Iowa City ReStore (Habitat for Humanity)

I like to shop there, but prices went up in the last year, where most of the stuff doesn't worth being perched as used items. I understand that everything went up everywhere, but the whole idea of this store is buying cheap used stuff, not to pay closer price to new items. And don't forget everything is donated to the store for free. Also, the idea of not being able to open or test something such as paint and some items is not fair because it's not right for a customer to pay for it and then find out it's not working or missing parts, or pay good chunk for used paint than find out it's bad or dryed paint. If you don't want the customer opening the old paint counters, then check them previously before placing them for sale. Another example is tiles. They were cheaper but now it's a dollar for a square foot, which is too much for basic tiles where you can buy it new for closer price and you can return it if you change your mind if purchasing new, and not to forget most of the times most of tiles are small quantity so you are limited where you have to go and buy it new if you get short. Anyway, my point is, prices are too high for used stuff that was donated for free, and it was more worth it before where you can go in and buy cheap stuff as the whole idea was about, and not to pay for something that you can't test or make sure it's going bad before buying it and can't return it.
