I stopped going to goodwill a while ago.

Prices too high.

Also Caught them a few times taking the sale of the week items to the back storage so no one can get the $1 blue tags or whatever color of the week it was.

Also heard the manager yelling at an employee for missing one of the sale items.

I still go to all the other brands of thrift stores, there are like 30 of them in 10 miles, maybe more. And they are ALL cheaper than goodwill.

I also used to go to goodwill outlets and get stuff cheap by weight, but I no longer see hard goods or DVDs there anymore. So I stopped going.

Someone please correct me if im wrong because I'm too lazy to look it up, but I was told goodwill is for profit.

Value Village around here is notorious for selling shit from the dollar store that has printed-on-the-package price tags of $1-2 for $3, it's ridiculous.

I understand the frustration but Goodwill sells all that stuff to support it's job training and skills program. Here's the mission statement . Most people see it's value as a place to donate old stuff or to buy used clothes cheaply but the organization sees it's purpose differently.

The jobs training program where they hire people with disabilities and then pay them below minimum wage because of a loophole in the law?

If they want people to keep shopping there and providing the income necessary to maintain that charitable work, they should probably try to maintain the perception that they price things cheaply enough to make it worth digging through racks of second hand goods.

Support your local thrift stores!

I used to volunteer with my local thrift store and anytime there was something donated they didn't think they could sell it would get sent to goodwill lol

this is actually A Thing according to my dedicated thrifter wife

They realized they can make more money by pricing what professional resellers would charge, and have starting sloughing off more high end stuff to sell online, and adjusting pricing to be inline with the rest of the 2nd hand fashion reselling market.

I wanna say this has been going on for a while, but it really feels like they've cranked it up just recently. I was in a goodwill probably just a month or so ago and it felt like everything there was the same price you'd have gotten it new. It's insane.

Stick to your local thrifters, people, chances are they have better shit anyway.

Yeah, everyone has a phone now, including goodwill employees. They aren't going to put a Northface coat out for $12.99 with it goes for $129 online.

Our local thrift stores price according to the real world too, and generally, I bet $35 is still a deal for this coat. Its just not the $3.50 that people want to see.

Gnarly lint extra. Gonna cost ya!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

I don't think I've ever actually seen a price that high at my local Goodwill. Coats only go up to like $16 here.

How horrible, children should not be making clothes. They should be picking fruit instead of stealing skilled jobs from adults.

I hate Goodwill out here. They have the least selection of crap, and charge absurdly high prices like this. I go to another local chain of thrift stores called The Hope Chest. There's like 4 of them around here and they rock. Usually go there for pants because I can find good quality materials and spend like $5 for 6 pairs.

As in “I gave it to you for free. And you overcharged everyone for it.”
