I've passed this sign many times before, but have never stopped in. I had a little free time so I thought I'd go inside, with no knowledge of how the store worked.
Basically, the entire place is a giant warehouse, and almost everything is sold by the pound.
Workers were constantly bringing out pallets of new items, and people were lined up to dig through the contents.
Almost everything that was being brought out was clothes. I asked a worker if there were any books or movies, and he said they bring out whatever the managers say, and today was all clothes.
Even with that in mind, I still dug for 15 minutes and found some treasures.
First up, a Spongebob Squarepants Operation Game. I've never really thought about hunting for board games much, besides older vintage ones. It turns out that there's a decent sized market for older games, and there's currently one of these listed on Amazon for $50. This one is a little ragged and taped shut, so we'll have to see if all of the pieces are there.
The only other finds were two unopened Disney VHS tapes, Peter Pan and The Jungle Book.

You want to be careful when buying things that look new, but for these, the top label stickers are still secured. The still sell new for around $10-$15.
2 pounds of merchandise set me back $3. No bad for a potential $60-$80 profit! I was only in the store for 15 minutes, and from doing a little online research, it seems that the longer you stay in, the more product there is to hunt through. Looking forward to checking it out again.
