<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9469034, member: 37&quot;]I passed by a set of 16 Dorothy Thorpe <i>Roly Poly</i> glasses this week.&nbsp; I see on ebay that they still sell but not at the kind of prices that they used to.&nbsp; Our Goodwill prices every non-tagged glassware at $1.99 per piece and without color codes so they never go down <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mad.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Makes buying a lot of things that I might buy otherwise cost prohibitive.&nbsp; I have talked with the staff and they say it is out of their hands, as it comes from the regional office.&nbsp; They are also not allowed to bundle sets together at one price <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>As the stuff doesn&#039;t sell, it gets pulled and sent back to the regional hub where it is re-sorted for recycling or bin sales there.&nbsp; The regional hub is over an hour away from me so I have never been to their bin sales.&nbsp; One dealer I know says that they are worth attending. Just seems like a terribly inefficient way of moving merchandise. It also ends up selling a lot of things at a discount that might have brought better money if priced correctly. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, we have 2 local thrift stores that price all non-tagged glassware at 25 cents. I have found some great bargains there over the years. They do bundle sets but sometimes over-price them if they think they might be good.&nbsp; The prices will go down or they will bargain with you if something has gone unsold over a week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
