Posted - Jan 15 2010 : 12:28:38 PM ....use the Shop Goodwill website? It's like a Goodwill auction. I signed up, and the prices seem pretty good on stuff I shop for - mostly vintage clothes, hats, etc., but the handling and shipping seem absurd! Anybody ever bought anything from the site?

Posted - Mar 15 2010 : 9:30:35 PM I don't use the Goodwill site because I can't try on the clothes I'm tall and women's clothes never seem to be made for me [ever have the back of your shirt ride up when you're outside working in the cold? Burr!]. I noticed that the cool antiques and affordable rare stuff disappeared out of our local Goodwill when I was in Apache Junction, AZ. One of the clerks told me everything was on the web site. It's not a thrift store if things cost as much as they do in an antique shop... Carla

Posted - Mar 13 2010 : 7:49:45 PM I love ShopGoodwill.com :} The shipping varies depending on which store is sending it, but so far I've gotten a terrific double thermos picnic set, a 50s hand-crank salad master, little vintage flower napkin rings, and a very pretty chip and dip dish shaped like a lily pad.
I do agree with Pat, though; if I didn't stick to my initial price cap, I'm sure I'd be tempted to spend a fortune :} There are a lot of good deals though. They have a lot of the features of other auction sites, and I feel good knowing I'm supporting Goodwill.

Posted - Jan 27 2010 : 08:55:59 AM I have used shopgoodwill.com. It's a very neat site. Shipping anywhere is really costly. I usually can guess how much shipping will be. So, if I find something to bid on I set a $ amount and include the shipping in that $ amount. The trick is not to go above that amount on bidding. Sometimes I lose the bid because of my set $ amount. But then sometimes I get the bid and that is really a great feeling. Good luck shopping. |
