The Five Warning Signs of Thrift Store Obsessiveness

1. You begin to recognize the antique dealers and professional buyers that pick through the used items at your favorite stores so they can resell them for one thousand percent markup at their own high end stores.

2. Your garage is starting to look like a warehouse for vintage lamp shades.

3. The used bookstore dealer calls you to ask for a specific title.

4. You have storage bins of childrens clothes…sorted by size, color and gender.

5. You have trouble finding what you need because you have so many storage bins of used books, clothes, and décor items.
