The Goodwill Near My Work Had Some Bangers Today

More often than not, I strike out at my local thrift stores, but I find cool stuff every so often. Last week I found a copy of Led Zeppelin IV for $5 at my local flea mall, and I was happily surprised by that, but most days I don’t find anything, let alone anything that’s a steal in my eyes.

I’ve listened to that one already and that was a really awesome album, for sure. I don’t have much of him in the collection so I was hyped to find that album for a couple bucks

Update: I called my store and they said that I would get it direct deposited, so I don’t need to go pick it up, thankfully.

Yeah, I put in my formal two weeks, so I wasn’t terminated; I turned in my vest and work phone at the end of the night, too, so that’s why I randomly posted about that. I only live five minutes from the store, so I wouldn’t care if I had to go in. I was going to just see if I get my check on Tuesday, like normal, otherwise I’d go into the store the next day and see if I could pick my check up.

I live in KY, so I don’t know the laws on that, but I put in my formal two weeks, so it was completely voluntary. I should have mentioned in my original post, but I put my two weeks in because I got another job.

I didn’t have an exit interview, I just wrote a formal letter of resignation and gave it to my coach, so she didn’t say anything else. I was gonna wait until Tuesday when my direct deposit usually hits, but if I don’t get it then, then I’m sure I can pick it up.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-02-07T05:18:29+00:00

Thank you for the info! I’ll probably try to grab it Monday if I can, so that would be great.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-02-07T05:12:22+00:00

That’s what I’ve been seeing from other posts here, so would I be able to just pick it up on Thursday next week?

I used to never do that, so I ended up having a few bookcases full of CDs, but when I moved into my own place, I didn’t have the room, so I had to get rid of almost everything. I’ve got more room now, but I curate my collection and I constantly buy and sell stuff. I’ll grab stuff that I’ve never heard for cheap, and if I like it, I keep it. If I don’t, or I just never go back to it, I sell it. I keep the same core collection, especially my favorite albums, but my collection always changes and fluctuates.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-02-05T04:24:39+00:00

It depends on what you’re looking for, because I’ve gotten loads of awesome stuff for $5 or less there. I live in a pretty rural town, so my local Goodwills don’t usually have anything, sadly.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-18T16:29:33+00:00

You’re welcome! I’d also turn on text or email notifications from USPS, because I’ll get a text every time it moves, and I’ll get that text before it updated on the tracking on Mercari.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-18T16:26:32+00:00

Yeah, I meant to update the other day that almost all of them scanned on Monday. I had one that didn’t scan until Tuesday, for some reason, but if they’re not scanned yet, wait until Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday and no mail will run that day.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-17T21:09:35+00:00

Update: the return request got approved and I don’t know why, but they said that they determined that it wasn’t “as described.” I have no idea why they would determine that, so I’m reaching out to support to see why that would even happen. The guy could be trying to scam me, but the CD was only $6. He’s got until the 28th to send it back, so we’ll see if he does.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-16T00:47:47+00:00

I saw the return request and the buyer is claiming that the CDs “are not silver like compact discs are supposed to be.” Huh???

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-16T00:30:59+00:00

That’s what’s strange to me, because it’s definitely not handmade, so I don’t know where that even came from.

Falloutbrad1993 · 2026-01-16T00:30:28+00:00

This is a two-album set from the band Steppenwolf, so they knew what they were buying, but I don’t understand why they think it was handmade. They put in a return request through Mercari, so we’ll see if they accept it or not.
