Bid on a digital camera at their online site. They show detailed pictures of the item and in the description it says that the camera is in good working cond.  One of the pictures shows the camera with the viewing screen on . I win the bid and when the camera arrived the camera turns on screen turns a blank white and does not show the image of the photo you are about to take.
 All items are sold "as is" . This was only a camera, expensive but if a company the size of Goodwill has to make their money misrepresenting the items they are selling, just think of what the future of on line storage auctions will be like.
   I know that there are still people out there that are able to do business in an honest ethical manner but all I can picture right now is bidding on a locker base on pictures posted only to find empty boxes when you go to claim the locker
 I guess my expectations of Goodwill were just a bit to much

Him and the manager are only part of the problem, you're the rest. There's a crime going on here, you've been made aware of it and you did what? Did you notify the local police of both the thefts and the defrauding of the auction buyers or did you just post about it here? Don't bi+ch about it if you're not willing to do something about it.

And that call to the police would go something like : no he didnt tell me who he was buying it from or what facility they are getting their stuff from.....but his name is  xx xxxx
   I would be willing to say that the police would need a little more info before they could do anything about it. 
  I have done something about it, I brought it up here,  where others in the business can be aware of it
 

If you think that the prices at the goodwill stores has increased take a look around their auction site Shopgoodwill.com

Picked this up for &150. fLIPPED IT FOR 4 on the way home

 

All together now.....Yuuuup!



That pretty much tosses out the money in his case also . I guess he wasnt as important as he thought he was.

 much about the military but, I wonder if that is the way they are painting the jets now. () This one looks like it is unfinished and needs a paint job.


I think that paint job was done in the 60's considering the type of plane it is, and yea they are loud, especially with full afterburner kicked in

Hopefully some of us old cynics haven't ruined your perception of the storage auction business.

Not  at all,  I have learned to take a step back and observe approach before I run out and start  buying anything
