Is it really only one or the other? Frankly, no. And, we would encourage you to help the Good Will folks, they provide a great service for our communities.
However, it’s likely you have three types of unwanted or underused clothing in your closet that you can sort through and pass on to a new owner.
First, the clothing and coats,etc that were expensive and only lightly used, but that don’t work for you anymore, regardless of the reason(s) why. These items are a perfect fit (yes, pun intended) for Armadio.co and provide a great opportunity to donate a portion of the money to a favored charity.
Second, are the cloths that have plenty of ware left in them and would be great for the Good Will truck – bag’em up and get a receipt when you drop them off – they make a good tax write-off.
And, finally there are the items that you’ve basically used up and should find a home in the trash – these are typically the bargain items that looked good when you bought them but quickly lost their luster.
In addition, many of the accessories and certainly any jewelry would be better suited to a private sale on Armadio.co,then a Good Will bag, perhaps with some portion donated to a worthy cause.
A good way to look at the timeline of moving clothes out of your closet and into someone else’s is: First sell them on Armadio.co, and donate a portion of the money, then eventually the clothes will find their way to Good Will – Creating Double Good Will!
