Having family members with hoarding tendencies, I have noticed that thrift stores are more danger zone than regular stores.
It's hard to pass up a handbag or jacket that you know retailed for $250 when it's $2 at a thrift even if you don't need it - sometimes, they intend to resell it on EBay but that never actually happens...
My hoarding family members seem to get ansy when they can't get to the thrift wondering what "treasures" they might be missing.
The treasure hunting aspect seems to give them a thrill
If you don't but something then and there , it's gone forever drives hasty decisions...
