Went to this Goodwill this past Sat and tried to purchase 5 Duraflame logs. They were priced at 4.99. Ive bought these at other Goodwills for 1.99 and thought they had made a mistake so my husband asked someone in back. They said the price is 4.99. I told them thats higher than retail. I put the logs back. Since I had a doctors appt close by this Goodwill today, we stopped by there after my appt to see if they had lowered the prices. I found all 5 back in the corner where I found them previously only this time one was torn open and junk thrown on top of the others. Still priced 4.99. My husband talked the Jamie, the manager, and she said to tell the lady up front that Jamie said theyre 1.99. So I went and got 4 logs, leaving the one that was torn open. Get to the register and the girl had to call Jamie several times. She finally answered and said just the log with no price was 1.99, and the rest were 4.99. All of the logs had a price sticker of 4.99. Does this make any sense? Mid-April and nobody is going to buy these logs except someone like me who buys ahead of time. I doubt Goodwill bought these logs. Im assuming they were given as most things are. The girl at the front said theres million dollar homes near there and things are going to be priced higher than at other Goodwills. Thats a crock but wasnt going to argue or discuss this problem with her. My husband and I left and will never go back there again.

Ther are scammers. Everytime I go there and I pick up simething its always wrong price bcs somene put it wrong. All ailes are for 4.99 and than u get twice as much at the register. Scammers. Always the same story. Always.

Decent store, but relatively small compared to other GWs. I would go out of my way to stop here, but if Im in the area, Id stop to see whats new. Ive found some great mens Blue jeans and shoes here in the past.

A lot of the clothes are cheaper at the North Platos Closet (and in better condition), not a lot of furniture but lots of kitchenware. Tons of clothes, though. Many purses and old electronics, lots of purses.

Its a smaller good will location and not the best one either. I was able to find a few nice shirts but the deals were only okay. They are also more disorganized than other goodwill locations I have been to

The staff seems overworked, as if abandoned by the corporate overlords. There are lots of things to buy here, but it seems like the shelves are stuffed with too much glassware and not enough "good stuff".

Prices are wayyyyyy to high on the clothes, books, and dvds.... Only thing I ever really get from here are the t-shirts that are $1.99...... Sometimes they have some fairly prices knick knacks....

I found a super creepy doll for my doll room at Katoween but unfortunately I also found a super creepy dude that followed me around the store talking and making really uncomfortable.

Decent clothing selection; the employees seemed distant and lacked drive and appeared apathetic in regards to placing any concern on the customer and his or her shopping experience.

Im not sure why Paul Sedory said this location is closed, but it is not. Ive been going there frequently for the last 2 years and it has never closed down except for holidays.

Found more than I bargained for (in a good way). Experience was 5 stars, but only gets 4 because Goodwill doesnt give back to the community like it used to.

I have had to go here a few times to get props for karaoke. It may take some time finding the things you need but you will usually get it at a good price.

Lovely store with great range of clothes and shoes! They also sell some brand new items like jewerlies or sweemsuits. Very friendly and helpful stuff.

Even though they guys in the back broke one desk i bought, I found a really great Ikea style desk for $20, so Im pretty happy with them.

This Goodwill is way over priced! I know the point is to make money, but 75% of the items cost as much or MORE than when new in stores.
