When I was growing up Goodwill was somewhere you could go when you needed something to help you out - clothes, furniture, shoes... Now it seems that they are only out to make huge profits off items they get for nothing. Don't let the term ""Non-Profit"" fool you. It is public knowledge that they pay themselves outrageous salaries and funnel their earnings in other ways to take advantage of people in need.
Pros: In a pinch you can find odd items that can't be found elsewhere.
Cons: Prices close to retail without the guarantees.
