@@lifeoflonny LOL they see resellers buying and selling for tone they decided if they can join in the profit they would .......Just hope they return it to the community they are in with their special programs maybe they actually are helping more people than a reseller is ???????
I'm in Florida and they just changed their policy to only three (3) days to return and no trying on clothes. And yes the prices r not great either. Goodwill isn't like it used to be. 😍
I hope they always give us some kind of a return policy. No trying on? WOW! We're still allowed to use fitting rooms in my region. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I’ve stopped shopping at Goodwill months ago. This thrift company is NOT a true non-profit. The owner is a multi-millionaire and his company doesn’t help anyone. I also don’t care for them asking at the register to “ round up” as a donation. Since, everything is donated to this company a purchase is truly a donation! Everyone should shop at their local small thrift stores and outreach/mission stores who actually DO help people in your local community.
You're not wrong, Nina. There is nothing more irritating than GW asking for a money donation at the checkout. Nope, not today! I walk out empty-handed most days. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
As always, the bad apples spoil things for everyone else. In Canada our Value Village US Savers counterpart), is definitely NOT a charity store. Huge profits with minimal donations. The prices in all these Thrift stores everywhere is crazy high now!
Tracey, the prices are outrageous! I just don't understand it. I've published a Savers video, and the prices were higher than antique store prices. Pure corporate greed! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Our Thrift Stores were great, until Covid. We were pretty much in lock down, and people dumped out their homes, and Thrift Stores were loaded with good things. Not so much any more. I found nothing this month so far, and nothing for the 2 months before Christmas. Even the book sections are sparce, now.
That's exactly how it is here, Marilyn. Pre-covid was so good. This particular location was amazing. January was always my best month thrifting, too. Times have definitely changed. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Most people with expensive homes do not think of recycling. You would have better luck going through their trash; there are videos on UA-cam to show this. Also, Goodwill now keeps the “good stuff” and sells it on eBay.
I live on the MO side of the line and all of our thrift stores have gotten too pricey for me. Even the smaller stores that are supported by the churches in the community, they look things up on eBay & price them accordingly. I used to thrift shop weekly but not any longer. Better deals found on marketplace, I think. We stopped at a Red Racks in Springfield last week and those prices were beyond CRAZY, a Pfaltzgraff soup tureen was priced at $98.00 . There are no excuses for that.
@joyceyager9940 I agree, Joyce, and hello to a fellow Missourian! The prices are just getting crazier and crazier. I've been an avid thrifter for many years, and I love the hunt. On occasion, a treasure will slip through the cracks, so to speak. That's what I'm hoping to find, mixed in with the overpriced junk. It is so frustrating, but I do have a lot of fun looking. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Flippers advertised for them by doing videos and now they are too big for their own good. I have said this before, sounds like a good business opportunity for other thrift stores to me.
It's so frustrating, Rhonda. I wish the good stuff would hit the floor again. I guess those days are over. I do have fun looking, though. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Our Goodwill stores transfer merchandise to other Goodwill stores. They have their own tractor trailers & they haul merchandise to various stores to see if it’ll sell at a different location. The Goodwills I used to find really quality items at no longer have that stock. A lot of it is because the resellers go in every morning & buy up everything they can possibly resell.
Hi Trina! Yes, I believe that is what is happening here, along with GW online. The overall corporate greed is what I really dislike. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I have family in Drexel Mo, maybe next time I’m down there I can hit up the Overland Park GW. Do you have Salvation Army stores down there? Or even a Habitate for Humanity Restore?
Hi Kate! We have Salvation Army in OP and I think Belton MO. I know exactly where Drexel MO is. I'm actually not too far from there. Definitely hit up the OP GW it's hit or miss, but it's fun to look around. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
@@lifeoflonny Isn’t that the fun of it, the hunt and potentially finding the gem, lol. Sending hug from soggy Iowa to soggy MO, or Kansas, LOL. Bonus daughter works in Belton.
Wow that’s the biggest million dollar area GW that Had absolutely nothing in it🤦🏻♀️ crazy! We don’t have Savers in Fl , hate that because it was always my fav when I lived in Vegas
Hey girl! This location used to be soooo good. I believe anything of value is placed online. I go with the hope they've missed something and it hits the floor. It's rare, but it happens on occasion. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Hello: I work in Olathe. I go to Savers on Tuesday senior day. They prices are getting ridiculous. So I go to Major thrift on parker. Salvation Army on Wednesday on Santa Fe. My favorite is Blessing Abound Thrift . Turn style on 135th. Happy thrifting.
Hi Freda! I need to go check out Major Thrift. I love Blessings Abound as well. It's been a while since I've been there. We definitely have to take advantage of Sr. day and coupons. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Hey, just found your channel! Enjoyed your video! Seems like the music is really low in that store...that's great! Savers is crazy...although I did find a Glassy Baby on the shelf the last time I was there...but let's keep that on the down low...Sorry, I'm at the beach and it's warm in So Calif.
Hi! I'm so jealous, I'm dreaming of the beach! It's currently -4 degrees🥶. Great find, yessssss, keep it on the down low. Enjoy your videos too! Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Thank you! I'm learning and just hoping to get better with each video. YT is something I've thought about for a couple years and just did it. I'm happy I did🥰
When I'm in the dinnerware isle, I'm constantly telling myself, "Be strong, Lonny, be strong" ☺️ I found a set of vintage cabbage dishes last fall and had to bring them home. I believe there is a local KC online GW and also national online. It stinks! I used to love this particular store. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I live by the multi-million dollar home in the Ahwatukee Foothills in Phoenix. The residents must be making donations. But their Goodwill is the dirtiest in Arizona. We wipe our feet when we leave! Where are the treasures going?
Hi Bunny! It's crazy! Probably to goodwiillfinds..this particular store used to have great stuff. I wish they would at least bring it out and give me the opportunity before sending online. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Multi million dollar retail spaces filled with nothing but garage sale left overs? I don't get it? Seems counter productive to me. Unless they just don't want to lose the drop off location for their free stuff?
Yeah, Ellen, I totally understand. You really gotta go often and dig. Just hoping you can find something they may have missed. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Goodwill is so greedy. Them putting things for sale online just smacks of greed.
Agreed! I wish they would just give us the opportunity before placing online. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

They are probably keeping all the good stuff for themselves. Then selling it on Ebay .
I agree, Mary. I've been suspicious of this for a very long time. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

I'm from Ky but I have been to Overland Park, KS...I have visited this Goodwill.....but not the Swift-Kelce mansion.
First time viewer great video. But I wish you would have gone into the vases glass and figurines. Gave you a follow.
Hello and welcome! I will definitely show more of those items in the future. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

Trick to this is for people to stop buy from resellers ... Wouldn't that be funny too , they would be stuck with it .
People have stopped donating because of goodwill GREED

Yep, shame on good will, but they caught on to all the resellers & so greed & corruption has hit goodwill….sad!
It is such a shame, Diane. My GW store used to be so good. Thank you so much for watching ☺️

I like her too, Helen! Most of us have really enjoyed having her here in KC. So fun! Thank you so much for watching ☺️

My area Goodwill is crummy also!👎 It's a popular growing area and they have a lot of💩 in a small store.

Too slow
Thank you for watching ☺️
Goodwill stinks! Local thrift stores are so much better.
You are absolutely right, Karen. I wish we had more mom and pop stores in my area. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
