on the second, you'll be ready to bid and
21:27
Speaker 4: set things up and take a look at everything we have.
21:29
Speaker 4: I encourage you to go take a look at least
21:31
Speaker 4: at the things that are over there right now, because
21:32
Speaker 4: there's a lot of different things that you might want
21:34
Speaker 4: to keep your eye on, either for yourself, you give
21:36
Speaker 4: yourself a gift, nothing wrong with that, get for the
21:38
Speaker 4: loved ones, or just stuff you need around the house.
21:40
Speaker 4: There's tons of stuff here and maybe we'll touch on
21:42
Speaker 4: some of those things when we come back. Some things
21:43
Speaker 4: you might just need around the house. Need a fireplace,
21:46
Speaker 4: we gott avoid wood burning stove.
21:47

25:04
Speaker 4: ADWHS this morning. I'm del Cooper. Ron Hughes is in
25:07
Speaker 4: studio with me this morning. Sales executive extraordinary here at
25:11
Speaker 4: the radio station, and Ron's been out hustling, hitting the streets.
25:14
Speaker 4: We've he's been helping to populate our WV Bargain site,
25:18
Speaker 4: which is going to go live on the second, a
25:20
Speaker 4: week from Monday, and we have tons and tons and
25:23
Speaker 4: tons hundreds of great bargains on here from.
25:25
Speaker 3: Throughout the state.
25:26
Speaker 4: We've been highlighting a little bit of some of our
25:28
Speaker 4: Charleston clients and some of the great things that they'll
25:30
Speaker 4: be giving away, anything from tattoo sleeves to car tents
25:33
Speaker 4: to well, we didn't talk about some of the household
25:35
Speaker 4: items that will be in there, but one of the
25:37
Speaker 4: things that's in here that I think it's pretty interesting anyway,
25:39
Speaker 4: is there's a wood stove. Now, I had somebody in
25:41
Speaker 4: my family just a couple of years ago that was
25:43
Speaker 4: in the market to get.
25:44
Speaker 3: A new wood stove.
25:46
Speaker 4: And it's not that it's difficult to shop for anything
25:49
Speaker 4: like that, but it's one of those things, like anything,
25:51
Speaker 4: until you start shopping, you don't know just how somewhat
25:54
Speaker 4: complicated and nuanced all of the options and things along
25:57
Speaker 4: those lines are, nor the price of these things. It's
26:00
Speaker 4: a brand new wood stove. You could look in the
26:02
Speaker 4: range of three to five thousand dollars for these things,
26:04
Speaker 4: they're pretty expensive.
26:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, there are several price points with that. Wood stoves
26:08
Speaker 5: and gas stoves, so what you've seen so far, and
26:13
Speaker 5: we usually have stoves every time. But there's a Meridian
26:17
Speaker 5: Platinum thirty six inch fireplace by Majestic which has a
26:21
Speaker 5: top and rear direct vent. It's like forty eight hundred dollars,
26:24
Speaker 5: so you're going to save several thousand. Find that on
26:28
Speaker 5: the auction. There's also like simple gas log sets twenty
26:31
Speaker 5: four inch gas or natural gas or propane. You know,
26:36
Speaker 5: it's got an electronic ignition pilot, so it's yeah, it
26:39
Speaker 5: warms and it's for show, but starts out at two thousand.
26:42
Speaker 5: You can get it for sixty percent off.
26:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when you think about something like that, if
26:48
Speaker 4: you're remodeling a portion of your house, or if you're
26:51
Speaker 4: replacing a stove or something like this, sometimes timing is everything,
26:54
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, maybe this time three months ago
26:56
Speaker 4: you weren't looking for a wood stove. Maybe in three
26:58
Speaker 4: months from now, you're not looking for woodto but you're
27:00
Speaker 4: redoing the part of your house that needs one now.
27:03
Speaker 4: Man Providence sometimes plays King you know, I mean, this
27:06
Speaker 4: is a great opportunity to maybe get that piece that
27:08
Speaker 4: you need at a discount and save a little bit
27:10
Speaker 4: off your budget for rebodel.
27:12
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean, if you could get sixty percent off
27:14
Speaker 5: a forty eight hundred dollars fireplace or Pacific Energy super
27:19
Speaker 5: wood stove, that's attractive. Yeah, you're looking at that one
27:23
Speaker 5: on the screen. You know it's pedestal with a black
27:25
Speaker 5: door and it's got extended burn technology baffle system twenty
27:30
Speaker 5: nine hundred and fifty eight dollars. So you're going to
27:33
Speaker 5: get that for let's see three, you know, quite a
27:36
Speaker 5: bit off. Sixty percent off I think would get it
27:40
Speaker 5: for you for three six nine twelve hundred dollars. Yeah,
27:44
Speaker 5: right around that three three thousand dollars stove for about
27:47
Speaker 5: twelve hundred bucks.
27:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's there are great deals that with any sort
27:51
Speaker 4: of walk in your life, you can find things that
27:53
Speaker 4: are in here. And I know that it's a little
27:54
Speaker 4: bit scattershot. We're trying to give you ideas of all
27:57
Speaker 4: the different things that are in here. Another thing I
27:59
Speaker 4: just wanted because I just now and I want to
28:00
Speaker 4: give them a shout out. My friends over at Elk
28:02
Speaker 4: City at the auto detailing place. That's where I take mine.
28:07
Speaker 4: Every single time I've had in my car detailed over there,
28:10
Speaker 4: I think three times in the last three years. I've
28:12
Speaker 4: taken one a year just and frankly, they do such
28:15
Speaker 4: a good job. As long as you're not a slob,
28:17
Speaker 4: that's really all you need. I take it in once
28:19
Speaker 4: a year. I get a pristine as close to new
28:21
Speaker 4: as possible. Then I take care of my car over
28:23
Speaker 4: the next year, and my car always looks pretty nice. Frankly,
28:26
Speaker 4: they do a great job, man. They get all the
28:28
Speaker 4: little you know, they'll they'll loosen up your seats and
28:30
Speaker 4: raise them up a little bit. If they need to
28:32
Speaker 4: get underneath there. They make sure to get the roof,
28:34
Speaker 4: you know. That's something that a lot of places miss,
28:36
Speaker 4: is cleaning the top part of your lining. They make
28:39
Speaker 4: sure to get that. If you need to put some
28:41
Speaker 4: biochemical stuff in there to get rid of some dog
28:43
Speaker 4: smell or smoke smell or something, they can help you.
28:46
Speaker 3: With that as well. They do just such a great
28:47
Speaker 3: job over there.
28:48
Speaker 5: That's kind of place you take your car too when
28:49
Speaker 5: you want the Q tip treatment, where they get you know,
28:51
Speaker 5: if it's a tight spot that you still see dirt
28:53
Speaker 5: in there.
28:54
Speaker 4: They'll take it literally, those little places like on your
28:56
Speaker 4: console where you shift gears or something a little they
28:59
Speaker 4: get the little area in there the perfect place to
29:01
Speaker 4: take your vehicle. Frankly, if you're looking to resell it
29:03
Speaker 4: to like you, if you're putting it on the market,
29:05
Speaker 4: either you're on a trade it in or you're trying
29:07
Speaker 4: to sell it for cash or something for for not
29:10
Speaker 4: even at retail costs, it's not that big of an investment,
29:12
Speaker 4: but at the cost that you can get it for
29:14
Speaker 4: on WV bargains where you know this saying the deluxe
29:17
Speaker 4: deal is is a few hundred dollars cost you can
29:21
Speaker 4: get it for two hundred dollars. Invest that in your
29:23
Speaker 4: car before you sell it, and then when somebody comes
29:25
Speaker 4: to take a look at your car, or you take
29:26
Speaker 4: it in for a trade in, it's going to look
29:28
Speaker 4: at its most pristine level when you do that.
29:31
Speaker 5: And this he does a great, great job. I've known
29:34
Speaker 5: him for several years. Something that a lot of people do.
29:38
Speaker 5: I know with my grandkids, they have these inflatable party
29:41
Speaker 5: rentals sometimes at their house, and you know the bounty
29:44
Speaker 5: houses and you know the slides and things like that.
29:47
Speaker 5: That are inflatable. Quantum Party Rentals has a five hundred
29:51
Speaker 5: dollars gift certificate. I've seen my kids spend close to
29:55
Speaker 5: that paying for full price for party rentals, So you
29:58
Speaker 5: can get that for a little was two hundred dollars
30:01
Speaker 5: in the auction. Now we don't have I have to
30:04
Speaker 5: give you a caveat here. We don't have everything up
30:07
Speaker 5: yet that you can preview. But by the end of
30:09
Speaker 5: next week you will be able to see everything and
30:10
Speaker 5: preview it.
30:12
Speaker 4: And again, I just I didn't even see this one
30:14
Speaker 4: here before, but there's there's an I wave air ionization system.
30:18
Speaker 4: I was looking at what this thing was because I
30:19
Speaker 4: had suspicion, and indeed, this is one of those air
30:22
Speaker 4: purification systems you put in your ducks. I've done shows
30:26
Speaker 4: on this before with folks that did heating and cooling
30:28
Speaker 4: and duct.
30:29
Speaker 3: Working and stuff. So this is a inside the dust.
30:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you put this ionization system in your ducks
30:33
Speaker 4: as your air is being pushed throughout your home. This
30:36
Speaker 4: actually helps remove particles from your air and really gives
30:38
Speaker 4: you that ionization air, you know, the very clean air
30:42
Speaker 4: from allergens and stuff. This thing's gonna sell right now.
30:44
Speaker 4: I knew that this was like one thousand dollars upgrade
30:47
Speaker 4: to your HVAC system. That thing at sixty percent off
30:51
Speaker 4: is under four hundred dollars. I mean, that thing is
30:52
Speaker 4: awesome for folks that suffers from allergies and stuff like that.
30:55
Speaker 4: I've done shows on that before, so that just something
30:57
Speaker 4: random that you run across on there. I got kind
30:59
Speaker 4: of excited when I said, is that really one of
31:01
Speaker 4: those things.
31:01
Speaker 5: That kind of takes some pressure off of your air
31:04
Speaker 5: filter too exactly?
31:05
Speaker 4: And it helps and all those things that are you know,
31:08
Speaker 4: our our air filters get down to a certain you know,
31:10
Speaker 4: micrometer or whatever it is of the filterization that this
31:13
Speaker 4: this picks up the other end of that. You know,
31:15
Speaker 4: it uses the the ionization and I think it creates
31:20
Speaker 4: a positive particles anyway. The way that it cleans the
31:22
Speaker 4: air is pretty is pretty interesting. There's just so many
31:24
Speaker 4: things on here for us to talk about. It's pretty
31:26
Speaker 4: amazing when you can.
31:27
Speaker 5: I'm trying to highlight a few things we've never done before.
31:30
Speaker 5: There's a fifteen hundred dollars certificate for for like custom
31:34
Speaker 5: T shirts for like your team or for your company
31:37
Speaker 5: or your church organization. Fifteen hundred dollars gift certificate to
31:40
Speaker 5: Curry Creations in Saint Albans. You could do T shirts,
31:45
Speaker 5: you could do polos, you do hoodies with you know,
31:49
Speaker 5: with different designs on it, and they take care of it.
31:51
Speaker 5: And this is like fifteen hundred dollars will get you
31:53
Speaker 5: quite a few outfits. You know, if you if you're
31:56
Speaker 5: a company and need uniforms for your for your employees,
31:59
Speaker 5: or you need T shirts for your team this summer,
32:03
Speaker 5: it's a perfect place to go.
32:04
Speaker 4: My wife's family used to have T shirts made on vacations,
32:07
Speaker 4: so they would have like their family vacation T shirts
32:09
Speaker 4: that they would take out. Anything along those lines would
32:12
Speaker 4: certainly be useful for things like that, And you're right,
32:14
Speaker 4: we've never had that before, but that that would be
32:17
Speaker 4: extraordinarily useful for like a youth youth team or something
32:20
Speaker 4: like that that needs to get some uniforms done or
32:24
Speaker 4: something along those lines.
32:25
Speaker 3: That would be extraordinarily useful for them.
32:26
Speaker 5: And I see a lot of businesses have their own
32:30
Speaker 5: their own polos with the this is a perfect opportunity to.
32:35
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, do that as well.
32:36
Speaker 5: I think we do that also, something we usually have
32:40
Speaker 5: and we will again as a generator, a generat portable
32:43
Speaker 5: generator from Xpect Power in l Few. So this is
32:46
Speaker 5: this is a nice piece. It is an ac rated
32:50
Speaker 5: output of sixty five hundred watts. It's got some special
32:56
Speaker 5: lubrication for it to automatically and automatically safeguards them engine
33:00
Speaker 5: from damage. So it's got a low oil level shut down.
33:05
Speaker 5: It's got an hour meter that tracks your maintenance intervals,
33:08
Speaker 5: you know, when it needs maintained things you don't even
33:11
Speaker 5: think about, you know, it kind of takes care of
33:12
Speaker 5: it for you. It's also electric start. That one retails
33:17
Speaker 5: at nine point forty you know, obviously you're going to
33:19
Speaker 5: get it for a lot less than that sixty percent
33:21
Speaker 5: off at least.
33:24
Speaker 4: The just incredible deals going all the way down through here.
33:26
Speaker 4: There's also a vacations and getaway segment. Again these aren't
33:29
Speaker 4: fully fully populated yet, but just looking in here one
33:33
Speaker 4: of the great staycation things that we do here in
33:34
Speaker 4: the state of West Virginia, especially during the spring and summer,
33:36
Speaker 4: oh anytime during the year. But we like our outdoor sports,
33:39
Speaker 4: we like going on water and things like that. And
33:41
Speaker 4: there are some packages for cabins at Lake Stevens and
33:44
Speaker 4: other places that you can go on. And again, now
33:46
Speaker 4: we're talking about stuff that might cost a few hundred dollars,
33:48
Speaker 4: that might make it a little bit of a barrier
33:50
Speaker 4: to get through. But if you get it for much
33:52
Speaker 4: less than that, and you're planning a family vacation or
33:54
Speaker 4: a family reunion or anything along those lines, that really helps,
33:58
Speaker 4: especially for in one of those situations were you split
34:00
Speaker 4: it among family members or something like that. Suddenly if
34:02
Speaker 4: you're splitting something that was six hundred dollars and everybody
34:05
Speaker 4: needed to bring a couple hundred dollars, and suddenly you
34:07
Speaker 4: get that down to much less than that. I mean,
34:09
Speaker 4: you can find a good bargain on here. Again, you
34:11
Speaker 4: got to check it out. Yeah, exactly on the water
34:14
Speaker 4: last at Lake Stevens. That's what's when they're now I
34:17
Speaker 4: have a feeling we're gonna have more of these packages that.
34:19
Speaker 5: We usually do, or you can check some of the
34:21
Speaker 5: other cities for packages of vacations, because if you're going
34:25
Speaker 5: to let's say somewhere in the northern part of the state,
34:28
Speaker 5: you look at our Morgantown station items or maybe something
34:31
Speaker 5: there that you're obviously going to go to. We also
34:34
Speaker 5: have I think we might have mentioned it, but last
34:38
Speaker 5: year was first time we've had tattoos. This year we
34:40
Speaker 5: have two different sets of tattoos from two different vendors
34:44
Speaker 5: on opposite ends of the valley. So you can kind
34:46
Speaker 5: of pick your design. You got to you gotta credit.
34:49
Speaker 5: You know, you're basically buying a certificate to pick your
34:51
Speaker 5: design for a tattoo with those ones that Paraduncle's tattoo
34:57
Speaker 5: in Marmette, the other ones and all the other end
34:59
Speaker 5: of the county at Venompit Tattoo in Old Main Plaza,
35:03
Speaker 5: Saint albans as a.
35:05
Speaker 4: This is a little bit out of area, but just
35:06
Speaker 4: to give you an idea of the wide variety of
35:08
Speaker 4: things that you might find on here. I have a
35:11
Speaker 4: young daughter is who's homeschooled right now. However, I was
35:14
Speaker 4: looking at one of the things that we have on here.
35:17
Speaker 4: For education, the Greater Beckley Christian School was offering nine
35:19
Speaker 4: month elementary tuition. This is at sixty percent off right now.
35:23
Speaker 4: If you're someone looking to send your kid to private school,
35:25
Speaker 4: or you do already, and maybe you can just give
35:27
Speaker 4: yourself a month break or a year break on the
35:29
Speaker 4: tuition when you pair a sixty percent discount with the
35:32
Speaker 4: Hope Scholarship, you can really get that year tuition down
35:36
Speaker 4: considerably and save you some money. I mean, preparing things
35:39
Speaker 4: like that together logically really could make some sense for you.
35:42
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean I see one of
35:44
Speaker 5: those tuitions is like fifty.
35:47
Speaker 4: Five hundred dollars. That if you get it for sixty
35:48
Speaker 4: percent off, that's twenty two hundred dollars. You apply the
35:50
Speaker 4: Hope Scholarship to that, and suddenly you're looking pretty good
35:52
Speaker 4: to for a year at tuition.
35:54
Speaker 5: You almost had free school exactly. A couple of last things. Yeah,
35:58
Speaker 5: thirty seconds left on new thing. We've add pest control
36:01
Speaker 5: either General pest Control, termite baiting or mosquito services from
36:06
Speaker 5: Spotlight Pest Control. Uh, they're out of Saint Albans. There's
36:10
Speaker 5: also some mowers. These are models that never sold their
36:15
Speaker 5: brand new as far as never nobody's ever owned them.
36:19
Speaker 5: But there's there's mowers, a chipper, and a snowblower from
36:22
Speaker 5: from Gravely Tractor.
36:24
Speaker 4: That's great, that's great, it's great information. We have to
36:26
Speaker 4: wrap up the show. We have so much that we
36:28
Speaker 4: can talk. Let's do this again in a couple of
36:29
Speaker 4: weeks once again. Maybe during the auction. Yeah, we'll do
36:32
Speaker 4: this again, then doing the auction. Maybe after next week,
36:35
Speaker 4: we'll do this again. We'll let you folks notice what's
