The thing about goodwill is they provide jobs that help people get on there feet. It's not really the clothes and the things that they sell there that they make all the money off of. I mean they make the money but that allows them to pay people and get them on there feet. That's what goodwill is about. You can also hit up your local thrift shops and a lot of your neighborhood thrift shops will have really good items that you can resell at a higher price. Sometimes, you can go to Google and Google for thrift shops in your neighborhood or you can find your nearest goodwill. That's going to be closest.
