Goodwill has seen a recent heat for its rising prices and continued price gouging, something that surprises keen purchasers considering it’s supposed to be a thrift store. But one California Goodwill worker has an extra message for those seeking designer goods in Goodwill’s showcase: “Don’t drop by, they sell the real items online.”
In a video with over 246,000 views, Alissa, a history teacher based in the California area, shared a recent discovery she made about Goodwill’s showcase and auction. Based on the testimony of a local Goodwill employee, most of the higher-priced items at Goodwill’s showcase are “fake,” with real, donated luxury goods going straight to the donation-based thrift store’s online auction website.
