| - A Goodwill with no clothing? What are they doing with all the clothes I donate? Sending them to a less desirable location in Phoenix? Only in Scottsdale. In fact, this Goodwill is actually under the name "Redesign by Goodwill," and sells only furniture (new and used) and household items.
My mom has an addiction, several in fact, including hunting for "collectibles" in thrift shops that she can consign for more. The problem is if she buys 100 items for $1 each, and sells 2 of them for $5, she's made a profit in her mind. Anywho, on her recent visit she insisted we visit a variety of thrift stores and garage sales. This was our first stop.
Upon walking in, I noticed it smelled like potpourri. Maybe it was because they don't sell clothing, but in any case, potpourri beats the smell of a moth ball or old people. Before I noticed the way this Goodwill is marketed, I was astonished at some of the furniture. Why it looked hardly used. Because it wasn't. There is some used furniture, however, and you'll know it when you see it. There was a ton of other household/kitchen items. Not a bad place to get that kind of stuff as some was pretty reasonably priced. Also, we went on a Saturday and found they offer half off of anything with a date over so many days old, so that's a bonus I guess. I didn't buy anything, but my mom did. I think she's going to end up appearing on Hoarders.
