Pricing is Goodwill standard but the quality of the items are much higher than its Manhattan sister stores. I make the trek down once a quarter and recent finds included two Acne sweaters, a Madewell NWT jumpsuit, Denim Forum barrel leg jeans and Aviator Nation XS sweatpants. All in good condition and not priced up. Small but mighty haul. Taking one star off because of all the crazy rude resellers . If management would only do something with all those resellers scavenging and blocking everyone when the new racks come out and just allow the workers to put the items on the floor! read more

Goodwill NYNJ - Recent finds at Goodwill on Livingston - Thrift Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you want to get hounded by a bunch of homeless people/scalpers asking you for your donations and to "help you unload" your stuff as soon as you park in front, this is the place for you. The staff inside could give a flying fuck since it's not their problem. Terrible place. You're better off dumping your stuff at a garbage dump. read more

This Goodwill accepts clothing donations during business hours. You can drop off bags directly in their large bins without sorting or inspection. They provide receipts for taxes. The store itself is very large, clean, and well organized. They have a good selection of clothes, games, and housewares. The shoe section is a tiny bit smaller, but still has some nice options. Conveniently located off of the G train. read more

It is 528 and already the staff is asking us not to go into the dressing room rooms and it's time for us to go. I thought The closing time was 7 PM but I guess 528 is when they start getting rid of us read more

The 2 long sleeve jerseys I found were just what I was needing for quite a while. And the prices were much lower than my other local thrift store. read more

Decent sized goodwill for a city area. Tons of Madewell jeans and nice dress pants for work. However the prices felt very high to me for a goodwill, I picked up a pair of Chicos dress pants and the price tag was $20, so I put those right back. There was a big rack of shorts, not many denim shorts though mostly sweatshorts. About six racks dedicated to skirts which was a pleasant surprise. Shoes were very disorganized, thrown onto the floor, etc. One small rack for purses. Entire wall dedicated to dresses which was also a pleasant surprise. They also have large fitting rooms that are clean. I probably won't return to this location as the neighborhood isn't great, there was a homeless man screaming outside when I entered, and the clothing/prices offered here weren't wow enough for me to come back. read more

Interested in donating? - PLEASE TAKE YOUR DONATIONS FULLY INSIDE using the donation drop off door closest to Schermerhorn street. If you require or would like assistance please only accept help from persons wearing all black with "security" badge jackets, they will help if your Uber/car/etc is parked directly in front on bond st. Pub-leeease DO NOT give your donations to the men or person who approach offering to "help" or who ask if you're donating before you've made even one trip inside. Sadly they are street vendors and ultimately your donations will no longer go to Goodwill or wherever you hoped, these persons will try to sell your intended donations on the sidewalk nearby for far more than goodwill would ever charge and they pocket the money, your donations are not sold for a greater good or redistributed to other stores in need, you will not get a tax write off slip, and the overwhelming majority of intercepted donations end up as trash (read waste; IN A LANDFILL) at night that area garbage men have to pick up by hand, and all the good intent and effort you had in donating is completely gone out the window, wasted, it will end in a landfill, and become an eyesore and health hazard as it houses critters and inclement weather in the process overnight. Please reference the included photos as proof and a plea from a neighbour to TAKE ALL DONATIONS INSIDE, each of these photos are taken on different nights left over from people who gave their stuff to randos on the sidewalk. read more

I don't know if it was beginners, luck or what but I found amazing things at this location. Someone on TikTok had made a list of thrift stores, and this was one of them. It was actually my first stop of the whole crawl. Upon entry, I wasn't expecting much because it was so clean lol. Everything was organized by color and nothing was on the floor. Once I started sifting through the racks, I was finding great pieces. I am 5' and 100 pounds, so it's rare that I find things that fit me well at thrift stores. To my surprise, I was able to find four pairs of pants, one top and a cardigan. See photos for reference. The only thing I wish I was better was the pricing. Each item had a colored tag, but there was no kind of price guide anywhere. There were a few signs like "tops starting at $7.99", etc. I asked one of the workers, and he looked at each item and told me how much it was, probably off the top of his head? By the time I got to the register I was like it's in God's hands. Luckily, my total was reasonable. Oh, they were also no hooks in the dressing room. A little inconvenient. I came with the intention to look for frames for my home. I didn't even get a chance to look at the home section because I was carrying so much clothing. Looking forward to coming back and checking out the rest of the store! read more

This may have been the biggest Goodwill I have ever been in. It's so spacious! I would say 60% of the store is women's clothing, 20% is men's clothing, and 20% is home furnishings and books and misc. items. Truly there is a very large section of plates. While there are some gems in this store, I would say the Goodwill locations in Manhattan carry more high-end items easily. NOTE: The donation center is separate from the main store, at the NW corner of Bond & Schemerhorn. read more

This Goodwill location was recently remodeled and it's looking pretty nice. I wouldn't say this Goodwill is stockpiled with amazing finds, but there is that occasional gem. They have an pretty large dish ware section, limited furniture, and their woman's shoe section is almost totally heels. They've curated a special section in front of the store with fashionable finds, which is an amazing idea. It's also a pretty eye grabbing display to walk past and see from the street. This location also makes donation drop off pretty quick and easy - drop off is on the corner of Bond and Schermerhorn. read more

For a year and a half I've been going to this store, The prices has definitely gotten out of control, if people knew that donating there items was sold for such a high price, I think they might give it to a family member first. They had a decent Ninja air pressure cooker and they put $30 dollars on it, and the Ninja air fryer they put $40 dollars on it. Two weeks ago they had a fleece priced at 40 dollars and the coats that you would consider half decent they price it at $25 dollars. I asked one of the managers about the high prices, she said it's out of my control it's coming from the top! The new manager that came from the Village store that closed and took Collin's spot needs to speak to the people at the top and explain that this stuff is donated for free, and you don't even get a tax write off if you make a certain amount that they failed to tell people. Hope things change! Come to the store and see for yourself. You'll be scratching your head too. read more

I came in to browse the books. Picked up I am Malala but put it back down once I saw the line. I returned a few weeks later and found a few books to pick up at $1 each for paperbacks. Line was long again but I had nowhere to get to. It was a 30ish minute wait. not bad. there was a pair of altra trail shoes for $10. looked slightly worn. great deal for the right person. read more

A huge store with a wide selection of products for great prices. Each section of the store is clean. The customer service is great as well.

I went to donate some clothes about a week ago and I was a bit concerned when someone outside the store told me that this establishment was not accepting donated items because of someone contracting Covid on the inside. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to donate my clothes but instead given it to some willing patrons on the outside who were more than willing to take it. I would just like to confirm that this establishment is/ is not accepting clothes during this time. I know it's hard trying to get everything situated but clarification would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Pre-Covid this one of my go-to places to get thrifted and donate items as well. They have men, women and children's clothing as well as a slew of other random bits and bobs for your personal and household needs. read more

Does not answer their phone. Have tried calling seven(!) times today to confirm that they're accepting donations this weekend, and it just rings and rings without any answer. Unprofessional. read more

So easy to drop off no longer needed items and help the environment. Quick and easy and they give receipt for tax purposes. read more

When the manager acts extremely rude and not accommodating at all... Started screaming at this girl over the price of a jacket and made her cry. Manager kept saying over and over "I'm the manager, I make whatever prices I want" and then took the jacket the girl wanted and went around the store asking CUSTOMERS to stop what they were doing and "decide" if it was fair to call the item a 25$ Jacket vs a 15$ jacket while this girl is just literally sobbing (she was embarrassed? Something was hurting her over a jacket price? manager was being rude and mean to her?) I guess that's the downtown Brooklyn Goodwill for ya! Snapped a pic of the inappropriate manager names Sharon. read more

Went to donate some items today, like I always do after a spring cleaning. Normally I have a good experience, but the person who took my donations was quite rude. I understand when there are certain items that goodwill doesn't take, but the worker acted like I was there to dump my trash there. I had some brand new curtains that turned out to be not the right size for my window, so I put them in my donation bag. Worker said "they're not new, they are repackaged" and refused to take them. Not the biggest deal that the item was not accepted, but his attitude was very off-putting. Please train your workers better. And please update your website's list of accepted items so people don't waste their time taking in things. Last I checked, even "gently used" curtains were accepted, let alone new ones read more

Love coming here to donate clothes, never actually looked inside but they always seem to have a ton of stuff! Always a lot of people inside as well so that's a sign they have good pieces? Staff at the drop off side are super friendly (: read more

Some man stole a shirt and left his own behind. His shirt was exactly what I was looking for (it had no tag) and the clerk let me have it for a cheap price. They won't do anything like this at the Salvation Army stores. read more

About a year ago, I moved and discovered that I just have far more crap than anyone really needs. If it wasn't for this place, I could be on Hoarders. The people at Goodwill have accepted my extraneous crap not only courteously, but almost happily. Perhaps they are so nice because I never make them write out a receipt for the delightful combination of old shoes, bamboo blinds and ancient dinnerware that I am dropping off. On the limited occasions that I have found myself in the store itself, it has been surprisingly spacious, clean and well-organized. Unfortunately, the selection of male clothes leaves much to be desired. And while I don't particularly enjoy having to check any bags I might be carrying, I understand it's probably necessary. read more

BEWARE OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE APPROACHING YOU AND PRETENDING TO "HELP YOU" - They will stand right in front of the good will center acting like they work there. I was really upset that the dude with the badge didn't intercept when 6 grown men approached my vehicle asking to help and took my boxes and ran across the street . They pretended to help me bring the stuff inside. The good will officer should tell these people to STAY AWAY from the people trying to donate! As a young female having 6 grown men aggressively approach you and take shit out of my car was horrifying and overwhelming I've left feeling terrible and when I brought the last donation box all the way inside and asked the man about it all he said was don't give your boxes to them... no help what so ever. Extremely upset. It was just a bunch of kitchen items I was trying to donate. They will probably just scatter and throw the plates at each other. Super upset. They need more security at this location. read more

I've been to this place several times already & I found them to be very friendly & helpful when it comes to accepting donations. And I agree with the most recent posting from "Shannon C." regarding to taking your items INSIDE & NOT giving them to the homeless people. The homeless unfortunately try to pretend to be the "Goodwill staff" when in reality, they're NOT! read more

I love thrifting! And even though NY is pricier than the West Coast, i have been able to find some deals at this Goodwill. I have come here frequently because of their selection of dresses. I found a super cute Nannete Lepore LBD. I also found a perfect condition, cashmere SAKS 5th avenue sweater. Recently I found a great vintage style short sleeved forrest green sweater with a pearl collar. On another visit, I found a recipe box filled with a great collection of basic recipes. I have used the pie dough recipe a bunch. They were printed recipes from "How to Cook Everything". read more

I've dubbed this place the "Walmart of thrift stores", for its' wide variety of merchandise and its' excellent organization. You won't JUST find clothes here, but full size color printers, office chairs, art work, and books and old school media like DVDs and CDs. Plus it looks like a LOT of clothing. I've never actually purchased any clothing from a thrift store but if I ever do, I'll be coming here. Overall, great value and pleasant service. read more

Easy drop-off, friendly and informative staff. I was politely directed to the right place for large donations when I went in the main shop door first (oops) while also being told it was totally fine to double-park while dropping things off. The man who helped me out also let me know that the vendors on the street right outside will claim to be associated with Goodwill to try to get the stuff you're donating, so I was happy for that tip to avoid any trouble or scams. Overall, a pretty seamless experience. Things to note: 1) they don't have specific drop-off/donation hours like some places do, which is amazing. Their posted store hours are also their donation hours. 2) to donate toys, they must be in their original packaging, which I didn't know! read more

I like the staff here. Overall they are very nice. The assortment is great for all women sizing. So if you are looking for Plus size at the thrift, this is a good place to start. This location has a unwritten rule that you must wait until the fresh rack comes completely out and then you can go crazy and rummage on it. Purchased a pair of men's Addidas sneakers that were a Japan only release for $10. read more

I love shopping at thrift stores. This location is the closest near me. I literally stop by on my lunch break and after work. The atmosphere is great the people are wonderful. read more

Came here to donate a bunch of clothes. Everything is well marked so you know exactly what door to stop by and drop off your things. I went on a Saturday around 6pm, and while there was a line to donate, it went very fast. Don't forget to ask for a receipt. Will be donating more soon! read more

We use the service recently. They came to our home and picked up used items. There was very little fuss about the donation I just took a call set a brief description of what we wanted to donate. We just left the bags of items on the stoop and they were picked up early in the morning. read more

I came in here to browse around but found two awesome blazers! This black one only cost $15 and it is from banana republic. This is perfect because I have a job interview on Monday and am on a budget. There are lots of clothes at this location. Look long enough and you will find something great! read more

Don't be scared away! I was initially hesitant to go here because it didn't seem like the cleanest or nicest location, but I was happily surprised. The interior is neat and organized. Some things are a little overpriced, and pricing is organized by type of item (i.e. $13 for any dress, $9.99 for a pair of jeans). There are a lot of options for both men and women. I didn't find anything that fit me well, but they have a lot of good brands here and a fantastic variety of jeans. They also have winter coats! Those were very overpriced in my opinion, especially for a thrift store. Overall, a very clean thrift store that will have some occasional good finds. read more

The prices here are insane, the most expensive Goodwill I've ever been to. $12 for a pair of Levi's? And $3 for used books that are on $.01 on Amazon. They also mark up the wrong brands. Go to the Salvation Army on Atlantic on Wednesday half days. Similar brands since it's similar donors and way cheaper. AND the staff at Salvation Army is nicer, too. read more

Meh not so clean but does the job. I mean it's a donation spot therefore shouldn't expect much. We were here to donate some clothing for our end of the year tax credit. the gentleman helped us were super fast and to the point. He asked what you have and receipt or no. We were out of there in less than 3 minutes. If you were asked by some guys outside that if you were donating. Just ignore them. I bet they want to take your stuff and sell them for some $$ on their side. The actual shop is nice and with a lot of ran down selections. i am not a fan but it does fit many budgets. read more

The manager of this store is rude and unrelenting . He has no desire to provide adequate customer service . I made a purchase and after it was rung up I realized it was not what I wanted . I was told to come back when the manager was there to have the purchase recended . I never left the store with the items . This rude man ( I can't call him a gentleman ). told me he would not recend the purchase . he could have offered me a store credit and I would have been fine . when I asked him for the information for the regional office to take the complaint higher he refused to give me the information to reach anyone. I used to love this store . I used to donate and buy. I will no longer do either. I've been in this neighborhood for 45 years. I'm sorry that this store doesn't respect the people who spend their money there .it's not Nordstrom, its Goodwill . if they don't respect the customers how can they be good to people who are down on their luckand need the Sevices . what a shame. I will take this further read more

Why send your gently used clothing into the donation bins when you can send them here, support a good cause... and let's face it. Tax Break. To shop, enter via Livingston. To donate, enter through the back side entrance. Cant attest to the shopping experience here, since I've only really taken quick glances at their selections. In terms of donations, the staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly. The downside to the whole experience is that there are manipulative folks right outside the store playing my heartstrings. "Would you like to donate that to the homeless ma'am?" as we park in front of the drop-off entrance. As mentioned by previous reviews, it turned out to be another one of their gimmicks to make some extra cash at the expense of my naivety. These same guys run a makeshift shop right in front of the store where they sell the same stuff you just donated to them. Let's be real, they are far from homeless. Good wills beware, dont make a fool out of yourself like I did. read more

For drop-off service pretty quick in and out. Staff was ok! Product quality for sale not too great. read more

Came here to donate a pair of bf's pants bc they were faded and then went to the otherside to check stuff out in the store. Clothes are organized by gender, type, and color. Found some brand name items like HM, F21, Banana Republic, etc. Shoes section is a little skimpy. There are only 3 dressing rooms in the back next to the women's shoe rack display. The level below has home decor, furniture, odds and ends, suitcases, etc. My only purchase was a F21 magenta skater dress with a heart cut out on the back. Been looking for this style to be sold again in store, but found it here. WIN!! Still on the lookout for a leather jacket with character. Prices are reasonable, but not dirt cheap as I would've liked. I really wanted to try on some of the clothes out on the display window and am wondering if you can buy those too. read more
