Goodwill Industries RIPPED ME OFF MT.VERNON, Washington

I to have a few issues with the Goodwill organization. Firstly I donate to them all the time and I go to my local Goodwill almost four times a week to buy things. I also use their auction web site to purchase things. In other words I am very familiar with this organization. 

You said "And the main reason they are in operation is to help the needy. Am I wrong?"

So you are mad because you bought something from a charity and couldn't sell it on Ebay for what you paid.  Giving you a deal so you can make money on EBay is not there priority.

SHAME ON YOU!! Because of people like you is why the needy cant afford to shop at Salvation Army anymore.

"They had a price on an item they called antique that was too much and I asked them if they would come down,and they said no. so I bought it anyway and ended up trying to sell it on ebay and it wasn't even worth half of what I payed."

   Sounds like you ripped yourself off.  If you're going to be in the Ebay selling business, it helps to know the value of an item before you buy it and try to flip it.  The true value of an item is what someone is willing to pay for it.  Goodwill obviously priced the item correctly, because you paid it.   That's more money for the good folks at Goodwill.  Bravo!

"And the main reason they are in operation is to help the needy. Am I wrong?"

  You're absolutely right.   If they'd priced the item lower, that would have been less money for their charitable cause.

"I am so upset that they can do this to people and rip them off like this."

  So, let me get this straight.   You feel you were ripped off because they don't price their items low enough that you can buy them and flip them on Ebay?   That's not what they're in business for.

"One of these days people will just stop donating completely."

  Not me.   I give them stuff in the hopes that they will be able to make the maximum amount of money off those items to support their charitable activities.  You, on the other hand, appear to think that Goodwill exists to supply low priced items for your Ebay sales.  They don't.

"Can't the government regulate them?"

  What do you suggest?  The Department of Goodwill Price Control?  That's a hoot!
