    I like the store, though do not find very much. I feel their prices are a little bit to high.

    First time in today and definitely won't be the last!! So…read moremany treasures for all different collectors or just an everyday shopper! They put out new treasures daily, offer layway if needed and prices are extremely reaaonable! Found items for our game room, selves and kids! Owner and store manager are very friendly and helpful! Recommend this store to everyone!!

    When this store first moved here, I was super excited to have another place to check out downtown…read moreto support local sellers. I came into this place a lot to look around, and would usually leave with a few things too! I've probably spent at least $150 on vinyls here alone, and I don't think I'll ever be coming back again. It's really uninviting in here now versus when they first re-opened and I found out why. Immediately after walking in, I got a snide remark of "Day three? Maybe you'll buy something?" And when I left without buying anything, I got pestered and called a "Transit Kid." I tried explaining that I can't see very well, so it takes me a while to look at all the small items/read price tags, but I could barely get a word in. I live nearby, so I'd often stop in after I got coffee next door until i had to leave and go to work. Telling people not to window shop at your antique/trinket store is absurd, and I REALLY hope you weren't insinuating that you thought I was stealing.

    This is a special thrift store, different from all others in Salem. After items don't sell in the…read moreregular 'shelved' goodwill stores in the area, it's by the pound, and those blue trays are rotated. Every 20 minutes or so a new row comes out and everyone waits patently till the last tray rolls into position and Go! Great fun digging for treasure at $1.69 per pound! Glassware is 50 cents, and if it's breakable, it glassware. Plus their furniture is awesome, and each day they lower the price. $20, $15, down to $3, $1 until it goes. I stalk items, checking back until they hit my 'gotta buy this' threshold. Such a nice pleasant professional staff too, This is a hobby for me, I spend 30 minutes doing surface mining and you just never know what you might need.

    I guess when someone is about to attack you, you should let them attack you first and then fold up…read moreon the ground and yell for help because if not, the Goodwill bins store manager will kick you out of that store and not let you come back. Absolutely unfair. They won't even ask for witnesses or anything instead they'll just look at their camera and take someone else's word over yours. It's a good thing that the court system doesn't react this way with people.. When you ask for the district manager's phone number, the people working at the Goodwill bins will give you a phone number that leads to a message machine and no one ever calls me back. This place has no security. Crack heads do as they wish and they harrass good shoppers. Management is horrible because they are never on the sales floor. The employees at the Goodwill harass the younger kids, a lot more than the adults when they are shopping. The managers fill up shopping carts, one hour before the store opens . They take the best items that they can find off the sales floor so they can sell it somewhere else. That's probably the only time you really see the managers unless they are being called to the front . If you're thinking about going to the store, hide all your valuables don't leave it in the carts. I am a disabled vet and I got kicked out of that store just for preventing somebody from causing me harm . When I did shop there, my back would start to hurt as well as my knees and they have chairs everywhere but when you try to sit in them, they look at you like you're a child and tell you to get up . It's actually funny because they let their cashiers sit in a chair if they want. Meanwhile, if you're leaning up against a Goodwill bin the cashier has the nerve to tell you not to lean on it while he is sitting on his butt.. do better Goodwill. The store manager has no communication skills doesn't ask you your side of the story and will just kick you out if you are trying to protect yourself from a violent crackhead . The store used to be a great store to hang out with friends and shop, but because the manager does not provide security or sales people on the floor to prevent fights or arguments this place can be very dangerous. I repeat very unsafe and dangerous environment! Do better goodwill. The name is Goodwill not badwill so please be goodwill and stop being badwill and kick out the shoppers that are actually starting the problem not the shoppers that are trying to shop peacefully. I've been shopping at this store for years along with other friends and family, and I have never had any problems in this store and once I try to defend myself, I get kicked out. Thanks for kicking out a honorable veteran who served this country in Iraq during a time of war.. So the store manager will not kick out the person who gets in your face and yells at you and causes the problems but when that person gets in your face and you defend yourself, you get kicked out. If you are a veteran and you have mental health issues, I don't recommend going to this establishment because they do not cater to people with disabilities . This includes people with walking disabilities or any disabilities.. they have all these broken used chairs but if you sit in one you're gonna get kicked out. Awesome job goodwill. Management in the store picks and chooses who they want to kick out. I reported that a customer was harassing me and other customers mostly young kids and I had witnesses and goodwill did absolutely nothing. I suffer from severe mental health issues because of my time in the military and now I can't even shop at the goodwill in salem. Shameful. Shame on the female store manager who kicks out disabled military veterans. I'm glad I protected this country so that you could kick us American heroes/veterans out of the store. Good job goodwill management. Keep treating those crackheads special and keep kicking out disabled civilians as well as disabled veterans. I'm sure that one day it will cost you a lot of money..
