Kind of OT, but related to Goodwill:
I once walked in there looking for furniture to stage an investment property, and I found a stack of 12 leather AUTHENTIC Herman Miller side chairs with a $15 price tag for the stack. Unfortunately, it said "SOLD," and even though I tried to offer $100 for the stack, the manager wouldn't let me buy them. (Probably the right move, but man, was I unnerved about seeing 10 $250 chairs being sold for $15.)
Bottom line, I WISH that folks at Goodwill would have some basic knowledge of key collectible brand names (like Herman Miller) as it would help their cause, but it's just not reasonable to expect given the volume of stuff they process.
