Help answer this question below.
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.
Sure do. Capitalism baby!
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.
I refurbish hideous furniture from Thrift Stores and Make them beautiful.
Do you go to "Consignment Stores"?

For those of you who shop at thrift stores. What is the most you would ever pay for a used pair of jeans and a shirt? (Say it is in good condition)

You're reading Do you ever buy things from the thrift store with the intent to resell them at a profit?

It's tempting to think that the typical GW worker isn't smart enough to do that.
