The Salvation Army USA complaint: 100$ sneakers?!?
Filed 4 Mar 2022 by Derek
Hello,
I recently took my son into the Salem NH Salvation Army to buy him a pair of sneakers. He was able to find a pair of size 8 Air Jordan sneakers, but when I looked at the price tag it was $99.99! I understand the sneaker industry has gotten very expensive, which is why I can’t afford to buy my son brand new Air Jordan’s. But now I can’t even afford to buy him a beat up pair of Jordan’s either? To try and sell donated sneakers that haven’t even been cleaned for $100 is offensive. I understand there is a whole sneaker reseller world out there where people make tons of money off sneakers. I did not think that is what the Salvation Army was all about. I don’t even bother looking on those reseller websites because they overprice all of their sneakers, but when I got home I compared the prices and Salvation Army is essentially trying to get jacked up resale prices for a pair of sneakers that were donated. And at least the sneaker resellers clean the shoes and replace the laces before they try and get $100. I’m very disappointed that this is what the Salvation Army has become. It definitely does not reflect the mission statement I used to associate with your organization. I have purchased Air Jordan sneakers at Savers and Goodwill by my house in NH, and never have I seen anything close to $50, nevermind $100! And we aren’t even talking about Men’s sneakers. We are talking about Boy’s sneakers! I’m still just in shock and can’t believe this is what the Salvation Army has become.
