[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 510618, member: 85"]I don't go to thrifts very often any more. Have too much stuff to get rid of. However, our local thrift has really good prices. The manager who has been there for years, for the most part prices really fair. He knows many of the antique dealers buy from him and he wants their business. The idea is to move the stuff out. They get so many donations they even donate a lot of the clothes to other groups who send clothes to other countries. Anyway, I used to go specifically on the night before half price. There were a couple of dealers who would hide the things they wanted to get at half price. Usually they were there before I would get there. After they left, I would hunt the stuff out and either buy it at full price or move it to the shelf it belonged on. For some reason their hiding stuff to get a better deal just irked me to no end. Needless to say we were not on the best of terms. Neither of them are still in business.[/QUOTE]
