Shoppers initiate transactions online through a secure server connection. And shopgoodwill.com provides a safe environment in terms of dealing with seller fraud.

"Bidders feel protected because the items all come from one source with an internationally respected brand name -- Goodwill Industries," says Watson. "It's like buying something from someone you know."

Items on shopgoodwill.com are selected from over 1 (b) billion pounds of goods donated each year to Goodwill. Among the 40,000+ items sold on the site, treasure hunters have found an original, signed Picasso etching, a turn-of-the-century L.C. Tiffany Favrile vase, 1961 Barbie and Midge dolls with wardrobe and case, and an original photograph by 19th century photographer Lee Morehouse.
