<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 2632205, member: 1262&quot;]When I was at one of our local thrift stores this weekend that supports an animal rescue I saw them opening up one of their big overhead garage doors in their showroom and wheeling out a large and very ugly hutch from the 1980&#039;s era to a waiting truck.</p><p><br /></p><p>The particular hutch had been sitting in the furniture section of their showroom for at least 5 years and they had marked it down from $300 to $200 to $100 to $75 and then finally $50 in recent weeks. A young couple in their early twenties bought it along with a kitchen table that the thrift store had also deeply discounted due to it also being &quot;stale&quot; merchandise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Glad to see them sell those items. Though for sure they would become permanent fixtures since they were so large and bulky and aesthetically hideous.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To add to the list in the OP.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Entertainment Centers: They are big and bulky and never seem to sell. A product of a bygone age where lots of storage space was needed to stash a mammoth monstrosity of a television and the associated electronics that went with it. Now with large flat screen televisions being much thinner, lighter, and being able to be mounted on a wall with minimal effort these entertainment centers have seen their usefulness fade. </p><p><br /></p><p>6. Upholstered Furniture: Chairs, Loveseats, and Sofas. Unfortunately our area has a serious bedbug problem which likely scare many potential buyers away. One of our local thrifts has a whole section dedicated to the rattiest examples of these to be found in the tri-state area, they must have 30+ of them and I&#039;ve never seen anyone looking at them or anywhere close to buying one. They just sit taking up square footage for years on end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
