<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10504912, member: 37&quot;]My best buys come from smaller OOAK thrift stores.&nbsp; There are couple in smaller towns that I hit semi-regularly.&nbsp; This light fixture came from one of those. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here in town we have a large independent one but they have gone to having a &quot;botique collectibles&quot; section where they do look things up.&nbsp; They still miss quite a bit that ends up on the general racks.&nbsp; Also, the manager is a wheeler dealer, particularly if something has been out for awhile.&nbsp; It is not unheard of for him to give me half off the botique price.&nbsp; This store is my go-to place for buys and I hit it multiple times per week. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still shop Goodwill and, less-often, Habitat for Humanity but their prices have gone sky-high.&nbsp; Goodwill seldom puts anything good out at any price.&nbsp; Both Goodwill stores are in convenient locations for me so I do pop in from time to time to have a look. Habitat has kind of screwy hours that are not as convenient and is a bit out of the way. I am lucky to make it there once a month and usually walk out empty-handed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
