For sale, Antique CD stand

Obviously, the writer has no idea what antique actually means!

He/she is not alone. Most people assume it means the same as "old".

Oh, that things that were innovative to us are now "from the olden days"!

A support worker where I live was quizzing me on my past as a Russian linguist and asked if I'd visited Russia. I told him I had, when it was the Soviet Union. He gazed at me in wonder, as though beholding a rare and aged specimen. "You were in the Soviet Union in Brezhnev's time!!!"

I felt antique myself 🙂

That’s funny. I still occasionally see one outside our local charity shop. They’re never there long but whether that’s because someone’s bought it or because it’s gone in the skip, I don’t know.
We bought a new unit for our vinyl collection from a charity shop a few years ago.

They seem to have vanished from the charity shops near me. I could do with a wooden one to put on its side on my desk, behind the PC monitor, to keep all the bits and pieces of clutter that accumulate on the desk - if you tidy them away or throw them out they aren't there when you want them. The CD stand would have a row of cubbyholes like the ones in an antique roll-top desk, and the side (now top) of it would hold my coffee-cup and a mug full of pens and pencils. But of course, now that I have a use for one, there are none around, antique or not.

Have CD's been around that long? 🤣🤣

We often have them donated in our charity shop. They all go in the skip.

HEE hee

I had to think about that for a moment.
