often outlet items are priced lower than the regular retail store- sometimes it's the items that are not selling well, or the *over flow* that the retail store does not have room for- I would imagine the (quality) is going to be the same as you would find in any goodwill store- since the items are donated- quality is going to vary. always worth a stop- browse to see if anything catches your eye- or is a deal you can not pass up- just like shopping at any goodwill/thrift store.
