Great find!
I constantly find nice things at thrift stores, it's most of my wardrobe. There are some thrift stores nearby that have a monthly bag day sale - a medium size bag full of whatever clothing you like, for 6 USD. Some great buys there! A lot of people have discovered it, though - many people go there to buy goods to resell online.
A lot of regular folks think that the reselling of thrift store items is a bad thing, but I try to explain that thrift stores have way more items than they can sell at thrift store prices. Also that the resellers are actually doing a lot of work (picking good quality items, sorting and organizing) and then providing it to a really broad online marketplace, with decent photos and often a guarantee. So it's really a win-win. That's how markets work.
Yes.
But l think you would be surprised at how many of the workers know what each item is worth.
When l brought it to the front counter, the person said l got a good item and it must have been mispriced.
I just had to tell her l was the first to find it, amd they were the ones who priced it.
She told me it was a good find nonetheless.
