Title: Do you shop at the second=hand stores?
Post by: Jsnugs on August 25, 2021, 01:42:00 pm: I do go through the stores I search for stuff, some times items are good enough for gifts for friends. Have you found any mysteries in a second-hand stores?

Post by: haimsterette on September 21, 2021, 08:12:36 pm: Years ago I was a snob about buying second-hand (I have no idea why, and am awfully ashamed of it now), but now it's practically the only way I'll make a purchase for books, movies, clothes, etc. I'm lucky enough that Plato's Closet is right across the street, and 2nd & Charles (not everything new, but plenty of it!) is only about 20 minutes' walk away. I frequent these both quite a lot and feel a lot better about finding things at a bargain, plus making wiser purchasing choices for the planet (and neither stores use plastic bags! :highfive: )
