Great selection. Prices are ridiculously high. Hard pass on returning. There were quite a few items I would have bought if they were not so expensive. Goodwill would actually sell more and make more money if items were reasonably priced. Everything I wanted was like $20 and up. For used items!

The prices at this specific goodwill are high. Who wants to buy used puzzles for $6-7 if you don’t know if all the pieces are there. I’ve also noticed they stick the goodwill tag over the target clearance tag that was clearly for less. It’s to bad. I’ll donate and shop somewhere else.
