Last time I checked Gap and Old Navy weren't selling charitable donations.  [/quote]

Maybe you could also check what Goodwill says? Here, I'll do it for you:  "Public donations are the lifeblood of Goodwill's retail operation. We accept gently used clothing, furniture, housewares, working electronics and many other items, then resell them to help fund our employment, job training and placement services for people with disabilities and disadvantages."

I don't see anything there about only selling to the deserving poor, do you?

What's your point?  Because Goodwill doesn't require an income test for shoppers that it's morally OK for a family making $200K+ to buy charitable donations at a fraction of their worth?  Doesn't that make you even the tiniest bit ashamed?[/quote]

Not PP, but no, I'm not ashamed.  I am contributing to a good cause, keeping items out of the landfill, and helping my family's money go farther.

There is plenty of secondhand clothing to go around, more than is needed actually. [/b] [/quote]

Yes, people donate lots of junk, unfortunately.  It's the good stuff that sells out quickly and is in short supply.[/quote]
