The most popular form of vintage shopping is done at a thrift store. A thrift store is a retail establishment where garments, accessories, furniture, records, and all sorts of products from the past are acquired and resold, at great value. Thrift stores are different from consignment stores, as all items are donated to the thrift store. All articles, besides dead-stock items have been worn or used in a previous decade.
Most thrift stores, such as the Salvation Army and Goodwill, benefit a charitable organization. These types of thrift stores are usually part of a large organization and operate many different locations. Other types of thrift shops are private businesses where the owner benefits from the profits.
