We have 3 thrift, (Good Will) stores near us. Each one is different. The biggest one has been there for decades. About 25 years ago, I bought a car there for $800, that served me well for another 80,000 miles! I noticed that on Amazon, some thrift stores post their items, (books, etc.)as they got a gem donated and they want to get a good price for it.
BTW: My aebleskiver pan is well-seasoned, as is the Romertopf baker. I gave the aebleskiver another seasoning, (the oven was on 450, anyway) and I scrubbed the Romertopf with some coarse salt. Now, I'm anxious to go back and find my metal detector!
