Share your Goodwill finds.

The wife loves em, I hate em. I will usually drop her off at one and go run some errands and go back to pick her up an hour later. She scores some incredible finds.

I'V BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT SHIRT FOR YEARS

I think my best find was a hand-tailored suit made in Italy for someone my exact dimensions. Silk lined pants are the best things ever.

I've never been in a Goodwill before...I've always left that store alone for people who truly need it.



(BTW, I'm very far from rich)

Have you looked at the cars in the parking lot??? Poor people can't afford to shop at Goodwill. It's more for middle class America. They have a lot of new stuff there from Target & Wal Mart. Unfortunately sometimes they price it like they think they are WM Or Target.

Stopped in the Richmond one today & got a brand new still in the box Casio large electronic keyboard with stand for my son for $57, it retails for $99.

I stopped in there a few years back looking for a fridge, holy crap! They were really proud of the ones they had. I bought a brand new one at the scratch and dent store for way less than they were asking for used ones.

I do like sifting through their t-shirts, never know what you'll find.

The Nieces and nephews are getting a little old for this now, but *My* All Time Goodwill favorite-- go staight to the clearance racks and find the ugliest, gawdiest *sh*t* in there. (launder!) Put it in a box for the kids marked "Dress Up". They will LOVE it!! And you will be out just a couple of bucks for the whole treat!

 

[jsharmon7]

You can still find a great deal here and there, but some of the pricing is getting kinda crazy. I saw a used crockpot from probably the early 1980s that they were asking something like $20 for. I could go get one new for that price, why would I pay that for one that old? I go to Goodwill to find stuff for a few bucks, not nearly new prices.

I just realized that Goodwill is getting too rich for my blood. Does that mean I'm poor? I think it does.

Lots of good finds here...

Have not found a good find at Goodwill in some time, but I have found some decent buys at thrift shop in Indy. Bought about 10 books for less than 10 dollars and so far have sold 8 of them for 50!

 

[shooter1054]

Not Goodwill but I got a couch with a recliner on each end at SA for $50. One small tear in the fabric but everything works great. Especially considering it is just for the hunting cabin.

Some yrs ago, our TV died. Was grocery shopping next to the "Goodwill". After loading my grocerys in the car, walked in and saw a 27 in Toshiba Tv w/remote for $40.00, figured "why not", picked it up, and brought it home.
Still have it, hooked up to satellite convertor, works perfect. When all the flat screens came out at $1000.00, told my wife, we will wait till prices drop a little and when this dies, buy new again. 5 yrs and still waiting for the funeral. Beat Best Buy on that one!

Used to go a lot, but I have so much crap around here that it's mostly going the other way these days. I do remember some bargains; got a pink pie-bird for $.35, a radial arm saw for something cheap, and an M14E2 (pistol grip) stock for $4.94. Not tellin what I sold that for Got a computer that was pretty hot at the time for $90, but I think all the important parts have been upgraded 1-3 times. I remember parking the Cadillac between a BMW & a Mercedes up at the Westfield one once.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Large stuffed animals for a few dollars each. What they blow up great with tannerite stuffed inside. It was my girlfriends' idea I swear!

I think that gets you put on some kind of Watch List!!!

 

[PistolBob]

I only go there for socks and underwear...I like them to be already broke in. I hate to chafe.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Granny panties? Ooh. Pants don't fit now.
