You must be pretty old. Are you the guy who started this thread?

I guess if I came from that era, I could understand why you would want to buy new. Back then though, it was made locally, made better, and the price wasn't too bad. However, I am not from that generation, so I take anything and everything secondhand / garbage picked because I'm thrifty and like to save money. My generation and the ones after me can't afford shit these days.
>'time capsule house'
Those are always neat to see. I weep for when the house gets sold and some asshat with no taste renos it all removing the good fixtures and other such things and replaces it all with inferior, foreign made things.
I will say though that there are a few oldschool things I do not like, like tiled kitchen countertops. Just not a good choice.

That is green! Too much carpet for my taste. I moreso like "warm" colors. Yellows, browns, oranges, etc..
There is a woman nearby to me that lives in a townhouse complex built in the late 1970s and she has been there since 1985. She's in her early 80s. Her place has alot of stairs so I wonder how much longer she will be there. I bet her place is a time capsule of sorts. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the listing photos when it goes up for sale.

I bet that chair got sold at a garage sale for pennies back in the early to mid 1990s and now it would be worth more money.
