  I recently moved to Moundsville, West Virginia, and went walking around the town, looking at the shops, where things were, etc.   There was a mysterious shop with the sign BINS, and I peered inside, and saw just exactly that: rows of bins, with several people looking inside.

  
  

  Got home, and looked it up on the internet, and they had a Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/820438558971430/

  
  

  I went back a day or so later, and went in, to find bins full of all sorts of stuff, some in boxes, some out of boxes.  Price on door: $7 on Friday, $6 on Saturday, and it drops down to 25 cents on Thursday, after which new stuff gets put out for Friday.

  
  

  Absolutely never know what you will find, and have gotten some very useful things for near nothing.  Things that you never knew you needed, but were exactly what you did, in fact, need.  Some things you're looking for, too, of course.  

  
  

  Met with a friend and her grandson - who lives in the town - and he spoke about the store, and said he had heard good things about it, but not so much lately.  He said the people were buying Amazon returns - apparently, it just comes on pallets, and you don't know what you get - and simply putting the stuff up for sale.  But, he said, he had heard that, lately, they had begun putting the good sfuff on Ebay.  "I don't blame them," he said.  

  
  

  Nevertheless, I've found very useful stuff, including food items that I would never think of buying, or even be able to get locally.

  
  

  A week or so ago, I heard this:  "Somebody said somebody found a laptop in here."  

  
  

  Every town should nave an Amazon BINS store.
