Editor's Review

Goodwill Store in Amherst, NH, has a unique vibe that draws in both treasure hunters and bargain seekers. With over 1,000 items added daily, the shelves are always stocked with a fresh mix of secondhand goods. However, the buzz about the store isn't all positive. Many reviewers express shock at the pricing, claiming it feels more like a retail outlet than a thrift store. "Since when did Goodwill turn into eBay’s offline store?" asked Leni Leni, highlighting the disconnect between donated prices and the marked ones.

While some customers appreciate the variety, others complain that items like a Ninja air fryer for $120 or basic Logitech speakers for $80 are absurd. It seems the store's pricing has left many feeling frustrated, as Ira Locke lamented, "I understand resellers are rampant but regular buyers looking for a great deal on DONATED items that didn't cost Goodwill anything to obtain" are finding it hard to shop here.

On the brighter side, the store does offer a wide range of products, from electronics to clothing, making it a convenient option for those who enjoy thrift shopping. However, the experiences at the checkout can be hit or miss, as Braden's unfortunate return encounter reveals. Many shoppers feel the staff can be less than accommodating, which detracts from the overall experience.

Best for: Bargain hunters looking for a diverse selection of secondhand goods.

I understand resellers are rampant but regular buyers looking for a great deal on DONATED items that didn't cost Goodwill anything to obtain.

The prices at this store are laughable, as in, I laughed loudly when they informed me that the price on a bentwood rattan rocking chair was $500. Yes, you read that correctly: Five HUNDRED dollars. For something that was donated. And definitely NOT T...

Steven was a micromanaging jerk. Surprised he's not named Mike for "Micromanage." A family can't shop and use one Goodwill Club card with one payment card (one payment with the club card owner's credit card)? It's not "sharing" the card if it's a fa...
