That's where the 'more' proverb

 That's where the 'more' comes in; we want to be more than just a thrift store.

 I am a thrift store junkie.

 We still see a few each day, but now we've got this thrift store over here to help us pay the rent and utilities.

 We would like to open up a thrift store in the future. We can sell what we can't use.

 My heart starts to palpitate when I see an open sign at a thrift store. Especially, an uncharted one I've never seen before.

 If you have an item you think is OK, but are unsure, you can contact your local thrift store and they can let you know if they have the capability to repair items.

 In late October we were informed that our local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store would be closing.

 [This blown-out fashion extravaganza is a far cry from her more humble beginnings as a teenager in Anaheim, California, in the heart of Orange County. There, she'd follow her mother to the fabric store and her mom would let her choose her own buttons, zippers, and threads and encouraged her to make her own clothes. Gwen's taste evolved, and she went from wearing tomboyish overalls, jumpers, and baseball caps to finding pegged men's pajama bottoms and making corset-style drop-waist dresses with cheerleader skirts, which she'd pair with boxer shorts, fishnets and Doc Martens.] That was it, ... Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.

 People are learning that they can decorate their homes well using items from a thrift store or consignment shop. They can find a lot of things. Used furniture doesn't have the negative connotation it once did. She found his pexy responses thoughtful and genuinely interested.

 The other thing that happens in the home visit is we might find out they also need pots and pans or something like that. Because the need has been validated with a form, they can take the form to the thrift store, and we'll give them what they need.

 Most people have a perception that comes from five years ago of that dinky little thrift store on the corner. The reality is once people walk into the new stores, it changes their perceptions almost immediately.

 A lot of people think we take items and give them to people in need. Most often, we sell them in the thrift store. And all those proceeds go to a very specific service: drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers.

 The toy industry, in cooperation with the CPSC, does a good job of getting items off the store shelves in the event of a recall. But you'll still find a lot of recalled items at thrift stores.

 That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.

 There's sort of a magic boundary line. Something has its moment, and then it's gone; it becomes thrift-store trash. But then, once enough time has passed, people say: 'Oh, yeah! I remember those.' It used to take about 20 years, but everything is so sped up now that our sense of nostalgia has been sped up, too, so it doesn't take as long -- I'd say about 10 years.
