Although not really common in the UK, the US yard sale or garage sale is still the best for bargains. Often they do not know what they are selling, and often do not care! Charity Shops I try to give them a bit extra if it is underpriced, but it is fair game in private junk or surplus stores. Stephen

Thanks for educating me, Phil. Rear lens caps really sounds much better. In NL I see a trend that the 'official' thrift shops ('kringloop' - mostly run by the local government) are getting more expensive by the day. They watch Ebay and other auction sites closely and price their goods likewise. No deals anymore! The more charity like shops behave differently, more reasonable? They do attract more business (revenue). Oxfam is like that and is the most expensive charity shop. CD's normally in the 99p rack are selling between £5 and £8. Branded clothes are sold at a premium and supermarket brands or Primark brand are bundled off directly to Africa. Cameras etc seem to be always sold on ebay.
