Is it possible to price haggle at the Goodwill?
I know, what kind of cheapskate am I????
But there is an item at the Goodwill that, frankly, I don't think is worth the $20 they want for it. Can I make an offer? Do the people who work the floor have the power to grant a less expensive price on something.
FWIW, while not the item I had in mind, this particular Goodwill slapped a $100 price tag on a pram from circa 1950. While a very cool and kitschy vintage item, the thing was in horrendous shape and is not worth that kind of money, IMO....
Geez! What a turd! :whatever: :lmao:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x9078184

It's in the nature of primitives to always try to avoid being cheated.
Everybody's out to cheat them, according to the primitives.
Of course, that's projection among the primitives.
It doesn't surprise me, that a primitive would want to cheat a non-profit thrift store; I suspect primitives even shoplift stuff there.
-
If it is an item that would greatly harm the primitive if used improperly, I say, just let it have it.
If not, stand firm, Goodwill.

I wonder how much they pay for fast internet access, weed, and Cheetos.

Wow.
Would they talk down the price at the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) store too?

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought for sure it was another greenbriar question.

"But its not worth a quarter, how about 22 cents?"

Some items at Goodwill will make you go WTF!!! You can get it brand new cheaper.

I thought the whole purpose of buying at Goodwill was a charitable donation to help support retarded folks. Isn't it understood that the merchandise is mostly tossed out junk?

I shop at Goodwill sometimes because it's closer but Salvation Army is MUCH better, and cheaper. You have to sift through a lot more but I absolutely LOVE vintage clothing and Salvation Army is the best place to find it. Mine runs specials everyday. Different colored tags are either a dollar (sometimes 50 cents) for clothes and 75% off for miscellaneous stuff (housewares, etc.). I got a really cool leather motorcycle jacket and a black leather skirt for $1 each. I figure if I can't get it on discount day then I wasn't meant to have it. You can even call and ask what color tags are discounted. The telephone is an amazing modern invention.

Here's a novel idea, DUmbass!
ASK THEM!!!!! :thatsright:
They'll either tell you ok, or get the "F" out.... :bird:
Damned ball-less, dickless, hapless, hopeless, bug-eyed, inbred, dog-licking, sack of monkey shit, DUmmie! :hammer:
You have NO problem "telling off" a fundie, conservative, repug, whatever, but you're too damned retarded to price haggle.... :shortbus:
Are you a COMPLETE LOSER, or just one in real life? :loser:

We have a few here that benefit the local children's hospital. Their prices are great and they give military discounts.
