    I found out recently that Goodwill is a For Profit business. Goodwill has Ebay Auctions that siphon off all the high end stuff they receive. Also that Car that you donate to Goodwill- well it just goes to auction and Goodwill reaps all the proceeds of the sale. Their prices have gotten way out of whack too. Used to be you could go in there and find deals.. now it's more like pawn shop prices than some "charity tying to do good" prices

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Goodwill is huge. I've seen 4 new "Donation Express" locations open up in the last year on top of the 5 or so that were already here, and I know of only 2 stores in the area. Where are they taking all of this stuff?
