A few years ago I started checking goodwill online for camera equipment, and while prices can be high, it's part of the game considering the auction format. Then last summer, while renting a cabin in the country, I found a goodwill store in a nearby town and was rather stunned to see what they're asking for essentially junk. As examples, there was a late 80's incomplete camcorder priced at like $100, mixed 1980's/1990's P&S film cameras priced $25-$30 even though some were obviously broken, and a quick walk through the store suggested this type of ridiculous pricing the norm. Thinking this one store an anomaly, I did a little searching online and discovered a lot of people complaining about this type of thing, and with anything from used clothes, to furnishings, and everything in between. It's not that I expect such stores to give things away no matter how they acquired them, but at least some do seem to, unfortunately, be getting away from their original mission.[/QUOTE]
