I don't buy from thrift shops or yard sales anymore. I seldom buy anything used like I use to. A bedbug problem can cost thousands of dollars and disruption to your life to get over. Some may not be around long enough to breed in the home some do. My friend picked some up at a hotel and it took her almost a year for her house to be completely free of them. She felt like burning it down. It is becoming a big problem even in small towns.
