<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 510528, member: 1262"]For Goodwill at least I get the strong impression that their retail operations are an afterthought and that they are only playing thrift shop operator. Their business on shopgoodwill.com, eBay, and wherever else they sell all of the choice goods must be their main source of revenue and everything else is gravy. In my area there are a few Goodwill Boutique locations that have upscale goods with extremely high prices to match. I find a few good items in the boutiques but have to wait until 50% day to justify a purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good thrift stores are the smaller charities that actually put the donations they receive out on the sales floor.
