Wood looks nice and dry. I also get my Christmas Trees here every year. They are sturdy smell good and last a while!! Side note today 12/4/18 I went to get my yearly tree and the place has changed hands..the former owners would help with the tree, cut the bottom, and wrap it and help place the tree on your vehicle if needed. This time they didn't do any of that. They have only been the new owners for a week or 2 so I'm sure they have to figure things out but I can already see the difference from going here for a few years now. I'm not sure what I'll be doing next year.

They didn't know and couldn't find the price anywhere. So that was a lost sale. Then I bought something with $5 as their sign requested but they didn't have any $1s for change.

If you've ever wanted to build your own radio, this is the place for you. There were also very cheap old PC components, perfect for restoration projects. There were fewer Apple components (as I would expect) but they were still very reasonably priced and in good condition for the most part. My only qualm was with the venders. For the most part they were kind and helpful, mostly nerdy in a charming way. There were, however, at least three instances where venders made very sexist, condescending remarks, such as "you should find a boyfriend who can teach you engineering," or "this isn't the place for a nice girl like you, with all these electronics!" Usually I could forgive this, and in all cases I informed them that I was in fact an engineer despite being a woman (a radical concept, I know), but in all cases, when I asked the prices of different components they gave me ones that were significantly higher than usual. I decided to do an experiment; I had my friend (a guy) go to one of the same venders and ask the price of the same component and the vender's price for him was lower (only by like two dollars, but still).
