@@theresaward206 actually in most cases it’s not. Because they are selling at market value. Resellers purchase stuff cheap and then resell it at market value.

I don't know about other places but down here in South Florida the Goodwills are ridiculously high price I always thought Goodwills were for low income people to get clothing but not down here all you see are new cars in the parking lot no deals for the low income people we've had a young guy got caught that are Goodwill helping a low income family with children on prices on their clothing at the store he was fired I have not been to a Goodwill since too many other thrift stores more deserving

@@candacebradshaw2315 the original intent of Goodwill was to take donations that you get a tax write off for doing and then resell them at a low price to anyone so that the money can be used to fund a training for low income and people that are struggling to get a job. And if they would have stuck with their original model, there would be a lot less things they get thrown away and end up in the landfills because their prices are too high and people aren’t buying like they used to.

And just so you know, savers is not a nonprofit. It is a for profit business so they are even worse than Goodwill because they accept donations and turn around and resell it just for profit. There are no nonprofits benefiting from their sales. I choose not to shop at savers or around here it is called value Village.

If GW would go back to asking reasonable thrift prices like they used to, they would sell more. It's not the resellers - it's corporate greed. I hate to see things at double the price they should be - nobody will buy - and the items will end up broken and useless at the bins. So sad.

@@catherinewhitman8333 I can see that, but that is not Goodwill‘s mission. They receive everything for free so anything that they get for it is profit that they can use to help other people, pay their employees, etc. businesses have to buy their at wholesale and then they turn around and sell it for retail. My being a reseller is just like any other small business and should not be punished or looked down on. Thanks for your comment!

@@tactical_cat exactly, and that is the biggest problem with Goodwill culling the best items and then selling them online like other resellers do. It’s really not fair because they are getting those items for free and as resellers that is part of our cost of doing business is to purchase these items. They need to get back to their original model and use the money like they do for training people that need help getting a job and quit lining the pockets of their greedy executives!

Well, I'm a businessperson just like any other. Goodwill is NOT a nonprofit! They may use SOME of their funds for helping folks with job training, but they are a business that does what any big (American) business does by using whatever means to raise profits to pay their executives. I have actually talked with the local store managers who are frustrated by the corporate mandate to raise prices. If you go to their online selling site, you will see that they are cherry-picking all the best things to resell at a much higher price than most little resell businesses like mine. So actually, it is the growth of people buying second-hand goods online that is causing the high prices! However, you will see in an upcoming thrift video of a little Goodwill near me, that if you are patient, you can get good deals with their discount stickers. I spent $108 and saved $30 in discounts.

I truly appreciate this comment. Please know that I have had these two dogs since the day they were born. They are my heart and they LOVE to go with me everywhere - they are way more stressed when I leave them at home. I leave my car locked with the AC running on hot days. They have a huge bowl of fresh, cold water, and they get a treat before I go in and when I come out. They are very used to waiting and watching for me. However, I never left them in the car for more than 30 minutes. Thanks for watching and your comment!

@@CathiesCurations My dog is the same way and even though I am training him to stay home alone, he still has severe separation anxiety. people get pissed that sometimes I bring him with me and leave him in the car (safely and when the weather is not extreme). Little do they know Im seeing a dog trainer and working with my vet on getting medication that works for my dog. they both know I take him with me when I can..also my dog trainer leaves her dogs in the car when she can lol. people love to judge before they understand the full situation and before doing real research. I think If people saw how unwell my dog gets when left home alone they would understand some dog owners are trying their best and doing what's best for their dog.

This is going to seem petty but when I had an antique shop I hated "clankers". It is possible not to make a clanking noise every time you touch something or put it down . Some manage to make noise even with paper items. Minimum attention is required to make your way through a space without constant banging the merch around.
