Habitat For Humanity Restore — Local services in Homosassa Springs

It's okay if you don't mind spending a lot of money for second hand merchandise given for free! Yes this place is funding for building homes for people which is great for those less fortunate, but I personally feel you'd sell more if prices weren't priced like you owned a boutique, antique, or pawn shop. Your pricing by going on some website and price matching when some items you could buy brand new for prices your asking or go up the road further and get some of same items cheaper as I have ex.
