As in “I gave it to you for free. And you overcharged everyone for it.”
But let's also be fair, as in "I gave it to them for free out of convenience while getting rid of the stuff that I'd feel bad just throwing away"
I wouldn’t say donating to Goodwill is convenient. It’s more convenient to just throw it away. And reduce/reuse/recycle is a good thing. The bad thing here is Goodwill is blocking the three Rs by marking up the price. Which means they will probably just throw it away eventually because no one will buy it for that. Hopefully they will at least send it to a garment recycler later so that it’s laundered and then shredded to either r make new clothing, or stuffing for pillows or boxing bags.
That's why I said "that I'd feel bad throwing away".
The stages for high end go like this: sent to "goodwill boutique" and/or listed online. Sent to cheaper local goodwill with markdown. Added to cheap-item-Sunday (for ones that still do that). Sent to bulk outlet (where people fill a bag and pay one price for entire bag or by the pound). Finally, recyclers
So they don't block it so much as delay I suppose. But they've gotten good at regionalizing their processes
