I have walked out and never returned to the places that were like that. I LOVE the flash cards!! That is something I have searched for and never found-I'll keep looking! :)Bargain Hunting Treasure Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357232422400947985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-54475111554253924162013-07-30T05:15:34.607-05:002013-07-30T05:15:34.607-05:00First off, I think if you put BLADDERWORT in a fan...First off, I think if you put BLADDERWORT in a fancy spray painted gold frame, someone would buy it. Secondly, I'm glad you had the Breadman there for you because you are too nice. I would have left the lot on the counter and said "Reseller or not, one thing I am not today is a customer in here. Now, which one is the manager?"EMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184610448953398696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-72746195594180801612013-07-29T14:26:31.588-05:002013-07-29T14:26:31.588-05:00I never even knew there were red scrabble tiles!
A...I never even knew there were red scrabble tiles!<br />As far as that clerk, she should not care for what purpose you are making your purchase. It is none of her business PLUS she should be politley thanking you for making a purchase at all. She does, after all, work for a charity and they should be happy when anyone buys something for any reason.

I had a lady at my last yard that I know is a picker for her friends. If they have time, energy and desire to mess with shows and online selling, then more power to them. I just wanted it gone, I know what I paid for the stuff and I know I made a profit on each item, so I was happy.oliveoyl64https://www.blogger.com/profile/08043694366488352015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-48443629355620721912013-07-29T09:05:14.603-05:002013-07-29T09:05:14.603-05:00I hate it when they 'comment' on your stuf...I hate it when they 'comment' on your stuff and say things about reselling.

You're too nice to. :-) I have been working on something that looks JUST LIKE those little wooden circles-- found them at 410 Vintage for 50 cents each about a month ago. I don't know if they're curtain thingys or not. The woman at the register said they had tiles in them before the vendor took them out. I'm trying to come up with clever things to frame in them but so far have only two completed. I need a jump start to my creativity these days! LOVE the flash cards, of course!

Sometimes I feel like the clerks at Goodwill are trying to make me feel guilty for buying things that are "vintage" and "worth a lot of money". So what? If it's so great then buy it yourself! That is my rant for the day:-)<br /><br />~EricaThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-76696391344396747152013-07-29T07:57:33.447-05:002013-07-29T07:57:33.447-05:00This is my first time commenting on your blog. Ho...This is my first time commenting on your blog. However, I have been following it for about a year. I found it through a link on another blog, then lost it when your domain name was hijacked. A little sleuthing and I found you once again. Yay! <br /><br />Your post today has me thinking about the attitude toward resellers, etc. and I just wanted to add my thoughts on the subject (the ones suitable for print). <br /><br />I prefer to call myself a dabbler, rather than a dealer (as we are referred to by the thrift store staff in my neck of the woods). And, never a hoarder. There are no dead animals in my home. Which, I believe is the common thread in most of the hoarding shows. But, I digress.<br /><br />As a collector of many things, I try to sell enough to support my habit. A part of the pleasure of collecting for me is researching the history of items. I have gained a wealth of knowledge as I follow the clues to discover more about an object. <br /><br />As for full time dealers? My hat is off to them. It takes time and a lot of work to turn a profit from reselling. Let people scoff all they want at resellers. I may just have a few t-shirts printed up that proclaim, "Dealer. Deal with it." But on second thought, maybe not. I don't want to give the competition notice. Hah. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517219305422233363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-22076302262970624782013-07-29T07:14:37.529-05:002013-07-29T07:14:37.529-05:00nice. nice. nice.

You can sell it if you want to, you bought it and that makes it yours. The charity gets the money you paid for it, which should be the only thing that matters to them. Would it make any difference to them if you stuffed it in the trash instead of reselling it? It shouldn't.Otter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150285495175373444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-6384339194984059202013-07-29T00:22:06.129-05:002013-07-29T00:22:06.129-05:00Bladderwort...isn't that "he who shall no...Bladderwort...isn't that "he who shall not be named" older brother?<br />Good finds and you kept your cool when that nosy old bitty.....well you know!!annabel52https://www.blogger.com/profile/02550519723828922433noreply@blogger.com
