This is where you go if you want quality, NOT the typical stuff that winds up at Goodwill and Salvation Army (I don't quibble with the good work they do there, but honestly, the quality of the items is usually low). Many loyal donors bring in their best stuff (or "aunt Edna's" best stuff) to the ALB shop, where it's cleaned, researched, and priced fairly, by a hardworking all-volunteer staff. And if it does not sell after a bit, it goes on sale, first 50% off then 75% off. Proceeds go primarily to clothe low income school children. As far as the $200 china one reviewer scoffed at, well, that person doesn't know their brands! This shop routinely stocks Limoges, Noritake, and many other high end sets...often wedding china from earlier years which simply sat in the china cabinet and was seldom if ever used!. You can't go wrong here if you want QUALITY. On the other hand, if you want the one dollar stuff, well, there are lots of of second hand shops around and the person who gave the ALB shop one star is welcome to go elsewhere and leave the good stuff to the rest of us!
