Not all donated items (home decor, housewares, etc.) are suitable for sale. Donation sorters go through newly
donated items to identify items suitable for re-sale, for recycling and for
disposal. They make an initial assessment of all items and set aside items
that they are not sure of. Pricers are asked by the Store Manager to assist
with the pricing of inventory. These volunteers are selected based on their
experience in the store or due to past experience gained in other thrift or
second-hand stores. In short, they have special knowledge of the resale value
of the goods.
