<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pearlsnblume, post: 262644, member: 141&quot;]The thrift shops around here used to be the best. We have a large community of older folks in the area so there is vintage or older stuff to be had when donated.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then the people running the thrift shops changed hands and so the prices went up beyond belief and the stock did not turn over due to prices... nothing was moving yet they still stick to this dumb policy.</p><p>A run of the mill clear vase that FTD would send a person with their flowers suddenly was $15... and that was just the tip of the iceberg.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus they look on ebay to see what the prices are, not the sold prices but the</p><p>listing prices and slap that price on an item no matter the condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thrift shop, if they smiled their faces would crack. They are sour as can be.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is now pretty rare to find anything at the thrift shops here. Very disappointing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find most of my stuff at estate sales and sometimes at garage and yard sales.</p><p>So I have to be up at the crack of dawn to get in before all the good stuff is gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t found anything outstanding of late at all, but I keep on truckin.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
