For the thrift store bargain hunters, this was new to me. GOODWILL AUCTION SITE is a successful rival in the on-line auction business.  You might want to check it out. You cannot sell there, only bid and buy. Good luck.

Whether you're a serious collector or casual treasure hunter, shopgoodwill.com is the place to find that special item you've been looking for. shopgoodwill.com offers a wide array of antiques and collectibles as well as new and nearly new items pulled from participating Goodwills' vast inventory of donated goods. From unique one-of-a-kind items to estate pieces, the depth of resources is enormous. Revenues from auction sales fund Goodwill's education, training and job placement programs for people with disabilities and other barriers.

This is an incredible web site! I've bid on, and won, several really neat items.....some of them antique! You can find just about anything and everything there.....a lot of neat surprises.....I've oftentime spent literally hours there, just wandering around!!!!!! I'd almost forgotten about it, as I've not been there in ages!

I knew about the site from fellow antique dealers but was told to use it with caution because sometimes items are damaged and it is not mentioned in the auction listing.

That's neat! I noticed some of the things aren't that good a deal though when you count in shipping :(
Trish A. Mar 12, 2009, 11:05pm EDT
I check it out every so often.

I've bought through their auction site, and have also seen some fabulous deals of noted artists work (originals and prints), such as Bev Doolittle, sell at unheard of prices. (People have begun to catch on though, and it's much harder to find the deals on those and on gold like you used to find. BIG problem, though, that I don't think they've solved. Shipping costs are often exorbitant. It's a problem they've recognized and have stated that they're trying to resolve, but last I was on there it was still a problem. Am not sure why it's so much higher for them than at other sites.

I will have to give it a look =) I have never bought anything online so I hope I can figure it out, lol!

Maybe a misnomer on your typical 'thrift' thinking, as it's not the place to find your 15 ยข bargains. Looks more like the items they acquire that may sell better when exposed to a larger audience. But a possible bargain either way.
