There’s no Goodwill in Goodwill anymore, you can buy T-shirts cheaper at Walmart and target brand new.
You can blame all the re sellers for increased pricing in thrift stores. These days you'll have to buy from these people online. People like this man. Back in the day, real men had real jobs and left thrift items to those who actually need things they can't afford in big box stores.
People donate to help the poor they don’t have to price gouge at a thrift store that’s why they call it Goodwill, they already auction off all the good stuff online
People who buy;and sell trendy stuff high priced are greedy buyer beware!
I'd never trust a guy like this!
This guy is trying yo llug his EBAY! WASTE OF TIME!
When I donate, if it is like a puzzle, I count every puzzle piece to make sure that everything is there. With clothing items that I am planning on donating, if I find a hole or stain in/on my donation items, I trash them. I love thrift store shopping myself so I try to put myself in the shoppers "mind and shoes" when I donate. Truthfully, I try my best to only donate to Salvation Army.
Plz don’t defend The Goodwill. I’ve seen what their CEO makes!! Absolutely support your smaller thrift stores. ❤
I agree!!!
I agree!!
I agree, plus their prices have gone way up
CEO makes less than most CEO's. But their prices are ridiculous. I just saw a Victoria's Secret robe for 69.99!
I worked for them they are greedy don't give back to the community and extremely high in price They have stations for everything being priced and price point systen of how to price items they can go online and check to see what it goes for. They work the workers like crazy with the least pay its alot to do especially the donation attendants they deal with the hardest part. They arent even great to work for with 15% discount you have to wait 72 hours to buy something from time It's put out dated and ticketed onto the floor. Its usually gone before you want it.
Goodwill prices are ridiculous!! And you can buy brand new clothes cheaper than the prices in Goodwill!! I walked out the last time I was there when I saw the prices. They are getting rich from donations and they pay horrible wages.
Even Amazon is less expensive, so they bring it to your door.
EXACTLY
Yup I’ve seen shirt from Walmart that they priced higher than the price it was at Walmart
Me too. Ross is usually cheaper brand new then Goodwill
@@franciegwin yes
@@franciegwin yesss
Greedville- That's my new name for the place. There are so many other charity shops and the employees are volunteers so the money they make really goes for good. Not in "greedvilles" pockets!!!
Sooo true about Goodwill 's greed and pockets getting lined..Salvation Army have helping programs for AAA..Women's shelters and car programs to donate to people who needs transportation for work. Their prices at 1/2 price Wednesdays and senior Mondays where everything is 50% off is worth donating to.
I'm in Columbia SC. I have found items that were used, costing less at DOLLAR TREE for half the price!!!! I left it there!!! They used to ask if "YOU WANT TO ROUND UP TO GIVE SOMEONE A JOB?" NO!!!! THEY REALLY MEAN "DO YOU WANT TO ROUND UP TO THE CEO & OTHER HIGHER UPS MORE MONEY?? " I STILL GO BUT I DON'T GIVE BACK ONE PENNY!! 😂
I remember when I couldn't afford anything. Goodwill. I found affordable items that I needed.
Everyone should work with the public at least once in their life. It teaches you how to treat others as a customer.
💯
I agree
Yes ❤
I always have said the same thing.
Goodwill is not a nonprofit, it is a for profit in the sense that they rake it in and pay their executives lots of money!
GW here in Indianapolis is nothing but expensive junk.
a recliner that was more crooked than a politician ... Ha ha ha
Or the CEO of GW....
I went to goodwill recently and I bought a small towel. I removed the price sticker and found out that I paid a dollar more than what the original price was. They ha priced it at $1.99 and the real price on the tag was for $1.00. Yep, I got ripped off! I usually don't shop anymore at Goodwill. I also don't want to keep lining the CEOs pockets. The one purchase that was worth it was the set of blinds, brand new, not broken for $3.99.
they are bad now. .Greed. Goodwill in Mohave county AZ is awful too. Big inventory, nothing sells, prices too high.
Feds raided local goodwill years ago. Short version, district officials were contracting Goodwill employees for cleaning services. Employees listed on payroll didn't exist and some didn't have a disability.
They also sell donations to thrift stores and years ago 60 minutes did a story. Clothes in a warehouse the size of a football field was scooped up with a front in loader, baled like cotton and shipped to AFRICA. I will never forget it was sold to locals for $60 Us dollars a bale. I'd say it's still going on around the world. In documentaries I've watched in recent years small villages around the world are wearing Tommy Hilfiger, Disney, and other name brand t-shirts.
O
They all are crooked,the goodwill,the salvation army.They are all screwing all of us over!
My Ill Will - mostly trash makes it through to the shelves. Anything worth buying gets sent on line, where their crazy shipping and handling kills the deal dead. No jewelry in the store whatever. No video games. Nada. Not even clothes in my size, or at least that fit properly. You can't return anything. Electronics have to be returned for store credit only within 72 hours. If you can use single pieces of dinnerware, glasses printed with someone's prom date, busted silverplate teapots and chipped glass vases, you're in luck. Anything good...no point. They want $4.49 for random t-shirts, $12 for low-quality used jeans, and $3 for used dollar store merch. Even the DVD shelves were bare today. I went in today for no good reason and all I found was a bathroom to use. Mikey gets better stuff in Vegas.
Their upper management pushes the prices so they can make millions in wages and bonuses every year. GW is a company that figured out how to con people into giving them free inventory, they pay minimum wages to the store workers, and donate the minimum they have to in order to be considered "non profit" so they get bigger tax breaks. I personally only look for the discounted sticker items when I go there anymore, and donate my unwanted items and spend more $$ at smaller local thrift stores instead.
But I won't knock anyone who shops there, no more than I would knock anyone paying $150 to buy a t-shirt.... it's your money and your choice where and how you spend it.
BTW - I did a quick google search on that shoe with the handle and found some possible matches - all the ones I found said it seemed to be Dutch, some said a decoration of sorts and some said it was a cobbler's tool but weren't sure exactly how it was used. Very interesting either way.
Goodwill is NOT a charitable organization. Its surprizing how many people dont know that . Goodwill has the best deal going. Get for free, sell it for a large PROFIT. Also I've NEVER seen a handicapped person working at Goodwill. My favorite thrift store is the SALVATION ARMY STORE. They actually HELP people on a regular basis and during emergencies.
When they trashed the Senior Citizen Discount. That was my last visit forever!!!!
Mikey.......Goodwill in Florida has corporations buying franchises and taking over blocks of stores for profit. That's why you've seen prices go higher and higher. They still hafta keep handicapped employees in positions working in the stores as part of the contracts. Look into it and you'll probably find the stores you visit are not run by Goodwill anymore too.
I literally laughed out load at the doll being confused and constipated! You always make my day! ❤
😀
Prayers for Cort. Thanks for the fun. Hope it was a glassy baby. I'm like you just hear about them. I'm not a reseller but just buy what I like.
Blessing to you Mikey and Cort
Goodwill keeps the good stuff to sell on the web!
Hue, please heal up quickly. Many prayers for a speedy recovery. Mikey; you resemble a slightly annoying brother, and it's entertaining to see your expressions and interacting together with your nemesis pal.
The thing is they charge you too much for used items plus they tax you on items that had already been taxed. Why should we pay the taxes on used items? And what you’re paying there, you can buy brand new at Ross or Walmart cheaper.
" I'm confused and constipated like that doll , Mikey, you take the cake in genuine gentlemen.
I pray it's a glassy baby.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Goodwill also sells some items online that are considered more valuable than putting them on the shelves. I've done resale for quite a few years over 30. A lot of the resale stores have caught on and they have upped their prices so it makes it harder and harder for a reseller to make much of a profit on just resale stores. Any more auctions have been better in garage sales. Example 5 to 10 years ago t-shirts were a dollar now they are $5.58 in my town. Some of the name brand clothing is even marked higher. Good luck.
I've often seen $1.25 items from Dollar Tree in Goodwill with a $2.00- $2.50 price tag.
Only bargains I find are used books for $1.50. Sometimes I find them at the library for .50 cents
Just check out exactly how much Goodwill gives to the “causes”! The one company I worked for sponsoring a charity gave 2% off the profits! So after all the bills and the ceo has his cut what’s leftover it’s 2% to the said charities!
Goodwill is no longer a charitable organization, it’s private owned business, and it’s profit driven as any other business’, please check your resources, don’t help them fool us regular patrons, we don’t like misinformation!
I used to live in an area that had a "bins" and loved it. Now I live in another area that has a regular Goodwill. Yes, the prices are up and right now packed with holiday stuff. But i shop there at least once a week. Especially senior day. I buy almost all my outer clothing from Goodwill, and also gifts for family. I know the higher ups get the big bucks and regular folks get rid of unwanted not great stuff at Goodwill, and know tons end in landfill. There are certainly good reasons not to shop at Goodwill, but for me the lower than regular stores for things I like and will use.. My family is also with me. In fact yesterday was my birthday and my daughter and son in law gifted me a nice gift card!!
Mikey please don't defend the high prices at Goodwill, the real victims of their high prices are people living in poverty that are having to pay more for basics such as kids clothes. You and I can walkaway from a high priced item with no severe consequence.
That's exactly the point...it's detrimental to the very people it's meant to benefit
@@deboramccallum3987 yesss
I agree!
My secret question asks "favorite department store "...Goodwill for Life.
I purchased several new items to give to Goodwill so folks that couldn’t get new items would pick these up as beautiful Christmas gifts 🎁. This is the First Christmas I was able to do this.
I literally can’t afford to shop at Goodwill. They once were awesome but, got really creedy.
I saw a dollar store item marked at 9.99 " because we have to follow the guidelines "
No more bags at our goodwills in Arizona, you can purchase for 10 cents. I got to remember to bring in my own
Yep...just like Savers. I'm sure they'll be selling their own branded tote bags soon!
that is no fun
So true in Arizona 10 cents a bag u can get a reg bag or a really big bag for 10cents
whats next?
That video where the police officer came in Goodwill asking if a nearby homeless woman could be gifted a pair of shoes in the winter and they refused was absolutely disgusting …. Where the Gods will in that everything they sale if free people should stop donating they should pay the donators.
They don’t put the good stuff in the store. They sell it online.. they forgot that they there a secondhand retailer. How can you charge more for something used than the item is new at the original store?
Hey! You're wearing my shirt! I donated that a while back. Enjoy!
no way! thx for passing it along
The goal is to pay the CEO’s millions more every year. My best friend’s son has down’s Syndrome and worked there. They paid him crap and it’s shameful. Their prices keep going up to get rid of the middle man which are the resellers. They mark it below what you would sell it for online. They don’t have the expenses of packaging and mailing to contend with. They know what they are doing. Thank God there are gems you still can find.
Heeeeeeey Mikey! Congratulations!! On your 1st Glassybaby!! Awesome find my friend! Also, speedy recovery to your arch nemesis.. thank goodness the only thing he hurt was his Achilles. That situation could have gone south real fast.Good luck to your beautiful wife,Super Court, and her surgery. Again Congrats
thank you thank you❤
Congratulations on finding your first Glassybaby...and in the wild at GW of all places!!! Thank God they had a price tag on it 😉❤
yes and thank you!
I've never found a glassy baby! (Or a lucite candle or fairy lamp). Someday!
If items dont have any prices
I check with them - still good deals.
The prices are nuts. They keep raising the prices .
You said about Goodwill's Mission I have been trying to figure out for years what their mission actually is now they used to have clinics that would help people find jobs and write resumes and do different things but they've closed all those
they still have an open an operating career center in Las Vegas
Most of Goodwill's in my area are overpriced and you have to pay for a bag!! hahahahah
OMG the fried bologna reference was awesome!! Grew up eating that but not in sandwiches- just plain. Love your vids & comments. Definitely have a new subscriber 💜👍🏻
Goodwill has an shop on line. They also get thousands to millions.
Hi mikey, nice one on you're first glassy baby 🎉 you'll find more now 😊
Can't wait!
Best to bring hand sanitizer when u go to goodwill. I carry one in my purse.
Mikey, I automatically thought about the "colorful" shirts that you love. My family went into a Durham's Sports store looking for one certain item. My husband went into the men's section looking for shorts. All I can remember is that I saw shirts that I believe that you would love. The tag said something about shirts for Canada. We were in Ohio. Although, my daughter's boyfriend is going to college in Canada.
I love your goodwill stores but here in KC Missouri the stores are junk and I mean junk!!!
Alabama is even worse…
Hope that is a glassy baby Mikey!! Good luck to SuperCort on her surgery🙏🏻 #moneybagger💰🌵🌵💰🌵🌵💰
its glassy baby!!!!! Thank you so much❤❤
I just subscribed. I’m next door in Kingman. You are so funny. We aren’t allowed to touch the white carts Have to wait til they put the stuff out
I knew it was a Glassy Baby as soon as you picked it up. I have found 2 in the last 2 years. I hope you bought that glass ball. It looked like it had the moon inside. Prayers for your dear wife!🙏😊
Went to a local goodwill whie visiting family . Its a brand new store and wed waited for opening day. Once they oened the door we piled in and i kid you not there was a whole section of shelving on yhe back wall holdind hooks and baskets filled to the limits with things clearly tagged from the dollar tree @1.25 then retagged by goodwil for @3.00???? Im not sure whats going on with goodwill elite but shame on them. 😢
That's better than the 9.99 I saw.
That lg measuring cup. Would sell good around the holiday and canning time they will buy it
Thank you, Mikey, for speaking up for The unique things about Good Will 😮
Look up what the vice president of Goodwill makes. Goodwill doesn't do anything in my area to help the people.
I live in So CA and they do not have sale prices like Vegas. Senior day is 10% off and the color of the day is 50% off (good luck finding something). Bins (not that close to me) are $3.49 a pound for clothing.
In Pottstown Pennsylvania the good will used collar coded tickets and every Tuesday one color ticket all items that color was .25@ whatever happened to that goodwill?😢
Here in Arizona we only have 50% a color each week no more dollar day it sucks but I did like last sat 50% off everything but Halloween stuff
Here are bins stores are 4.49 pound or more I can't remember
MIKEY, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST 🥇 GLASSY BABY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. AND MY DEEPEST PRAYERS ARE WITH SUPERCOURT and Get Well Wishes 💕🧡👋👋👋💝💝🤕🤒❤❤🙏🙏🙏
thank you so much!!❤
Okk.. these are I think just my goodwills because we have a large homeless population... But 2 downsides you need an employee to put a code in to use the bathroom... like they dont give you the code.... you have to track down an employee and have them come with you .. 🧐🧐🧐 and you cant take carts outside because the wheels lock up... Ive had to do a lot of manhandling stuff out to the car 😭💪
Blue geode slice is a keeper
Try California Goodwill. With our minimum wage at over $16.50 the prices everywhere are astronomical including Goodwill.
Yay, how exciting, you found a glassybaby! Awesome find! 😉👍
thank you!
Horrible high prices at Good Will now!!!🤮
I believe you found a glassy baby. I'm still looking for one. 😊 How exciting.
yes I finally did. Good luck I hope yours comes soon!
I had the cat candle holder in 90 s bought at walmart
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽and well wishes for Super Court and CONGRATS on your GlassyBaby 🎉
Oh Boy, Mikey, one of your funniest videos!! Sure hope you found a Real glassy baby. Saturday is" National Thrift Store Day "- - Bet Goodwill doesn't have the whole store 50% off. Tell them you want a Big Discount! Big hug to SuperCort!
thank you so much!!
love goodwill I resell lots from there and always wear clothing from there :) and they have senior discounts too
I keep my treasures found a chanel brooch authentic worth 1300 Love it on my jackets was five bucks
I saw on the short girl picker a GW that has one price for for shirts, shoes, purses, pants, accessories. They had some things marked up but for the most part clothing was one price. Shirts were $7.99, shoes $7.99, accessories $1.99. I really wish all GW stores would do that. I think $15 for a used shirt is way too much. Would you ever pay $15 at a yard sale for someone's used, unwashed shirt? I wouldn't.
Depends what it's made of, the brand and it's condition.
That’s the way my GW is & from what I understand they are not all run by the same outfit. 🤷♀️
Congratulations on finishing your first Glassy Baby! It’s beautiful!
thank you! It has taken years
I had the kitty and the rabbit and soooo many people had them
Goodwill has gone way too far with their online sales. They will eventually realize that anything shippable up to $50 value should be in the retail store for under $20. Trying to get top dollar for those $25-$50 items can take several months to sell online and the labor cost adds ups.
You were saying you could get that toilet brush at the $.99 store. Where I live, there are no more $.99 stores! (CA) All closed in June.
OMG!! Fried bologna??? Too funny!!!
That is an upside down holder for an oil diffuser! It’s a replacement piece.
Ive always bought stuff at goodwill all brandnew stuff .somes used ok love everyday goodwill ive been sence opend up the stores .and still will go 😊❤bought lots of stuff ..
As is like yardsales fleamarkets 😊
I used to live in Vegas, from 2016 to 2019, and frankly, the Vegas Goodwills sucked! Mostly garbage is whats on the shelves, garage sale rejects. Savers on the other hand, I loved! Lot of wonderful stuff, and great sales, especially for seniors! I used to go to the one on Sahara and Decatur, but its closed down now.
Congrats. It is a glassy baby. I’m still looking
Congratulations you have found your first glassy baby❤
Yes! Thank you!
WHEN YOU SEE TWO TAG ASK THE FOR THE CHEEPER ONE. IN HAWAII 🏝️ THEY DO SO.😅😮😢🎉😂❤
The Goodwills in my area NEVER put their inventory on sale! Idky but they don't! 😢
I love goodwill. I only shop one store and I left with a cart full on Monday. Everything I’ve listed was $10.00 and up. I even found an Eddie Bauer full length jacket and paid about $12.00 and sold it for $125.00!!
awesome!
Hate GOODWILL They charge as much as a new item. I will never go there again.
@@aliekatsmomevery goodwill is a little different. Depends who is pricing. Some items they are matching or even higher than retail but you'll learn what their price person doesn't know if you visit often. Not that I support the idea of their CEO getting richer while underpaying and mistreating their employees......allegedly 😅
I got two puma b hoodies and not selling them and I got them for 7.50 each at goodwill they look new too I wearing one right now because I got wet and cold from the rain 🌧️☔ today in Arizona
Mikey, you ve got to be more careful, you can't afford any Goodwill Injuries 😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤. Much love from Chicago 🧡🙏🙏🙏
I won't buy couches in GW. But they have a decent assortment of books
Ha I found a Bentley mug! Kept it though. Thanks again for the tips!
HUEY FOR PRESIDENT!! 😊
As an employee and a shopper of over 15yrs I see both sides. Anything worth anything is suppose to go to auction to get the most $$$$ As a shopper that cannot shop where u work u must go to other GWs I simply look for the stuff that slips past n makes the floor. I look for a deal. Im also raising a grandchild n GWs clothes where i live is still cheaper than retail. Ill take 5.75 for Levis like new anyday. I do think GW needs to live up to the name n not hide behind words wt no meaning. Give back to the community that is giving all to you. I saw ZERO help to the ppl in NC that desperately needed clothing.
Mikey if you cannot read the bottom of the possible glassy baby maybe check into prescription glasses or a loop, I have both
I have good vision but I could not good the angle right to see it. I do need to remember my loop and blacklight though
Love the tootsi pops tin
IMO GW sucks for me … 99% percent of the good items go to goodwill auctions.
Or goes out the back door…..
They started doing that years ago. They check eBay, and see what the good donations are going for. Many workers get to cherry-pick off the best of the donations.
Thank you for your stream - I appreciate the info you share about selling/buying, especially your sense of humor - GRACIAS
thank you for watching
Those tins are super coolllllll
The wooden shoe is a wine bottle carrier. There's a piece missing on top.
My daughter stopped donating to goodwill and won’t shop there anymore. The CEO or president makes over a million a year
A few years ago oozing to donate for my grandmother I check best nonprofit organization for fair practice etc. People need to be aware like the girlscouts CEO also makes over a million meanwhile the girls walk door to door selling cookies and did you know less than 3% of that money goes back to the girls 97% goes to " administration costs!" Isses me off.😢
Me & wife will send donations to The Philippines,if more people did direct donations alit if these so called non profits will realize greed doesn’t pay …..
I liked the Fish that is a votive candle holder.
I like Thriftshop -
I like collecting old items - crystals - collection items …..
Just ask him if you can get it for cheaper price tell them you saw the other stores and cheaper❤
