Shopping at Goodwill anyone?

There are no good deals at my local Goodwill stores. Just a bunch of VCRs, table clocks and speakers with attached cables that used to be part of an all in one system. Not much audio CDs or vinyl neither. Plus vinyl got a lot more expensive.

I have found much more at pawn shops and Habitat for Humanity Stores:

Goodwill:

I dropped off some household goods after a move.  I was sent to the back/intake section of the store.  When unloading my stuff, I noticed a full KLH system 20 system on a table.  I inquired about it, and was told it "had to be checked out by the electronics guy".   The 'guy' would be in the next day and I was given a time.  I went back the next day, about 30 min after the time the "guy" was supposed to arrive.  I found neither the guy, nor the KLH.  When I asked what happened, the clerk I spoke to the day before pleaded ignorance, and said he did not remember talking to me....

Goodwill is a non profit and does not pay any property taxes for the stores they own or operate.  Most of their labor is either volunteer or people enrolled in a work skills program for which Goodwill receives a subsidy to offset any wages paid out.   ALL of their merchandise is free- donated by people.   One perk of donating is you receive a blank goodwill branded donation form, with their tax id number, as a receipt for your donation.  The staff members signs the form, but does not fill it out.  YOU fill out what you donate, and assign a value.....    This can be quite useful.  

I guess that I have been missing out by not checking Goodwill stores out.

My point was the CEO and quite a few of the top officials pay themselves 500k and up salary’s. Not saying it’s totally out of line but compare that to the Salvation Army whose CEO gets paid 13k per year. 

@drabina  Generally that's about what I find at Goodwill.....not much. the LP section in AZ. is terrible. But I need to go more often and get lucky again.  I'd love to find some of the goods my peers have listed they found...wow those are some good finds!!
