Since he put GW instead of the full name, I think he is trying to give an example when we put full stores names. I know for a fact that GW employees do searches for stuff they don’t know the value of...it would be easy for them to come across these posts and then simply learn ALL of our secrets!

Thanks for listing GW in your listings. Looks like I will have to get on to my GW employees for not catching the good stuff. If you had not used the word GW I would not have not known the sorters are getting lazy again. I will be putting out a GW letter to make sure the good stuff is not put out on the shelves.

Awesome?

I sincerely apologize for putting "the name" in my last post, I had no clue. I hardly ever post anyway. Thanks for setting me straight. Please don't take away the good stuff, I will be good from now on.

It’s kinda like how people make YouTube videos giving away all the secrets of how to make money at thrift stores or how to get free silver at the banks.
Do they not realize they are motivating people to do what they do. Making it almost impossible to be successful at what they had been successful at before they made a YouTube video.

I am the CEO, CFO and President for Life of G--D W--L Stores. You unwashed masses are too stupid to every figure out my secret code, but I will let you know this - We have stockpiled from donations more diamonds than DeBeers, more gold than Fort Knox, more silver than the Atocha and more precious art than the Vatican. You will never be given an opportunity to buy any of it! Ever! It funds out lavish lifestyle and is just compensation for overseeing our masses of less than minimal wages paid slaves (I mean "employees"). Stop your belly-aching and go out and purchase our dirty t-shirts, broken glassware, miss-matched shoes and collectible Beany Babies. If you are nice, and stop your libilous slanders, we may let you purchase a Commerative State Quarter for $9.95 + tax, half-off on Wednesday. Do not try to find me, for I live in Spain.

I don’t buy into the idea that there is some secret knowledge that prevents people from buying treasures at garage sales / thrift shops. Most people have zero interest in it. People who choose to learn about it because they want to do it as a hobby / business are going to find out what they need to know - the internet can answer almost any question - it democratizes knowledge and nobody is putting the cork back in that bottle. On the whole, I think the ability to research things online far outweighs any danger from letting other people learn.

'Industries', not 'Stores' :laughing7:

Your insolence has incurred our corporate wrath. Your Senior Discount is hereby revoked and there will be no Half-Off Wednesday with Coupon for you. You will be lucky if we ever again allow you to pay full price for our particle board analog televisions and broken toasters. Forget having any of our Made in China china every gracing your dining room table. A pox upon you and your 1%ers friends!

This is rich guys! LOL. I've never found anything good at GW . I have gone for years, looked in and under everything and even the crappiest of precious metals carries a huge price tag. Your peasant sorter slaves are amazing at marking junk to unprecedented cost levels. I commend you.

I have checked 5 GWs in my area and have not seen the first piece of jewelry of any kind. Nun, nada, zip.

Senior discount? Never knew about that! I'm heading to my WoodGill store immediately after work and plan to raise Cain! I figure they owe me a spit-ton of free silverplate, starving artists works and broken Sauder furniture for failing to give me the old farts discounts!

While they still send GREAT stuff to corporate for online sales and God knows where else...my local GW s still do jars. Picked up a $24.99 jar earlier today because it had this beauty in it...10g. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1534902571.396968.jpg
