I think what the thrifts do is put it out for sale over here and if it doesn't sell then they sell it to the exporters who bale it. Many people in the markets where I was in Africa also bought bales (wholesale) and then sold the individual items.<BR/><BR/>Sharon - yes, I like the lights - initially I kept trying to take the photo without the reflection showing but when I looked at them later on the monitor, I decided the ones with the lights were better.<BR/><BR/>BD: I agree!Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-66032755477626947142008-10-14T09:04:00.000-07:002008-10-14T09:04:00.000-07:00Isn't it great that this city blog stuff makes us ...Isn't it great that this city blog stuff makes us explore our worlds?Debbie Courson Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776324320153239092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-82776471160507722042008-10-14T06:37:00.000-07:002008-10-14T06:37:00.000-07:00The florescent lights seem to be emphasizing the p...The florescent lights seem to be emphasizing the photo.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-8387696631231400972008-10-14T00:19:00.000-07:002008-10-14T00:19:00.000-07:00When I saw the thumbnail, it almost looked like co...When I saw the thumbnail, it almost looked like contrails in military formation. That just wouldn't do in Victoria, and your explanation is much better. <BR/><BR/>I <A HREF="http://www.reason.com/news/show/127435.html" REL="nofollow">read recently</A> that about 80% of the clothes we donate to local thrift shops gets sold in bulk to dealers, who then sell it to third world countries.
