This is a bad idea, many who shop at the GW stores near me (LA, CA)are there because that is all their budget allows. They are going to ruin thrifting once and for all with this attitude, people are there mainly for the price, fashion is something we do on our own, outside the store after all. </p> <p>GW has already gotten on my very last nerve with what they will and won’t accept - I gave away furniture on Craigslist because they told me that they would probably “Throw out” the wood bedframe that I was trying to donate. It was a good quality bed too - they just didn’t like that it was in pieces (How else could I have gotten it to GW in the first place? Duh.)even though everything was there, instructions etc and we offered to put it back together for them. They and their charity lost out on about 200 large.</p> <p>They are really their own worst enemy, I don’t even donate to them anymore - Salvation army gets the goods now. </p> Well, that will drive the regulars away, now won’t it?

GW has already gotten on my very last nerve with what they will and won’t accept – I gave away furniture on Craigslist because they told me that they would probably “Throw out” the wood bedframe that I was trying to donate.

They are really their own worst enemy, I don’t even donate to them anymore – Salvation army gets the goods now.

Why not make something great out of something that’s been discarded? As they say, everything old is new again. </p> I think it’s an intriguing idea and will definitely check it out when it becomes available.
