money/credit for old clothes?

[Mach1]

Anyone know of a place to get some cash for used clothes, or maybe a place to get credit to buy more used clothes? I've got 10+ bags of old shit that doesn't fit me anymore, I'd like to maybe get some stuff that does fit me.

Just drop it off at Goodwill and grab a receipt for the tax deduction. I take it every year.

Do they still write the amount of items and the cost if they still have tags or did they change that policy?

I don't think I've ever had one written on. The take in guy is usually too busy dicking with his cell phone to give a fuck.

Sidebar: I won't take shit to goodwill or Salvation Army. Goodwill is screwing over slow people and Salvation Army is an organization that's stuck in the dark ages, as far as the treatment of those who don't follow a biblical outlook on things are concerned.

I don't care really - I just drop off a few bags of clothes and get a receipt. Get my tax credit and move on.

I've not seen one charity that was not focused on being a business first/charity second.

It's a bit of a drive and worth it if you are giving a LOT of stuff, but I donate to the Genesis Women's Shelter. They sell in their thrift shop and all of the money is used to support the women's shelter.

Goodwill gives you the signed paper and writes the generic number of items. I spoke with my CPA last year and it was stated that you can itemize donations, but it's way too much of a headache in that you have to have receipts for all items donated as well as fair market value by other sales, or the like. Something like that.

I said fuck it, give me the max of $500 write off and that's the most you can do.

+1 for the Genesis Benefit Shelter store. Great group of folks.

Another good cause is Mission Arlington in Arlington Texas. Yes it's affilated with a church - but they don't care where you come from and they will take all you give them. They will find a good home for it. If you have good descent furniture/electronics/appliances they will come and pick those up free of charge and find a good home for them.

If it is decent, my wife runs a non-profit that will give receipts, provided the clothes can be placed in her resale shop.

I'm sure Baron will be sending a PM to take them off your hands, don't get creeped out if he asks for your old underwear too....
