Store Offers Newest Twist on Buying Used

Goodwill stores, including the nearby Springfield store, have turned up the volume on going green.  The store offers a Saturday "Window Sale" starting at 9:30 a.m. on March 30.

Window Sales are the newest twist on buying used.  The sales are described by Goodwill bloggers as, "when best items in the store (which have been displayed in the window for days if not weeks) go on sale. There are often designer items and high-priced toys in the mix. We’ve seen everything from red lacquered Chinese lions to a Ferragamo heels to pristine electric guitars. Crowds form early, so try to get to the store well before doors open."

Check out video and photos of the windows items.

In addition, apparel is on sale for 25 percent off on Saturday.

The Springfield Goodwill Window Sale: Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis as window sale customers enter the store at 9:30 a.m. Each customer may pick up to four window items to buy. The store opens to regular customers at 10 a.m. You’ll find the Springfield Goodwill at 126 Route 22 West, Springfield, NJ 07081 (973-912-0156).
