You know, that's the attraction of Goodwill for a lot of folks, it's the mental stimulation of entering a gambling establishment I guess!

Yep, some of the best bikes end up with the lowest prices there.
It's not necessarily a bad thing for the store's profits, since the "winner" always comes back a hundred times looking for another fix, and ends up buying stuff and telling their friends about their "scores", bringing in new customers.
