Goodwill is getting high tech!
If you feel like you've seen a lack of "cool" items in your local Goodwill recently, this might help explain it. The site lists everything from electronics to clothing, and lighting to collectibles—most of which is less vintage than you think. Sure you won't have the thrill of wading through aisles of polyester pants, or experiencing that dusty basement smell, but online bidding does save you time and money when it comes to finding what you want.

Isn't part of the fun digging through the piles of trash to find a treasure? Maybe some people hate that, but I love the hunt...
I'll stick with the stores! Besides, arn't most items one of a kind?

You would think so, Cassie! And I love the raking through it all as well. That's how you find something unique. I don't know if I'd buy online via them.

I wouldn't. I like to dive into the rails and see what's been hidden away at the back. :)

I had to laugh at the dusty basement smell comment. I always wondered what that odor was. Now I know. That's handy to have that link. Thanks Zoey! :)
