      In the New England area we have a store called Savers that does the same thing..people drop off unwanted items(clothes,shoes,electronics etc) and Savers resells them.. I could see if at least a portion of the proceeds go to a charity or something but it doesn’t.. I understand it helps keep things from ending up in a landfill but in reality it’s just postponing things from ending up in a landfill..getting all your inventory for free and selling it for a profit is genius.

I wore the crap out of that thing and always felt extra good that it had been such a good deal! If sweats at goodwill are 15.00? You might as well go to Walmart and buy brand new ones!

Now everything at all the chains is just flat priced 15 minimum. Wayyy cheaper to try and shop clearance racks at the few places that still do clearance or just buy from wal mart.

  • @lonewolfsurvival3453

    Same with up here with Goodwill in WA. The shitty part is that they are classified as a 503C or whatever the hell it is charity, which exempts them from paying taxes, yet all the profit they make goes into the CEO's pockets and not to charity. I don't shop there and haven't donated to them in years either. Can't believe that I used to work there, I mean no wonder the employees in the back steal all the good shit before it hits the floor, they get measly crumbs for working there. That place is not what people think it is, not even close. They help absolutely NOBODY, except the people at the top of their corporate ladder.

    I shop at thrift stores often and I agree many of the items sold are very expensive to add to this unfairness they won't even mark the price down in some cases.
    If I'm going to the thrift store for one item and I don't find it very often I'll buy things I never intended to, so I end up spending more money.
    This has become a very bad habit that I am still trying to break.
