<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 4518509, member: 37"]Our local Goodwill has just placed a $1.99 minimum on everything they sell. Consequently, there's tons of glassware and ceramics piling up on the shelves. None of it is very good. There is the odd piece of depression, etched glass, and even some pattern glass. On the other hand, there are stacks of saucers, scads of modern tumblers, etc. I guess it does go to half price if you pay attention to the color on the tags and it has been there long enough. None of this is worth it and I don't have the patience or perseverance to folow that closely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can't see their logic here. They used to move everything when priced a dollar or less. Now they have to do something at some point with all this excess. I know they ship some stuff that doesn't sell to the home office 100 miles away where it is sold in lots for less. Otherwise, some is recycleable and there is the trash. Their disposal fees have to be sky high already. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else seeing this? Comments?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
