Goodwill is greedy and has unbalanced scales. I see the poorest people going in there and buying overpriced used stuff. Do they not know some of the stuff in there come from home goods, and home goods has it cheaper than Goodwill selling it high used...make it make since...

I bought a $3 shirt at Walmart. That was on sale.I decided I wasn't going to wear it because it was a little big. I took a few things to the Goodwill that I wasn't going to wear anymore. Went back to the store a couple of weeks later they had a price tag on the shirt that I dropped off.. they wanted $10 for that ugly thing!! This is why I no longer donate to the Goodwill! 😡👎☠️

6 dishes at $65.99 is $11 each + tax. Maybe slightly more than shown on the web purchase page even with shipping. BUT you get all 6 NOW. (A bird in hand...!) Goodwills near me are the last places I look for a bargain... only go now when hunting a specific type of clothing as they are always well organized and in bright light. There used to be a Goodwill center near Bradenton, FL that collected the "unsellables" from Goodwills nearby, then marked them down 50%... Now, THAT was a fun place to shop!

Not Salvation Army if you care about the LGBT+ community, though. Their policies are based in religious fundamentalism. They have repeatedly denied help to LGBT people as well as single mothers, and push their political agenda beyond the work that they do as a charity. Also, even if you don't care about any of that, like Goodwill, they use scan the items for their value as soon as they come into the shop, so anything actually valuable is typically not put out for sale and is instead sold directly online. This also means that you're much less likely to find a bargain because they'll want a "fair" price for the item. Honestly, the best thing you can do these days is find a smaller, local charity. Much better prices, and much less corruption. My go-to thrift store supports Women in Distress, an organization that helps women who have escaped abuse. In addition to the profit going towards the charity, women who are seeking help from the organization can go to the thrift store and pick out anything that might them to start a new life away from their abuser. A lot of local companies donate excess inventory to them, so you can even find a lot of new items. The prices are always very good and there are a lot of unique finds. I often donate items back to them if I end up not using them.

I don't understand where they get off charging antique resale and designer prices for free, donated goods. Sad thing is, if you donated those six milk glass plates and itemized your charitable giving for your taxes, Goodwill's tax value list might value them as $2.99. If Goodwill were honest about reselling them for $65.99, you would have been able to adjust your tax deduction to reflect a donation that was valued at $65.99. Seems like Goodwill is scamming both the tax codes and the donors whose donations are being undervalued.
