Bulk Buyers & Recyclers
Buying from Goodwill
Are you looking to purchase items in bulk for your own micro-enterprise? For example, many people shop our stores or our Clearance Outlet to purchase items in large quantities and resale them at Flea Markets or their own thrift stores. There are a multitude of ways to build your own inventory for your own revenue stream, such as:
- Shopping at any Goodwill store for the great values already on the sales floor
- Shopping at our Clearance Outlet, where items that haven't sold get their last chance (at prices as often as low as 49¢)
- Connecting with our Distribution Services team to purchase 1,000 lb bales of clothing, gaylords (large cardboard boxes) of shoes, electronics, etc.
Pricing is typically determined by the weight of the items being sold and a fair market value. Click here to e-mail the team for more info.
Our Clearance Experience
Ever wonder what happens to all the great stuff that doesn't sell at the Goodwill stores? It gets sent to our Clearance Center at the intersection of Commerce and General McMullen streets in San Antonio! There, you can find clothing, household items and more at the absolute lowest prices. Instead of racks of clothing or shelves of household items, you are more likely to find tables with categories of merchandise for easy sorting. In fact, some items are marked as low as 49¢!

Policies and Procedures
Bulk purchases are based upon the weight of the items being provided times the fair market value. For example, a 1,000 lb bale of clothing might sell for pennies on the dollar per pound. Payment can be made via cash, credit card or cashiers check. With prior approval and arrangement, payment can also be made through our Accounting Unit at 406 West Commerce Street for options such as a bank wire transfer.
