Pnut..I had the same issue at first, when I tried getting with Goodwill an another big store down here. Goodwill treated me like crap, an hell even insulted me..lol. So I went to the local ones, an just worked the relationship. I find the best results are with the local ones, not the big ones with a presence everywhere.

My thrift store accounts, consist of several small shops here on the sandbar an three across the bridge on the mainland. Find you a good local one that does something with the community, and just offer up your services. I have a special one here(where the router/modem came from) an I like their cause, an make sure to kick them extra when I get good loads. That extra might be anything from a dropping a 20+ in the donation jar, or dropping off several pounds of copper for them. As they do scrap some things, to help with their programs. An they love it everytime I do. Just as I love it everytime I come into pick up the huge tote I leave there.



Auminer an Parrothead also deal with thrift stores, perhaps they'll chime in an offer some hints to folks looking into getting into business with the thrift stores.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but..hey..I love my thrift stores, an if I can help folks get their own in their area, then awesomesauce.
