If it isnt profitable to sell what you got for free I would think there is some real problem.... I (and admittedly I am an idealist) would hope the vast majority of that money would go to help people in the community more directly and sustainably...&nbsp; now admittedly someone was employed building that nice new building in your downtown district <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923870 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:47:54 +0000 Sveta 923870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice haul!<br />My local Goodwill built a HUGE fancy building in downtown - and raised the prices significantly. I think that selling what you got for free for something is always bound to get profitable, don't you think? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923869 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:46:38 +0000 Jaime 923869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This was not shopping it was charity :-)! Great haul - now model them please! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923861 Fri, 03 May 2013 01:36:49 +0000 Beth Ann 923861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your haul --- that denim moto looks fab.&nbsp; I'm glad you felt good about the shop, as well as the clothing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923780 Thu, 02 May 2013 23:54:45 +0000 Sarah A 923780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ladies! It was quite a nice little shop. And I can bike commute there! <br /><br />Thistle, this particular gentleman was making about twice his current salary in his previous position. And yes, Goodwill has spent a reasonable amount on their community work as opposed to overhead. But I believe there is a difference between fair and ethical, he probably is "fairly" compensated from a market study analysis...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923760 Thu, 02 May 2013 23:34:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 923760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks like a great haul Sarah and I like the sound of the thrift shop you went to. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923758 Thu, 02 May 2013 23:30:34 +0000 Thistle 923758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, love those finds! </p> <p>I am not sure if the compensation is fair or not for a CEO of a nonprofit. I can tell you CEOs in private companies frequently make more than twice this, at least the ones I audited. And I live in the frugal Midwest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923689 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:56:37 +0000 texstyle 923689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great thrift finds - can't wait to see you wear them!<br /><br />I'm not a fan of GW due to this and other issues with their management and marketing practices. I prefer smaller resale shops.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923688 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:52:52 +0000 Sarah A 923688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh! And the article said many Goodwill CEO's are similarly compensated. I know at least some of you gals are Goodwill shoppers so if this sort of thing gets under you skin like it does mine do check into your local organization :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-catastrophe#post-923686 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:47:51 +0000 Sarah A 923686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ But I do so love these finds! <br /><br />The back story... I decided to check out a new thrift store today (resale shop to support a local hospice organization) after a news article that the CEO of our regional Goodwill makes $315,000 annually. That just seems ridiculous for a non-profit.<br /><br />The haul: three silk blouses (stripes, boho print, dots), apple green open weave sweater, denim moto, white plastic gumball necklace, set of three pearl bracelets. <br /><br />Hand holding and SYC isnt for everyone comments greatly appreciated!<br /><br /><br />
