How to make thrift store shopping fun for children

As a mother of two children, selling on eBay has its challenges. One of the challenges is taking the children thrift store shopping. When my children were younger, it was easy to get them to thrift shop with me. I simply paid them a quarter for each resellable item they found. Now that they are older (16 and 12), a quarter isn't enough.

My daughter enjoys thrift shopping while listening to music and often singing out loud!
