Unfortunately the NI Goodwills...

Unfortunately the NI Goodwills try to make their money faster than other Goodwills by overvaluing prices. They try to justify their prices by hanging printouts of "ASKING" prices of similar items on ebay. What they don't take into account is that you can "ask" any price, doesn't mean people are dumb enough to pay that.

Compared to other Goodwills (3 on Randall Rd), they are out of line. Items sit on the shelf, then they try incremental reductions. Still too high.

If items were That valuable, they would have been sold privately. We donate to Goodwill to help them with their mission and help the people who shop there by giving them a good deal.

An example, a new pair of Isotoner slippers in the display case. Ebay and manufactures price says $16.00. At TJMAXX, item was never more than $6.99. End of season sale at Kohls has them for $2.99.

Huntley Goodwill has sticker price of $8.99.

I'm not going to this one anymore
