Izikhathi Ezingu-5 Abantu Abathola Ngazo Amagugu Ngezindlela Ezingalindelekile

Kunemithombo emithathu emikhulu yomcebo ofihliwe: igolide elingcwatshwe izigelekeqe, amathuna asendulo, kanye nesigaba esithi "Ngoba Ubuke" ku-Netflix. Kodwa leyo yimithombo kuphela. Sicabanga ukuthi zikhona ezinye izindlela zokuthola ingcebo eyimfihlo. Sizoncika kubantu abalandelayo. Babonakala bengochwepheshe.5I-Goodwill Sweater Iphenduka Ucezu Lomlando WezemidlaloI-Goodwill muhle uma udinga ukuthola isudi umuntu ashone ngayo ozoyigqoka kuze kube usuku lwakho lwenkantolo. Kodwa ngisho nezinqwaba zamajezi ama-ratty nama-mothballed slacks ngezinye izikhathi zifihla izinto ezinhle. Ngokuqondile, le-artifact ye-NFL engcwele:Njengabathengisi bezingubo zakudala, umbhangqwana waseTennessee u-Sean no-Nikki McEvoy bahlale bebheke izingubo ezishibhile, okungcono kakhulu izinto ezingakaze zigqokwe kusukela ekuphathweni kwe-Carter. Ngo-2014, banquma ukushwiba ngasesitolo saseNorth Carolina Goodwill. Lapho, u-Nikki wabona ijezi lekolishi "elicocekile, lekhwalithi ephezulu" lase-West Point Military Academy. Futhi yayishibhile! Laba ababili bekumele bakhokhe amasenti angu-58 kuphela. Kodwa mhlawumbe abantu baseGoodwill bekufanele balibhekisise lelo jezi. Kungenzeka ukuthi babonile ukuthi bekukade kuyingxenye yomqeqeshi we-NFL u-Vince "The Bard" Lombardi. Esebuyile ekhaya, u-Nikki walunguza wathola igama elibhalwe ukuthi "LOMBARDI 46" ethungelwe emgqeni wentamo. Ngeshwa, lelo gama alizange likhale kuye, ngakho-ke ijezi langena enqwabeni yezingubo zakudala. Kwamane kwaqondana nje ukuthi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, uSean wabona le ndoda egqoke ijezi elibukeka lijwayelekile esithombeni esidala. "Bekungeke yini kube kuhle uma sinejezi lelo ngqo?" wazibuza...Yebo, lokhu kuthengwa kweGoodwill ngamasenti angu-58 yilokho uLombardi ayekugqokile ngesikhathi eseWest Point, lapho abaningi bevuma khona ukuthi wafunda indlela yakhe yokuqeqesha edumile (funda: ukumemeza). Ephethe insalela yezemidlalo enjalo, uSean wabiza i-Football Hall of Fame ebuza ukuthi bayafuna yini ukuyithenga, kodwa bafuna ukuthi banikele ngayo mahhala (ngoba ibhola ). Ngakho-ke washayela ijezi endlini yendali yaseDallas, lapho, ngemva kokuqinisekisa ukuthi laligcwele amabala omlando, balithengisa ku-mega-fan ngo-$43,020. Leyo inzuzo engaphezu kwamaphesenti ayishumi! Kungenzeka . Sibi kakhulu ngezinombolo.4Inqwaba Yamathini Amathini Amadala Kwavela Ukuthi Agcwaliswe Ngama-Doubloons EgolideNgonyaka ka-2013, umbhangqwana ohlala eNyakatho California, okuhlangene ne-Gold Rush yango-1949, baphawule okuthile okuxakile ngenkathi behambisa inja yabo: into eyinqaba insimbi ephuma odakeni. Ngemva kokuqeda izimpande, bemba amathini kathayela amaningana ayebukeka emandulo, angagcwaliswanga ngamapentshisi abolile noma ogaxekile ababegcinwe ngokuyisimangaliso, kodwa izinkulungwane .Amathini ayisishiyagalombili abawamba ayenezinhlamvu zemali zegolide zekhulu le-18 ezingu-1,427. Umbhangqwana, okungaziwa ukuthi udalulwe kanjani ngoba besaba ukuthi umhlaba wabo uzodlulwa yizipoki zakudala, bathathe izintambo zabo baya kumhloli, owabazisa ukuthi iSaddle Ridge Hoard ibalulekile. Isigidi salokho kwakuvela kuhlamvu lwemali, i-1866-S No Motto Double Eagle engavamile kakhulu. "Lokhu kuzothathwa njengenye yezindaba ezinhle kakhulu emlandweni wezinto esizithandayo," kusho uDon Willis, umongameli weProfessional Coin Grading Service. Ngokubona njengoba le nto yokuzilibazisa iqoqa izinhlamvu zemali ezindala, cishe kwakungekho mncintiswano omningi, kodwa noma kunjalo.3Abangane Ababili Ngokungazi Bathenge Ibungalow Yabaculi Abadumile, Bese Thola Izigidi ZamaRandi Ezibiza Ubuciko Ngo-2007, abangani uThomas Schultz noLawrence Joseph banikezwa. ukuvakasha kwendlu encane yaseNew York elahlekile ababenethemba lokuyithenga eshibhile futhi bayilungise. Kodwa lapho behlola igalaji, bathola udoti ongajwayelekile: izinkulungwane ngezinkulungwane zemidwebo, imidwebo, nemifanekiso. Bethanda lobu buciko obungokoqobo bokulahla udoti, laba ababili bakhokhela umnikazi imali eyengeziwe engu-$2,500, efike cishe irandi ngomdwebo ngamunye. Ubucabanga ukuthi bekuyimali eshisiwe ngempela? KANJANI?!Kungenzeka awukaze uzwe ngo-Arthur Pinajian. Okokuqala umculi wezincwadi zamahlaya ngesikhathi seGolden Age of Comics, um-Armenian-American kamuva waphishekela ubizo lwakhe njengomdwebi ongabonakali, enethemba lokuba uPicasso olandelayo. Kodwa akazange akuzuze ukuhlonishwa ayekulindele, ngakho wazihlukanisa endaweni yokugcina lapho noma ubani ayengabheka iciko elihlakaniphile: eLong Island. Lapho wayehlala eshabhu yakhe yokusebenzela ubusuku nemini, esebenza kanzima engaziwa nhlobo. Waze wanikeza iziyalezo ezicacile ezihlotsheni zakhe ukuthi ngemva kokufa kwakhe, bonke ubuciko bakhe kufanele bubhujiswe. Kodwa ukususa imidwebo engu-3,000 , ngakho-ke inzalo yakhe yavele yathengisa ikotishi futhi yashiya ubuciko ukuba bubole egaraji. ibhakede likapende. Lezi kwakuyizindaba ezinhle kuSchultz noJoseph, abagcina betholile ukuthi abathenganga nje indawo kaPinajian, kodwa nefa lakhe lonke. Sekukonke iqoqo libe nenani elifika ku-, ongase ukubone njengokungaphezulu kancane kuka-$2,500. (Okungenani kancane. Futhi, asizihambi kahle ngezibalo.)2Umdobi waseCanada Uthole Inhlanhla Efihliwe Ngaphakathi Kwe-TV EphukileNgenkathi isikrini sesethi ye-TV sigcwele izimanga -- odrako! amazombi! Balki! -- ukuzulazula emathunjini akho angempela kufanele kube umsebenzi oyisicefe. Kepha hhayi kwesinye isisebenzi semboni yokugaywa kabusha kwe-TV e-Barrie, e-Ontario. Ngenkathi ediliza i-TV yakudala ngo-2017, wathola. Le ndoda (impela, ethembeke kakhulu) yatshela umphathi wayo ngomcebo, base beyidlulisela emaphoyiseni. Ngenhlanhla, leli bhokisi laliqukethe nemibhalo evumela amaphoyisa ukuthi athole umkhondo kumnikazi waso, indoda eneminyaka engu-68 ubudala eyayihlala edolobheni eliseduze nechibi eyayingazi ukuthi inani layo lehle ngezibalo eziyisithupha kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. I-Netflix yokugcina ngokuzitika nge-Netflix.Ngokomuntu osebenzisa imali enkulu oyisikhohlwa, imali kwakuyifa eliyimali elivela kubazali bakhe ayelifihle kumabonakude eminyakeni engu-30 edlule. Eqinisweni, wayeyifihle kahle kangangokuthi wayenendaba nayo. Waze wanikeza umngane wakhe isethi, owabe esechithe amashumi eminyaka egqolozele i-TV ebaluleke kakhulu ezweni ngaphambi kokulahla into endala eyayiqhumile embonini yokugaywa kabusha. Le ndoda iqinisekise amaphoyisa ukuthi ibingaboni ukuthi imali ilahlekile. ngoba wayecabanga ukuthi kufihlwe kwenye indawo endlini. Okuphakamisa umbuzo: Zingaki izimfihlo ezifihliwe lo mfana? Ingabe ulahla amabhokisi okusanhlamvu amadala agcwele ingcebo encane lapho egaywa kabusha masonto onke? Siqagela ukuthi abantu basendaweni bazokwazi uma sebeqala ukuqaphela izigqoko eziphezulu ze-hobo zemidlalo kanye nama-tuxedos.1Owesifazane Uthenge Umgexo Oyigugu Ngo-$15 Emakethe Yezinja Ngo-2005, ngenkathi eshushuluza emakethe yendawo e-Philadelphia (lokho isenzo esifanele sokuphequlula imakethe yezeze, sibheke), uNorma Ifill wabona umgexo wensimbi ongaziwa. Ngokuthathwa ukubukeka kwayo kwezizwe okusezingeni eliphezulu, ukhokhe ngenjabulo u-$15 ngesiqephu esincane esijabulisayo sobucwebe bemvunulo. Eminyakeni emithathu eyalandela, u-Ifill wayegqoka izikhathi ezimbalwa kuphela. Kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho eyithatha njenge-spin, wayeqaphela ukuthi abantu babengakwazi ukuvala amehlo abo kuyo. Phela, akuzona zonke izinsuku lapho umuntu ebona khona egqoke umgexo ka-$300,000 esosweni. U-Alexander Calder, odume ngezithombe zakhe eziqoshiwe ezenziwe ngocingo, wadalela abangani bakhe abadumile. Phakathi neminyaka yawo-1930 kanye nama-'40s, ama-debutanties ayencamela ama-twist amahle e-Calder ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi iphenti yedayimane endala eyisicefe. Futhi umgexo ka-Ifill ubungeyona i-Calder engahleliwe. Kwakungenye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu zakhe, njengoba iboniswe eMuseum of Modern Art eNew York ngo-1943. Ngo-2008, u-Ifill waya e-Philadelphia Art Museum, okwenzeka lapho ebonisa umbukiso wobucwebe waseCalder. Lapho, waqaphela ubucwebe bakhe obukhazimulayo obufana ncamashi nezingcezu ezibalulekile ezibekwe ngemva kwengilazi eqinisiwe. Wathatha umgexo wawuyisa kumqaphi wombukiso, owaqinisekisa ukuthi uyiCalder elahlekile ngempela. Ngo-2013, umgexo wafakwa endalini, wahola u-Ifill. Okusho ukuthi ... ini? ngamaphesenti angu-20 ngaphezu kwalokho akukhokhela? 30? Kungani umuntu engeke asisize?
