Thrift Store or Walmart

Today I went to a thrift store that I stopped going to a few months ago.  They used to sell video game cartridges for $1.99 or so and I could usually find some decent ones for my collection.  Game consoles were $4.99 to $9.99 depending on how many controllers and goodies they packaged up with them.  Now, games are $2.99 to $4.99 and their consoles are rediculous.  A Super Nintendo is $59.99 and a original Nintendo is 49.99 and same prices for Nintendo 64’s.   They have an original grey Game boy with the green screen that barely bring 5 to 10 bucks online for $19.99, it is “CRAZY”, it drives me nuts.  I understand this thrift store is supposed to be working for a charity, and making as much money for them as possible,  but I can’t find what charity they are working for.  All their items are donated and they have eBay setup in the back looking up prices of everything.  Their shelves are so cluttered you can’t even see anything, stuff just piled up on top of each other.  The reason for this is, their prices.  Well, today was great, I was standing near the registers and noticed this elderly fellow buying a brass kick plate for a door.  I heard him talking and getting louder when all of a sudden he yells out, “Did I walk into a thrift store, or a F***ing Walmart”,  he went on to explain to the cashier, which has no control over the prices, that he would purchase a lot more if their prices were lower and he can buy the exact same things brand new at Walmart.  I laughed all day about him flipping out.  Some people just don’t care.  I will try and get pictures of this place, it’s nuts.
