0:47
Speaker 3: You're listening to five adwch's the Voice of Charleston. Good morning,
0:50
Speaker 3: thanks for tuning in. I'm Dell Cooper. It is what
0:52
Speaker 3: if we will twenty five minutes past the hour. It
0:55
Speaker 3: is Wednesday morning here in Charleston, and things are looking
0:59
Speaker 3: pretty good approaching the holiday season. We don't have an
1:03
Speaker 3: expert for the for the normal side of things here
1:05
Speaker 3: for you this morning, But much like last week, Ron
1:08
Speaker 3: Hughes and I came on to tell you a little
1:09
Speaker 3: bit about w v bargains before we launched, and now
1:12
Speaker 3: we're right in the middle of the launch, literally right
1:14
Speaker 3: in the middle of the launch. It's hump day, it's Wednesday.
1:16
Speaker 3: This thing goes through Friday. Ron joins me once again
1:17
Speaker 3: on the radio, Ron, How you doing this morning, I'm great,
1:19
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on, absolutely and looking forward to
1:22
Speaker 3: always having these conversations because you know we've been We
1:25
Speaker 3: told folks about w V Bargains last time, and we'll
1:27
Speaker 3: we'll do that a little bit again this time. But
1:29
Speaker 3: this is really a massively fun auction that we put
1:33
Speaker 3: on every year. And if you go to the website
1:34
Speaker 3: right now, it's WV bargains dot com, WV bargains dot com.
1:37
Speaker 3: You can check that out and you can go to Charleston,
1:40
Speaker 3: which we would suggest you do because those are your
1:42
Speaker 3: hyper local businesses. These aren't you know, these aren't things
1:45
Speaker 3: that we're selling from out of state or from national
1:47
Speaker 3: brands or something along those lines.
1:49
Speaker 4: As far as the Hugeson is broken down, it is
1:51
Speaker 4: broken down by Morgantown, Charleston, Beckley, Clarksburg, Martinsburg, Kaiser, I
1:56
Speaker 4: mean Cumberland. So because we have already four stations around
2:01
Speaker 4: the state, we break up the local businesses by their
2:05
Speaker 4: physical locations. So our stations, our seven stations represented in Charleston,
2:11
Speaker 4: worked with local businesses to give you items at up
2:14
Speaker 4: to sixty five percent off, and if you know what
2:16
Speaker 4: a silent auction is. This is basically it. You don't
2:21
Speaker 4: have to do anything really fancy or special. We don't
2:24
Speaker 4: have a licensed auctionneer to auction it off live. You
2:27
Speaker 4: go online, you make a bid, If you get outbid,
2:30
Speaker 4: you get a chance to place another bid. But there
2:33
Speaker 4: are dozens of items here from local businesses here in Kanawha,
2:38
Speaker 4: Putnam Counties, maybe one or two in Cable County, but
2:41
Speaker 4: just right here in the area.
2:43
Speaker 3: And if you go and you're looking through the Charleston
2:45
Speaker 3: area one and maybe you don't see exactly what you're
2:47
Speaker 3: looking for, there are other regions and you can break
2:49
Speaker 3: it down by category instead of city. And the reason
2:52
Speaker 3: it's set up like this is we've explained before and
2:54
Speaker 3: like Ron was just talking to, we work with our
2:58
Speaker 3: clients locally for these So the same goes for our
3:01
Speaker 3: Morgantown office or Martinsburg office and so on and so forth.
3:04
Speaker 3: But those deals are still available to you. If you see,
3:06
Speaker 3: like a motorcycle that's in Morgantown that you really want
3:10
Speaker 3: to get and it's a great deal, you can still
3:12
Speaker 3: buy it. Although it's it was that region's deal that
3:15
Speaker 3: they put together. You have to go pick it up.
3:17
Speaker 3: But other than that, if it's sixty percent off, it's
3:19
Speaker 3: worth travel to drive.
3:20
Speaker 4: You're going to more than make up for the extra
3:22
Speaker 4: gas you paid. But if you follow along with the website,
3:25
Speaker 4: if you want to look at it while we're talking,
3:27
Speaker 4: and go on your phone or tablet or computer at
3:30
Speaker 4: wv bargains dot com, you can see all of the
3:33
Speaker 4: items there and by city. But if you go to
3:37
Speaker 4: categories and you say, well, I just want to look
3:39
Speaker 4: at all the lawn equipment and I don't mind to drive,
3:41
Speaker 4: So go to categories, you know, click on the little
3:46
Speaker 4: gray box that says categories, and you'll see the cities. First, well,
3:51
Speaker 4: you see a featured item, you'll see the cities Morgantown, Clarksburg, Beckley, Charleston,
3:55
Speaker 4: so forth. And then it gets into a breakdown of categories.
3:59
Speaker 4: So you have automotive, furniture to core, health and beauty,
4:02
Speaker 4: getaway vacations, jewelry, Home and Garden, which is going to
4:06
Speaker 4: be where all of a you know, like the lawn equipment,
4:09
Speaker 4: the mowers, the tractors, those type of things, tools, sporting goods,
4:15
Speaker 4: outdoors which is where you'll see the ATVs and motorcycles.
4:18
Speaker 4: And then there's exercise recreation. We've got quite a few
4:22
Speaker 4: annual pool passes. We've got some indoor pool passes from
4:26
Speaker 4: the South Charleston Community Center. There's also fitness programs from
4:31
Speaker 4: from Hot Works and the Tri County YMCA and South
4:34
Speaker 4: Charleston Community Center in that category for example. But you've
4:38
Speaker 4: got electronics, gift certificates, education appliances. We've had tattoos before.
4:46
Speaker 4: I don't think we have any this time, toys and
4:48
Speaker 4: so forth. So any category you're looking for, it'll show
4:51
Speaker 4: everything from around the state that has to do with
4:53
Speaker 4: our company, WVRC Media. But if you only want to
4:56
Speaker 4: look at the things that are in Charleston, click on
4:58
Speaker 4: that category. You'll see you'll see all of them.
5:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really amazing when you go through and you
5:03
Speaker 3: look at them, and I like the little category number indicators.
5:06
Speaker 3: You can see what categories really have a ton of stuff,
5:08
Speaker 3: not only by city, but when you go down into
5:10
Speaker 3: the different categories and you can see, you know, there's
5:12
Speaker 3: tons of guest certificates, electronics, different things along those lines,
5:15
Speaker 3: and it's just it's amazing to me, both in Charleston
5:18
Speaker 3: and outside of Charleston, just how incredible some of these
5:20
Speaker 3: things are. I was just randomly browsing through the site
5:22
Speaker 3: the other day and again for sixty sixty sixty five
5:26
Speaker 3: percent off. There was a portable seapack machine that you
5:29
Speaker 3: can take on the airplane with you. I mean for
5:30
Speaker 3: folks that need those that have problems. That was out
5:33
Speaker 3: of the Charleston area. But still, if that's something that
5:35
Speaker 3: you're looking for to get it, to get it for
5:37
Speaker 3: under five hundred dollars, something that's the normal cost is
5:40
Speaker 3: over fifteen hundred dollars, that's a good deal, man.
5:42
Speaker 4: It's an excellent deal. And if somebody's listening from out
5:45
Speaker 4: of town, it'd certainly be worth the drive. I used
5:47
Speaker 4: to have somebody that would buy things from a furniture
5:50
Speaker 4: store here locally on our auction and drive down from
5:53
Speaker 4: Morgantown because it was worth it for that type of item.
5:56
Speaker 4: But if you'll look, Charleston has the most items. Charleston
6:00
Speaker 4: has one hundred and twenty four items to pick from.
6:03
Speaker 4: Cumberland has ninety six, Morgantown has seventy five, so seventy
6:09
Speaker 4: two from Clarksburg also, So there's a good indication that
6:13
Speaker 4: probably in Charleston there's something you want. But if you
6:16
Speaker 4: don't see what you want, go to the categories look
6:18
Speaker 4: and see. You'll probably see it. I don't think we
6:20
Speaker 4: have a riding mower here in Charleston, but I think
6:23
Speaker 4: there's one in one of the other cities, either Cumberland
6:27
Speaker 4: or Beckley. But here, as soon as you go to
6:30
Speaker 4: the top of the page under Charleston, you've got first
6:33
Speaker 4: thing you see is a family of four season pool
6:35
Speaker 4: pass to Saint Albans City Pool, which is a great
6:38
Speaker 4: Olympic sized pool. And if you just think of somebody
6:42
Speaker 4: that might like that for Christmas a two hundred and
6:45
Speaker 4: twenty five dollars value, you get it for ninety bucks.
6:48
Speaker 4: Great great thing to give away for a family you
6:51
Speaker 4: know that would want to go to the pool during
6:53
Speaker 4: summer at the City of Saint Albans City Park.
6:58
Speaker 3: You can. And that's the thing. Although we're in the
7:00
Speaker 3: time of year, you know, the weather is finally starting
7:02
Speaker 3: to turn cold, so we're starting to think about the
7:03
Speaker 3: cold weather type things. But there's tons of things on here.
7:06
Speaker 3: If you're planning for what you're doing next season, next
7:08
Speaker 3: summer with your kids, whatever it might be, there's tons
7:11
Speaker 3: of things on there that that you can find that
7:13
Speaker 3: and everybody knows, like when you go shopping for Christmas
7:16
Speaker 3: or anything else. Uh, pre planting, pre planning and buying
7:19
Speaker 3: ahead of time will save you tons of money. And
7:20
Speaker 3: this is just another one of the circumstances where that
7:22
Speaker 3: can help out absolutely.
7:24
Speaker 4: I mean, there are things that are that are seasonal.
7:26
Speaker 4: I did see a snowblower from from Gravely down there
7:29
Speaker 4: in Dunbar. But there's also lighting, you know, from from
7:33
Speaker 4: Leonard's Electric. It's almost time to be thinking about tires
7:37
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, maybe you're looking for a winter
7:39
Speaker 4: tread or just make sure you get your tires replaced
7:42
Speaker 4: before the snow and ice gets here. Eddie's Tire there
7:46
Speaker 4: in Winfield and PoCA have certificates for well, you can
7:50
Speaker 4: use anything there. Use the certificate for anything there. But
7:53
Speaker 4: they do have tires, but they also have uh you know,
7:56
Speaker 4: auto repair, brakes, so forth, oil change, tune ups. Use
7:59
Speaker 4: that certific for whatever you want.
8:01
Speaker 3: And that's the nice thing about it is it's not
8:03
Speaker 3: only just for the tires, although that's a great deal
8:04
Speaker 3: for the tires, because it is crazy even if you
8:06
Speaker 3: have a relatively small car, who has small cars anymore?
8:08
Speaker 2: Right?
8:09
Speaker 3: I happen to have one but even if you have
8:11
Speaker 3: relatively small cars, the price of tires if just are
8:15
Speaker 3: incredible anymore.
8:16
Speaker 4: Right, and five hundred dollars certificate that you get for
8:18
Speaker 4: two hundred bucks, you automatically save three hundred dollars exactly.
8:22
Speaker 3: If you pair a couple of those together, you can
8:24
Speaker 3: probably get all of your tires, maybe your oil change,
8:30
Speaker 3: and your inspection sticker and all that stuff as well,
8:32
Speaker 3: and get a considerable discount for that. I mean that's
8:34
Speaker 3: not a bad idea.
8:35
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But you know, you think outside of cars, there
8:38
Speaker 4: is also furniture from Dunbar Furniture. You can get a
8:41
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars certificate for as little as two hundred
8:44
Speaker 4: dollars by placing a bid. A lot of times people
8:48
Speaker 4: want an armi or maybe a quilt chest, hope chest
8:53
Speaker 4: type thing for Christmas. Excellent place to look at things
8:56
Speaker 4: like that.
8:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, my entire living room and kind of sweet area
9:01
Speaker 3: exit living room is it's all dumber furniture stuff that
9:04
Speaker 3: I got there. I mean it's a decade ago now,
9:06
Speaker 3: so I mean it guess it goes to.
9:07
Speaker 4: Show you I always had quality furniture. Now they're in
9:10
Speaker 4: their second generation. I knew the original a father. I
9:13
Speaker 4: remember working with him back in the eighties on advertising,
9:16
Speaker 4: and they've just hung in there, you know, kept up,
9:19
Speaker 4: watched the other places come and go, and it's family
9:22
Speaker 4: place and if you want to deal with local people,
9:24
Speaker 4: it's a great it's a great place to start.
9:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got great service over there. And
9:28
Speaker 3: and it's it's really something else when you when you
9:32
Speaker 3: go somewhere that and there's a difference between going to
9:35
Speaker 3: and everybody talks about the big box stores, but seriously,
9:38
Speaker 3: when you could go and you can actually talk about
9:39
Speaker 3: the manufacturing of the furniture. This is where it was made,
9:42
Speaker 3: This is where the wood's from. This is the kind
9:43
Speaker 3: of brackets that they put on the interior of it,
9:45
Speaker 3: and this is how they put it together. This is
9:46
Speaker 3: how it's refortified. That's the kind of service that you
9:49
Speaker 3: get when you go to a local business as opposed
9:50
Speaker 3: to you know, you just go to one of the
9:52
Speaker 3: big stores and they tell you, well, this is what
9:54
Speaker 3: the sheet says, it was made here, and this is
9:56
Speaker 3: the material. You know, you don't really get any inside
9:58
Speaker 3: information that way.
9:59
Speaker 4: This is where it was shipped. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty
10:01
Speaker 4: much all the owls is on it. But you'll notice here.
10:04
Speaker 4: You know, we can't really do this promotion with with
10:08
Speaker 4: chain stores, you know, especially box stores. They's just nobody
10:12
Speaker 4: local to approve it. So everything we have is with
10:14
Speaker 4: a local business. So you're helping a local business out
10:17
Speaker 4: and helping yourself out while you, uh, while you get
10:19
Speaker 4: a pretty good, pretty good deal. I mean, because it's Christmas.
10:23
Speaker 4: I see things that would be relatively good Christmas presents,
10:26
Speaker 4: like jewelry from Pettit Jewelry or Thomas Jewelers over in
10:33
Speaker 4: in Kanaha City, Petits up in South Hill.
10:35
Speaker 3: If you have your idea on something, you can even
10:37
Speaker 3: use these to make your Christmas cheaper. So you don't
10:39
Speaker 3: have to get this certificate just to give it, although
10:41
Speaker 3: you can certainly get it. You can get it at
10:43
Speaker 3: the discount and then use it for yourself if you
10:45
Speaker 3: have your eye on a particular item that you want
10:46
Speaker 3: to get for somebody and it can help reduce the
10:48
Speaker 3: cost of the thing that you want to get.
10:49
Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, you do not have to give this certificate away.
10:53
Speaker 4: You can just go in buy earrings or a necklace
10:56
Speaker 4: for your.
10:57
Speaker 3: Give it to me. There's all kinds of things you
10:58
Speaker 3: can do with yeah, you know, send it into Ron
11:01
Speaker 3: a tribute.
11:02
Speaker 4: You can say, hey, Ron, thanks for working so hard
11:04
Speaker 4: on this auction. Here's a five hundred dollars certificate to
11:07
Speaker 4: buy yourself a piece of gold nugget or something like that. Yeah,
11:10
Speaker 4: that's that's that's very true.
11:11
Speaker 3: We've talked before about the why memberships that are on
11:14
Speaker 3: here too, and there's a there's a whole slew of
11:15
Speaker 3: the why memberships and what's nice about these these are
11:18
Speaker 3: year long memberships, and if you don't know your community wise,
11:21
Speaker 3: it's not just you go there to do your grind
11:23
Speaker 3: on the gym. You know that, you go and you
11:25
Speaker 3: get your steps in or whatever, and then you go
11:26
Speaker 3: to the shower and you go to work. There's so
11:28
Speaker 3: many activities and things that goes on it are wise
11:30
Speaker 3: that that having a membership is really a very very
11:34
Speaker 3: good thing for your lifestyle, because there's there's all kinds
11:37
Speaker 3: of things that having a membership either gets you for
11:39
Speaker 3: free or exteep discounts and activities that go on the
11:42
Speaker 3: while on top of the gym and everything else.
11:44
Speaker 4: They started as you know, kind of a social organization originally.
11:48
Speaker 4: Some of those song it tells you about it.
11:50
Speaker 3: Right.
11:52
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, don't listen too deeply.
11:54
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but still, I mean level they.
11:56
Speaker 4: Used to have, like it would be like a bed
11:59
Speaker 4: and breakfast or hostole or something like that. It's kind
12:01
Speaker 4: of how they got started. But this particular why the
12:05
Speaker 4: Tri County Y MCA in Putnam County is is huge.
12:09
Speaker 4: You do have your typical fitness things, but they also
12:11
Speaker 4: have a lot of sports, basketball, camping for kids, indoor
12:15
Speaker 4: swimming pool which might be the only one down that way.
12:19
Speaker 4: I don't I don't think there is an indoor pool
12:21
Speaker 4: anywhere else. So you want to keep swimming over over
12:26
Speaker 4: the winter, it's an excellent place to to get a certificate.
12:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just important for these types of things you
12:31
Speaker 3: keep in mind that there's so many benefits sometimes that
12:34
Speaker 3: comes to you know, memberships or different things like that.
12:36
Speaker 3: As we talk about each of these things individually, there's
12:39
Speaker 3: there's just different benefits that come into mind. Not to mention,
12:41
Speaker 3: you know, if you if you are trying to stay
12:43
Speaker 3: in shape, or you're you want to give a gift
12:44
Speaker 3: for someone who is, Uh, those are great, Uh, those
12:47
Speaker 3: are great ways to do to do that. We talked
12:49
Speaker 3: about this a little bit the last time we were
12:50
Speaker 3: on the air, but but it seems like that when
12:53
Speaker 3: I talk to folks about this and they're browsing on
12:55
Speaker 3: things on here. In fact, I think uh uh. President
12:58
Speaker 3: of the company, George Volunteer even talked about the fireplaces.
13:01
Speaker 3: Some of the gas fireplaces that are in here are
13:03
Speaker 3: super duper nice. I mean, if that's something that you're
13:05
Speaker 3: looking for. My wife is actually size wise, the one
13:08
Speaker 3: on here doesn't quite match what we were looking for.
13:11
Speaker 3: I was really hoping it would because esthetically it was
13:13
Speaker 3: exactly what we wanted. But these things are super nice.
13:16
Speaker 3: And to have these kind of gas style fireplaces to
13:19
Speaker 3: put in your home, they give you the nice comfort
13:21
Speaker 3: without I mean, frankly, the difficulty of keeping a wood
13:25
Speaker 3: fireplace right.
13:26
Speaker 4: And if you have a fireplace and you don't want
13:29
Speaker 4: to burn wood anymore, there's a golden blunt hickory gas
13:34
Speaker 4: log set with a burner from Fireside and Patio and
13:38
Speaker 4: Cross Lanes. Excellent piece. You know, if you want some
13:42
Speaker 4: warmth and you want the ambiance, and you decide I'm
13:45
Speaker 4: not going to burn wood anymore. I want something a
13:48
Speaker 4: little cleaner and safer. But there's also in that same
13:51
Speaker 4: line there's also a pellet stove, which is also easier
13:54
Speaker 4: to work with than wood if you are interested in that.
13:58
Speaker 4: Pellets are pretty well you biquit as you can get
14:01
Speaker 4: them anywhere to keep it fueled up. And it's fairly automatic.
14:05
Speaker 4: The hopper just kind of feeds it in as it
14:07
Speaker 4: as it uses it up. Uh. But there's also a
14:10
Speaker 4: chipper and like I said, the the snow blower for outdoor,
14:15
Speaker 4: a trim or mower combination for you know, for a yard.
14:20
Speaker 4: There's also a commercial blower hedge tremmer from from Creed
14:24
Speaker 4: Power over in uh in Scott Depot as well.
14:27
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these uh these uh, these larger, these
14:30
Speaker 3: large equipment pieces that we have like the toy built chipper, uh,
14:33
Speaker 3: the the snowblower, we have a snowblower, hedge trimmer combo.
14:38
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these things and then a traditional mower.
14:40
Speaker 3: If somebody was looking to uh to start a landscaping
14:44
Speaker 3: business or some kind of a yard care business or
14:46
Speaker 3: something along those lines, you can make three or four
14:49
Speaker 3: of your massive purchases on something like this and with
14:52
Speaker 3: each of them get a very steep discount to get
14:54
Speaker 3: all new equipment to help with your yard care services.
14:57
Speaker 3: Is that something you're looking at, doing you could save
14:59
Speaker 3: a ton of money doing it this way.
15:00
Speaker 4: Well, absolutely, and you know you have all the seasons covered.
15:03
Speaker 4: You've got the chipper, the mower tra I was just
15:05
Speaker 4: thinking exactly three different items you can get at one time,
15:07
Speaker 4: and if you know, didn't have a lot of competitive bidding,
15:11
Speaker 4: you could do that for about for less than eight
15:13
Speaker 4: hundred dollars.
15:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty incredible, and I know I mentioned this
15:16
Speaker 3: the last time I was on there. Also for small
15:18
Speaker 3: business owners, if you don't have a snowblower, and you
15:21
Speaker 3: have sidewalk or real estate out in front of your
15:23
Speaker 3: business and you have a hard time keeping that clear
15:24
Speaker 3: once the snow gets here. Just as a former small
15:27
Speaker 3: business owner, I would highly recommend you get one of those.
15:29
Speaker 3: It's a great investment. You can clear it for yourself,
15:31
Speaker 3: maybe you do it for your neighboring businesses as well,
15:33
Speaker 3: to make a nice inviting area for folks to be
15:35
Speaker 3: able to come into your business when the weather's a
15:37
Speaker 3: little bad. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. That
15:40
Speaker 3: was one of the things that I invested in heavily
15:42
Speaker 3: to make sure we did, and we turned it into
15:43
Speaker 3: a community project. So two or three of the businesses
15:46
Speaker 3: in downtown Jackson, Michigan, where I had one of my stores.
15:49
Speaker 3: We all pitched in and got snowblowers and then there
15:51
Speaker 3: are maybe twelve businesses around a two block area and
15:53
Speaker 3: we ended up just clear enough all the sidewalks every
15:55
Speaker 3: single winter week took a little piece of it, and
15:57
Speaker 3: that whole retail area downtown was nice and and clear
16:00
Speaker 3: of snow.
16:01
Speaker 4: That not give you an advantage over other little.
16:03
Speaker 3: Absolutely true, And before the city could come through or
16:05
Speaker 3: anything else, it was ready for people to walk in
16:07
Speaker 3: and not have their boats their boots filled with snow
16:10
Speaker 3: and they could come into your business. That makes a difference.
16:12
Speaker 3: I know that seems like a very small thing that
16:14
Speaker 3: really can make quite a difference. So when you have
16:16
Speaker 3: a small business like that.
16:18
Speaker 4: That could really hurt a business because somebody that sees
16:21
Speaker 4: snow covered sidewalk or you know, the snow is piled
16:23
Speaker 4: up along the curve when you get out of your car, yep, car,
16:26
Speaker 4: you can't you can't get in. So this would be
16:29
Speaker 4: perfect for that small business and wants to make sure
16:31
Speaker 4: that people can get in and their livelihood depends on it.
16:34
Speaker 3: It's a literal barrier to getting in. Not to mention
16:37
Speaker 3: folks that have reduced accessibility, access and things like that.
16:40
Speaker 3: You want to make sure you keep those things clear.
16:41
Speaker 4: Absolutely, with the combination of that that snow blower plus
16:44
Speaker 4: a regular blower, you could pretty well tackle anything around
16:49
Speaker 4: around that.
16:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I keep it, keep it nice and clear for
16:52
Speaker 3: folks to be able to get in. Of course, you
16:53
Speaker 3: can use if your private residence and things as well.
16:56
Speaker 3: I'm just there's different ideas here and things that you
16:58
Speaker 3: can apply for that might make a lot of sense.
17:01
Speaker 4: Like you know, like we said at the beginning of
17:03
Speaker 4: the show, this this auction is basically a silent auction.
17:07
Speaker 4: It's bids for bargains. You're you're placing bids to get
17:10
Speaker 4: up to sixty five percent off of these items that
17:13
Speaker 4: are available from local businesses. You know, you're not putting
17:17
Speaker 4: in a bid to order something that's going to be
17:19
Speaker 4: delivered from from Hong Kong or China or you know,
17:22
Speaker 4: even California. This stuff is already here. We have to
17:26
Speaker 4: see it and touch it before we take a picture.
17:28
Speaker 4: Most of these pictures, you know, and if if quality
17:31
Speaker 4: is not great, you know, blame me. But most of
17:33
Speaker 4: these pictures are pictures of the actual items in the stores.
17:36
Speaker 4: So you can see what you're getting and it's there
17:39
Speaker 4: to go look at before you even place the bid.
17:42
Speaker 3: I think people might have a tendency to roll their
17:44
Speaker 3: eyes at steep discounts because we've been so inundated with
17:47
Speaker 3: places like Timu and Sheen and stuff like that that
17:49
Speaker 3: you expect, oh yeah, sure it's sixty percent off, but
17:52
Speaker 3: it's like a three use product. You know you're going
17:54
Speaker 3: to use it a couple of times and it'll fall apart.
17:56
Speaker 3: That's not the case here, That's that's not what we're offering.
17:58
Speaker 3: These are all quality products, really products that are that
18:01
Speaker 3: are that are truly manufactured and not something that that's
18:04
Speaker 3: made to fail from our local businesses. So you're getting
18:07
Speaker 3: this steep discount for the business behind the scenes, not
18:10
Speaker 3: because you're getting an inferior product that's being shipped from
18:12
Speaker 3: who knows where uh to get to you in you know,
18:15
Speaker 3: two or three weeks. You know they're shipping when those
18:17
Speaker 3: things are always terrible too. Well.
18:18
Speaker 4: You know, for example, the chainsaw red Max from from
18:22
Speaker 4: Wally's up and Up in Elkview. It's real nice piece.
18:26
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's it's solid, it's not cheap looking,
18:29
Speaker 4: it's not cheap feeling. It's it's a solid, heavy piece
18:32
Speaker 4: and it's right there in the store. You can go
18:33
Speaker 4: look at it before you place a bid. Same thing
18:36
Speaker 4: with the diamonds necklace or the ear rings from Thomas Jewelers.
18:39
Speaker 4: You can actually see the items, look at them, touch them,
18:44
Speaker 4: talk to the jeweler, get get the background on them.
18:48
Speaker 4: One is a one carrot lab grown diamond pendant. The
18:51
Speaker 4: other is a one carrot study e ring set. You
18:57
Speaker 4: can look at them, you know, if you ask him
18:59
Speaker 4: to you, yeah, exactly, hold them exactly.
19:02
Speaker 3: And that's a lot different than when you have to
19:05
Speaker 3: give things shift or when you're going something that's at
19:07
Speaker 3: one of the big stores. I'll tell you what. Let's

Speaker 3: morning about WV Bargains. You can play along with us

Speaker 3: do through all of our clusters of radio stations here
24:14
Speaker 3: where we work with our advertisers to it's a deal

Speaker 3: between us. But the bottom line is is the fruits
24:21
Speaker 3: of that labor allows for our listeners to get great
24:24
Speaker 3: deals up to sixty percent off in a lot of
24:25
Speaker 3: cases that you can go in bed for right now.
24:28
Speaker 3: So you can go to WV Bargains dot com. You
24:30
Speaker 3: can break it down by category or by region. A
24:32
Speaker 3: lot of these things are things you need to pick up,
24:35
Speaker 3: so keep in mind if it's by region and it's
24:36
Speaker 3: outside of the Charlestonnaria, it means you have to arrange
24:39
Speaker 3: pick up. Some of it might be as easy as
24:40
Speaker 3: contacting the person you purchase it from and maybe you
24:42
Speaker 3: can arrange for them to mail relatively small things or
24:45
Speaker 3: something like that, but that would be up to you
24:47
Speaker 3: after it was after the purchase was taken care of.
24:49
Speaker 3: But you can check it out at WV bargains dot com.
24:51
Speaker 3: All kinds of things there to look at, from sports activities,
24:55
Speaker 3: to health and to kitchen and to car maintenance and
25:00
Speaker 3: yard maintenance. There's just pretty much anything that you need
25:03
Speaker 3: being a human alive today for the most.
25:05
Speaker 4: Part kind of it's that time of year, so there's
25:09
Speaker 4: going to be things where you may situations where you
25:12
Speaker 4: run into power issue. So there's a little portable generator
25:16
Speaker 4: you could keep in the car or keep it close by.
25:20
Speaker 4: It's got a handle on it. You just pick it
25:22
Speaker 4: up and take it wherever you want it to go.
25:24
Speaker 4: But it's from XPEC Power seven hundred and twenty dollars
25:27
Speaker 4: value for starting out. Well, I see there's already a
25:30
Speaker 4: bid on there, so you've got a Yeah.
25:32
Speaker 3: I just saw that too, because that's one of the
25:33
Speaker 3: ones I had my eyes one there. You definitely are.
25:36
Speaker 4: The current bid is two eighty eight, so you can
25:39
Speaker 4: put bids on there and you can set a limit
25:41
Speaker 4: where it'll automatically increase your bid as other bids come in,
25:44
Speaker 4: so you can kind of keep an eye on it.
25:48
Speaker 4: Same thing with what's next door to it. There's a
25:50
Speaker 4: pellet stove from fireside and patio, a quadrifire castile pellet
25:56
Speaker 4: pellet stove, free standing stove, so excellent, excellent feel of
26:00
Speaker 4: warmth this time of year.
26:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, and be able to find those types of things
26:04
Speaker 3: that this wasn't in the Charleston area, but I was
26:06
Speaker 3: really pretty excited to see they have in the Cumberland area.
26:10
Speaker 3: They have an upright freezer over there that's steeply discounted
26:14
Speaker 3: down to two hundred and eighty dollars right now. The
26:16
Speaker 3: only reason I I that that caught my eyes my
26:18
Speaker 3: wife and I were literally just looking at those last
26:20
Speaker 3: weekend because we went one for our basement and we
26:22
Speaker 3: were looking for upright freezers and at one hundred and
26:24
Speaker 3: sixty bucks. That's a good that's a good deal for
26:26
Speaker 3: that right now.
26:27
Speaker 4: That's that would be worth the trip. Yeah, that'd be
26:30
Speaker 4: worth going over to Cumberland take up and back. Yeah, yeah,
26:33
Speaker 4: no doubt.
26:33
Speaker 3: But there's still plenty of things wherever you're looking for
26:36
Speaker 3: to uh to or whatever you're looking for for for
26:39
Speaker 3: your household or for your life. Plenty of things that
26:42
Speaker 3: you can look at in our local area for our
26:44
Speaker 3: local businesses and different things that you can get into,
26:46
Speaker 3: whether it be you know, we talked about the the
26:49
Speaker 3: dance studio in Saint Albans I just saw I was
26:52
Speaker 3: reading some of those Ladies posts from where they went
26:55
Speaker 3: to New York and that took plate and they were
26:57
Speaker 3: in the Macy's parade and some of the fun that
27:00
Speaker 3: they had over there, and that's I think that they
27:02
Speaker 3: send representatives fairly often from that day.
27:04
Speaker 4: Every year they have people in the in the Macy's
27:07
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving Day parade.
27:08
Speaker 3: So if that's something you want to be part of,
27:09
Speaker 3: you know, if that's something that your child is passionate about.
27:13
Speaker 3: And frankly, I'm not sure about my daughter. She is
27:16
Speaker 3: really into choreographing dances right now, and listening to music.
27:19
Speaker 3: The dance might be something that she's into. I don't
27:21
Speaker 3: know yet.
27:22
Speaker 4: My daughter did that for fourteen years, is that right?
27:25
Speaker 3: You know, so.
27:27
Speaker 4: It was always constant, you know, rehearsal is you know,
27:31
Speaker 4: it's it's fun to watch them rehearse. It's fun to
27:33
Speaker 4: watch them, you know, start with these initial you know steps,
27:38
Speaker 4: you know, just the beginning steps of tap or you know,
27:43
Speaker 4: jazz or anything like that that's that's dance related. And
27:47
Speaker 4: as you watch them get older and they get better,
27:49
Speaker 4: you realize, well, hey, my kid should be a professional.
27:52
Speaker 4: I should be able to get a scholarship, just like
27:54
Speaker 4: you know. It's just like football or baseball.
27:56
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, it's exactly like that. And that's exactly how
27:59
Speaker 3: how my my brother in law's his stepdaughter is extraordinarily
28:03
Speaker 3: talented dancer, and she's gotten a lead in some winter
28:07
Speaker 3: programs and different things like that, which is hugely exciting
28:09
Speaker 3: when those things start to happen. But anyway, the journey
28:12
Speaker 3: has to start somewhere, right and if you want to
28:13
Speaker 3: start with classes at in Saint Albans that you can
28:17
Speaker 3: do that we have. You can get a good discount
28:18
Speaker 3: to start those classes over there, and you can find
28:21
Speaker 3: those at the site WP bargains dot com.
28:23
Speaker 4: Or if your child is a swimmer, you know, you've
28:25
Speaker 4: got the City of South Charleston Community Center, you know,
28:28
Speaker 4: which has another indoor pool for the area or for
28:32
Speaker 4: outdoor pools. You know, in the summer there's the City
28:35
Speaker 4: of Saint Albans pool there.
28:36
Speaker 3: Again, I'm thinking about parents, when you're trying to get
28:40
Speaker 3: ready for the summer things that you're going to have
28:41
Speaker 3: your kids do. I remember an easy way that they
28:44
Speaker 3: kept me out that I got kept out of trouble
28:46
Speaker 3: when I was a kid is my parents just pointed
28:49
Speaker 3: me out a pool when I would go there and
28:50
Speaker 3: stay for several hours during the day, and it was
28:52
Speaker 3: often the Saint Albans Pool up on the hill there
28:54
Speaker 3: that I would ride my bike there with a couple
28:56
Speaker 3: of friends and you know, we'd meet there or get
28:59
Speaker 3: there about and we would stay until three or four
29:01
Speaker 3: o'clock in the afternoon before we went home. And that
29:05
Speaker 3: kept you out of trouble.
29:06
Speaker 4: They've kept that pool maintained. It's really not all that
29:09
Speaker 4: old because it wasn't there when I was a kid.
29:10
Speaker 4: It wasn't available. We only had private pools. But you know,
29:13
Speaker 4: it's been there long enough you know that it's kind
29:16
Speaker 4: of becoming an established tradition. This is where you take
29:19
Speaker 4: your kids in the summertime. And they also have swimming
29:22
Speaker 4: swimming records, are swimming classes there, and they also have
29:25
Speaker 4: a swimming team that competes against other pools. I remember
29:29
Speaker 4: my other daughter has several of the swimming records still
29:32
Speaker 4: to this day from the Saint Albans I think it
29:35

Speaker 3: still so there's such there's a little bit of a
30:27
Speaker 3: novelty still attached to them, and kids just flock to
30:29
Speaker 3: these things. A couple of things. I'm in my fifties,
30:32
Speaker 3: but my daughter is only seven, and I get all
30:34
Speaker 3: these evites for birthday parties and stuff like that. So
30:37

30:40
Speaker 3: in them. I mean, it's just like come and get
30:42
Speaker 3: into the bouncy coutle or whatever it might be. Number
30:44
Speaker 3: Two downtown businesses. I see that a lot of these
30:46
Speaker 3: businesses in some of their where they have seating during
30:50
Speaker 3: the summertime, they use that area. And some of them
30:53
Speaker 3: are putting up inflatables for decorating for Christmas and things
30:56

31:09
Speaker 3: was at Rusty Webb's Thunder in the Mountains a couple
31:12
Speaker 3: of years ago that he had over in Kanall City,
31:14
Speaker 3: And of course that's a tennis tournament, you know, and
31:16
Speaker 3: you expect it to be a very adult type of
31:18
Speaker 3: centric place because it was a college it was college
31:22
Speaker 3: level tennis, and you know, there was a crowd and
31:25
Speaker 3: everything over there. But you know what, he and his
31:28
Speaker 3: people had the foresight to get a bouncy castle over
31:30
Speaker 3: there for the kids. It was packed and that was
31:32
Speaker 3: the only thing over there, but the kids loved it.
31:34
Speaker 3: And so while the adults were watching tennis and having
31:35
Speaker 3: a good time with that thing, the kids were over
31:37
Speaker 3: in the bouncy castle just having a great time.
31:39

31:41
Speaker 4: ordinarily you might be able to have one of those
31:43
Speaker 4: items in your budget, but you know, with that five
