Yup. When I first started going to thrift stores during the GO-GO 90's
people would say "eew, you buy used clothing!" There used to be great
bargains. Now that everyone is going to thrift stores the prices of
clothes has gone up, especially coats which are almost the same price
as new ones. Also, housewares has gone sky high. But then I'd rather
spend more money for old USA-made housewares than new Chinese made
crap.

A few years ago, we'd typically find paperbacks at 50 cents. Now it's
hard to find them at $1 as some are charging $2.

I wonder if Craigslist has reduced the amount of stuff
in thrift stores?

My wife almost lives at thrift stores. She says prices are up, but
the patronage is down, if anything.
That's just a snapshot around here.
Maybe prices are higher because of less business?
