Video games are almost always ridiculous too. They’ll sell anything good online, and then charge like $10 for one of their 40 copies of Wii Fit.

The only good place to thrift nowadays is the small local places run by like churches. Goodwill sells shitty acrylic yarn for more than it costs new, wants $20+ for used kitchen appliances, sells current dollar tree shit for $5…

Goodwill fell off. It's worth noting how the stuff we buy is basically worthless for resale the moment we buy it, since cheap new stuff is outcompeting it. It's only value is use value.

Good news! Tariffs just made new stuff significantly more expensive so the resale value will be higher now. /s

Watching new vs used prices on things will be intresting

They do employ people who might not be able to get a job elsewhere, so not evil, just halfway shitty.

What the fuck? Thanks for making my day even worse I guess. Seriously thank you for the information, they will no longer get my business.
