Stuff not sold at yard sales has been making it to GW. The local GW donation room is stacked to the ceiling (no kidding). What do they bring out on their little cart, plastic bowls, one large stuffed animal and 2 decks of playing cards. Well GW needs to use those cards cause someone is not playing with a full deck. Also I was looking at a broken down entertainment center, price $54.45. GW manager says we have a dolly for you take the cabinet with you, being the smart a$$ that I am sometimes, I said that price you have on it is what I paid for it new. She just kept walking. I would not take it if they gave it to me, it was in that bad of condition. GW is really out of control on their prices. Soap box has been put up.

"Sally's" in McAllen went the other way. Only real fancy stuff displayed when I was back in March, and at high prices. I assume they got new management with delusions of grandeur.

Change here but the sad thing is I see people paying up for this crap
