Shopping at Goodwill anyone?

I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

I'll stay with Hi Fi, found big Yamaha speakers, a Carver power amp, and a Sansui receiver.  I have also bought some vinyl there.

"A million is a lot less than what most CEOs make"

Chump change, really, in today’s asymmetrical world. Maybe that salary is completely justified. Or maybe it is not. I have no idea what average wages are for Goodwill employees but I would wager it’s proportionally much, much lower.

BTW, "profit" is what is left after you pay your workers (including yourself), rent, insurance, and keeping your lights on. This makes Goodwill a non-profit company. A million is a lot less than what most CEOs make.

I buy about half of my work clothes at Goodwill. Just cause I hate new clothes till they are washed about 20 times. I do look over the electronic section of every Goodwill I go to and never saw anything worth squat. Good for you finding a gem.
 BTW Goodwill owner pays himself a million a year so not really no profit.
 If going to donate things might think about Salvation Army. I do however still go into Goodwill on the rare occasion to look for Dockers type shirts and pants.
