3.5. Re: The Wizard of Odds: Las Vegas Casino Blacklist
Date: Sun Feb 3, 2008 5:21 pm ((PST))Let's look at your argument: Drycleaners, TV repair shops, etc. have
actual physical space concerns. You can't just drop off a dozen suits
for dry cleaning, and for $12 each, expect them to be stored for a
year. Ditto a repair shop for TV's or other electronic items. I'd say
the same is true for an automobile left at a repair shop. It would be
fair for a "Storage Fee" to be charged weekly, and once the storage fee
exceeds the value of the item the item becomes property of the shop
owner. That's standard practice most places in the country (mechanic's
lien, etc.)
A little off-topic, but a helpful hint that's a little like the "store your clothes" above:
I once read that most upholstery cleaning services that pick up and deliver will pick up from one address and deliver to another -- a useful thing to know when moving from one home to another in the same city!
Get your furniture cleaned, and that much less to pay the movers for moving!
Also might work if you buy a piece of used upholstered furniture from someone and it's your job to get it home.
