What is it? Shopgoodwill.com is a website that provides new and used items for bid and the money generated from the sale is used to support the Goodwill charity.
Site Features: • listings area • search function • personal shopper.
This site functions as most other online bidding sites do. Items for sale are listed with pictures, brief descriptions, start and ending time, and current bid amount. Each new bid is required to be increased in the pre-specified increments.
Why Visit? I’m a big fan of giving to charities each year and I just love the idea that I can go online and shop for something I need and give back at the same time.
Shopgoodwill.com is an auction site managed by the Goodwill of Orange County, CA. It has a fairly good selection of items for sale in a variety of price ranges. The images provided are fuzzy at times, but it is a non-profit organization after all and I think it’s a pretty good site where you can pick up some bargains without leaving the comfort of your couch.
The best feature of this site is the personal shopper. It’s an automated feature whereby you can specify the description and price range for items you are looking to purchase. When items matching your request are found, you will be sent an email informing you that the item has been listed on the site. Now how cool is that?
Overall the site is easy to use and simplistic in nature. The images aren’t the best, but the descriptions make up for it. The bidding process is simple to understand and you will most likely find a bargain on this site.
