MODERATORS
For religious people they're sure eager to sell used "personal massagers" for $10.
Also, frankly, here in the Reno area it's basically impossible to find a thrift store that's not run by incredibly religious wackadoos. Best you can do is Goodwill, which is far from irreligious. Salvation Army is one of the few that isn't blasting Jesus Rock on the speakers when you're in there.
Makes sense. Nevada's got a certain reputation because of Vegas, but folks forget about how it's also next to/inside the Mormon belt.
Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.
Lol, my friend is always on the lookout for "pro-life" thrift stores, apparently they have the best deals. (BC)
They often have no damn clue what they're selling and clearly just make up prices on the spot. I've flipped a few things for a 500%+ profit from the super-ultra-Jesus-ey thrift stores. Computer hardware in particular is something they just don't grasp the value of. If you ever need a managed switch or a spare monitor, check the thrift stores.
Got Wii Sports for $1 at a thrift store like that, whereas their glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise). Unfortunately, at least where I live, the odds of computer stuff showing up are few and far between.
They have stickers which tell you they're cheaper than eBay when that's actually not the case? Isn't that illegal?
ehhh, just a bit illegal
It's only false advertising if they can't find a single ebay listing with a higher price.
At least, if they worded it carefully like, "cheaper than ebay!"
Here in my country every op shop is overpriced and you never find a bargain.
Germany?
You guys don't have Value Village/Savers?
I love how when Christians aren't charitable they are called hypocrites and when they are people complain that they are "religious wackadoos", lol.
You can act according to your faith and still be a nice and accepting human being. Doing charity only as a promotional device would be a negative for conscience at least.
It's not "only as a promotional device", though.
I mean I guess they're using the "charity" to generate personal cash as well
