Well.. more profit I guess for this "charity"
I would have a serious ethical problem if I was sorting for Good Will, making min wage, and found 10K....
We have a thrift store down here, where the employee's take the best stuff, an get it for free. Which seems to me to be counter productive..your raising money for a cause as a non-profit, but allow your employee's to take the good stuff, instead of letting it be sold, or them paying for it. No wonder they always need money!:-o

PS - We need a facepalm smiley. Please?
Not me. If I found $10,000, I would take the whole $5,000 and walk down the hall to the boss' office with that $1,000 in my hand and I'd walk right in with that $500 & tell him I needed to talk to him about this hundred dollar bill I found on the way to work. :))Quote:

Sirscrapalot - I'm better at quotes then I am finding smileys.
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 :(
That explains why they still sell tube tv's for 30 bucks..LOL.
Glad I got my couple of thrift stores that go to a good cause, an are non-profit.

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?
