Sucess brought to Goodwill!!!!

On February 14th we had a special guest in our class. Not just a typical guest but a person who specialize in E-commerce Programs. That person is Bill Kaufmann, Senior Vice President responsible for E-commerce programs in his own company CorpLogoWare and E-Commerce Manager at the Tacoma Goodwill. By his visit I had learned a lot about the ways that the Goodwill goes by. For every item that they get they go through a process of where it would go. And to be surprised Goodwill actually sells some of their items on the internet usually the items that are worth more in value. Goodwill is also involved with amazon.com, ebay and its own website. From my understanding Bill Kaufmann had become successful because of his interest in E-Commerce. He started as an E-Commerce manager at Goodwill and ended up with his own company as well. A two in one type of situation!!

I was looking to research a little on a mygoodwill store entry and your post came up.

I totally don't like the site.

Only reason I couldn't find the laptop I wanted was because they didn't have any real description of the products. It was kind of... fake feeling. You know?

The things sold online for Goodwill were really cool, but it just seemed like it was fake or something. Like it wasn't that appealing!
