Manager is trying to be greedy on overpricing electronics. Asked to look at some 8-bit Nintendo games that were in the case and before she even pulled them out she said they were marked different prices, so I was thinking maybe $1-3 but I was dead wrong. She wanted $8 for the Mario Bros/Duck Hunt game that originally came with the system, I started laughing and she said thats what they were going for on Ebay and they were collectors items now. She then seemed angry that I told her no way and that I could buy them for $2 all long at the flea market. Let me explain something to anyone who is bothering to read this. In no way should a thrift store use Ebay pricing for anything they sell. First I know exactly what she was looking at, some people are so desperate they put a buy it now price up hopping some dope will come along and pay that. I know for a fact that at actual online auction, no one has ever paid more than $3 for the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge. It is very unethical as a business for the manager to try to device potential customers telling them that "Its worth it". If I wanted to cause a scene I could have explained to her I used to collect NES games myself, had over 100 titles that I had collected from the time I was 16yrs old until I was 28, never paying more than $4 a piece for any of them. But I was a victim of the declining economy back in 2010 and had to sell my collection to keep the bills paid. Im back on my feet good and was hoping I could have bought the 5 or so games they had to start building my collection again. But no, they want to severely price gouge and I will be calling the local corporate office Monday about how they want to use Ebay to set there prices. I guess that would explain why they also wanted $24 for the Denon 5 disc CD changer they had. I hate this place has gotten so money hungry, when they first opened you could find good deals on electronics there. I once found a nice Yamaha 6.1 home A/V receiver with optical inputs along with RCA and S-Video for $12. Thats the kind of deals they need to start having again. After all, isnt the whole purpose of shopping in a thrift store is to be thrifty?

Arrogant woman on sunday afternoon 6/26/11, met me at the dropoff site. walked out to my truck without any greeting at all, said "no" to the 1st 2 items she saw I had used Dj equiptment that I had refused to sell because i wanted to donate to goodwill. I left without donating anything, took it to my friend who gave me $400.00 and told me it was worth more.I dont know what her problem is . Short hair, wears glasses. Ill never donate there again !

This goodwill price some of their cloth differently from others, and they tell you that while you are ready to check out. One womens t shirt is even not new with tag, they pick it out and told me it is a $7 shirt instead of their regular price because "this is a good shirt", there is no price tag on it or anything, they just tell you and expect you to pay that. Dont know what type of game goodwill try to play but it is bad business!

I stop by lots of Goodwills, because you neeeever know what youll find. This is a good one, as they go. There is always decent clothing, and, although it depends on the day, you can find some really neat stuff. I bought a really large old school style hanging chalkboard there a couple of weeks ago for only $6. Score.

Decent thrift store, but Ive found the staff to be pretty hostile. The lady at the cash register was in a foul mood today and was taking it out on the customers. This has consistently been my experience. Sad, because the staff at the other stores are pretty nice.

Good stuff but they use ebay pricing, yet NO return policy! They take advantage of people with high prices! If u find an item that is not priced they will not price it for u and just say sorry....they also throw away all the toys u donate! Very sad!!

Got an amazing deal on leather Italian shoes here! Very large selection, some items are a bit more pricey, but it definitely beats retail!would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys thrift/second hand shops

This is one of the most fun GCF stores to go into. There is an employee there that always has a smiling face and is very energetic. If you want a good deal, we always seem to find something at this location.

This is a big store and they do a good job of keeping it clean. My only wish is that they would sort the clothes by size rather than color - that makes no sense.

Ive been here a few times. Staff is friendly. Store is super clean. Selection of clothing is excellent, too! I definitely enjoy coming here.

Convenient location. Staff pleasant and helpful. Always fun to hunt. Like any Good will you find in proportion to how long you stay to seek.

Beverly Rittner

Super nice staff. Store items reasonably priced. Cheaper than paying shipping and handling thru online stores. Always clean and neat.

I absolutely love this place. I left with 2 lamps this past weekend. I found a beautiful ornate mirror there a few weeks ago.

Staff is VERY rude at this location. I will never donate here again and will be donating at another location from now on.
