Former goodwill employee here: I will say from personal experience that you technically still COULD call it a thrift store but nah their “mission” is a giant dookie in my opinion but to those who go there I wish you happy thrifting and selling 😊

At the 9:00 mark. There is a Skylanders portal. That exact one that’s behind the Xbox wires. Look to see if they say “for Xbox one” if they do they are worth about 60-70+ on eBay. Cause they have a speaker built in to it that makes that model worth more. But be careful cause there’s ones that are for ps3,4, and switch that look the same that aren’t worth anything more than 10-15.

I'm glad you mentioned the disparity between the target clearance price and goodwills "half off price". My local goodwill says the same thing as well. But what they fail to mention is that its not half off the clearance price, its marked down from the full retail price (at least that's what it looks like to me). They also mention that these items have to be marked up because they've "paid" for them vs the donation items that they have received for free. In all reality they're paying a super discounted rate on the already cheap pallet price since they are a Not For Profit business. I believe target may even be donating these items to goodwill for a tax write off. Maybe I'm wrong but i think their prices have been getting out of hand. Ive even seen "New" donation items being marked as these "new goods" that they get from target and Walmart just to get a higher sale for.

$70 on the possibility of a non working console just wasn't worth the risk. This thrift store doesnt offer returns.

Profiteering it is. They pay their CEOs and managers so darn high, yet they'd pay their employees for minimum wage or something, yet they only do charity work if they get enough profit. They get motivated by profit to do charity work. That's not how charity should be done. That's why Goodwill is not a legit charity, they're a social enterprise business
