While items such as housewares and artwork are priced, clothing is only priced if a piece is new. Rack toppers give prices for items such as blouses or pants, and all clothing items are organized by size to make it easier for customers to find what they are looking for. Sales are held when an abundance of a particular item is in stock. “If we have more dresses or blazers, I may have a sale on those for 20% off,” explained Shertzer, who noted that prices have not been raised in several years. She added that the shop is frequented by both locals and tourists.

Shertzer said that she asks all volunteers to follow a vision of a shop that is clean and attractive. “I encourage my volunteers to greet and thank people and be kind,” she said, “… and to be grateful when (people) bring donations.”
