Value Village markups: Testing if you're getting a deal (Marketplace)

Many Canadians rely on Value Village to buy used goods for cheap, but consumers are finding huge markups on items. CBC’s Marketplace teamed up with Street Cents for a shopping spot check, testing whether you’re really getting a bargain and finding examples of markups above what the products cost new. We also meet with an insider who shares why things are priced the way they are.
