Reply to comment by rivunel in Goodwill coming to Brattleboro by proto-jackal
I live in a state that these are littered all over the place. Used to, you'd go there and get a whole basket of donated items for a reasonable price. The other day, I spent $8 each on two long sleeve over shirts, and there was a cast iron brandless pan that needed work priced at $15.
They're taking all of the good things donated and Hocking them on their online bidding store. So not only are they getting these items for free, they're screwing over the public even worse by refusing to put them into stores. You used to be able to buy large buckets of broken jewelry for crafts for $10. Now, they run about $30 for 2 pounds of jewelry and you have to pay shipping.
They're a garbage company for a lot of reasons, but being structured as a nonprofit and making a killing on things donated by other people not privy to their shittery is pretty high on the list.

Literally don't know of a positive from goodwill moving into rutland it's more expensive than other thrift stores and dirtier and yeah.. just everything about it is bad.

I live in Texas, and one of our state mottos is "fuck you people" so of course they run rampant down here.
