I think whoever is donating a box of gold jewellery to goodwill probably has more freedom dollars than they can spend before they die and aren't fussed about 18k
The amount of good stuff I got at Holand mebel here in Poland in all sorts of random boxes is insane. From old star wars figures to games and even history value stuff. There was an album about the berlin wall signed by someone. In the album it was stated that only 4 of them existed. Idk if thats true. We got that album for dirt cheap. We still go there from time to time. My dad usually buys some good tools from germany there. Second hand shops are a gold chest.

Not even remotely close. Probably for LEGO specifically, but there are plenty of stories of stupidly expensive things being found at a thrift. Like your average high-end Rolex can sell for well over $50k, people have definitely gotten those from thrifts before.

They started bidding at 7.99, it just got out of hand quickly Goodwill is definitely a sketchy company, but they make absolutely no illusions about their intent not being to give their shopping customers a good deal but to do anything in their power to drive up revenue for their other programs
I recalled buying a majority of my bionicles at goodwill and savers. A majority of bionicles would either be a hit or miss, some being just bags of parts or full bionicles. I remembered buying like five hero factory bionicles in one bag for like 8 dollars.
I've had to volunteer at a few Goodwill stores. The best stuff NEVER hits the floor. We had to scan everything and it would tell us if it goes on the floor or set aside to sell online. Basically anything that wasn't junk and you would actually want went online
EXACTLY I can't believe nobody else is acknowledging this. Also, Goodwill are the ones who got the sale for 18k. 1k was just the starting bid. Look on their website, tho. They are scalping everything valuable for themselves and selling it for collector prices.

So why are they starting bids in the thousands, and why is everything on their website more expensive than if I bought it on Ebay?
I have a friend who has one of these because their dad worked at Legoland in Cali during the launch of Bionicle. He still has it and keeps it on the shelf right next to his 24K gold-plated Mewtwo card from the Burger King promotion. It looks just as nice, but it's not nearly as valuable as the mask.
"That's it grandma!! Pack your bags!! Your going straight to the home you feared you'd end up at!! Now unless you can get 20 grand cash to buy me another one, it's off to the state nursing home for you!!!" 😂

Yeah I don't go to Goodwill anymore because they started treating themselves like an actual firsthand corporate ass store instead of the second hand for the people by the people thrift shop they are
This short is a little misleading, the mask was sold on Goodwills in house auction website Everything on there starts at 7.99+ shipping and then customers bid on it like eBay with bad web design So they didn't price it for $1000, the bidders did Because it's not as popular as eBay you can actually get comparatively good deals on collectable there BUT fair warning it's absolutely vital to check the shipping/handling estimates because some of the stores charge absolutely insane rates
Don’t feel bad for goodwill, they overcharge for everything. They probably thought it was only worth $250 at best and quadrupled the price for funsies.
For 18 grand i could of had a mild 3d printed, had 24k gold melted down, and had that bionics mask made 😂 and then with the remaining 6 grand you could probably get pretty realistic fake paperwork on it. And you could definitely make that box. If lego doesn't know exactly where they are or who has them, there's no reason someone couldn't fake one and pass it off as authentic.
As someone who watched the 7 or so times it was up for auction I decided to look into it. They kept rejecting sale until it sold for what they wanted it to, they did this by bidding the sale price they wanted at the end and then not paying to keep listing the item over and over in order to attract more attention and media coverage.

Fun fact when I was only 7-8 Yo, I went to a local Lego store and the shop owner gave me one of these. I was a regular, and my parents well they had spent a good amount of Lego $.
