<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 441560, member: 27"]Ive cut several thrift shops out of my routine as their prices have gotten ridiculous,and I cant imagine if we have another recession like the last one theyll be able to sustain their markups. So many antique stores and resale shops have closed its hard to find one now. I predict thrifts will too. The last 2 generations seem to be all about everything being brand new,even if its cheap garbage that I dont see that changing anytime soon. There'll always be a niche market for antiques and collectibles as long as our generation is still kicking,but I dont know about 20 years from now. More and more Im seeing recently sought after things gathering dust (you about cant GIVE Royal Doulton ladies away now) and dont get me started on fine crystal or art pottery ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
