Is it possible to price haggle at the Goodwill?

[rvablue]

I know, what kind of cheapskate am I????

But there is an item at the Goodwill that, frankly, I don't think is worth the $20 they want for it. Can I make an offer? Do the people who work the floor have the power to grant a less expensive price on something.

FWIW, while not the item I had in mind, this particular Goodwill slapped a $100 price tag on a pram from circa 1950. While a very cool and kitschy vintage item, the thing was in horrendous shape and is not worth that kind of money, IMO....

1. there's a sign at our goodwill that the

employees are not allowed to change the price and if they do they will be fired.

2. why would you want to take money from the charity work that goodwill does

seems a bit mean-spirited.

3. i've made deals with the 'pricers' in the back

esp if the item has been around a while. the tags are dated and if it's been on the shelf for a couple weeks, I can usually get them to discount it

4. Goodwill electronics are always priced high

As if they were still back in the early 90's. Want to buy an old 17 inch CRT monitor for $60, unknown functionality?
