Good call, and I found the first Spanish-language edition of Don Quijote that I ever owned at a random thrift store in the Outer Banks.

I thought you were making fun of me for being some kind of thrift store get rich quick person until I read your comment again

I got a first edition third print of In Cold Blood at a Goodwill. I just enjoy browsing for the most part when I'm there. Then if you find something cool it's really exciting. Primal hunter gatherer something blahhhhhh. I just think it's fun

absolutely not. You can find some really neat stuff at thrift shops. I have a neat depression and carnival glass collection that is partially inherited and partially from thrifting and yard sales. I just got a book from the library and it turns out some of my stuff might actually be worth tens of dollars, I was pretty surprised. I just bought them because they were pretty.
