Goodwill Bins in Portland

"Awesome. This is an outlet that charges per pound. Glassware and electric .69 a pound. House n clothes, 2.19 pound and it drops to 1.29 a pound when you hit 25 pounds. I walked out with two full bags of newer clothes and shoes for 14.76 with new toaster, digital picture frame, etc...coat and pants. Best deals. You have to dig thru the bins. Bring gloves."

"For clothing and soft goods, this is a place where you can find some great deals if you are willing to work for it, and work you will because the huge troughs of goods are only very generally sorted. But whatever you find will be sold by weight, so if you're looking for kids' clothes you can come out with a lot for very little .... if you can find things that work for you. It's an interesting and eclectic assortment, but frustrating to dig through, and there can be sharp objects lurking buried in the bins which can hurt you or damage the other goods in the bins as you and others rummage through. Books, DVDs, electronics and some other items are sold individually rather than by weight and while it is cheaper than you'd see at the regular goodwill store it isn't necessarily dirt-cheap and they're usually in worse condition than you'd see at the regular goodwill."

"This is the worst outlet I have ever been to for so many reasons. I am an avid thrifter from Vancouver. I go to the bins weekly in my area (Orchards) Which is much bigger, friendly shoppers, friendly staff etc. First off they are out of carts. Second off I get yelled at by an employee because I was standing too close to him while he was maneuvering the bin during rotation. The setup is completely different. I am not new to the bins. I know the drill. But to be yelled at repeatedly before I could even move or respond I'm like what is your problem dude! I went up to him and told him to quit yelling at me & to quit being a jerk. It's my first time here you don't have to be so incredibly rude! Geeshhk!! Then you have the entitled teens that lean against the bins waiting for the new rotation bins to come out. They will not move so you can shop. I literally had to ask them to move since they were not getting the hint I was trying to dig in them. All around this place is not worth waisting your time nor money on. They don't have much, it's small. And the traffic was insane to get to the freeway going home. (30 minutes to go 1.5 miles at mid-day) In conclusion to this lovely story of mine.........Is that This place pretty much SUCKS!"

"Wear rubber gloves and dust mask but omg I have found some of the nicest stuff here amongst crapola, intense smells and a possible diaper or two j/k - it's one of my fave places to rummage for vintage fabric, jeans, beautiful stain free quilts you name it! - make sure to throw in something heavy to reach 25lbs for the .99 cent per pound deal!"
