    Oh no, I don't.

    Usually the workers steal the shit and they resell it on ebay. Especially GW workers, but if they'd pay them a decent wage, they might stop. BUt I doubt it.

    I have not done that. I have some great things I've purchased over the years...one of my favorites is a beautiful vase that I got for $1 at a thrift store in northern California. I was visiting my son and that was one of things we loved to do together. So I keep that vase on my bookcase and everytime I see it, it brings back wonderful memories. I wouldn't part with that vase for any amount of money! Happy Sunday! :)

    The last thing I want to do in life is make a profit. People give me things on Freecycle and I would rather pass them on or donate them to another person in need than make a penny. I don't even take a tax deduction slip from Goodwill when I drop off stuff there.

    I believe it in the expression, receive free, give free.

    I don't go into thrift stores much.

    Whenever I pick up things in good condition at a great price, it's tempting to see what I could resell it for. The thing is that I'm usually shopping for myself (not in search of things to profit from) so I see it as getting the item for a price I probably won't find as cheap again.
