Value Village around here is notorious for selling shit from the dollar store that has printed-on-the-package price tags of $1-2 for $3, it's ridiculous.

Charging as much as they can get is very consistent with their mission. It’s not their mission to provide a low-cost store where poor people can buy things. It’s to create jobs. The people working at Goodwill are what the entire thing is about. And if they make more money they can add more jobs. It’s not a goal to have low prices.

Who made the jacket?
That's what I was thinking too. If it's expensive brand that might explain the high price.
My wife goes regularly to goodwill and those prices are for premium brands and most of the time they still have tags attached or at least look like they've never been worn. In her experience they keep that price for a few weeks and if it isn't sold they discount them deeply

Gnarly lint extra. Gonna cost ya!
Someone please correct me if im wrong because I'm too lazy to look it up, but I was told goodwill is for profit.
Hi, you’re wrong. Goodwill Industries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Thank you for both the correction and source. I will be using this in the future.
My pleasure 😁
Thank you for purchasing all these donated goods that we paid nothing to buy. Your purchase makes our job programme possible.
Do you want to round up to the nearest dollar on your purchase of donated goods, in order to donate to our job programme that you've already donated to?
... um... ... No?...
Edit: jokes aside, goodwill does do good for the community. I'm sure they've raised their prices in line with other price hikes, but I don't think that negates the good they still do. $35 US for a used coat they received as a free donation, IMO, is a bit excessive, but I can't blame them for trying to squeeze more out of their stock, since they do turn around and pour most of that back into the community.
