Dust Free Thrift Store Shopping

Considering how good deals are at thrift stores, you would think I would shop there, but alas, my dust allergy keeps me away. I do manage to go in anyway a few times a year as I can’t help but purchase books there anyway, it is definitely worth to pain. But when I do, I have to deal with a rash that forms across my jaw (where I touch my face alot) and I also have do suffer through a couple of days of coughing and sneezing. This is why I tend to avoid the thrift store and shop at the slightly less dusty Ross Stores.

Goodwill.org however, has made it possible to get thrift store prices without all of the diffing, sneezing, and itching.

Shopping at shopGoodwill.org is a lot like shopping at Ebay, and alot safer than shopping at Craigslist. The prices are actually better than what you would find at EBay. Because you are dealing with one well known vendor you won’t have to be worried about weeding out scams or meeting a stranger to make a purchase.

The prices at ShopGoodwill.org is a little higher than what you can find at your local Goodwill store because of the site’s cost of listing the items, but you won’t get those rare finds that no one else was willing to undig because everything is laid out for you. Still, you have a better chance of finding new unused items and waste alot less time searching for what you need.

Shopping at the Goodwill auction website won’t and should not replace your shopping at the local Goodwill store or Goodwill outlet store, but if allergies, and other inconveniences are keeping you from raking in the deals, you will definitely want to consider shopping at shopgoodwill.org.
