Then, whilst browsing through Boomerang;'s and Goodwill second hand clothing stores in Jamaica Plain, I found an exact duplicate of my $100-200 dollar Blue blazer for the whopping price of ~$12.00.

I browse the goodwill and Boomerang's periodically and find nearly new shirts/pants/shoes for $2.00-10.00. i wash them in hot water and hot dryer to ensure no bedbug or lice problems before unbagging them. I find colorful shirts, vintage shirts, leather soled dance shoes, levi Jeans, even Sorel winter boots at a fraction of new prices.<br />I even scored a signed Ted Williams (baseball player) photo for $10.00 which sells for $300.<br />Try it, you will enjoy the 'shopping!"
