<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2738717, member: 36230"]I find it very interesting that you bring this up, and is because in the earlier mentioned online searching, I found reports of this sort of thing, which suggests your experience more common than we'd like to think. One story that comes to mind was that of a store manager supposedly dealing with a certain family that deals in many of the same items goodwill sells, even going as far as to deny the sale of something overlooked and located by another customer. The gist was that this guy supposedly receives kickbacks from the family, and was really quite appalling to think about. Some rather expensive stuff is donated to such stores, not because the owners simply want it gone (like with clothes, etc), but as a form of charity expecting the proceeds to go to good works. In fact, since becoming skeptical about such stores, I've donated only to the local Humane Society I am confident uses whatever funds received for their intended purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I appreciate you sharing your experience. That's really a very, very lowlife move on the part of those involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
