I do understand that charity shops need to make money. but. as as been said, charging as much as a Real Store is just dumb! and broken, smelly, wrecked stuff at such high prices, is just bad business.

Despite the harm done to my wallet, though, I am still forced to agree with their new policy of charging more for designer items (though the old foogies in charge of the pricing will never understand that if a Marc Jacobs bag looks like it's been chewed up and pooped out by a polar bear, no one's going to buy it for fifty dollars).<BR/><BR/>For The Official Blogging Record Goodwill's new-found prices are not an attempt for the higher-ups to line their own pockets, it's so the company has the funds to pay for and supply jobs in and out of the company for the mentally and physically incapacitated. Goodwill mostly uses its revenue to fund homes that can simultaneously provide round-the-clock care and a feeling of independence for those who might otherwise be bound to their homes and left without social interaction.<BR/><BR/>Why this requires a pair of Nine West shoes with the broken heels to cost me nine-ninety-nine, I do not know.
