I Won a Jukebox! What would you do with this?
GrandmaNewt Intermediate NV Member since 6/5/10 Posts: 303	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/1/12 3:19 PM I won a rather cool looking jukebox through an online drawing. I don't expect it to be delivered for another 4 weeks or so, so plenty of time to figure out what I am going to do with it. Looking around my house, I could squeeze it in somewhere. But do I really need it or should I sell it? Although it looks like a jukebox, it is actually a 10 cd changer/Ipod dock/amfm stereo. I could put it in my office, but if I want music in there I already have my computer for that. It would fit in the living room, but I'm never in that room. I could put it in my sewing room, but once again, there is already a stereo in there. Room in my bedroom or guest room , but thats two pretty useless places for a jukebox. I could sell it although probably for much less than its retail value. I does look cool so I am tempted to keep it. What would you do if you were me?

Then, either sell it or consider donating it. And, of course, if it finds a happy place in your home, keep it. We need to freshen up a little of this and that every now and then. -- Edited on 9/1/12 6:01 PM -- ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

Date: 9/1/12 6:21 PM If I weren't going to keep it for myself, I would probably donate it to a charity which provides a safe harbor for teens, such as a Boys' or Girls' Club, or a church which gives teens a non-alcoholic gathering place. It is really adorable, but I wouldn't have room for it (I need room for fabric), and I can see kids really liking it. ------ Barb

Adding on to it -- you might get more value if you donate as a raffle item for your local humane society/high school band/etc. They often need a 'cool' item to suck people into the raffle, and this is definitely an eye-catcher. I'm not sure about a church though -- the ones I'm familiar with already have sound systems for teen dances if they do that sort of thing -- a jukebox may go unused. What about a senior center? Many seniors still know how, and like to dance, a jukebox could liven up their dances too. ------ Needle Needle Straight and Slim, Dust and Sweep the House for Him! --Grimm Fairy Tales

If you do, keep it! If not, sell it. Or donate it (youth shelter? women's shelter? group home? the list goes on). ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/
