Oh my gosh! Here is a fun junk shopping site!

Purplemoon (aka Karen) told me about Shopgoodwill.com! It's an addictive site. I've purchased several things for our porch and garden there just this week. I bought a life-size metal turtle, some ceramic birds for my birdbath, a wood vase, a basket with an antler handle, some inexpensive blue insulators, and more! I'll have to post pictures of my garden treasures when they come! ENJOY! Kirk

    Shopgoodwill.com has been around for awhile. They started it at the Santa Ana store in Orange County, CA. There's still a large as-is area at the store that I remember shopping at as a little kid in the 1950's. The store sells clothing by the pound and a huge amount of stuff in bulk every day. There's also a regular Goodwill store next door. They put interesting things on the website, not necessarily just the things that they think are the most valuable, so you can find just about anything there. I know a lot of people that have had good results buying from them and have never heard a complaint. Linda

    Here is a link that might be useful: About shopgoodwill.com

    Linda, where have I been? It's such a great site! You're right! They do have interesting items on the site. I just received my basket with the antler handle today, and it is soooo cool! We also found several glass pieces for totems at really good prices! What fun! I hope my posting will introduce others to a great non-profit, junking site! Linda, thanks for the informative link! Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Good grief...what have we been missing!! I love it!

    I told DH about it last night. He said, "I told you about that a long time ago!" No way I would have overlooked something like that! No way! He probably thought about telling me...and decided it would not be in his best interest for me to know about another place to buy "junk"! lol

    He obviously found out about it from his friend who is the Marketing Director for GW in NW OH. And...I think he kept it from me!! Gee...I could have had another shed filled with stuff by now! I guess I'll just have to make up for lost time! chuckle

    Glad you are enjoying the GW site so much, Kirk. I had just discovered it last summer and gotten some really cool things at great prices. Several have come from a Wisc GW store, and then one in the south somewhere. But everything I've bought has been packed AMAZINGLY well. They are great packers, and I've bought some very breakable things too.
    I love this site and check it a couple times a week. Its so easy to navigate the various listings too, and just look at what you want.
    Hope everyone else who goes there enjoys it just as much.

    hugs, Karen

    OK! OK!

    I went.

    I saw.

    I bid!

    Thanks for telling us about that great site!

    Here's my question: If the other bidder has set up to have proxy bidding (automatic out bidding all bids) what will happen if I decide to start my own proxy bidding on the same item? Will this run the price up to the sky automatically? I'm puzzled because It seems like proxy bidding makes it so that the first one to set up a proxy bid on the item will get it no matter what. I even bid more than the minimum bid and that didn't even help. Does anyone here know what's up with that?!

    P.S. Susie Jeanne--my code name is Mimi9d. Go figure!

    I always bid on things (ebay too) as close to the end of the auction as possible. I think early bidding can drive a price up easier.

    Right now am waiting another 5 days (sigh) on a pair of white ceramic deer I BADLY want. It got a bidder the first day but none since. So hopefully it will just be she and I and she won't go high.

    Susie....sandpaper???? LOL, that is hysterical. You keep me laughing, and that normally isn't an easy thing to do these days. Gosh but you're good for me.

    I was prowling the internet one sleepless night, and lo and behold, what do I find? I find not only MY lil' guardian angel, but also your's and Kay-Luvs and Sandy's. And what's worse, they are all OLD WOMAN angels. So I don't think they are guardians afterall, I think they are troublemakers in wings. Now can you guess which one is YOURS? Cause I think it's pretty dang obvious out of the 4 WHO she is!

    Okay...I'm convinced now...you two are certified!

    Love the guardian angels...but I think you're right, Karen. They look like they're up to no good and are sure to get us into trouble! One of them looks just a tad more mischevious than the other three I'd say. Oh gee...whose could that be?

    It's probably a good thing we all live so far apart. Too many of us in one location could be dangerous!

    Hey...I sniped a ring tonight...but it wasn't on Goodwill..it was the "other place"! What a rush! chuckle

    ~Sandy~

  • Purplemoon
    16 years ago

    You're right, Sandy, if we 4 "Angels" got together in RL, it could get very interesting. Luvs is the serious angel, she might keep us in line. Then again, looking at her expression, maybe she's plotting the next big thing!
    I think we should all pack our bags and drop in on Kirk and Carol. LOL. I get dibs on grabbing little BenBear first tho, he's too cute for words

    Hey, I'm a great eBay sniper. LOL. I got it down to where I can get a bid in during the last 30 SECONDS if I really want something. Shame on me. Congrats on the ring! hugs, Karen

    MY EYES ARE POPPING OUT OF MY HEAD!

    CALGON...TAKE ME AWAY!

    Oh good grief...I'm starting to sound like Susie!

    Hey, Susie, how's it coming with the fur coat?

    There's no mystery in my user name on eBay or GW. I just don't want anyone PO at me when I beat them out of something they want! Maybe we should know each other's names, cuz I sure would be upset if I knew I sniped one of you guys! It's fun when you don't know who you're sniping! lol

    I got some really cool stuff tonight...and I didn't even have to snipe it! I DID...BUT I DIDN'T NEED TOO! LOL

    I've been listening to tutorials, etc. trying to learn how to sell on eBay. Oh for joy! Still have to work out some of the logistics...and then...watch out! I have so much stuff to get rid of. And it's not junk! I just can't stand having all this stuff that I'll never use.

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!

    I'm pooped...I'm outta here for tonight!

By the way, I moved to Oklahoma from Texas about 4 years ago but visit the DFW are frequently. Just wish it weren't so populated, but do miss the Texas frame of mind. Thanks for keeping it fresh for me.

    As for the rest of you angels - Fly on, Baby, Fly on!!!

    Thanks for the great laughs all!

    I cannot believe that someone paid $17 for the scary demon mask! I went as high as $6 on it and thought that was a little crazy. With the shipping, I could get a fancier new one for a little more than $25. If tinyt is here, sorry but you are crazy! lol!

    I did manage to get some books on painting for probably as much as I could have gotten used ones on Amazon. I was trying to save on shipping because I thought for sure no one else would want the demon mask. *sigh*

    This GW auction sure is addicting!

    One of my daughters was here this afternoon, and I showed it to her. We sat and went through things for a couple of hours...between GW and eBay. She had already started doing the eBay thing...now I think she's hooked on GW!

    Shoot...more competition! Unfortunately...we like some of the same things! I may have to snipe her for a purse I want! Poor kid!

    I "won" something tonight on GW...so I'm flying high...and on my way to pay for it now!

    Ms Faith, please don't tell the "other side" of GJ we are so over the top here, LOL. They mostly see us a good junkers, I hope. This side is more like the local, friendly, insane asylum at times. Is this much fun legal??

    Ladies & Gentlemen,

    Who cares if this much fun is legal or not? As far as good junker on this side - They are the BEST!!! If you can't laugh at yourself and at life you are in REAL Trouble. I am so glad you guys are what you are in order to keep the rest of us from taking things waaaaaay toooooo serious. (by the way, I am still humming "I Buy on Ebay")

    Keep up the mental sunshine, ladies and we will watch out for that "Old Lady" that creates such havoc!

    Love Y'all

    OH MY GOSH! is right!!! This is a fun junk shopping place. I tried it the other day when I read this post
    but when I got into GW shopping, the print was tiny and
    sqwished! So today I messed around and increased font
    size..."Oh, la, la!" I am hooked! I loved it! Thanks
    for sharing, Kirk, and for all of you that posted and shared info on GW site. About 6" more of snow today and
    the wind is picking up for tomorrow morning...so I'm
    stuck at home! HELLO, GW, site! Jeanne S.

    With so many new people on the forum, I just had to reintroduce this great site! I check it out every day. You have to watch the shipping though, but I've picked up several items I have won from our local Goodwill and don't have to pay shipping. A FUN SITE!!!! Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Buyer Beware>

    I have bought items from Goodwill off and on for the past few years. We didn't have a store close by. One thing you need to check is the outrageous shipping charges and handling charges.

    I saw a lovely metal vintage style tea pot I would love to have....bid 3.00 reasonable............shipping 10.00........handling.....2.00. Hmmmmmmmmmm tea pot not so attractive at 15.00 and that's if you get it for the 3.00 bid.

    I love looking thru all the items Goodwill has but some of their shipping rates are way out of line. All these items are donated and I know for a fact it doesn't cost 10.00 to ship one tea pot.

    Don't want to rain on your parade just want to make you aware.

    I also bounce between goodwill and ebay and yes I am a wicked sniper...............LOL

    Does anyone remember Andy's Warehouse Auction? It was run by Fingerhut no less..........oooooooooh the bargains I got there and their shipping was reasonable. How i miss them. There were a couple others but I don't remember the names. Sigh! Hmmmmmmmmm maybe I should google.

    Then there's freecycle.............I can't begin to tell you all the goodies I have gotten off there. Ok so I belong to 5 different ones.............:) I subscribe to all that are within a 50 mile radius and try to pick up two or more items on one trip if possible.

    Anybody watch the Junk Brothers? Boy would I like to find some of the loot they find. And that Workshop............
