Complete joke of a store... Everything given to store is for free... Goodwill pays zero dollars for inventory.... But yet all free used items.... Are marked up 3 times more then it's worth... based on brand or what they think that it will sell for ?! Who is in charge of saying what brand lists for what amount ? Where is the brand list of what things should cost ??? Can the people see that list please ma'am/sir? Its based on your personal thoughts for price gouging... not a set rate. Liar !!! Are you the brand police? Its given to you all literally and donated for the goodwill of other people.... but you all are not helping those people at all (call yourself NON PROFIT) YEAH LOOK AT THE PRICES....... ON USED CLOTHES AND SHOES!!! Everything you all do is for profit !!!! and turning all used donated items... Some watches, purses cost 20.00 each or more.... Like who does that ?? These items were free to you...free to the company Goodwill !!! This "Goodwill" place cost more then a yard sale !!! Seriously Non PROFIT ??? LIAR!! Shame on you all !! Shame shame shame..... Then to top that off... You all put holes in clothes by putting those tags in them for more money prices, Then still charging top dollar for holes in clothes... Literally... money hungry store !!! But yall help the people of your state and county? No you don't, stop lying.... Your helping your own pockets !!! Period. Sad excuse for a store. Do not donate to Goodwill... They are not for the people... They rip the people off.. who really...

I drive up from Toledo to visit the Goodwill stores in Lambertville and Monroe. They are dramatically different than the ones in Ohio. To start with, the MI Goodwill stores tend to put out the majority of what is donated. They aren't sifting it for the good stuff and only putting out the trash. They also have a rewards program that gives you $5 off your next purchase on a regular basis. As others have mentioned, sometimes their prices are unreasonable. With that said, their managers have been great about negotiating these prices. For example, the other day they had an older Roomba vacuum listed for $150. All the pieces were there and it still has some function even with it being older. I pointed out to the manager that this model sells for around $30 on eBay and he ended up selling it to me for $20. I was also able to negotiate a Xbox 360 from $100 down to $25. Another nice thing is that these MI stores get overflow products from Target. So there are often brand new heavily discounted items available. For example, I found a 20000 maH name-brand USB-C portable battery for $10 that retails for $99. Overall I'd give this location 5 stars. Docking a star because it would be nice if their prices were appropriate in the first place, but good that they're willing to reevaluate...
