The Finds: Goodwill Version

Sorry for the lack of post the last few days. Last week was nuts. In some very god and some, a little -less- good ways. I went to a live auction last Thursday and picked up some awesome deals! I'll post about that later. As for now here is a short story I wrote last week but never got around to posting.

Have you ever heard of the Goodwill Outlet Store? If not you should find one in your area. It is the craziest thing you have ever seen (see picture to the left). They have a roughly 15,000 sqft. open room with around 40 huge plastic bins on wheels. Every hour or so they bring out new bins of items. Inside the bins are everything from roller skates to tea kettle. They aren't sorted, priced or organized at all. They are just thrown in, its pretty wild.

Everybody huddles around the bins as the bring them out and frantically searches through the bin trying to find...whatever it is they are there to find. Once you are ready to checkout you then proceed to the front.

You don't pay by the piece, nothing is labeled. Rather, you pay by the tonnage. $1.58 per lb. The more you get the cheaper it is. Its a pretty novel concept actually.

Well a few days ago I was on my way back from a local auction (more on that later) so I decided to stop by and see what they had. This was only my second time to visit but I picked up a few sweet items.
