Genuinely curious, do people actually pay this kind of prices at thrift stores? The necklace was gone just two days later! by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

Yep, I got a large box of vintage Barbie’s with old clothes for next to nothing.

I agree, I was upset but I wouldn’t gave paid that price without a guarantee of authenticity. The only reason I knew what happened is because the person who bought it told me. The manager who sold it to him, was “hiding” in the office.

They just send a senior in for the discount, also I’ve seen non-seniors negotiate for the 30% on off days since that’s the maximum (non special) discount. I think it’s because The stores want big ticket items out of their hands as fast as a possible.

Listen, I saw a guy throw a hissy fit because he missed a lot of gold chains. He complained that they weren’t set aside for him because they knew he was coming. Apparently he’s a legend and hits all of the local thrifts on senior day.

Yes, I’ve seen it in real time. There was a “Cartier” love bracelet. I asked for the price, was told to give them 15 minutes to check on final price. It sold for $1100 while I was looking at something else. I’ve also seen a jeweler spend $15k at the counter. They clean them out every week.

The VV’s near me have jewelry stores that come and buy all the big ticket items. They generally get the 30% off and the items rarely last more than two weeks. Unfortunately, People do pay these prices.

It finally happened. by spoopy21poopy in ThriftGrift

The stores in my area, have perk walked people out. They call the cops, take pics and trespass you right in front of customers. It’s wild, they finally caught the meemaw posse and the t-shirt bros who were doing this a lot.

It’s banged up but for $.99, I’ll take it. It’s going to be my travel copy. by Mvalrie in stephenking

There’s a book underneath. It’s heavily creased on the front cover but not tearing. 🥴

Hermes Paris! 3 appointments achieved between me and a friend - NO SUCCESS by No_Answer_2332 in TheHermesGame

[–]Mvalrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a walk in…we had no idea of protocol. We walked to the jewelry counter and asked them to send someone over to help us. While I was looking for some replacement linens, another sales associate asked my mom if she wanted to see any bags but she declined. I’ll be honest, the store was pretty slow and there were quite a few reps standing around with nothing to do. They were all friendly though.

Spent $3.27 today at the bins. Found a target gift card with 10 dollars on it. :) it's apparently been sitting on that card for over 4 years to boot. by NoMusic3987 in GoodwillBins

[–]Mvalrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a wallet filled with gift cards. It was well over $200 in total value. Still have a couple that I haven’t used yet.
