(4.33 out of 5)Auto Auctions Every Thursday at 9 A.M.
May 17th, 2007 by markdownmom
Markdownmom’s Twin Cities tour has begun. Today MDM visited the Easter Seals Goodwill store located in St. Paul, MN.. This thrift store is one of the contributors to the shopgoodwill auction site. Expansive with a large inventory of clothing, many racks are reduced on Thursday by 50 percent. Although MDM does not recommend thrift stores as a source of auto auctions, nevertheless if you have strong mechanic skills or know an expert mechanic you might want to check out their offerings every Thursday at 9 a.m.. To preview this weekly’s silent car auctions, log on at Goodwill Easter Seals. If you would like to donate your car, this store offers free metro pick-up.
MDM found china and glassware a bit expensive for a thrift store and there were not displays of antique items, possibly
because of this store’s connection with the national auction site. However, there were some deals on home appliances such as a BreadMan bread machine NIB for under fifty dollars and a medium cuisinart only missing its feeding tube for under five dollars. Also, selected designer items, electronics, tools, and antiques are held under glass to bid on in a silent auction. The Easter Seals store also has a large book and record collection. College students can find some inexpensive furniture pieces and art work for their apartments or dorm rooms.
Special tag sales on Monday and Tuesday at these stores, and if you are 55 or older Wednesdays offer senior discounts of an extra 25% off.
Open 9-9 weekdays. Handicapped accessible.
