On the flip side, my mom volunteers at a charitable thrift store in her small town. They sell their clothes by the bag-full. One bag (as much as you can stuff in there) for $5.00. If you see something you want, you offer to pay a certain amount and the volunteer at the desk either accepts what you are willing to pay or counters with a more reasonable amount. (As in you won't get a hand-made quilt for $2.00!) If you don't like the counter price, you can haggle a little and if you still aren't happy, you can put it back. Pretty much everything is reasonable. They aren't trying to fleece the customers because most who shop there are genuinely needing the items they are purchasing and are not just bargain hunters who will resell the items they find or can afford to pay more.
