Poppin Tags at Goodwill - What is your best FIND EVER.

[agrant12]

I donate to goodwill and do not shop. I'd rather the items go to the less fortunate.

Rolling office chairs from a dozen different manufacturers at $1.00 each from a place in Macon called Mybot. The over educated college kid took the business over frois father and hates anything he can't eBay. He was having the employees run them over with a track hoe to get the metal out. Very short sighted. We got $10..00 for the basic chairr and $15.00 for the high backs. One guy bought a Dodge dually load and another guy from south GA took the rest.
Lots of good **** like that to be found on the surplus auction sights.

They're in the pocket of the knife industry.

my local good wills always put the good stuff behind a counter at premium prices, now 6 years a go the good wills were much better but they didn't separate anything by brand

I think I just found my new hobby.

Poppin tags is fun. Quick story. Last fall my son left his running shoes outside all weekend and it rained. Shoes smelled like Blackbeards Urinal. So I went to goodwill, dropped off a few items and strolled inside. $1.92 later he a had a nice par of Nike Running shoes he wore plum out.
