I don't know this Cat's Eye place but I'm sure they do run through the thrift shops and find the "cool" stuff and mark it up a thousand percent if they find something they can sell at that price.
I used to know someone whose job it was to go to some sort of donated clothes warehouse and wade through or even climb up piles of clothes and root through it all and find the stuff they could sell as "vintage". She wore a dustmask while doing this. Blech.
They paid a premium for first dibs and sold what they found for real money. Value Village-type stores got the leftovers, probably by the tonne, and sell whatever they can get for whatever they can get.
