Goodwill

Darn you Goodwill. I always return for your goodies.
Occasionally I can find a gem or two but you have to DIG.

Worse goodwills you will ever go to; too expensive and they look up every item of value before putting it out! They have computers in the back and they look up values on eBay and mark the items accordingly! If you’re looking for a place to find treasures to resell this is not the place to buy from! They have Great front end employees which are sadly under paid like all goodwills!

Typical Goodwill Store. You walk in, it’s musty, and you kinda wanna leave.
This Goodwill always has some pretty interesting shabby-​chic furniture and kitchen items at a decent price. If you head to the back of the store, you will find bookshelves full of books by popular authors. Hardbacks are only $ 1.25. I am not a sophisticate by any means, but I love the smell of an old yellowed book and at $ 1.25, I’m sold.
There is also the standard endless sea of clothing, most gently worn and some with the tags still on. I’m no stranger to hand-​me-​downs and curiosity has had me wander over to the dresses to see if I could find something interesting and vintage, but it’s mostly just a selection of things that I myself would donate away. It’s certainly not fancy, but the possibility that you could stumble upon something really interesting always looms.

If you search really hard through the unorganized piles of stuff, you can find some real gems.
For example, I went through a bin of children’s toys, and imagine my surprise when I found a large piece of metal hardware that normally I’d have to break open a lamp to get!
If you’re looking for ceramic figures missing at least one appendage, then look no further because this store always keeps broken items on it’s shelves.
In the mood to pay $ 1.99 for a chipped dollar store trinket? Then come on down to Hammonton Goodwill, where the price tags will always surprise you.
Ok on a serious note.
Lots of overpriced and broken items.
If Target donated to a thrift store and the item’s original price was $ 2.49, it’s obnoxious of Goodwill to price it for $ 4.99. I know it’s a charity, but they should also take into consideration that the people who shop there may not have a lot.
Every time I’ve ever gone, I’ve seen broken items on display.
I don’t like you Hammonton Goodwill, but I must be a masochist because I end up going back to you, only for you to disappoint me again.
