There was a time when Goodwill was a good shopping spot, not today, I can't even afford paperbacks in them in Arizona.

Yes, the ARC store in Kingman has good and new clothing.

In 1970, at the Goodwill in Portland, Oregon, I was buying ladies wool skirts for 10 cents each, used them for making wool quilts and the left overs in weaving rugs.

Glad you found it interesting, laughing as I say:

[Experiment 6-2-6]

I remember back in a San Diego thrift store finding a signed and numbered (415/750) lithograph of 6 O'Clock Trolleys that I bought for $8.00, I saw a wooden frame for $5.00.

Granted the frame is still worth $5.00, the glass and matting cost me $75.00, but I cannot, for the life of me, find out who this artist is and what it's worth.

Regardless, it's the prize of my collection and I would never part with it. Unless, of course, it's worth six figures.

Nope, not even then.
