The Most Valuable Finds on Goodwill’s Online Marketplace Right Now

Whether you were donating some gently used wares or browsing the racks, you've probably visited your local Goodwill brick-and-mortar store at some point.

But thanks to the organization's online marketplace, ShopGoodwill.com, you can also scour the inventories of numerous stores across the country from the comfort of your home.

The website allows local Goodwill organizations, which help fund programs like job training and employment placement in their communities, to sell donated items nationwide, reaching buyers far beyond their local markets, often with a focus on higher-value goods that can command better prices from a national audience than from area in-store shoppers.

ShopGoodwill.com resembles many large retail websites, with categories such as jewelry, apparel, and collectibles. You can find anything from wedding dresses to xylophones to rings worth tens of thousands of dollars.

In the market for something special? Here are some of the most valuable items listed on the online shop right now.
