For cheaper items like dishware, blankets, and clothes, you can scour the store to find fair deals. For more expensive items, they research them and price them close to what they would go for on Ebay etc. I recently bought two electronic items from them and thought that I would have been getting a good deal. One didn’t come with a remote. Turns out, they were old technology and once I got the remote, I could have gotten the item cheaper on Ebay. I had spent about $ 300! They will be going back tomorrow. When I was in the store I had even asked if there was any negotiation on the price and they firmly said no… I’ll likely never buy anything over $ 50 from Goodwill again as I have seen the same thing happen with their other stores. Goodwill is taking the fun out of thrift shopping. It is sad to see the prices going up so high.

People donate items for free to goodwill, some of it is garbage that they do not want to pay to dispose of. Goodwill charges almost retail for some items, would rather go to retail with warranty, than pay high prices

I took a used router with an adapter up the counter to buy it. Tammy Faye Bakker at the cashier said the adapter is separate even though there’s no tag on it, and its«as-is». Uh, when did Goodwill stop letting you test devices with electrical outlets, and when did they start shaking people down for $ 1.99 for adapters? There was a line so I didn’t argue with her but refused to buy the adapter. What greedy pieces of shat Goodwill has turned in to… and they get everything for free! I won’t be donating to them nor visiting their glorified flea markets anymore.

Visited a year ago and would have given 3 stars for that visit. This time not many appealing items. Many items looks to be received from retail shops and had somewhat higher prices. 2 stars as a little disappointed for the size of the shop.

I’m a Goodwill hunter. I regularly go to Goodwill just to wander thru and see if there are any treasures.
