Goodwill Bins in San Diego

"The website is incorrect, there is NO clearance center here selling "furniture, family apparel, linens, accessories and select household items." There is only the electronics store, and auctions. The electronics store was okay (hence two stars instead of one), plenty of cheap computers and some of the more common video game consoles, but they were all in extremely rough shape. Much worse than I'm used to seeing in Goodwills in other counties."

"I've been in this location enough times to finally do a decent review of it and if you don't feel like reading a long winded explanation all you need to know is this: don't bother coming here as an individual customer since anything good isn't available for sale and the few things that are available get sold to a literal cartel of buyers. Find a decent non-crime ridden goodwill. Now if you feel like reading on. The location itself is nice enough (building wise) but it's 100 percent geared for huge moneyed interests who buy stuff from the USA and then resell in Mexico. Most of the staff will reserve any of the good items to sellers they know personally so you'll be out of luck if you think you're snagging something. All of these sellers essentially no joke form a goodwill cartel of sellers who seem to have dibs on everything. Management at this goodwill seems to be aware but they don't seem to care or are very likely in on how the selling and buying is done. Next let's speak about the trash in the parking lot, it's everywhere and there will be literal caravans preventing you from parking blaring loud music during your whole stay (and no security won't help you or care)and you'll be driving through trash that the poor overworked goodwill workers try to constantly sweep. Be very careful getting items of interests it's not unusual for you to be accosted or threatened with violence by the big buyers outside if they feel your item should've been theirs . That being said if you need a charger or something or happen to be in the area then sure swing by they have literal totes of the stuff they can't get rid off. If you have to go here for any reason go closer to closing time since the big buyers by then will be gone and you'll have a decent time to scour anything that for some reason nobody could tell had some value. I've snagged an x230, a mech keyboard, and even a decent Nvidia card. Of course this been over the course of about 2 years now so that should tell you how bad this location is. All I have to say is this, I've been in some shady goodwills but this one takes the cake. Good luck if you come here. Or better. Don't."

"This about security and management Security they pick on the working poor for petty things and they over look alot of safety and fire issues They throw away too much merchandise that can be resold but they are more interested in filling up the landfill Raises are rare and the turnover rate is real high Security chords it's employees just to sign things they shouldn't"

"Auctions and electronics store. Different discounts during the week, no student or senior discounts at this location. Cheaper than regular Goodwill shops, but have to look harder to find stuff. If your looking for mostly electronics and accessories, this is the place. Lost power cables, laptop power cable, speaker blew out, lost remote, etc? You probably can find it here. So far I've bought Yamaha HDMI receiver, dvd remotes, blu ray players, cox cable modems, sound bars, wine fridge, misc. cables and even a stock stereo for my van. No complains. There's also workbench to test out electronics."

"Absolutely insane..I found a hand full of goodies..the cashier that came up seemed to be bothered with helping me..mind you it was near the end of the day..found a scarf that was torn ask if it could be discounted...was told no..I also found a couple of childrens back packs .I had looked at the price list posted on the wall..figured they would probably be on the lower end..guess that's what I get for thinking $5 each..she went above and beyond to make sure of the sizes on the baby clothes...due to then being priced different then children's clothes...the whole transaction was ugly...after she totaled it...she asked if I wanted a bag..she then says there .75¢...so I had said..ok...she then cancelled the whole transaction to add the price of the bag...after how unpleasant she was I had enough...told her nevermind and walked out ..you would have thought these items were new and designer...!!! There old and donated...just as the other reviews...most of the bins were just about empty..they also had one side of the place roped off..with full bins..I was told they would have more stuff tomorrow...I won't be going back..AMVETS has a bin store there prices are half of what this store is and twice as much stuff...and in much better shape ..please don't waste your time!!!"

"I have already been three times and they just opened Feb 28th! It got better every time. It is a outlet/bin store so most is priced per pound as you can see in the pictures. But you can fin really good deals if you take the time to look. This store has it all too the other outlets in San Diego just sell one main type of items. While they say the specialize in furniture here they also had books, toys, clothes, shoes, appliances, purses, bags, jewelry, movies, sporting goods, linens and lots of other stuff. I hope they keep getting good inventory so I can shop multiple times a month and find good stuff. You might be overwhelmed if you haven't been to this type of store before. Ask a employee, everyone that I talked to were very friendly and helpful with my questions. We also loved free parking in downtown! They have a garage under the building with a elevator that bring u up to the store."

"New Goodwill outlet. The Bins. In what was a former furniture store. It is clean, well lit. Has parking underground off 15th Street near loading docks. Walk up the garage ramp and around corner to 14th Street side and people line up there before it opens at 830am. Inside you can grab a cart. They have clothing, some shoes, some housewares, and some furniture. They put bins out in the room before the public enters. There was no rotation of the bins. Pricing per chart. About 2 dollars a piece with cheaper price for 15 items. They charge up for shoes, jackets. Overall nice experience, patrons were not too aggressive yet."

"This location has so much potential but consistently floods their floor with rejected, picked through product from other outlet centers. You could dig for hours and still walk away empty handed. Do not waste your time. They'll say they're adding 40+ new bins but they are all filled with absolute crap and nothing work buying."
