The Salvation Army in my town shows far more of a "goodwill" towards the less fortunate then Goodwill. Their prices are damn near retail, they have to have a 1/2 sale once a month just to move s!ht out of that place.

yeah, I've stopped visiting the salvation army stores. Still ok for clothes, but other than that, nothing to write home about. no coupons either :D

g/f keeps harping on me because I can afford to shop elsewhere, but I'm a deal seeker at heart, regardless of my monetary status :D

Good will owns. I bought like 5 t-shirts from a local good will. They were name brand, Rusty, Volcom, Quicksilver. Only cost me 99 cents each. A litte trouble finding Mediums though, mostly larges.

Granted, the xbox isn't that hot of a price. I'll probably hock it on craigslist. Right now the only game that looks fun to me is guitar hero.

Good luck finding Guitar Hero for the xbox.....

dialup be damned

everything is in perfect working condition...


what the hell, your goodwill has coupons?

the one here feels like a kmart with dim lighting ( makes it more depressing ) plus they have no cool stuff, just worthless junk.
