Goodwill Lafayette

Completely unethical pricing. For a set of those gloves you can find at the dollar store which is next door, they were charging 3 – 5.00. I walked around a bit, but it was extremely dirty and not much to look at. They had crazy high pricing on things I wouldn’t even want for free. It was a bit bizarre and just seemed unethical considering it’s a thrift store where people go to buy used items for cheap. Note to self and others: if you can buy new stuff cheaper than don’t support a business like this. I usually like Goodwill but this one seemed like a shaft business.

I’m a bit of a treasure hunter, so I stop by about once a year. This one just never really has any great stuff, and mostly yard sale rubbish. But… if you like a HUGE yard sales this isn’t bad.

Extremely unorganized, dirty, dismal selection, and terrible in general. I love good wills, but this one is a complete and utter disappointment.

I like this little Goodwill Store. They recently got a new manager (May 2014) and it’s gotten better. I like that they take all the 50% off sale stuff and put it all on one big rack. I always find cute clothes here. They have very limited housewares and furniture, but plenty of knick knacks and women’s clothes, and some kids stuff. They have a ton of books, but they don’t organize them by subject, so it’s hard to browse.

I shop here often, several times a month at least. The entry way where they park carts ALWAYS smells bad. I could not walk through the doors with out gagging when pregnant recently. The prices are never consistent. Often times I will see items marked 3.99−5.99 that came from the dollar store next door.
Who ever does the prices should probably learn a thing or two about brands and retail price.
They are a good place to find gently used kids clothing but you really have to know where the items came from (which store) to be able to decide if the price is right. For example Circo = Target. Greenbrier = dollar store etc.
Would give more stars if they just figure out what is stinking in the entrance!

I have no complaints about this Goodwill. I shop here quite often and have not had nearly the bad experiences described in the other review. I find the people and prices exceptional. I find the store to be clean and not overly crowded (unless it is half-​off Saturday).

Normally shopping at a thrift store is a rather painless experience. You stroll the aisles, find what you want; usually for much less than you would pay at a normal retail store. You check out with the cashier and leave happy.
This is not the case at the Good Will in Lafayette. The items, while standard for a Good Will, are ridiculously overpriced. The staff is rude to the point where they actually insult you.
Dropping off donations is even worse. I stopped by on a Saturday morning to donate some items that were of far higher quality than the average merchandise they carry.
A man came out, not to greet me, but to harass and accuse me of dropping off items the previous night. He threatened to call the police. For what I am not sure.
I called the store and asked for the manager. She was not at all concerned with the fact that one of her employees threatened someone donating high quality goods.
This store is ran by the most incompetent dregs of Boulder County. In the current economy, there is absolutely no excuse for retaining incompetent dullards.
I live within a mile of the Lafayette Good Will, but I would sooner drive to the Good Will in Grand Junction than shop at the Good Will in Lafayette.
Its very existence degrades the integrity of Lafayette. The sooner its gone the better off our town will be.
