    Here are some good second-hand shops not just in my city, but in the whole county where I live. That would be Nevada County, California, USA
    • Hospice Gift and Thrift (754 Zion Rd. Nevada City)
    • Animal-Save Thrift and Treasures (10067 Joerschke Dr. Grass Valley)
    • Cancer Aid Thrift Shop (317 S. Auburn St. Grass Valley)
    • Grass Valley Blues (206 W. Main St. Grass Valley)
    There are a few more, but some are everywhere like Salvation Army or they're expensive consignment shops.

    Not Nevada the state, Nevada County in the state of California. That's where those are. This is a thread for people to list great second-hand shops in their area so if we ever travel, we'll always know where to find the good stuff. Just thought I'd clarify that.

    There is a chain of awesome thrift stores in the South Dallas county and Ellis county area here in Texas. The stores are called "Soul's Harbor"
    The stores use the money they make for rehabilitation and all donations are free to them. They inturn sell clothes, books, records, brick-a-brack for a faction of what other thrift stores would sell them for. Basically if you go up with a big handfull of clothes they would probably charge $5-$10. DIRT CHEAP!
    My wife and I have furnished our whole house with items bought from them.

    Soul's Harbor Thrift Store

    i always check the yellow pages of the phone book when i'm in a new area.

    in canada, i usually find good bargains at the mcc thrift stores:
    http://www.mcc.org/respond/thrift_shops/province_cnd.htm
    that links to a list of all the mcc thrifts in the country.

    another good 'chain' of thriftstores is the St Vincent de Paul thrift stores. they're not totally anal like salvation army or goodwill. St Vincent de paul will actually GIVE stuff away to people who have nothing. i knew someone who was travelling and had her pack stolen. anyways, the st vincent people hooked her up with all new clothes and gear for free.

    There's also a really cool second-hand shop in Montpellier, France, but I don't know the name. It's in the old part of the town...near the HI hostel, anybody know it?
