I suppose you're "good" for doing it, but you're not "bad" for not doing it. I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to get money for things you have (especially if you need it) and thrift stores - at least the ones around here - aren't exactly empty. Also a lot of people who shop there aren't people who "need" to shop there - they do it because it's trendy or because they're stingy.
On the issue of karma, I don't believe in it (reincarnation seems very silly to me) but I don't think it's a bad thing to believe in. People doing good things just for the sake of doing good things is beautiful.
