Goodwill used to sell discounted items. But in the last few years the company has been caught reselling merchandise for higher than its original value. A number of shoppers have posted about the phenomenon online.

One person found a $6.99 TJ Maxx teapot retailing for $7.37 at Goodwill and another reported on a $6 Target purse priced at $9.99. More recently, a Pennsylvania-based Goodwill shopper joined the list of irate customers when she saw a $3 Walmart clearance sweater priced at $6.

“This is from Walmart,” TikTok user Shade Long (@shadelong) says, flipping the price tag to reveal an $18.98 price on a white and blue sweater.

“It was originally $18.98,” she says before flipping over the price tag to reveal two yellow clearance stickers: one for $11 and another plastered on top of it for $3. Then, the content creator shows the Goodwill price tag.
