<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 127331, member: 878&quot;]Thanks for reminding me. When I found a great $3 table lamp at an estate sale which I had wanted for a long time I went to the old Goodwill location for a suitable shade. Had an idea that they might be high priced so went across the street to Walmart. Found a perfect shade under $10. Half GW&#039;s price, and it was wrapped in cellophane, nice and clean.</p><p>~[ATTACH=full]32510[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p>Ola. Was that the table they had on Antiques Road Show a few weeks ago? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, maybe my memory box&#039;s low battery, I know of no local charity thrift shops besides Goodwill. Maybe once a year a group of volunteers looking for donations to &quot;tag sales.&quot; I&#039;ll donate and then go and spend what I can on usable items.</p><p><br /></p><p>The phone ones I&#039;ll hang up on, or tell off depending on my mood when answering are the POLICE Benefits. Used to donate until I found out those are unauthorized groups who actually will donate a percentage of what they collect --- but that&#039;s never over 10%. The other 90% goes towards their &quot;overhead expenses!!!!!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of my business, Habitat for Humanity was recipient of many donations. I&#039;ve witnessed their exceptionally good work. Many times, instead of sending Christmas gifts to numerous business partners I&#039;d donate to Habitat in their name and HfH would notify them of it. The only problem with HfH is that they can only fulfill a bit of what&#039;s really needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
