guess it might be nice a lot of thrift shop workers don't know some things. i buy bulk lego bricks sometimes and about 10% of the lots are lego knockoff bricks. if it was 100% true lego bricks and a thrift shop worker knew, i might not get as good of deal on the lot.
difference between thrift and "antique". antique know their value. thrift is usually a charity and doesn't particularly care. at least that's my experience. i've probably told this before here, but it reminds me of the time the X bought a ww 2 millitary shirt at a thrift shop for 2 bucks. sold it at a gun show for 149$$. often the value is only realized by those who collect.

rsmath @rsmath
just to add, they are asking well over 100 for that box online. I still don't think it would SELL for that much. The etsy sellers are asking for @150 for it (there are several up there atm).

ETA: here's mine (exactly) sold on ebay for 79.00
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2039195410...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
didn't realize they were that small! i was thinking we were looking at a 5" or so bobblehead-sized figurine.

if sold for $80 w/free ship, i figure its $55 cleared after fees that you could put into your crafting fund. at its size, it looks cute enough to keep.

i'm seeing videos of people complaining thrift shops are no longer as good of place to source items to flip, so i do think they care to try starting to sell at comps less some percentage off if they have a volunteer who happens to have some idea of the collector price rather than just lowball price it. if they can get a better price, it's more money for the charity.

they are raising prices around here for sure. I still get great stuff, that lenox set I got for 40.00 was a steal. (McKinley pattern)

But it's much more hit or miss (the women who run my 'favorite' thrift stores really know the value of what they are selling).

Concise @Concise
notice you've been a Swagbucks person for some time here.
Is it worth the effort? Curious what range of reward monthly, could be.
I hear mixed reviews,
and just was working with FreeCash app, [that ended up being more time than worth, uninstalled recently]
I appreciate you posting codes for people here

I’m not a HUGE swager I do the easy passive stuff that takes just a minute here and there like grocery coupons, the swag codes, the occassional deal deal for signing up for stuff, Swagbucks Live (trivia quizz) and occasionally I will get a Remesh - on average $10 a month
