PSA that you will never find any hidden gems at Goodwill ever again. Goodwill started an e-commerce website and they have people in the back who sort through everything and anything of any value is sent to e-commerce and appraised and sold at auction.

So the days of going to goodwill and finding cool stuff are over, it's all just dead people's clothes now. Support your local thrift stores by going there instead

Woah, when and how did you learn that?

Related to someone who works at Goodwill, recently.

80% of their employees don't fucking care. So stuff still slips through

It's a lot more rare for sure. Some still do have nice stuff, but it's much, much more of shitshow than it used to be. Unfortunately not many independent thrift stores around me, and the few that are generally have nice deals even less often than goodwill.

I remember I used to see xboxes and PlayStations on the shelves frequently. In the last year I've seen 2 wiis, 1 wii u, and 1 Xbox 360. No computers anymore. No cool software. The shelves are getting more barren.

My local thrift stores are just as shitty as Goodwill

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Only stuff I like in some thrift store is power supply/adapter. Say I need for a project or to replace faulty one, a 8.4V 300mA wallwart? a 15VAC one? etc, just go in the bin at the thrift store, some are 1$ or 2$ It's dull I know.
