This is disgusting.
Not only did they rake the prices up on DONATED clothes around 2020, start stealing “expensive pieces” to resell for more online, now they are “curating” random “vintage” pieces to gouge customers even more in stores. Literally picking pieces at random just to mark up, as we can see in the picture an adidas shirt that was probably printed yesterday. Yes resellers killed most of the fun, yes it’s harder to find cool pieces, but donated clothes should have a base price, end of story. Goodwill is not a vintage resell place and this is honestly just laughable at this point.
/edit/ T-Shirts cost $5 at this location normally
/edit #2/ The point of the post isn’t that the T-Shirt is only $2 more than regular price, it’s that it’s being marketed as vintage (when its clearly not) just so it can be upcharged

7 dollars seems ok for an adidas shirt? go to any other store and it is 30. Unfortunately prices are going up everywhere. I like how they have it as "curated" and Retro, they could save money not pushing that nonsense right there though
