For those of you in the Bradenton/ Sarasota Florida area you might want to try this place out. It's called the Bargain Barn. It's a subsidiary of Goodwill Industries. I recently came upon this store when my Mother In law got me into buying antiques and selling them at Flea Markets.
The Bargain Barn is a store that receives all the items that have not been able to sell at the Goodwill Store at their selected price. They then mark the price WAY down to make the final sale. Anything not sold for that day goes well, to the trash. Clothes for $.10, housewares for $.25, and items in a bag ( as much as you can stuff it) $1.00.
For those doing Antique hunting this is the place to go. I have spent maybe $6.00 at one time here and made a WONDERFUL turnaround. Even with E-bay. It'll amaze you what other people throw away.
It goes with eh saying... "Another Man's trash is another man's treasure".
