There was a little "click" of us that met there and we had a system of picking up stuff for each other, so we had more of a chance of getting stuff we wanted. I've come away with some AMAZING finds - a $7.50 typewriter that I resold for $300 is one that Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465862144480036138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-33577917538562621272016-03-24T22:58:56.702-04:002016-03-24T22:58:56.702-04:00We have a ton of those Goodwill outlets here in Po...We have a ton of those Goodwill outlets here in Portland. I can think of four off the top of my head. I have one about 5 minutes from my house. I rarely go to it. I find I do way better at estate sales. There are people I know that go to the GWO EVERYDAY. They find some great stuff, but I don't have the tolerance for it. Glad you found some goodies.laurie -magpie ethelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834961014859192423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-68643579192411620352016-03-24T21:02:04.379-04:002016-03-24T21:02:04.379-04:00What a fun time!

Glad you were able to scoop some deals.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002955782128223182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-4976360252407204132016-03-24T14:22:30.039-04:002016-03-24T14:22:30.039-04:00I get it - isn't Boot Hill Cow Pet like the Co...I get it - isn't Boot Hill Cow Pet like the Cockney accent in London? There is a pound GW in North Charleston I go to three or four times a year. My experiences are just like yours. People respect other people's junk and often share or help find missing pieces. Once I was looking for a complete set of little books and eight people pitched in to go through two rolling carts to help me Donna Wilkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985036983888082763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-8281671828427937242016-03-24T13:57:27.542-04:002016-03-24T13:57:27.542-04:00I can't decide if I ever want to go to one of ...I can't decide if I ever want to go to one of these or not. Luckily there's not one near so I don't have to worry about it too much. I think it would be fun to go for the experience though. I would have to think about how much stuff weighs before I bought it too. Looks like you found some good things on your trip! PS Where you auditioning for the Oprey? Is that why you were in Sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913201824588109760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-41894890855549597102016-03-24T13:15:59.442-04:002016-03-24T13:15:59.442-04:00Wow, a warehouse in bins and good natured shoppers...Wow, a warehouse in bins and good natured shoppers.

I wish ours was only 79 cents a pound, it's about twice that here. I've had the same experience with the other shoppers being respectful. Everyone is very focused, but no one is trying to grab something before another shopper gets it. Once I mentioned to another shopper that I was looking for The Queen of Fifty Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384014133730608702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934980.post-80867425185851970122016-03-24T11:49:44.685-04:002016-03-24T11:49:44.685-04:00I am one of the clueless one's that had no ide...I am one of the clueless one's that had no idea what 'Boot Hill Cow Pet' meant. I have heard about the GWO but never been to one. I would hang back and check the older bins I think. Still it must be fun to watch and even more fun to see what you can find for super cheap.
