There's a Goodwill and a Salvation Army fairly close to me, and both are hit or miss as well, (like someone already said, mostly miss). If you want clothes, they're great. Small stuff like knick knacks, jewelry, bags, etc- they're not so bad. However, if you look at the bigger things like a sofa, dresser, end tables, etc, they're out of their mind. We looked at a little table at GW that was 2x2 tanle about 3' high, one leg mostly broken, the top stripped so the compressed part was showing and some hole that looked like something was attached to it a one time. I'm not handy but figured I could kind-a fix it and use it on the porch. We called someone over ansd we figured we'd give them $5 for it, the lady said they wanted $40 but would take $30. My wife told her she was nuts and we left. At SA, we found a dresser that was real nice and we needed one at the time. It was a name brand but I don't remember the brand, actually my wife had to tell me it was a name brand, we offered $70- they wanted $250 and said no, waited a month, went back offered $50, got same response- showed floor person the add where you could get it brand new for about $100 more than what they're asking, still wouldn't budge so we left. I've been to ther GW's and SA's that were operated way better than these 2. Don't know why these 2 near me are so screwing people over especially when the sales are supposed to be helping those in need.
