They often have no damn clue what they’re selling and clearly just make up prices on the spot. I’ve flipped a few things for a 500%+ profit from the super-ultra-Jesus-ey thrift stores. Computer hardware in particular is something they just don’t grasp the value of. If you ever need a managed switch or a spare monitor, check the thrift stores.
Got Wii Sports for $1 at a thrift store like that, whereas their glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise). Unfortunately, at least where I live, the odds of computer stuff showing up are few and far between.

Lol, my friend is always on the lookout for “pro-life” thrift stores, apparently they have the best deals. (BC)

They have stickers which tell you they’re cheaper than eBay when that’s actually not the case? Isn’t that illegal?
ehhh, just a bit illegal
It’s only false advertising if they can’t find a single ebay listing with a higher price.
At least, if they worded it carefully like, “cheaper than ebay!”
Here in my country every op shop is overpriced and you never find a bargain.
Germany?
