Hi everyone,

My name is Lisa. I live in Sacramento, CA. and although Thrift Shops have been around since the dawn of time, I am just now discovering them like the dormant addict I am. I am attempting to sell on ebay - things like designer purses, silver and jewelry BUT if I find an item that calls to me- which is often - I just keep it.

I wish I could spend my days in thoses places, discovering treasures like half eaten pizzas (lol) in containers. Nice to meet you.

Welcome!   I am late to the thrifting game too, have only been doing it for about 4 years.  I think Mattie, who posts here, is from Sacramento, maybe you go to the same stores.
Anyway, hope you find lots of good stuff!

Hi Karma, thanks for the welcome! I don't get to spend ENOUGH time in thrift shops (someone should make a reality game show (Second hand chances) where participants compete for the chance to win 30 minutes searching for bargains in an empty thrift shop LOL

I would sign up for that show!

Hi, neighbor!  What are your favorite/least favorite stores?  I love Thrift Town (all three of them) and St. Vincent de Paul on Watt Ave.  The SPCA thrift on E Street is also good.  I am not a fan of Goodwill and you'll never catch me in Salvation Army.

We've probably crossed in the aisles somewhere!

Hi Mattie, I'm up at 5:30 cuz im on UNEMPLOYMENT...LOL...long story, same story, boring story.

Thrift Town on El Camino is GREAT for purses. I bought a fake Gucci accidentally but I found a coach hobo bag for 6 bucks. Today at Goodwill on or near Fulton I found a sak.com bag (im keeping) a fossil bag i gave to a friend. Also, last week i found 2 Wild rose silver candlesticks i bought for 7 total and sold for 35 on ebay. Life is good (if only ihad more money)

On btw Mattie - I haven't run into any thrift stores that i don't really like yet. The hardest part of thrifting to me is battling the crowds who are always somehow magnitized to wherever I happen to be at the time. I love thrift town because they have oodles of purses - which i am starting to sell and I love Goodwill because I found lots of great sterling silver.
