Goodwill

when Macklemore was talking about thrift shopping, I imagined it being way cooler than this. Theres very little quality, I was not pumped to buy anything from this thrift shop.

Overall Goodwill is a poseur. They help only themselves. Beware of their auction site. Look into it. There is lots of documentation online from people who used to be customers but are tired of being screwed.
Every time I go and show around in their store I find countless used items selling more than the same item brand new.
If you want to make a difference with your donation in and for your community check out St. Vincent dePaul.
The only good thing in the Eugene area regarding Goodwill is their computer store which is more of a 3 to 4 star rating.

Goodwills are becoming more and more expensive. I really like the selection here, but i will not pay ten dollars for a used shirt that has some sort of coveted logo. Their shoes are really expensive as well, looking at seven dollars plus for shoes that have been worn and have seen better days.
Their book selection is so-​so, no sort of organizational system whatsoever. I only come here because I dislike St. Vincents.
Hopefully I will find somewhere new to shop with some used clothes.

Most Goodwills have been going down hill over the past 5 years or so and this one is no exception. Prices are ridiculously high, and some of the things they try to sell should be donated or thrown out… one unpackaged roll of toilet paper in a ziplock bag for a dollar? A chewed up plastic dog dish for $ 3.99??? Stick to non-​chain stores I guess.

I have always enjoyed going to this Goodwill. There is TONS of parking, very well kept and organized merchandise, nice friendly and helpful staff. The donation drop off sight is very convenient as it is in the back of the building and not in the way of vehicles and the lot is very large. Every time I go I always leave with a new treasure. I absolutely recommend checking out this location.

such a friendly helpful staff! the prices are great and they relly know what they’re talking about! easy access with our big stroller too!

I don’t know why people choose to spend heaps of money to buy new clothes.
Recycled fashion is cool and conscious!
This thrift store is pretty mammoth yet fairly well organized. Men’s items are sorted by size and mostly right. With the huge selection you will find some scores, but this isn’t Buffalo Exchange so give yourself plenty of time.
Look out for the half off tags. One in and two out is a good rule of thumb, so bring some clothes to donate. Found the cookware to be a bit sub par the times I was here, but thrift store selections are always changing like the tides. Love the Oregon Ducks clothing which is unique. I’m a Steve Prefontaine, but am not too interested too much in Sports any longer (dare I say this) however I’m sure many loyal fans would love these unique vintage scores which lack the icon Nike swoosh which is a good thing.

Large store, Clean and Organized.
Didn’t have what we were looking for in stock, so can’t say we browsed enough to know how the prices were.

No more $ 0.50 books, but get here early on a Sunday when the 50% off color changes (and while the hoards are at church), and there are some great deals to be had. This particular Goodwill is kept pretty clean and organized, and the employees are pretty nice. This is also a larger store, so there is plenty to choose from!

The good olé days are gone! I heard it in the isles, too! Everyone agreed the prices were terrible! We drove for 5 hours to visit this store, as we do twice a year… we won’t be back! The prices have gone up drastically and it has changed to a corporation rather than a thrift store. (yes, I KNOW it’s a corp. but they still get the stuff for free!) I don’t want to hear how they change lives… all thrift stores have a mission, not just goodwill! They used to have one price for all jackets, one price for all shirts, etc… they used to be what goodwill everywhere used to be… a fun experience and EVERYONE could afford to shop there, unemployed, down and out, families on a budget and retired people, along with pickers and fun seekers. I am disappointed and quite angry over the young man when I told him that the 2 piece outfit went together and he explained to me that «we price them separately but hang them together so you can buy one if you want to, it’s our policy», in not a very nice way. I have been thrifting for 40 years and the writing is on the wall, it is now a place to buy wall-​mart, target, fred meyer, and macys donations for about the same price as new. Prices are way too expensive for a thrift store! The thrill is gone, goodwill! goodbye!

Regarding Goodwill Electronics, I am glad Goodwill is experimenting with the refurbished electronics trade, but Next Step is still Eugene’s leader. In July 2013 I somewhat impulsively bought a PC laptop at Goodwill Electronics. The operating system was Windows XP, and I learned shortly thereafter that Microsoft is discontinuing support for most forms of Windows XP in 2014. Luckily the particular computer I bought was capable of running Windows 7, an operating system that Microsoft will continue to support until 2020, so I bought the Windows 7 operating system at Best Buy. $ 104.95 for the laptop plus $ 109.99 for Windows 7 totals to a reasonable price, and I don’t regret buying the laptop because I learned a lot about computers from the experience, but if you do not have the desire or the ability to do an operating system upgrade on your own, you should go to Next Step. As of October 2013, all of Next Step’s PCs for sale are running Windows 7, while most of the PCs at Goodwill Electronics are still running Windows XP.
The rest of the «Goodwill Superstore» is pretty good as thrift stores go, well organized and good merchandise selection especially for clothing. The books are not as good as at some of the St. Vincent de Paul stores in town.

The Goodwill up on Green Acres Road is, without a doubt, the best secondhand/​thrift store in our area.
[+] the store is huge, and the overall space is well laid out. After a 3-​minute walk-​around, you know exactly where to go to explore what you are looking for.
[+] they probably have what you are looking for. from clothes to appliances to small electronics, this particular Goodwill is well-​stocked across the board
[+] and this is the major contrast to the other similar shops in this area – they have a huge selection of clothing AND, even better, it is VERY well-​organized. Sectioned by size (i.e. s-​m-​l-​xl) well-​marked and accurate. If they can do it with so much stuff, I don’t know why the others fail.
My favorite thing is to occasionally go here and drop 12 bucks or so on Duck items. I always walk away with 2 or 3 things that a) carry no ‘swoosh’ logo and b) convince folks that I’m an ‘old school’ Duck fan. Nothing like being a poseur on the cheap!
Skip the other Goodwills, Salvation Army, St. Vinnies, and go to this Goodwill first. Only Value Village in Springfield deserves to be mentioned in the same breath.
