Sure, but that's not Goodwill giving you straight cash - the point being that any given box typically does not contain $10+ worth of stuff.

No, it's the government (or more specifically, taxpayers [today's or tomorrow's]) giving straight cash. It's also the only reason Goodwill exists.

And I'd guess that those 30% are disproportionally represented.
