Salvation Army Stores
Overpricing

This Salvation Army store, as is the case with ALL of them it seems, overcharges on most of their merchandise. It pains me to see poor people (who the Salvation Army purports to help) get suckered into paying more for things such as furniture than they could buy new at many outlets. They seem to take advantage of people's ignorance of what is available elsewhere.
The book prices are also a major ripoff. The vast majority of hardcover books are worth $1 at most but they insist on trying to extort $5 on average for them. I purchase many books at various other outlets for my collection for anywhere between. 25 and $1. Any the Salvation Army gets theirs for FREE as a donation. I have stopped shopping there and urge others to do the same or at least think before they spend their hard earned dollars.
