You used to be able to get grandpa's old used golf clubs for $5/7 at goodwill and I put together a whole set for cheap. Moved and had to leave it behind now they put all the clubs straight online, you can't even get them at the stores anymore. And the price is barely better than a newvset from Walmart. I wanna golf again :(

    Video games are almost always ridiculous too. They’ll sell anything good online, and then charge like $10 for one of their 40 copies of Wii Fit.

    The only good place to thrift nowadays is the small local places run by like churches. Goodwill sells shitty acrylic yarn for more than it costs new, wants $20+ for used kitchen appliances, sells current dollar tree shit for $5…

    Goodwill fell off. It's worth noting how the stuff we buy is basically worthless for resale the moment we buy it, since cheap new stuff is outcompeting it. It's only value is use value.

    They do employ people who might not be able to get a job elsewhere, so not evil, just halfway shitty.
