Dissn' Good Will

YEP! You read it right, I'm dissin' the Steele Creek Good Will closest to my house! The prices that are charged for furniture is crazy! I went to a few other Good Will's and the workers told me that the Steele creek Store can charge more because people buy it! ::PEOPLE STOP BUYING IT!::

All of my Craigslist items sold. Except for one and that is because I almost got scammed. One buyer offered me a price for 3 items. I agreed. He then tried to take this item. He was also a resale buyer for consignment shops! NO WAY JOSE! The great thing about craigslist is you can go directly to your account and view all the things listed. I showed him how that piece listed. BOOYAH, CYA! One downside about Craigslist is sometimes you get spammers and no shows, and people love to low ball. I love to bargain so I put out a higher price, knowing they will ask less and then I counter in the middle getting the price I wanted. WIN WIN.

Here is an example to me of charging in excess for something that isn't worth it.
Steele Creek Good Will,


The cost: $12.99


This was really a piece of junk, the back was broken, legs damaged and topped scratched.




This piece, a kitchen shelf or something, $49.99 also. I mean they were USED and donated free. They can keep their high over priced furniture because I found freecycle.
But every now and then you do find a steal at the GW! and I have found steals before. You just have to frequent often and keep your eyes peeled.
