Cicero Family Thrift Store — Local services in Atlanta

Used to be one of the best but of late the prices are off the charts for simple used goods they do not have to pay for and get dropped off at their door. Ebay sellers have to pay for much of what they sell, then they have to clean it, photograph it, store it, package it and maintain a website platform. Thats a lot of work for the prices they HAVE to sell things for. Not to mention that the prices you see on ebay are not the prices the items sell for. Its the list price. Buyers have the option to pitch a bid that is always lower so you have to have an ebay account to know those actual selling prices. Also, buyers have to pay shipping costs as well. So any dummy pricing their goods at the listed prices is making a huge mistake. Resellers shop at thrift stores and the like and if you are planning to cut them out, you are losing 60% of your buyers. Thats not smart at all. In the long run, your gonna lose money. Raising prices because you think you can make more money will work for a short time but in time you will see your sales drop and profit go down. This is a ministry not a business. You are supposed to be there to help the community not fill your pockets. Give and it shall be given to you in good measure pressed down shaken together and running over. That means if you give to help others you will reap more in return. You will have to learn the hard way. Also, there are never smaller size shoes for women. They are all taken. On several occasions we have seen workers with there cars full of goods they didnt pay for leaving after hours and other days. All the good stuff is taken and gone, I know also because many good things I donate never make it to the floor. Its taken by volunteers. Especially if its new. On top of this, there is one lady that over charges me every time I come in. I haven't said anything because I know God has my back and will deal with it. They also brought back the boutique rack that anything with tags on them is sold for higher prices. Making money under the guise of the ministry...

Shhhhh, dont tell anyone...
