Goodwill Store and Donation Center — Local services in Alton

I’m going to start sharing the un logical trend that goodwill has on pricing . They need to train there managers in merchandising And as well as taking that negative vibe in there mind that the customer is upset because they want to get over on them. I know some people will always complain and some people will always scam but this is getting ridiculous. No I’m not talking about paying 478 for a shirt that is not a big deal to me I’m talking about the towel that is a tiny wash cloth that came from Walmart for three bucks and Goodwill is selling it for 299 I’m ok with paying more for things especially that are deserved . But if I see one more thing that is literally priced 4 bucks clearly that I could go get at dollar tree for a dollar or dollar general for 7 and it’s priced dramatically above the original price that is clearly stated on there , I’m notifying the proper authorities. It’s illegal to do that ....

Great place to find Oddball things you're looking for or even home furnishings. Some items are quite overpriced and others are good but considering everything is donated I think it is ridiculous to ask such high amounts for used items that are supposed to be for charity. If they really want to help people on a tight budget they should remember they got the items free!!! They should be required two put the appropriate price on everything, giving opportunity to low income people to buy what they need. At the very least anyone should be able to negotiate prices with them and meet in the middle. I bought DVDs from this Goodwill and did not even think about checking the cases so when I got home for of the DVDs weren't even in there and I just paid...

I understand goodwill needing to make money off the items they are given but this location literally sells things for their actual value and not a discounted rate. There is a set of steam trunks there that are priced at $145!!!! For goodwill items!! I looked them up and that’s what they sell for online. I would say to people if you are going to donate nice things then maybe not take them here because you are giving them away so people with less money can afford nice things but goodwill is not keeping up with their end. What you give them is sold for an outrageous price at 100% profit. Maybe just post them on Facebook for free! That’s what I will be doing...
