I have a place like that here and they do the same thing minus ruining it with tape. They know they have a 'collectible' and mark them up.
I have been to an actual 'thrift store' and bought action figures and whatnot at thrift store prices. I recently (few months ago) found a MOC Ghostbusters 'Rookie' for $5 and had I waited until the next day, would have got it 50% off but wasn't going to chance it.

The fact that they feel they have a collectible there and put a ridiculous price on it, but proceed to bundle it with packaging tape ... tish tisk tisk ...

Yeah it was at a Salvation Army, I called it a thrift store because its not like they have the choice to just take antique or collectibles, they just sell what people donate to them. But I can see your point, I've found some steals on toys there too but uniformed people just always assume any vintage starwars toys are worth a fortune.
