I don't know. But my guess would be that stores like Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Value Village, etc. are probably less likely to filter things out.

My rationale is that a privately owned thrift store is in business to make a profit and the owners/employees might have a better handle on the collectibles market.

The chain stores I mentioned are more of a service to the lower income community, and would have more of an MO to just get low priced necessities to people on a budget.

That's just my opinion, though. I'm no expert on collectibles.
