You mean it's not the 3.50 that the working mom of 3 needs it to be in order to buy it.
More like its $35 that Goodwill can use to help an actual working mom of 3 when re-sellers pay to get a coat they can sell online for $130.
Retail charities view their store as the source of funds for the charity, not as the charity itself. They also know people are reselling high end items, so they can mark them higher to make more money for the charity.
Then they aren't a thrift store and should stop deceptively marketing themselves as one. Furthermore their "programs" are shit. If they just paid their employees then they could afford the online courses without the administrative overhead.
That's how all charity thrift stores work. That's how they have always worked. The retail sales power the charity. Goodwill, habitat for humanity, salvation army, on and on. I have some local ones that pay for animal shelters.
They all sell donated items to make money for the charity.
And yet Habitat for Humanity manages to build houses while it's stores are actually thrift stores.
Habitat for humanity uses the exact same model as goodwill for its retail charity stores.
You can disagree with Goodwill as a charity, but both are still thrift stores.
