One thing I have noticed at Goodwill recently, is that the quality of the secondhand books has gone down dramatically, at least where I live. I am having to wonder if Goodwill has begun running its inventory through the buyback function on ThriftBooks, where they will buy books at nominal prices. ThriftBooks is quite picky, but it is possible to input the ISBN (which can be scanned in on newer books that have them on the cover along with the UPC code) and see if they will take them. Goodwill could simply task someone with scanning in (or inputting) the ISBNs of books received, cull out the ones that make the cut, and box them up, dumping the rest into the book section of their stores. ThriftBooks doesn't pay much of anything for them (there are exceptions), but they pay postage, all you have to do is provide a box and print the mailing label.
