What's going on in the thrift stores? Come thrift with me and find out...
So, I recently took a trip to a few thrift stores and I have to say it was quite an experience. I was surprised to find that the shelves were almost empty and the prices were higher than I expected. I mean, I get that some items are worth more, but dated nightstands and little vintage desks were $100's dollars... what!? It seems like more people are thrifting nowadays, and I think the stores are taking advantage by raising their prices.
Despite the high prices and packed stores, I did manage to find a couple of cute items. I found a little entry table for $65, a lamp for $20, and a dresser that could be repurposed for an entryway. I also came across a brass lamp that I really liked, but the line was too long, so I put it on hold. Should I go back for it or not?
At another store, I was disappointed to find that the shelves were almost completely empty. I'm not sure what was going on there, but it was a real letdown. At the last thrift store, I found a few Studio McGee items that were priced lower than what they would be in the store, but still a bit more expensive than I would have liked.
Have you noticed the high prices and empty shelves at thrift stores lately? Do you think it's because more people are thrifting? Let me know in the comments below...
