I truly don't understand what Target is doing. First, people fight over the mft things. Orders aren't fulfilled. Everyone wants the stuff. Then stuff is "salvaged". Then stuff is back online for sale. Now stuff is online at Goodwill. Who is making these ridiculous decisions?

This entire launch frenzy has been strange IMO! It seems like everyone, Goodwill included, is trying to capitalize off of the MFT popularity. That explains why I have been hard pressed to find many MFT items in my local GW stores! They are probably sending the MFT salvage to the Goodwill website to see how much $ they can make! I believe it functions like eBay in the sense that the highest bidder gets the item. At least the proceeds go to charity or so I hope! I need MFT to disappear completely so that I can move on! Lol.:rolleyes:

I recently purchased the large vase from MfT and I adore it.

^Target does send it's salvaged items to Goodwill, they are not capitalizing off it they are just selling, you will find many Target items at Goodwill

Yes, I know this. I still believe that they gain more from placing the items on their website as opposed to selling them in their stores. There is a chance to make more $ that way since they know how popular these MFT items are selling. At the end of the day, at least the proceeds are going to charity like I stated in my earlier post.

The 10% is not supposed to expire until march. I'm ordering a bunch of things and 10% helps....might have to put some stuff back :(

I placed my order this morning and its shipped already with tracking no!! I got the 20 % of of 75.00 and $5.00 off of 50.00 and 5 % using my red debit card, and finally had to call Target to get the 10 % I kept getting tah it didnt apply to my order -I saved 40 %!!!!!! and free shipping-
Call Customer Service if you dont get it-I got an additonal $16.25 off.

Just spent some time calling their customer service and they never heard of the code. So my call was transferred to another person who looked up the code and insists that its only for people with a new baby or wedding registry. Hmph!

I don't think there are any ulterior motives on Target's part I just think the whole launch was badly handled. I think the unprecedented popularity combined with their switching of their website and inventory control/tracking system made for the perfect storm. They have new promotions and collections to move on to so when things were scheduled for salvaged, they were salvaged. They don't have room in the store, they have to move on.

I agree. Once Target sells their items to GW, they are no longer the beneficiary of any sales! It all goes to the charity, which is great!:smile1:
