Had never heard of them. I've noticed that goodwill is actually quite spendy relative to other thrift shops here, and wondered what eventually happens with the excess that is not moveable at those prices. I wonder why they don't just offer a bargain close out bin at each location and reduce the amount they have to funnel to the outlet or dump?
