<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 203397, member: 83&quot;]Happy Saturday everyone!&nbsp;&nbsp; I went out for a full day of pickin&#039; on Thursday... this month and next, I had/have one day scheduled each month to go an area I never visit in our State and see what I find.&nbsp; I ended up visiting five different thrifts and did OK.&nbsp; I wanted to also note (piggybacking of the comment above), that in general, much of our area is lower income and many folks can&#039;t afford higher prices at the thrifts. I have noted that in the past month all the local GW&#039;s are putting the antique sets and partial sets of old dishes in the case with sheets from eBay, Replacements and others sites at crazy prices.&nbsp; $79.97 for ONE soup bowl and $69.97 for four saucers - SAUCERS.&nbsp; I paid $140. for a 120 piece set a few months back and they were shocked as people can&#039;t afford that here generally. Good luck with the new prices.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thankfully I have tons of inventory (118 sealed boxes alone before the racks upon racks to list).&nbsp; I&#039;ll be OK. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; GW is supposed to help people.&nbsp; But saucers at $70.00?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t buy anything at GW that day but did find some stuff at other stores.&nbsp; It is hard to see, but I just wanted to share a bigger group photo.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Everything all together cost about $127.00.&nbsp; I should make about $265.00 profit, not bad for a day out. </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite three pieces include a Noritake Royal Orchard Souffle - Excellent condition.&nbsp; Paid .25, retailing online for $80.00-100.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be happy with half of that. </p><p><br /></p><p>A nice Belleek cake plate with the red mark and some gorgeous Prov Sace Germany Candleholders with two butterflies on each holder.&nbsp; Someone will love these.&nbsp; On the table, what I found that day included the Kreiss lady, tiki mug, Prov Sace set, vintage beer glass and the belleek (all in front).&nbsp; Everything else is carp I&#039;ve cleaned for listing - sorry for the mess/confusion.&nbsp; Sorry for the doggie toys in the picture.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been slow to list as last week the record collection officially went out the door (1 truck, 2 cars) to its new home and we all had the ice/snow.&nbsp; We are fortunate right now be near 70.&nbsp;&nbsp; It won&#039;t last.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have a nice day!&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170112_161000471.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170112_161018983.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
