Shopping Goodwill

Thrift stores have always been a great place to find California Pottery. They're like a magnet for Grandma's old dishes and knick-knacks. Goodwill stores have their own online auction site and its well worth a visit...www.shopgoodwill.com. Its laid out pretty well and you can always find some California items. The search function is a little clunky, but it gets the job done.
There seems to be plenty of smart shoppers hanging around as few choice items go cheap, but there are some bargains to be found. Like these three Metlox Poppytrail mugs with the detachable handles, from the 200 series...one has a slight crack the other two are excellent. They sold on the Goodwill site this morning for $11.87. That's a genuine bargain as priceguides put these at $20-25 apiece.
So check them out. There's an undiscovered gem sitting on there right now. Can't tell you what it is though as I'd like to get a bid in at a low price. Maybe more later.
