[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 510195, member: 147"]I got so tired of aggressive shoppers that I gave up on waiting on line for estate and church sales years ago. For that reason I do not stand on line at thrift openings either. Like verybrad, I go at different time a couple of times a week to thrifts and I go to estate and church sales an hour or so after they open. I know I may be missing out on some good items, but I just can't take being pushed and run over anymore. I also can't stand the people who grab everything then sit in the corner and sort through their pile to decide what they want to take. There is one church sale I do stand on line for. They have all the jewelry in a room with two doors. When the IN door opens they allow about ten shoppers in the room. As we finish and leave by the OUT door they allow more shoppers in. That I can deal with, though you should hear the griping coming from people waiting at the IN door :oops: Anyway, I "pay" for the privilege of being one of the first in by standing on line for an hour in the November cold![/QUOTE]
