[Ct-nfb] need recommendations

Aloha Joanna, et. al,
I want to offer a link to the NFB Independence Market page: https://ecommerce.nfb.org/asp/default.asp
The NFB Independence Market, located within our national headquarters, is a place where we sell things at-cost, and the products we sell there have some sense of validity because we are a group of blind consumers running a store for ourselves. Even if the market doesn't have something you want, I strongly encourage you to communicate what your desires are so that the market can consider carrying such a product.
I also saw mention of Maxi-Aids, and I want to offer something on them. They are no longer invited to NFB national conventions as an exhibitor because they got in trouble for selling used products as "New," as if they thought blind people were too dumb to figure it out. I don't use them at all because of that. Even if I got a decent product, I have to maintain some sense of dignity.
I also have gone to Independent Living Aids in the past, but calling my friends at the NFB Independence Market is always step one for me.
Take care,
Justin

Hi Eileen,
Thanks so much for the info. I have to get a new watch almost every 9 months! My husband will help me look at these sites.

Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommendation of where I can purchase a good quality talking watch that is not sporty but dressy?
Also, does anyone know of exercise videos that have descriptive video with it?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Joanna
