[Mccoypottery-talk] McCoy's

[Patti]

I guess the goodwill here haven't   gotten up on  collectible  yet  the prices are still pretty fair  its the  Salvation
army that's high here. Church thrift shops are a good place to  check if you have   some  in your area  people   donate
lots of great stuff to their churches  and also  st. vincent  depauls  but the too can get pricey if the   people who
run it  know what may be  collectibles.
