Anyone ever do business w/this one/ Reviews?

As you may know I go to Goodwill and I see a lot of people w/carts full to the very top w/stuff. I later see them on sites such as these w/hyper inflated prices.

Are you saying that people buy stuff from Goodwill and then sell it online?

I can't see any issue with that.  I'm giving the stuff away to Goodwill and apparently they are selling it and making money.  

So what if the person is buying my donations and re-selling them?

So that's what the women in Goodwill are doing with the overflowing carts of stuff.

You missed my point-I am asking for reviews for Offer-Up. I really do not care about your donations.

Looks like Craigslist to me.

Nothing wrong with people sourcing from Goodwill's thrift stores. Goodwill gets its money, the resellers take the risk with theirs. If they score, that's great. Keeps them returning to Goodwill and filling its coffers.

CC; The overflowing carts: I was told that is why GW changed there return their return policy.

@ALRATIBA   Whatever the people do with the donated goods, keep or sell, they are able to get the funds they need to purchase food, supplies they require.

I have never done any business with them, but I do like to see what folks around here have for sale. 

I wonder if people make much money doing what you are talking about? I have noticed there are some very nice vehichles parked at the local Goodwill and the parking lot is always full.

Actually, most of the resale stores in this town always look busy.

Goodwill gets stuff donated to them =  Win

Goodwill sells the donated items = Win

Someone buys the item from Goodwill and resells it, making a profit = Win

I fail to see the problem here.
