One of the major differences between Goodwill’s megapopular Glitter Sale and its upcoming designer accessories sale? Shelves are restocked throughout the weekend so there’s no need to camp out the night before.
The University District Goodwill hosts this yearly event, now approaching its third go-round. On March 9 and 10 from 10 to 8 the thrift store brings out its stock of designer shoes, handbags, jewelry, and men’s items (ties, belts, and the like) for a two-day blowout. We’re told that this year’s loot also includes handpicked vintage apparel.
Every penny of the net proceeds goes to support Goodwill’s community education programs. Ten of their centers around the region, including a Seattle location, offer free classes in basic computer skills, GED preparation, English for nonnative speakers, and retail and customer service. This real-world training gives low-income individuals job skills to help them become economically self-sufficient.
So tuck that in the Marc Jacobs clutch you score, and keep the organization in mind when you get down to spring cleaning.

Should we try to hit this up?
Havent been yet. But how are items priced? Who decides how to price? Is it like ebay pricing? Or goodwill pricing?
Hi there – it looks like these comments were made with the understanding that they’d be shared with a friend? can’t tell if they are for me to answer … Goodwill’s staff is definitely very eBay savvy .. not all donations make it to the floor – http://stores.ebay.com/Seattle-Goodwill That said, they’re a fair and even-keeled organization intent on making friends in the community. I’m betting the prices will be fair, but not scandalous in either direction.
mine wasnt private- idk the other poster. i just dont want to show up at a goodwill to pay what i would pay anywhere else for the same item. at the end of the day, its goodwill after all. i love a great price & dont expect it for free (or nearly, even) but goodwill has become notorious for overpricing over the last few years. i can do better at a tjmaxx than in a goodwill, & do, & its never been worn. i get this is an exception, but i want a better idea of the reality for this special sale. how do i find out, pre-sale?
