Anybody else hate goodwill?
I recently found out that my local goodwill has an agreement with "Abebooks.com". Basically, Abebooks installs a scanner in the back of goodwill and when new media (video games, books, movies, music, etc.) comes in, the goodwill employees scan each item. There is an indicator that tells the employee to put it on the Abebooks shelf or the standard goodwill shelf. Obviously, they are filtering out the items of value.
Then Abebooks periodically brings a truck to pick up all the abebooks item, which they then sell online and give goodwill a percentage of the profit.
Ordinarily I wouldn't see a problem with a company doing this to help revenue, but it is f***ing Goodwill! It is a non-profit and they were founded to give back to the same community that gave to them! Unless someone knows something that I don't, this is complete bulls**t! No wonder I haven't been able to find anything anymore.
Anyway, thought this might be a good place to rant and to share what your local goodwill may be up to.
