My wife is a thrift store / garage sale junkie and it always goes one of two ways.
1) We end up with a junk piece of furniture that sits in our garage for months while she tries to either sell it for a few bucks or makes a run back to the thrift store to drop it off (majority of the time)
or
2) She ends up finding a piece worth hundreds (sometimes thousands) that make it all worth it. She recently found a Paul McCobb table she restored and sold for 700 dollars that she bought for $15 (small % of the time but worth it)
Kinda sounds a bit like venture capital...
