    My friend's daughter actually worked at couple Goodwills near ritzy areas... According to her they have the staff be on the lookout for luxury brands and high priced items... they then send those items to their warehouse where they sell those online

      I live in Metro Atlanta. Used to find nice purses, shoes, jewelry. Not anymore. A worker at one store told me they hold all jewelry back for online auction and have someone who checks all merchandise before it goes on the sales floor. True? I don’t know. 🤷

    CT reseller here. I was born and raised in Norwalk which is a town over from Westport and I’ve only been to that location once over 12yrs ago. Seems like they did an updated renovation. I remember they did have high end brands like Gucci, Louis V and Michael Kors purses behind the glass up front at the time but I do see comments about employees now keeping those items from the floor. What a shame. Also I have a video in the 2nd store you visited in Fairfield (not uploaded yet) but I was there in March last year. That is a newer location opened maybe 5yrs ago and I did find a few items to resell and a couple things for myself. I mainly source clothing (vintage tees) but will be expanding in the near future. Looking to go back that one soon once I catch up on my videos. But great finds in the media section and great video as always!

    Pro tip, if you drop service you don't have to fully restart your phone. Just turn on airplane mode then turn it back off after ten seconds. Your phone antenna got confused when transferring from one cell tower to another, and this gives it a hard reset.

    Just because a GW is in an expensive area means NOTHING! They may have higher dollar items donated there, but all the best items don’t make it to the sales floor. Corporate instead directs them to send those items in to be sold on the goodwill finds website. I live in one of the most expensive areas in the country and have made friends with local GW managers and have actually seen the printouts showing exactly what brands and such MUST be sent to corporate. The stuff that makes it to the floor is mid range at best, and the rest is literally junk. It’s pretty infuriating!

      As I showed in the video, there weren't many items that differed from a normal goodwill. Clothing was overpriced. Hard goods were junk and I could have scooped up some printers but I already have a backlog of electronics that I need to test. It takes a lot of time to source, film, edit, list, pack and ship. I have to be picky with what I buy at the moment since I am low on space.
