    you didn't get scammed... you forgot the rule #1 of thrifting ALWAYS open the box and test item inside, most of the times people put old items (sometimes non working) into new boxes from what they replaced it with. doesn't mean they cheated target either, person just donated an old tv in a different box as it's easier to carry.

    I worked returns at a big warehouse store. I wouldn't call it bait and switch. Salvage meant it was going out at 10-30% of the original price of the actual tv. Not the box it was in. You just use any box you can find.

      The tablecloth Id send into amazon and not have to store it. The sloth I have to store it to sell on ebay. I also have to ship it individually when it sells. The tablecloth would take me a few seconds to process since Amazon would deal with the shipping.

      I mean I was sold a $300 device. Told it was new and it wasnt even the right product. I had to pack it back up and drive back to goodwill and get my money back. If I didnt check, I could have very well been screwed. Not clickbait at all.

    • @danb.5505
      @danb.5505 2 роки тому +1

      @@ThriftSchool Our opinions differ. You said someone pulled a bait and switch on Target. Target didn't check and gave it to Goodwill, which did not check. And you didn't check until you got home. The box was sealed. And most importantly, Goodwill gave excellent customer service when it gave you a full refund. My opinion is also based on your comment at the very end of the video. "I almost got scammed. Not quite." While you could have been screwed, you weren't. As such, the title "Goodwill SCAMMED me!" was not accurate.
      Please focus more on the comment that I was glad to see a video from you again. I like your videos and think you show the entrepreneur spirit. You don't need the misleading titles to get views.
