They’re non-profit because the profit isn’t their focus - they have a specific mission. They’re a charity because they use the money they raise for a social cause. It’s free market because they set prices based on the buying behavior of the public. When they price too high, more of the public decides not to buy or buys elsewhere.
So what you wrote before was not what you meant. You meant because they deceptively market themselves, they aren’t a thrift store, charity, or non-profit.
I don’t know enough about Goodwill to be able to judge that. I’m only saying that charities selling goods, even donated goods, at market prices to raise money for their cause is not at odds with their status or necessarily their mission.
Sorry sometimes I do steps in my head. But yeah charity doesn’t come from a place of deception. If they said we’re selling to the middle class to raise money for the lower classes then that would be okay.

It can be all three.
I’d agree if they weren’t deceptively marketing themselves.
