When I shop for items, I am attracted first by the quality of the material and the style. The bottom line is important but not the major deciding factor. I happen to have a gift of fine taste, nice things and can identify them easily. You need that talent and gift to be a treasure hunter. I buy all the items I sell from charitable thrift stores, and donation centers. It means that your purchase is financing a charitable organization and the underpriviledged people it help and represents. I have a full time job and do this online business on my spare time as a hobby. I believe that "one man's garbage in another man's treasure". I use the word "I" alot because this is a single person business. It is only me. So, I am the buyer, the cleaner, the photographer and the listing person. However, the purchase of one item at $20 goes along way to feed an orphan or a poor old person in Uyoma-Kenya. 50% of our earning go to help the people of this poor region of the world.
