[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 510279, member: 141"]I was standing in line recently at an estate sale and this lady and I started chatting. Turns out she works at the local thrift near me, but in the office not on the floor. She asked me what I thought of it. I gave her an ear full. Prices too high. no turnover in merchandise, people who volunteer in store look like they are crazy mad all the time etc. Turns out she agreed with me on everything. Shame as when I first started going there about 10 years ago, the finds were bountiful and reasonable. Now junk is priced like it is gold. Things are sitting there for months if not years on the shelves. They also look up everything on eboo and they have been vocal that they don't like resellers as we make too much money and that is why they raised their prices. :confused:[/QUOTE]
