Damn, did I just get ripped off?

Right now, in my possession, I have an autographed first edition of Rudy Giuliani's "Leadership", almost mint condition. I don't even think the spine has been cracked in the slightest.

Purchased at the local second-hand shop, on half-price Monday, for two bucks (down from original list price of four bucks). US currency.

On a brighter note, I got to educate a gentleman who was lamenting the economy. I did a number of subjects, including the "jobless/job-loss" recovery, AWOL-Deserter W, the CIA incident, the 87Billion dollar beg, etc.

Don't think I had many converts, since it seemed that this was a generally apathetic/non-bush area. There was a crowd, though.

I don't believe that too many Freeper types would be looking for stuff in a second-hand shop, since the uber-patriots are supposed to be buying all kinds of stuff new.
