I go to my local one and it is always well run, kind staff, and pretty decent finds.

Goodwill auctions

Goodwill auctions appear rigged.

This is a short summary. In 9 seconds a fellow bidder was able to determine my actual highest offer (which was not shown) and bid 10 cents higher. An impossible feat unless they had a way to know what my actual high offer was (like from someone at Goodwill).

Goodwill prices so high that on 1/2 price day the stuff doesnt sell. Goes to the bins i guess. Hire smarter managers.

Snopes, urged people not to donate to several organizations including Goodwill, stating, "CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year. I'm urging people not to buy from Goodwill!
I visited my Goodwill Neighborhood Store Today. The price on a few small statures was listed $12.99 EACH, and Three-Dollar Tree Candle Holders were $3.99 Each. I learned from the Manager,
The person hired for that job looks at the object and determines how much she/he thinks it's worth. The reflection on the pricing at the Conway store is more for profit than Charity! Who is pricing the items at your neighborhood GoodWill store?

Goodwill sucks you guys don’t know how to treat people if you treat your customers like crap your bathrooms always stink and you raise the prices to where we can’t even afford it. A lot of us come to the Goodwill because we’re on a budget and you took all the dressing rooms out. You expect us to try clothes on at home and come all the way back to your storage or return them at our cost of gas that’s not cool it’s not cool at all it’s getting to the point where I don’t even wanna go to any goodwill ever again because you guys are horrible as far as prices as far as workers, and as far as Hygiene

My daughter was in a abusive relationship and left one night with nothing. She went into her local Goodwill and told them her situation that she had no clothing. They gave her 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants and a pair of shoes. I know people give to them to help others in need, but Goodwill has lost that perspective. Will never step foot in another one.

I applied for a driving job with goodwill in Waynesboro va on application never asked if I was a felon went for a interview and at end was asked if I was a felon then was sent email with job offer I accepted it then never got job the guy I talked to said we have see if I get accepted why send me a letter offering the job if they knew I wasn't getting the job but yet he tells me if I smoke weed it's fine just don't smoke at work so I guess if I get high before work its ok to come in high get in a wreck and injured myself or someone else then he tells me he was a drug addicted but goodwill hired him and I know several people working at goodwill that was drug addicted so how is fair to pick and choose what felons get hired a felon is a felon ibthink it's unfair and wrong if your a felon then maybe goodwill shouldn't hire you or maybe it's discrimination

Seattle Dearborn, the main hub, is a joke! The PRICING POLICE! They set colors tags half off yet deny to sell it that price. Worst scam of all time.. they are so proud that they offer training for new hires! ALL EMPLOYERS TRAIN!! Nothing special! DO NOT DONATE. EVERYTHING THEY SELL IS REVENUE. AND ALL ITEMS WERE GIVEN TO THEM FOR FREE.

Goodwill Southern California has generally raised prices on donated items. A regular mug costs $3.99, which is even more than one new mug W**mart sells. This is ridiculous! At a store in Goodwill in Los Angeles, I noticed that none of the items cost less than $3.99.
Is this still nonprofit Good Will?
Goodwill of Orange County store also raised prices of donated items, but less than L.A. stores.

The staff seemed nice and was steady working and not standing around. The store in Charlotte Michigan is very put together and easy to find items. Only problem is their prices, they are way to expensive for used clothing and shoes. Especially when most are donated for free there prices should be cheaper. I’d rather go to Walmart or kohls and get a new pair for same price. Only downside is it’s getting more expensive other then that store was kept up and clean and nice staff.

I enjoy Goodwill retail stores here in St. Louis. They are usually clean, everything is displayed nicely, people are friendly, and it's always a surprise! You never know when you might find something at a real bargain price! I know there's a lot of uproar about the pricing, and I too have run across items that are priced in a way that makes your eyes open a bit wider, but most items are very reasonable when compared to other stores. Even if it's a bit higher than expected sometimes people forget that they too have employees to pay, overhead, etc. All in all it's always a worthwhile trip for me

I will never step foot inside their hostile stores. If you buy non-working junk, you are screwed. Caveat emptor.

Cool things for the low. Check it out and let's buy

i used to love goodwill. I always thought the main reason was to be affordable for those who need clothes. but you guys have all products given to goodwill for FREE. It should not cost 21 dollars for a pair of used jeans. goodwill should not be constantly upping prices; people blame it on buy and resellers but that honestly is just giving goodwill more profit so that's no reason for goodwill to start charging retail prices. There's no reason for them to be charging as much as they are now for donated used items, they're just becoming another greedy corporation.

GOODWILL SUCKS... They get their stuff from us for FREE. And charge you more than retail price. They used to be a good place to go for discount items, now you will pay more than new... you guys have lost your minds...

Delivery people suck. Rude as can be. Wasted several hours of my time & then wouldn’t wait 2 minutes for me. Amazingly rude & uncooperative.

I shop at Goodwill stores all the time, and out of all Atlanta stores, the one on NorthEast Plaza (Buford Highway) is the most horrible. Last Friday I walked into this store 17 minutes till closing time. Immediately, one of the managers started screaming at me that "the store is closed!" I pointed out that the doors are open, the time is 17 till, and I know exactly what I want, and I'll be in line to check-out in 1 minute. I grabbed a racquetball racket, and stood in line to the cash register. Immediately, the same manager/clerk started screaming at me that nobody will serve me and I need to leave. At that time, there were about 8 people in line, the time was 15 till closing time, one extremely not friendly cashier and 3 other employees just standing there chatting or roaming around the front area. I said that I'm not leaving, since I'm already in line, the store is open and this rude behavior is not warranted. A lady in line in front of me was very agitated, apparently, store employees tried to get rid of her as well, so she kept talking (to herself mostly) that she is not going anywhere... So as time went on, the only cashier kept ringing things up very slow, apparently trying to get to 8PM (closing time) before our turns came. So at 8PM, just as the line comes to lady in front of me, 4 police officers walk in, the cashier (who also said she was the manager) grabs her cash till and runs away, nodding to police officers that they need to get rid of us! At this time this whole ordeal becomes just as crazy as it was comical. I tried to ask the manager's name -- she refused. I asked where the store's customer information corner with numbers is located -- they said they don't know anything and simply ran away! The police escorted us out of the store -- there were 4(!) cars dispatched to escort us, very dangerous customer of Goodwill Thrift Store at NorthEast plaza out!! This was completely outrageous and evil behavior on the part of this location's employees. Apparently, the lady at the cash register was a manager, she kept saying that she doesn't care if we complain anywhere, that we were warned that at 8 pm the store will close and that they had right to kick us out any time they wanted. I have a video of this, and contacts of another customer, so outrageously kicked out of the store.
All of this was on cameras, if they were working and should definitely be investigated by upper management. I am a business owner with 25 year experience of running multiple locations of restaurants, bars and hotels and rarely have seen such blatant level of aggression towards clients.

doubled prices in my area, always an excuse why something can't be returned
I won't step in one of their stores ever again!

They also removed any discounts per the color of the week for blu-rays & other digital-optical media.

Never going back, never, Never, NEVER!

I will give goodwill a 0 if I could. Not only have they raised the prices higher than buying new at other stores, goodwill has the nerve to have a no return policy when they get free donations, they sell items that are filthy and sometimes are broken. The only work that I see is taking items to the floor to sell. No looking to make sure it works or is clean.

Racial discrimination and unprofessional banning of customers based on race. No one governing these employees they are simply allowed to treat anyone the way they want with no fear or discipline for their actions. Before donation to this company strongly consider throwing it away first or another charity that is willing at least consider it's community's cry for justice against these people.
