Yeah,i feel the same way,these places are starting to get greedy..Eventually,all the others will follow through,only a matter of time.
horsey, give it up and go back to grazing in your pasture. Here is another poster who happens to agree with my posting regarding Goodwill and their greediness. Anyone who disagrees with you is automatically labeled "worthless"? My value is not found in impressing people like yourself anyway. Bullying and antagonizing people on blogs is never a good thing, so go find another hobby.
Just because somebody agrees doesn't make it right. You have made it clear, your collecting is more important than helping the needy. I see your point now. It makes perfect sense. It isn't selfish at all. What a great argument you put together. It really swayed me.
No, people that disagree with me are not automatically labeled worthless. I understand your frustrations with Goodwill not having any cheap games. I have been there. What I don't understand is how you can continue to bash them after being presented with their mission statement. They are doing what they need to do to help people. They are better off selling games at higher prices online. There is no debate. There is no "disagreement." That is a fact. It IS hypocritical of you to call them greedy for that. Goodwill wants to make more money to help more people. You want cheap atari games for your collection. Who is the greedy one? YOU!!!
This is a forum, not a blog. I am not bullying or antagonizing you. I am presenting you with the facts. It just so happens that the facts here are that you are selfish and greedy. That is hard for you to swallow. I understand that. Rik did agree with your assessment, but that was before Zwackery posted Goodwill's mission statement. I don't know Rik, but I bet you he has a level head on his shoulders and he changed his tune once he read the mission statement. I feel sorry for you.
I'm not trying to corner anyone in,but as far as charities go,I DON'T TRUST THEM.Do my dollars spent at the thrift or goodwills go to help the needy?I HOPE SO.But if most of it ended up in some head honchos personal bank account,i wouldn't be surprised.I donate to animal shelters,at least i know no one else but the animals will eat the donated food!
K guys sorry didn't mean for this to turn into an ugly thread but to get back on track went back to my local Goodwill today and they only had 3 2600 carts left. Luckily Carnival was still there. Gonna check the other GW's monday in area for misc stuff. Saw a Genesis there too for $14.99.
