Do you shop thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales? I have. I don't have a problem with it.
Caitlyn works at SA and she is constantly bringing home things she has bought.
She just added this to her collection.
Yes. That is a Louis Vuitton beside it and a Michael Kors below it.
When I was working at Goodwill, I found a collector's Skynyrd double album complete with autographed sleeve and an autographed KISS album and jacket.
Sold them for $200.
Have you stumbled across a treasure?

I remember a set of silver candlesticks we got on a truck at Goodwill.
They were nice and heavy and heavily tarnished. I don't think anyone knew what they were or they would have been sold for the silver.
They were marked $10 each.
Someone bought them while I was on lunch trying to cash my check so I could buy them.

I haven't but I have a friend who makes the rounds weekly between all the thrift shops and Goodwill. She has found quite a few brand name handbags, expensive jeans and just really good deals. For a while she would then turn around and sell it to the resale clothes shops and make a profit.
I don't mind shopping there, but I don't have the patience or interest in browsing all the time.
I think a lot of times, when the really nice stuff comes in, the family is cleaning out after someone has died.

I haven't found any treasures that I sold for a profit. But I have found things at yard and garage sales that I bought where the sellers had no idea what they were selling and it's value.
My mom is BRILLIANT at finding cool stuff. I on the other hand "think" I find a treasure, get it home and think "what the heck was I thinking? This is garbage."
