Does Goodwill Think I am an Idiot?

I don’t understand this.

Here is a big wooden pheasant.

With no beak.

Marked on the tag – “As-is”

(remember, “as-is” in Goodwill language, means non-returnable)

$7.99

Here is a big elk with one antler busted off.

$7.99

But, hey!   They taped the broken part to the midsection of the beast…

I am sometimes out of the loop of current trends, so maybe Martha Stewart has found a way to make broken items more valuable?

Think Martha can do something with this oddly disturbing bunny dish with a broken and poorly glued ear?

Why would any retailer even put these items out for sale?

I just don’t get it.

I certainly don’t buy them.

At the smelly store today I saw a sight about as disturbing as the bad bunny dish.

Creepy, eh?

They did have an interesting futon…

If you needed something to brighten up a room – then this would do the trick!

I saw it yesterday, and then the store had a storewide 1/2 price sale last night.

This was still there today…
