Thrifting tips for Harpers Ferry

A few things worth knowing before you work through Harpers Ferry's thrift stores:

• Smell the leather at Goodwill. Real leather smells like leather. If it smells like plastic, it is plastic — price it accordingly.
• Keep a running want-list. Write down what you're hunting for. Aimless browsing is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
• Look behind the front row. Shoppers pull things out and shove them back carelessly. The best find is often one rack deep, half-hidden.
• Visit at opening time. Serious pickers arrive at opening. You don't have to be one of them, but the first hour has the best pick of the day's restock.
