Have you shopped at Habitat for Humanity's store?

You just have to know the market price for the thing you are after before you walk in, just like any other 2nd hand store. They *all* sell some things too expensively, and some things are a steal. Doesn't matter what they sell either, building supplies, children's clothes, books, whatever. The second hand market pricing structure is a bit confusing to me, but if I know the price of the thing I am going for new, and the relative value of the thing to me, I can get good deals at restore. (and any other second-hand store for that matter.) Caveat Emptor. It is just the way things are. Doen't make them bad.
I love the habitat for humanity organization too. I think they do a good thing.

Cindyc,

Sorry, just had to jump in on this one. Habitat for Humanity is a great cause! However their resale stores are not allways as great of a thing. They do try to get volinteers to work, if they don't have any they use work release people for pennies on the dollar. The person that manages the store usually gets paid (pretty good wage). That person managing the store is as with any place what makes it good or bad. I have known a few of those managers that were the types to do ANYTHING to make their store as profitable possible, and that includes illeagal anythings. All in all the store Habitat has good intentions, and sometimes the stores have good deals, you just really need to watch what you buy.
