A trip to the Goodwill Outlet bins near Atlanta yielded a $9.50 haul that included a pair of Ansley Ugg slippers, a Brooks Brothers Supima T-shirt, Subaru owner's manuals, and a vintage lucite purse. The slippers, listed on eBay for $35, sold almost immediately, suggesting they may have been underpriced. The buyer, who blogs at The Non-Consumer Advocate, described the slippers as lightly used with plush sheepskin intact. New retail for the same pair is $120.
The Subaru manuals were charged as magazines at $2.45 for the lot, reflecting the outlet's pricing by the pound. The Brooks Brothers shirt, a black-on-black logo version, will be offered to a family member before listing. The lucite purse has a damaged clasp but was bought as a repair project.
