ok so i'm going to a goodwill outlet any tips?

It is scary! I found knives, glass, band aids, diapers and well, the smell in some bins.  You get so nasty and everyone throws things all over when they bring out new bins. I'm so glad I wore glasses, my eye could have been taken out.

Bring Gloves, move fast, don't let the pushy people take your stuff or push you out of the way-

There are bound to be people who are regulars and resellers on ebay.  They will push you out of the way and block you so you can't get in, especially if a new bin comes out.  They will be more mean the more "valuable" stuff it has.  If you don't mind "leftovers"... it's not so bad.

Personally, I think it's better if you go when it's first open... all the pushy people aren't concentrated on the one newest bin.
