<p>[QUOTE="Terence Kimble, post: 2598936, member: 16239"]I understand, about pricing strategies ripping people off for monetary gain/greed. The well to do that donate their more expensive items do so because they know where it goes when we sell it. We have a very small crew at our store, most of us are within a decade of 60yrs old. We've been around the block a few times. Just to clarify, items that we sell for peoples renovations on their homes, we sell pretty cheap...ie windows, doors, toilets even the tools to do such things we let go very cheap. The employees do the pricing, no set guidelines, and we're all fair that way. I know a few of our customers that collect antiques for resale and they still come back because we set it at a price where a profit can still be made by them. Maybe I came across the wrong way. But, I personally am not greedy and actually cut prices for people if they are really in need or interested.</p><p>That being said, thank you all for the info. I will try to find a makers mark or stamped year more tomorrow, because if someone asks about it, I like to be informed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
