Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center

I visit this Goodwill location a couple times a week and can usually find clothing and housewares I like. However, I have a HUGE problem with the way they've been specially pricing the books due to shoppers coming in with scanners and re-selling the books for profit. It's not fair for those customers to take all the books away from those who might read for themselves, but it's even more unfair for a store to try to regulate what customers do with items after purchasing them. I used to buy bags full of books, but now all the good books are priced up to several dollars each!

I agree with the last poster... the pricing is ridiculous! They had Fake designer handbags (used) marked for more than you could get a new bag online. Also a dog crate that had rusted latches for $50! More than what you would pay at Petsmart. A mirror in a box that was in a damaged box for exactly the same price as what TJMaxx sells a new one for. I don't get it either. These are sales of DONATIONS, so the price is pure profit. I'll acknowledge they have overhead. However, I thought the prurpose of these shops was to help the community at large. Many low income folks shop here and frankly are being way over charged for the products and quality. If Goodwill wants to make money not only for their programs, why isn't the pricing more in line with what you would pay at any other yard sale, farmers market, thrift shop or the like? I can get better quality new items for less money just about anywhere else. i help out the Goodwill by donating well over $500 worth of clothing, household and electronic items every year, I'd like them to resell it at a reasonable rate for the community. I know many of these overpriced items do not sell.

Definately less quality inventory than their other store in Dover. Seems no rhyme or reason to individual pricing. Trash worthy leather coat could be $5 or $50. Target OS way overpriced...more expensive than if you were to buy it on clearance at Target. I don't get it. Clothing well organized if a little sparse, the rest of the store is mess of broken dirty toys and undesireable nic-nacs.
