    I have a question for Goodwill...Why do they put the sticker over the info on the bottom of an item. Please ask them to stop that.

    • @katsiduzynski488
      @katsiduzynski488 4 часа назад +11

      the stickers can be easily placed in an offset manner, so all information on an item can be viewed.

    The heavy item at 8:56 is a tabletop Japanese yakitori grill. They’re specifically made to grill yakitori skewers or other similar Japanese appetizers, that particular one is sold at World Market, I bought mine there.

    I am in Canada and I am seeing the same trend of overpricing in the Goodwills here as well. I find that I am spending much more time and finding less items of value. I have, in fact, started shopping more at the competitor thrift stores that are offering better priced items, provide ongoing discount offers to their members and also provide discount coupons when you donate. It's a no-brainer.for me but it makes me sad as I have been shopping at Goodwill for over 20 years.

    42:05 was a famous photograph of an Afghan refugee in Pakistan with beautiful green eyes. It appeared in National Geographic in 1984. The photographer looked her up years later and her face was heavily weathered from a hard life and a husband who used to beat her, but her eyes were still recognizable.

    Those spiral candlesticks are Courting Candles. The beau comes acourting and father lights the candle. When it burns to the spot he set it was time for the gentleman to take his leave. I don’t remember which culture it’s from. I had one for years. Loved it. Merry Christmas! 🇨🇦

    Guardian Ware lids are glass. My mom had a set when I was a little girl. Brought back some memories!
    The most irritating thing about Goodwill is that they have a documented history of paying their back room workers less than minimum wage, then pay their Managers and CEO's hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. When all of those freely donated goodies are donated, the workers are taught to "cherry pick" the items that can be held aside and sold through ebay, or other resale outlets for higher dollars. What's left over is now so high priced that they, Goodwill, have forgotten what "thrift" means. So now that they've raised their prices, are they paying their back room workers better? Don't know, but I highly doubt it. What the jump in prices means to me is that I, who live on a fixed income, cannot shop there any longer.

    Danni, The Goodwill here in mid-PA have lost their minds, too. They had so much Christmas, but hardly sold any of it because the prices were way too high. Finally, yesterday, they put everything at 50% off. Now it's priced the way it all needed to be priced from the beginning. So, they are going to have loads of Christmas left this year due to their price gouging. On stuff they got for free. It's just nuts. A question you could ask in that meeting is that if they are going to charge these ridiculously high prices, then why would they put price tags on top of items where it could possibly damage them? Instead of on the bottom or in a place where it's not going to damage anything? That happens all the time and it's just aggrevating. Anyway, hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Thanks for sharing and thanks Noah for the great edit job. Sue 😊❤

    Hi! I believe those are from Home Interiors. They are called “Courting Candles”. If a young lady were to have a suitor coming to visit, the candle was raised to a certain level and once the candle burned down to the metal top, he must end his visit. The candle was set at a height shorter or taller depending on how much the father liked the young man. They were sold in the 1980s.

    I live in southwestern Ontario Canada. I don't understand why goodwill keeps raising its prices on things that are donated. I donate a lot of good things to goodwill but I'm thinking I'd be better off going to a shelter with them . There's absolutely no reason to keep raising prices. Everything they receive is free!!!. I'm not donating to them anymore. I guess the landfill will be full. Smh. Sorry but btw do you know how much the ceo makes???? Look it up. It's ridiculous.

    I do appreciate the fact that you are going to have a meeting with Goodwill that being said I honestly don’t think they give a crap! They have become ridiculous and the fact that they don’t care/maybe don’t realize it I would have to think they do realize it or they wouldn’t be so greedy and put such high prices on it… I have learned to stay away from them. I go to garage sales, church, sales, sales, estate sales, etc. animal shelter sales half the stuff on Goodwill‘s shelves are busted anyways broke up you cut yourself on things, etc. it’s not even worth it. Our savers has gotten the same way so I don’t even go there anymore. You get these young people in there “Managers” and truthfully, they have no clue what they’re doing. Oh it’s collectible so we’re gonna put a high price on it. They truly have become greed will they are not for the community!

They lasted a year's single use then quit working! They were $4.00 each. I guess we were hoping to have something to use. Guess not this time around.

    The Northern New England group of Goodwills has had higher pricers for ages. Instead of red tags, they have "hand picked." which is priced like an antique shop! The prices start at $2, even for tiny juice glasses and dollar store stuff! They are starting a 75% off last week's color tag sale which will last all week (instead of fill a bag for $15 on Mon.--I have fit over $100 of stuff in a bag. But 2, get one free. Now, instead of senior discount being 20% on Tues., it will be 15% off all the time (for vet's also.) I try to remember that I will just have to be selective and use what I have learned from all you resellers when I purchase things!
