  10 Years ago this place was filled with customers, but then they started to off load their items on the Flea Market guys, and the prices all went up. Now if you are shopping around you may be the only customer, and think you are a shop lifter if you leave without buying anything. At most you are saving 20% on open product and all their merchandise are Walmart Returns. Basically Walmart washes their return items via Blessingdales. After being reimbursed by the companies for their losses. Walmart donates the damaged returns to this religious charity, and used it as a tax write off. If it doesn't sell in the store it is sold to a third party reseller, flea market or over seas shipper. Free labor involves church volunteers and community service sentenced criminals. I've seen huge amounts of money trade hand for large deals, but zero paper work or invoices, so does the Church really get the money or does it go into the pockets of the managers?
