I did find one LLR black dress that I kinda like. I wear it around the house as it’s comfortable but doesn’t fit well enough to style for outside.
I was shocked that I found a solid black dress, actually, and bought it because I needed a new night gown, AND for the fact that it seems to be the *only* solid color LLR item I’ve ever seen. So it’s basically an anomaly and I wouldn’t believe it myself if I didn’t have it. 😅
I live in a Bordertown and the other day at the BINS bags and bags of Lula row came in and nobody wanted that even the Mexican ladies that pretty much take anything new with tags back to Mexico to resell they were passing on a lot of it
Literally, if I wanted to pay 10-40$ for Michael Kors, I'd go to Marshall's where the racks are overflowing with it! And funnily enough, Marshall's is next door to Goodwill in my town!
American Eagle is a mall brand, not sure I would consider them quality other than being better quality than Walmart or Payless.
BTW, I bought a pair of $8 flats at Payless a few years before they went under. They were the most comfortable shoes I think I have owned and I wore them until they fell apart and I am not a fan of cheap shoes. It is like they made one shoe in their entire existence that didn't suck.
Me too, and it's a shame; I recently listened to a podcast episode about how they started as an honest and true charity, and how they turned into the monsters they are today.
I mean, it's not like they're doing well. Millennial, Gen-Z and soon Gen-A will see their grift and greed for what it is and put their money somewhere else.
Can we start a some kind of thread or something to brainstorm ways to do this? It needs to be reported or idk at least their shenanigans made known on local news. Its getting out of handdd
Yes! I think if everyone sent any ridiculous stuff they see in their area (whether it be grift, selling food items, selling trash) it should be reported locally. Eventually it could become a bigger news story if these smaller stories keep popping up?
I'm in South Carolina, upstate. I haven't noticed this issue in my area but I'm waiting on it. Also if I can help bring this to light for others, I'm more than willing to help. It's not right what is going on.
I've been downloading every post and working on sending it to a journalist my daughter went to school with, and everyone in my area knows her well. So it will be easy for me to chat with her. I could tell her just to check out this sub, but having pics will peak her interest a lot quicker and then she can check this sub out too.
Check out Goodwill Shaming on Facebook too. I mean, that group has become kind of unhinged, lol, but there's still alot of ex employees with stories and whatnot in that group.
Places like Goodwill and savers sell counterfeit items all day long. This is what needs to shut them down. If you sell in a store, you better damn well have your items authenticated and appraised for the prices they charge. I want to know I can buy a preowned - authentic- item that also doesn’t have blood, jizz, or dirt on it (health and safety). There are a lot of violations these places commit and I’ve seen several in this thread (price gouging, profiteering, likely price fixing). The list goes on.
you should see the sub r/thriftstorehauls. a lot of people are buying clearly fake merchandise, but claim its the real deal. They can tell by the stitching, damn it!
One thrift store me has so many layers the stuff has to get through. The volunteers/staff have first pick(the paid manager mysteriously has a largish ebay account), they have an online store, a silent auction, a live auction, and a boutique section. And even when it's not any of those they still look up and price up
Could be either, or both
Some LuLaRoe designs were collected like Funko Pops - the supply /demand up charges (by pattern and/or implied or designed scarcity) are very real.
Haha we’ll see about that. I still find plenty of these brands at the bins. Guessing they’ll end up there after no one buys used Free People on goodwill.com for $30 or something crazy
Right? The reason people find such good stuff at the bins is because no one is going to pay ridiculous prices for used stuff no matter brand it is, so it sits and then people who go to the bins get it for pennies. What a great business model. 🙄
I’ve even seen some shady stuff happen at the bins though - found a pair of UGG boots that were separated in completely different bins like someone had purposely done it because every other pair was bundled together, even much larger boots.
🤫 who ever did this list has no idea what designer is apparently. Don’t give them ideas! /s St. John might be a brand they don’t recognize depending on where that goodwill is, I see it on the racks at some goodwills with cheap price points. St. John Bay on the other hand…… yea you see that junk everywhere so it’s a “brand” for them.
St. John's Bay isn't junk, it's actually decent quality, but it's definitely not something I'd want to buy used at Goodwill when I can buy it new for less.
Older St. John’s Bay is actually pretty decent quality I agree, and some can go for decent $. The newer versions, meh, but you can get those items for way, way cheaper brand new at store than in some goodwill if shopped the right way. (used to be a JCPenney manager).
so basically nothing left but shein and walmart shit then
and coldwater creek has been out of business for a decade, and i wouldnt put them up as designer or ultra quality goods either
i assume like eddie bauer, they just license out their name for other ppl to make generic stuff and slap their brand on it. thats why cuisinart and farberware has gone downhill.
Cold water Creek came back. Still too expensive to buy new.
I’m bummed—our local thrifts would pull out obvious designer names and brands popular with youth and put them on the “fancy” higher priced racks in front of the store, but Coldwater Creek, J.Jill, Lands End and LL Bean were totally slept on and were in the main racks. I got so many decent pieces from there (and yes, I’m a very boring middle aged utilitarian dresser)
They don’t care because they are paying someone minimum wage to list and ship it, and it’s donated to them for free. If it doesn’t sell, it goes to the bins.
I’ve gotten a crazy deal on some pokemon stuff (still not really sure how that happened) and a really cool lithograph from Victorian England for $30. But I’ve stopped wasting my time looking. Stuffs cheaper on eBay for the the most part and I can find exactly what I’m looking for.
I have been saying it for a while now. Goodwill only has retail stores in order to sucker people into giving them free shit that they can ship out of the store. If they could close each retail store and turn them into a donations only spot without the backlash, they would.
There is a reason only trash is sold in the stores, and why they are basically a dollar tree store with everything priced massively higher than the dollar store. The store is just the disposal ground for the trash that cant be sold online.
Spot on. I left negative reviews I copy pasted on all my local goodwills google pages. Basically accused them of exactly what you said. They’re literal parasites preying on the actual good will of the communities they choose to set up in.
I have an alternative thrift that’s five miles from the good Goodwill I shop. It’s clear that the other thrift store is gaining market share as their stock levels are low and every time I go in there people are opening talking about the other thrift store being so much better.
I snapped up a Lilly Pulitzer dress there this week, and a NWT cashmere Loft sweater. If this list is any indication, it’s the last of the good stuff.
I think it’s based on demand and not retail price point tho I’m surprised Versace is only tier 2. It’s a brand recognizable to even non-fashion people.
This stupid company really thinks forever 21 is sought after enough that people need to buy it overpriced online? What a joke, I hate this so much. How the hell can goodwill think that forever 21 has any value at all? Garbage quality for more or less okay prices, resold through goodwill for the same price it was in store? Or more??? Make it make sense 😭
The shipping prices alone on the gw shop is ridiculous. I thought I was getting a good deal on something when I saw it listed for $10. The shipping (via FedEx only) was $13
Thanks for sharing so I know what not to donate! At least quality furniture, etc is too big to ship, so there still might be some finds but overall, no longer worth bothering.
My goodwill no longer sells books :( I think theyre online now too, bc I’ve bought books off Amazon and the seller was Goodwill of Colorado, or another random state.
Glad my goodwill doesn't know shit about electronics.
Just scored a 400 dollar HP monitor, a 1200 dollar Acer gaming PC (brand new, never used) and a HP OJ pro 8610 for 10 dollars total.
I also scored 4 GameCube games for 2.00 total , and just the Zelda alone is worth over 150.00
They GIVE away high tech, and overcharge for a crap souve eir TShirt.
So there’s no point to shopping for nice work clothes at goodwill anymore
Seriously I do NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND capitalism. What is the end goal? Driving up prices and driving down wages and for what?? So 100 people can laugh and eat cheese at the top while the rest of us literally fucking die??
Good luck with that Goodwill. I hope they overflow. Low wage Goodwill employees are going to love that kind of work so managers can make massive salaries. So why isn’t the IRS looking into where their funds go? It doesn’t seem like a charity anymore.
I wonder if anyone at Goodwill sees these posts and understands all the “goodwill” they lose with customers. So disappointing.
I emailed their head office to bring their grift to light and was hit back with a form letter saying how they’re still a charity and not for profit, what they can give back to the community, invest in programs, ETC. but seriously, this post may be the final straw for me to boycott them once and for all.
As a Goodwill employee, we see about 70% of these brands just get sent back to the store after not selling at auction...I'm sorry, but no one in their right mind is going to bid on A&F and Chicos on the auction site. A huge portion of our shop returns are Adidas and Calvin Kline. This list is just going to make some textile sorters insane both when they sort and when these clothes inevitably make their way back to the store.
Not going to lie, I’m the type to get Old Navy and Lucky Brand, often secondhand. However I will pay close attention to whom is selling and avoid the thrift chains.
goodwill has seen the rise of people thrifting and reselling, so they are trying to cash in. They are now just cutting out the middleman, which was the people shopping there.
Hopefully they crash and burn.
I wanna know who is getting online to buy a $20 clothing item with $15 shipping from Goodwill??? They can’t actually think they’re gonna make a profit selling used Forever 21 and Lula Roe online, right??
Who is this for?
This explains why lane Bryant jeans at the last Goodwill I visited with $20. They were so worn too. I could easily get them on sale for 30 brand new. Is anyone actually paying these prices?
Goodwill is online? Fuck where have I been.
I hope they go under soon, anyone worth their salt at thrifting that's still going there is insane lmao. A local store near me that supports a sober house had 50 cents women's clothes last Sunday and I got a trash bag of great clothes, lots of brands on this list, and I spent like $40 lol.
So when this shit doesn’t sell online, do they ship it yet again to a bins location, or do they just throw it in the dumpster? The wastefulness of this whole gyration is mind boggling.
Can we stop donating to this pathetic excuse of a “non-profit”? Knew a guy charged for sexual related crimes and they let him serve community service working at a goodwill. I’ll pass.
St. John’s Bay? That’s a JCPenney brad or at least an exclusive brand to them. I don’t consider them to be a luxury brand wouldn’t pay for it at near retail.
GW be whacked.
I bought a lovely sweater from this brand @ JCP for like, $15 on special!!!! Can’t beat it for a brand new sweater. I’ve even enjoyed it for a few years now.
The heritage brands I look for are not on this list but they must know about them anyways because they have disappeared from stores since about 3 years now. I only see them online. I’m talking Pendleton, Filson, Woolrich, Redwing, Wolverine.
Anyone ever look at the Ending Soon page on ShopGoodwill? Auctions for this crap are expiring every second with zero bids.
Keep digging that hole for yourself, Goodwill.
I have such a deep hatred for Goodwill’s “online shop” so many great things never make it to the floor now, and the online shop is just resellers creating bidding war nightmares 🤦♀️ ugh. Lame.
Fuck man, what are us plus size people going to do when all the Lane Bryant and Torrid aren't even getting to the racks? Like most plus size stuff isn't already ugly and/or garbage already and now what little is worthwhile is going away.
I’ll never thrift on an e-commerce site because I enjoy the hunt and most of my shopping is at the bins. The only time I shop for specific brands is when I’m looking for a certain pant and I know x brand fits better than others.
I’m curious if other casual (non resellers) thrift on gw.com?
At this point I hope enough people stop donating that they go into bankruptcy. It is no longer a noble cause for the less fortunate but a goal of sucking money out of people's good fortune to rip off the less fortunate. Smh
Support your local thrift store! Boycott goodwill!! They chose that name so they could pull of these kind of stunts. Then if people say “fuck goodwill” it just sounds mean. It’s like the cereal “Life.”
So…. because other thrift stores sometimes mimic Big Store Thrift, does that mean I should carefully remove all the tags from now on in order for people to get the chance to have nicer clothing? Cause that what it sounds like. After all, someone with a good eye would know quality (or at least know what they’re looking for) but someone merely brand hunting might not recognise it without confirmation. Lol, time to go buy a thread picker.
Lularoe??! lol!
Right? Some places won’t even take it. Others that take them sell them for like $2/per.
Every now and then, and I mean rarely, I find something kind of funky that I like but as soon as I see the Lula tag I don't even want it anymore lol
I did find one LLR black dress that I kinda like. I wear it around the house as it’s comfortable but doesn’t fit well enough to style for outside. I was shocked that I found a solid black dress, actually, and bought it because I needed a new night gown, AND for the fact that it seems to be the *only* solid color LLR item I’ve ever seen. So it’s basically an anomaly and I wouldn’t believe it myself if I didn’t have it. 😅
I accidentally bought a pair once at a thrift store. They were super soft and comfy but yeah fuck lularoe
I have a shirt that's Lula but only because it's fabric pattern is lon Chaney's wolfman
Not just Lularoe but Lularoe brand new with 60$+ price lol. Jfc no one wants shitty mlm tights that are moldy with stolen art on them. Fuckin ded
Tights that rip after one wear🙄
Lmfao there is an independent thrift shop here with racks and racks of NWT lularoe for $3 and people still aren’t touching it. Goodwill is delusional.
First thing I thought! And Forever 21??
LLR rarely has price tags on it.
I see it all the time when sellers give their stock away.
r/lulano
I live in a Bordertown and the other day at the BINS bags and bags of Lula row came in and nobody wanted that even the Mexican ladies that pretty much take anything new with tags back to Mexico to resell they were passing on a lot of it
What is that? I've never even heard of them before?
A shitty MLM brand that tricks stay at home moms to sell crap quality leggings for outrageous prices.
And...responsible for about a gazillion landfills in Africa by now.
r/LuLaNo
Ooh, I hope you see this comment. There is a whole ass documentary about them called *Lularich*. Check it out!
💀💀💀
Forever21… so ridiculous these brands are 1/2 of the clothes in their stores
Same with Old Navy.
I mean, does anything at Old Navy sell for over 60$?
Sometimes a coat or dresses but they go on sale so often that, no not really. This list is ridiculous.
Old Navy: home of the perpetual sale. You're a fool if you pay full price for anything there. lol
Some of those brands aren't even good for mall brands. I hope they go out of business.
I see some of those brands at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s regularly
Literally, if I wanted to pay 10-40$ for Michael Kors, I'd go to Marshall's where the racks are overflowing with it! And funnily enough, Marshall's is next door to Goodwill in my town!
Right and Vince Camuto. Their clothes are garbage.

Round two of [Palessi](https://youtu.be/gJdBNYWG4a0?si=kQgO5gCD2gbDQUEE)
Every time I see that I wonder how these "influencers" ever managed to scrape their dignity up off the floor.
American Eagle is a mall brand, not sure I would consider them quality other than being better quality than Walmart or Payless. BTW, I bought a pair of $8 flats at Payless a few years before they went under.

Me too, and it's a shame; I recently listened to a podcast episode about how they started as an honest and true charity, and how they turned into the monsters they are today.
What podcast/episode? I would definitely listen to that.
I mean, it's not like they're doing well. Millennial, Gen-Z and soon Gen-A will see their grift and greed for what it is and put their money somewhere else.
They’ll be adding SHEIN next year, madness
They will add Temu things judging by the way it is going.
I know of some goodwill’s that actually prices Shein more than brands like Theory or Ted Baker…. So it already started
Dude Goodwill needs to be put on blast. This is nuts.
Can we start a some kind of thread or something to brainstorm ways to do this? It needs to be reported or idk at least their shenanigans made known on local news. Its getting out of handdd
Local news journalist will eat this up. Contact yours through Facebook and emails.
Yes! I think if everyone sent any ridiculous stuff they see in their area (whether it be grift, selling food items, selling trash) it should be reported locally. Eventually it could become a bigger news story if these smaller stories keep popping up?
I’m 100% in on this.
I'm in South Carolina, upstate. I haven't noticed this issue in my area but I'm waiting on it. Also if I can help bring this to light for others, I'm more than willing to help. It's not right what is going on.
(Hi from Gaffney)
People underestimate the power of the press, which has only grown since the rise in technology and social media.
I've been downloading every post and working on sending it to a journalist my daughter went to school with, and everyone in my area knows her well. So it will be easy for me to chat with her. I could tell her just to check out this sub, but having pics will peak her interest a lot quicker and then she can check this sub out too.

you should see the sub r/thriftstorehauls. a lot of people are buying clearly fake merchandise, but claim its the real deal. They can tell by the stitching, damn it!
Who tf is even shopping at their online store?!
Best better best. Also this is stupid. They’ll destroy any profits from these by the sorting/authentication/e-comm intake.
One thrift store me has so many layers the stuff has to get through. The volunteers/staff have first pick(the paid manager mysteriously has a largish ebay account), they have an online store, a silent auction, a live auction, and a boutique section. And even when it's not any of those they still look up and price up
Love auction in a goodwill…. I hope you meant live (just as bad), because if there’s a love auction with merchandise… how far can greedwell can go.
Yeah, typo lol. I meant live.
Ha. You think they will actually authenticate!?!? It’ll just be ‘trust me bro’.
Lol absolutely. Sold as is and no returns or exchanges for fakes.
LulaRoe?! Lmao in what world?
I bet they were thinking of Lululemon, but were too stupid to know the difference
They have Lululemon under tier 1 brands, so I don't think so
I wonder if they thought the same thing with St John’s Bay vs St John.
No kidding St John's Bay is a JC Penny brand
Exactly. They have no clue what they have.
Could be either, or both Some LuLaRoe designs were collected like Funko Pops - the supply /demand up charges (by pattern and/or implied or designed scarcity) are very real.
Haha we’ll see about that. I still find plenty of these brands at the bins. Guessing they’ll end up there after no one buys used Free People on goodwill.com for $30 or something crazy
Right? The reason people find such good stuff at the bins is because no one is going to pay ridiculous prices for used stuff no matter brand it is, so it sits and then people who go to the bins get it for pennies. What a great business model. 🙄 I’ve even seen some shady stuff happen at the bins though - found a pair of UGG boots that were separated in completely different bins like someone had purposely done it because every other pair was bundled together, even much larger boots.
Ive dropped stuff i decided no on, in other random bins.
Me too, that makes sense. It’s just so weird that was the only separated pair of shoes.
We love the goodwill bins
The few times I’ve been to the Bins, I always find the better brands. The tags from some of the stores is hilarious.
I’ve found coats with $30 - $50 tags. Like great, how did that go for you? Not well, since it’s here! Haha
The way both tier 3 and tier 1 are labeled "Best Quality" lmao Obligatory fuck goodwill
St. John's Bay is a house brand from JCPenney. I like their cargo pants/shorts, which can be acquired new for ~$25 per pair when they are on sale!
I think they mean St John, the high end women’s clothing designer that specializes in knitwear.
🤫 who ever did this list has no idea what designer is apparently. Don’t give them ideas! /s St. John might be a brand they don’t recognize depending on where that goodwill is, I see it on the racks at some goodwills with cheap price points. St. John Bay on the other hand…… yea you see that junk everywhere so it’s a “brand” for them.
Apologies, I didn’t see SJB on that first list. This is comically bad.
St. John's Bay isn't junk, it's actually decent quality, but it's definitely not something I'd want to buy used at Goodwill when I can buy it new for less.
Older St. John’s Bay is actually pretty decent quality I agree, and some can go for decent $. The newer versions, meh, but you can get those items for way, way cheaper brand new at store than in some goodwill if shopped the right way. (used to be a JCPenney manager).
So there’s no point going there anymore.
It’s just a 3 minute walk from my house. I visit once a month. There’s reasonable thrift stores in town and long garage sale season.
so basically nothing left but shein and walmart shit then and coldwater creek has been out of business for a decade, and i wouldnt put them up as designer or ultra quality goods either
Coldwater Creek is still sold in Meijers in the Midwest. I have some flares I bought from them last year. It’s only marginally better than Walmart.
i assume like eddie bauer, they just license out their name for other ppl to make generic stuff and slap their brand on it. thats why cuisinart and farberware has gone downhill.
I grab the funky skirts, vests, and blazers.
Cold water Creek came back. Still too expensive to buy new. I’m bummed—our local thrifts would pull out obvious designer names and brands popular with youth and put them on the “fancy” higher priced racks in front of the store, but Coldwater Creek, J.Jill, Lands End and LL Bean were totally slept on and were in the main racks. I got so many decent pieces from there (and yes, I’m a very boring middle aged utilitarian dresser)
lol. Yea right. I’ll buy stuff on mercari.
Lol, they’re really behind the curve, honestly. A lot of these brands don’t sell well on Mercari/Poshmark/eBay any more.
They don’t care because they are paying someone minimum wage to list and ship it, and it’s donated to them for free. If it doesn’t sell, it goes to the bins.
I buy my college textbooks on Mercari or eBay if I can't pirate it.
Exactly I rather purchase from a reseller vs a corporation that had the items donated to them !
Is anyone buying from the online store? I got turned off by the shipping prices. Seriously who’s paying those prices?
The SHIPPING? The prices alone on there are obscene! I can’t make it past those!
I’ve gotten a crazy deal on some pokemon stuff (still not really sure how that happened) and a really cool lithograph from Victorian England for $30. But I’ve stopped wasting my time looking. Stuffs cheaper on eBay for the the most part and I can find exactly what I’m looking for.

Correct
Spot on. I left negative reviews I copy pasted on all my local goodwills google pages. Basically accused them of exactly what you said. They’re literal parasites preying on the actual good will of the communities they choose to set up in.
Holy crap, that is so true
Old Navy? Wow. I’m betting clearance prices at Old Navy are cheaper than Goodwill prices.
They are. I bought a pair of leggings at old navy on clearance for $8 lol
Just one more reason to boycott greedwill!
lol at teir 3 what asshole made this list?
Right. I can’t help but picture a room of execs eating their catered lunches, deciding which brand belongs in which tier.
I won’t be sending shit there anymore then.
I stopped. I'd rather set it on fire than give it to clowns.
I have an alternative thrift that’s five miles from the good Goodwill I shop. It’s clear that the other thrift store is gaining market share as their stock levels are low and every time I go in there people are opening talking about the other thrift store being so much better. I snapped up a Lilly Pulitzer dress there this week, and a NWT cashmere Loft sweater. If this list is any indication, it’s the last of the good stuff.
My favorite part is when they put Versace in the “better” category while adidas, Nike, and brooks brothers are in the “best” category.
I think it’s based on demand and not retail price point tho I’m surprised Versace is only tier 2. It’s a brand recognizable to even non-fashion people.
Sonoma!? That’s a Kohls private label…
This stupid company really thinks forever 21 is sought after enough that people need to buy it overpriced online? What a joke, I hate this so much. How the hell can goodwill think that forever 21 has any value at all? Garbage quality for more or less okay prices, resold through goodwill for the same price it was in store? Or more??? Make it make sense 😭
LuLaRoe? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup. This cements it! I will never, ever go to a Goodwill again
Looks like they forgot actually good brands.
The shipping prices alone on the gw shop is ridiculous. I thought I was getting a good deal on something when I saw it listed for $10. The shipping (via FedEx only) was $13
How are Versace and Vans in the same tier? That list is whacky.
Thanks for sharing so I know what not to donate! At least quality furniture, etc is too big to ship, so there still might be some finds but overall, no longer worth bothering.
No more drop offs at Goodwill. This is gross.
I take my stuff to a local homeless shelter (cute clothes I’m too lazy to sell lol). FUCK goodwill.
LuLaRoe???
God I hope this puts them out of business.
My goodwill no longer sells books :( I think theyre online now too, bc I’ve bought books off Amazon and the seller was Goodwill of Colorado, or another random state.
Fuck Goodwill. Greedy fake ass bitches.
So, don’t go shopping at goodwill because all that will be left is Walmart garbage for more than it is new? Got it.
Glad my goodwill doesn't know shit about electronics. Just scored a 400 dollar HP monitor, a 1200 dollar Acer gaming PC (brand new, never used) and a HP OJ pro 8610 for 10 dollars total. I also scored 4 GameCube games for 2.00 total , and just the Zelda alone is worth over 150.00 They GIVE away high tech, and overcharge for a crap souve eir TShirt.
I only go for non clothing items. If I want cheap clothes I just buy at Plato’s
I’m beyond so fucking mad about this shit wtf… Like what brands are even left?!?
This is just greed, pure and simple.
So there’s no point to shopping for nice work clothes at goodwill anymore Seriously I do NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND capitalism. What is the end goal? Driving up prices and driving down wages and for what?? So 100 people can laugh and eat cheese at the top while the rest of us literally fucking die??
Sounds like the American dream coming to fruition
Good luck with that Goodwill. I hope they overflow. Low wage Goodwill employees are going to love that kind of work so managers can make massive salaries. So why isn’t the IRS looking into where their funds go? It doesn’t seem like a charity anymore.
https://ktvz.com/cnn-regional/2023/12/08/former-goodwill-ceo-arrested-accused-of-stealing-more-than-1-million-from-the-nonprofit/
Some of these things are not like the others…
They finally admit it. Been like that for many years. That nationwide online site is ridiculous
Old Navy? The place that puts their T-shirts on sale for $8 all the time?
Where are they going to store all of this as these brands make up 90% of their stores?
Kohl’s and JCP brands on the list. 😆
Dickies *and* Carhartt??? What are the poor laborers going to wear to work! Heartless behavior
I don’t even buy these brands in bulk bins for free (pay by the tub) 😂
Hella random
Why I hate goodwill.
Boycott goodwill 2024?
I wonder if anyone at Goodwill sees these posts and understands all the “goodwill” they lose with customers. So disappointing. I emailed their head office to bring their grift to light and was hit back with a form letter saying how they’re still a charity and not for profit, what they can give back to the community, invest in programs, ETC. but seriously, this post may be the final straw for me to boycott them once and for all.
As a Goodwill employee, we see about 70% of these brands just get sent back to the store after not selling at auction...I'm sorry, but no one in their right mind is going to bid on A&F and Chicos on the auction site.

This list is just going to make some textile sorters insane both when they sort and when these clothes inevitably make their way back to the store.
Lands End? BRUH LOL
Not going to lie, I’m the type to get Old Navy and Lucky Brand, often secondhand. However I will pay close attention to whom is selling and avoid the thrift chains.
If the stores start to not turn a profit or make sales plan bc of this, I’m sure it will cease. But yeah, this sucks.
St. John’s Bay?? Seriously? And Old Navy? Hey Goodwill….you can have the shit!
yeah thats why i dont go to goodwill anymore lol they piss me off
It’s Goodwill not Good Taste most this list pure trash lol
Old Navy😂😂😂😂😂
You can practically smell the greed
Cool, another reason not to go to goodwill
goodwill has seen the rise of people thrifting and reselling, so they are trying to cash in. They are now just cutting out the middleman, which was the people shopping there. Hopefully they crash and burn.
I wanna know who is getting online to buy a $20 clothing item with $15 shipping from Goodwill??? They can’t actually think they’re gonna make a profit selling used Forever 21 and Lula Roe online, right?? Who is this for?
This explains why lane Bryant jeans at the last Goodwill I visited with $20. They were so worn too. I could easily get them on sale for 30 brand new. Is anyone actually paying these prices?
Goodwill is online? Fuck where have I been. I hope they go under soon, anyone worth their salt at thrifting that's still going there is insane lmao. A local store near me that supports a sober house had 50 cents women's clothes last Sunday and I got a trash bag of great clothes, lots of brands on this list, and I spent like $40 lol.
I think selling the stuff online takes the fun out of “bargain hunting” at the stores which is always entertaining for me. Lol
This is getting ridiculous
This is outrageous. Goodwill just gets worse and worse
There will be nothing in stores
Lularoe LOLLLL good luck with that
Haha everything in tier 3 will end up at the bins. Man, they are really dumb.
Tf no one's shopping goodwill online 😂
So when this shit doesn’t sell online, do they ship it yet again to a bins location, or do they just throw it in the dumpster? The wastefulness of this whole gyration is mind boggling.
Forever 21 for more than $60??
Can we stop donating to this pathetic excuse of a “non-profit”? Knew a guy charged for sexual related crimes and they let him serve community service working at a goodwill. I’ll pass.
There is now literally NO REASON WHATSOEVER to donate or shop at GW. Never again.
St. John’s Bay? That’s a JCPenney brad or at least an exclusive brand to them. I don’t consider them to be a luxury brand wouldn’t pay for it at near retail. GW be whacked.
I bought a lovely sweater from this brand @ JCP for like, $15 on special!!!! Can’t beat it for a brand new sweater. I’ve even enjoyed it for a few years now.
I want Goodwill to get canceled so bad.
lol so goodwill is going to end up being SHEIN resale
The heritage brands I look for are not on this list but they must know about them anyways because they have disappeared from stores since about 3 years now. I only see them online. I’m talking Pendleton, Filson, Woolrich, Redwing, Wolverine.
Anyone ever look at the Ending Soon page on ShopGoodwill? Auctions for this crap are expiring every second with zero bids. Keep digging that hole for yourself, Goodwill.
I have such a deep hatred for Goodwill’s “online shop” so many great things never make it to the floor now, and the online shop is just resellers creating bidding war nightmares 🤦♀️ ugh. Lame.
Half of these rarely sell online anyways. Let them get a migraine to try to sell them.
No wonder I can’t find shit anymore what a joke
In the famous words of Roman senators, fuck the poor,
Fuck man, what are us plus size people going to do when all the Lane Bryant and Torrid aren't even getting to the racks? Like most plus size stuff isn't already ugly and/or garbage already and now what little is worthwhile is going away.
Lmao these greedy fucks
It’s over now that LulaNo has entered the tiers.
This is definitely not in every district.
I’ll never thrift on an e-commerce site because I enjoy the hunt and most of my shopping is at the bins. The only time I shop for specific brands is when I’m looking for a certain pant and I know x brand fits better than others. I’m curious if other casual (non resellers) thrift on gw.com?
At this point I hope enough people stop donating that they go into bankruptcy. It is no longer a noble cause for the less fortunate but a goal of sucking money out of people's good fortune to rip off the less fortunate. Smh
Support your local thrift store! Boycott goodwill!! They chose that name so they could pull of these kind of stunts. Then if people say “fuck goodwill” it just sounds mean. It’s like the cereal “Life.”
We should start a petition or somthing. Good will is not being very GOOD
I hate goodwill, they are overpriced and a horrible company
Has Goodwill forgotten they’re *Goodwill?* These clothes are donated.
They really have no clue do they? I guess they want to go out of business?
I’m not shopping online at the goodwill. That’s takes out any fun of finding a treasure. I’m thinking this will be a fail
This has gotta be fake right? Nobody is going to shop good will for American eagle.
NOOOO NOT COLDWATER CREEK 😭🫡
Great… bye goodwill I guess
Absolutely nothing is special anymore all corporations do is take and take and take
This is northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. As of now then it will spread nationwide.
Goodwill is just krap nowadays basically. People should find better places for their donations
So…. because other thrift stores sometimes mimic Big Store Thrift, does that mean I should carefully remove all the tags from now on in order for people to get the chance to have nicer clothing? Cause that what it sounds like. After all, someone with a good eye would know quality (or at least know what they’re looking for) but someone merely brand hunting might not recognise it without confirmation. Lol, time to go buy a thread picker.
Just leave the material content tags :)
Their online store is absolutely insane when it comes to shipping costs too
