I enjoy coming here, but today was really crowded and there just wasn't anything of interest today. I don't understand why. One can usually find a multitude of items too lug home, but today was a total bust. I'm sure next time will be better.

Fellowship shoppers were friendly and helpful to us "first timers" some shoppers who appeared to be resellers were helpful and clearly on mission. When fresh items came out the hunt and competition for teasire was on. Bring gloves and wear clothing that you can stretch in and get dirty!

I walked into this Goodwill outlet initially with condescension, observing with disdain as the swarm of bargain hunters descended upon a new batch of goods brought out from the warehouse like sharks feasting upon chum. Honestly, I thought the whole spectacle was rather embarrassing. Then I found a quarterstaff in a bin. Yeah, an actual wooden quarterstaff, like the kind that Donatello would use to whoop Foot Clan ass. You can bet your sweet patootie that I walked around the store for the rest of our visit like Gandalf the Grey, and all who gazed upon my glorious discovery with green with envy. I also happened upon a (scattered, deconstructed) collection of miniature ships from a long out-of-print tabletop game, which I spent a good half hour gathering all of the pieces I could find, in order to salvage and rebuild as many ships as possible. I paid approximately $2.00 for a collection worth about x100 that, although I'm not likely to sell them, because I have an actual use for them! But the real jackpot ended up being the ~8 dresses and complete outfits that my wife picked out for herself, totaling around $6.00 (as most items, including everything mentioned above, is priced by weight), and each of them brand new, high-quality articles of clothing that she absolutely fell in love with. NOW I understand why the swarm of fashionistas and wanna-be influencers were falling over each other, trying to pick out the hottest items from the trough of slop dished out from the warehouse at regular intervals. This is bargain hunting in its ultimate form. Sure, there is a lot of useless crap to sift through, but with a keen eye and quick reflexes, anyone can walk away from this Goodwill location adorned like a princess, or equipped like a wandering wizard...depending on your personal style.

I guess the Goodwill bins are a full time profession for some folks. It is what it is, I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. The staff are friendly. But its annoying when people load up their carts and line them up at the back of the store, or when they just hang out chit chatting in the way waiting for the next bins to come out. I do score some neat stuff sometimes, but some people take it way too seriously ripping through the bins flinging things all over. My reccomendation would be to wear gloves.

I used to go here as a teen and would find really great stuff. The resellers have ruined it, its mainly teenagers but theres a variety. Its like a bunch of cockroaches when a new bin comes out. They really need to have hours for resellers and hours for the rest of us, everything "trendy" is immediately grabbed and resold for atleast $100 online. Some people & their families have relied on the bins to source clothing and other items for an affordable price. I hope the reseller trend dies out and they go back to spending mommy and daddies money on their designer clothes instead of taking from poor people.
