This is Good News Tuesday: Fifty Inch Lamps, and a Free Skateboard Hook

Every Good News Tuesday starts the same way: real listener stories, some big, most small. This week opens with a Calgary skate shop owner who walked out to his car for a nail and some zip ties rather than sell an unnecessary hook, then handed the whole fix over for free.   From there it swings into an inflight bidding war over cherub lamps that ends with someone accidentally winning a completely different pair, fifty inches tall, lampshades and all. There is also a steal of a deal on a chair from a couple who turned out to already listen to the show, and a reminder that thrifting luck tends to build the more you do it.   Text 71010 anytime to send in your own good news, big or small.   Topics: Good News Tuesday, auction wins, small business story, thrifting deals, listener good news   Originally aired on 2026-08-11
