You bring pounds of clothes to a thrift store to donate, and you get NOTHING in return. It's not even like recycling cans and bottles where you get some money for your time and effort. You get nothing. Then the thrift store turns around and sells the clothes you gave them for free for PROFIT.

Guys should start having clothing swaps like women do. Maybe your bro has a nice pair of jeans that don't fit anymore, or a jacket he doesn't wear anymore, etc.

People don't think about stuff like this enough. They just do what everyone else does. Does the Goodwill CEO really need another BMW?

I worked in fundraising for a nonprofit thrift store (not goodwill, but basically like that) and we used donations to raise money. The stuff you donated didn't even go on sale in the store, we sold our donations in bulk at a set price for different materials (so like x cents for y pounds of clothes, etc)

Imagine paying taxes instead of getting a return. Imagine actually caring about "tax deductions" instead of tax credits.

It's not 100% profit because people have to sort the good from the bad, clean them, then stock them. I will say though, as someone who used to work for Goodwill, the vast majority of donated clothes sit in massive warehouses to later be bailed and sold off to recycle companies by the tons, and not for huge profits either.

Like many local places are good, however Goodwill is a scam. You can get better deals at walmart, and Goodwill pays a number of their workers less then min wage.

You can get a tax write-off, but that's only useful if you already itemize or if it will help you cross the margin for taking the itemized deduction over the standard one. Also, it's not a donation if you expect something material in return. If you actually want money in exchange for your old clothes, hold a yard sale. Otherwise, shut the fuck up about matters you are clueless about.

TC's just upset that getting rid of his own clothes won't give him money to upgrade his crappy rig.
