Goodwill. A great store and friend to some, while an evil enemy to others. What makes Goodwill 'good', or 'bad', or even 'ugly'? Well, this rant is here to tell you! Smiley

The GOOD:
You can find stuff! It always helps to be able to find stuff in the wild. And, Goodwill has a strange habit of ripping themselves off. But sometimes... Well, that leads into...

The BAD:
Sometimes, they overprice! And I mean A LOT! Come on! 4 Bucks for a cib Genesis Sports game?! Ah well... (And then, of course you buy it.) Then comes...

The UGLY:
In a large portion of Goodwills, organization is a huge problem. There are things sterewn acrossed the floor, and... WHAT IS DRIPPING FROM THE CEILING?!!?!? I digress. Goodwill is not, how I say, the cleanest place on earth.

In conclusion, personally, I feel that Goodwill offers a great opportunity to find some games on your lunch break or after school one day. The good is roughly equal to the bad, so I recommend anyone who has the time and the energy to leaf through piles of VHS tapes and books. THUMBS UP! Cheesy

I just stopped by the local Goodwill on my way home from work for the first time in weeks, I had a hunch I would find something, I didn't however.

My Goodwill has a certain smell to it, but it's pretty clean. The new one they built is spotless though, has the same smell though.

My Goodwill seems to be pretty good at organizing stuff, I've yet to find a game in with the books even though I search there. But there is a boxed SNES sports game mixed in with old PC games.

I've found a few good games at Goodwill, but overall, it's usually a disappointment. One really can't expect to find treasure at Goodwill every time, but the occasional find is always nice.
