Marketing Genius

Sometimes, the best marketing is to be direct. Reach out and talk to your intended customer. Hard Off is a second hand store. It's just two stories of pawn shop stuff. I would almost rather be caught going into a porn shop than spotted frequently at Hard Off. Hey that gives me an idea for the name of porn shop.

Incidentally, across the street from Hard Off was a very small second hand store. It actually had better stuff. I saw one thing that I wanted to buy. It was a rock paperweight in the shape of Texas. J-Pop and Ma would've loved it. I concentrated, cleared my head, and asked "How much does this cost?" This brought some considerable action in my direction. The shop owner hurried over and began teaching me a few new words. He also excitedly pointed at his calendar.
I said "Ahh.. I see."
With that being settled, he then proclaimed, "California!"
I replied, "Nope. Texas."
He answered, "Ah... I see."
So many things in that junk store (including some old porn dvds I could use to open my new store) and the only thing I wanted to buy was not for sale.
