My Thrifting Senses are Tingling for Collectible Comics!

You’d probably be surprised by a lot of the unique items that make their way into Habitat HMD’s ReStores. From antique china sets to vintage books, you can find a wonderland of collectible merchandise on your thrifting adventures. (Pssst, you can keep up to date with our stock by following our ReStore Facebook page!) Or if you’re in a giving back or decluttering mood, you can also donate your collectibles to Habitat for Humanity through its ReStores.

Just check out this rare Mickey Mouse Movie Stories Book 2 from 1936! Our ReStore’s are backed by affordable prices, so this rare find is on sale for $100 – at a value of over $500 USD!

But you didn’t come here for Mickey Mouse (sorry Mickey), you came for…Superheroes.

We often see companies donating their out-of-season or unsold items to our ReStores. Their revenue goes right back into Habitat HM’s build program, making these donations a great charitable initiative for businesses to uphold.

Take our incredible partner, Whirlpool Canada for example. Just this past April, our Burlington location was able to hold a Scratch and Dent Sale, selling brand new scratch and dent appliances donated by Whirlpool Canada for a fraction of the price. Due to the generosity of others, our ReStores are able to offer some amazing merchandise at great prices while supporting our mission of affordable housing.

One of our most recent donors brought in a major selection of collectible comics to our Burlington ReStore. Who do we have to thank for this influx of Superhero magic to our stores? An unnamed comic book store that recently closed its doors.

So, you like Marvel? We’ve got you covered.
