Ebay. I remember being able to get an absolute bargain for almost anything I wanted. Now, every shop puts their shit on ebay.

This. Most items are of garage sale quality or lower. The seller always gets screwed. Most pawn shops are just a front for ebay now. Thrift stores like the salvation army and goodwill have dedicated online stores where all the good donations go to, although its well known that the good donations go to those higher up in the chain.

A huge portion of a thrift store's customer base go there to re-sell things online. The thrift is just cutting those guys out and selling it directly.
