For starters, that price is outrageous, IMO. I've always loved thrifting because of both style and pricing. In the last 10 to 15 years it's become a bit of a gourmet thing... so sad. It was one of my favorite activities and shopping experiences. Finding weird and retro pieces for 2 dollars was such fun! I'd buy 50 bucks worth of stuff and actually donate it back and get another 50's worth. I hear you -- I mean, I think I do...
Ikr! It was such fun for me back then. I used to have a whole "German old lady" wardrobe that I combined perfectly with converses and adidas shoes! Loved it! :(
I know I won't succeed in explaining properly but I'll give it a go. 1. The shop got some of their donations from Germany. 2. I chose these old lady like dresses, which I found super mod at the time. My mom coined the term when she organized my closet once and told me "your normal clothes are here and your old-lady clothes here" lol
I have no pictures of those but this is a bit similar to the style I used to wear

I just re-read your post and I realized I didn't actually address your question, just vented my take.
Yup, it's annoying how styles change and you can't get past fashion pieces you loved!

It's fine to vent your take on this. Thrift shops used to be fun and cheap. Now they're just as lousy as the regular retail stores. XD

Does a German Old Lady wardrobe have lots of boiled wool slippers & jackets?
