From Australia to America - Back at the Bins!
Hi and welcome to WellREDWardobe. I’m Christin, an American living in Australia, and now an occasional reseller. Come with me back to Seattle, Washington for a very special week of thrifting and family get togethers. Lots of PNW footage and shopping at the Goodwill, Goodwill Outlet (Bins), and Value Village. I have missed this!

    Your mistake is op shopping (a) in Sydney and (b) at Salvos and Vinnies. I also add that resellers are one of the reasons why op shops prices on better known brands are so high. Why should you make money over a charity?

      Agreed. I’ve passed on things I would have liked to own because the price points don’t encourage impulsive shopping - which I took for granted as to how secondhand shops operated since they sell used goods and also can’t predict/market ahead of time.

    You need to source which vinnies has reasonable stock and prices. They are mostly all overpriced. Go and find church opshops- only then will you get your bargains..if not save your money do a twice trip back to the US and bring stock back with you. The garbage in these op shops Vinnies, Salvos and the prices aren't worth your time.

    Welcome back. Oh that dress with the cakes on it was so cute! Part time reselling is way less stressful , I would not like to be full time for sure. Zara is on my Nolo list mostly. Cute stuff but just doesn't move well for me. They need to get some real thrift stores there. Doesn't look like you could make a full time living even if you tried. Maybe getting lots through a freight forwarder. Even those 2 things you got are too pricey for my comfort zone.

    Ibis will take your food right out of your hand. With that knife of a beak. They’re terrifying. They’re called bin chickens because they will eat anything out of a bin, and make a total mess. Which market were you at? I thought it was Glebe at first, but they don’t have that many food vendors. Great haul 😊 Especially since everything is so expensive in Australia.

    • @WellREDWardrobe
      @WellREDWardrobe 2 місяці тому

    Those prices! I live in Perth and I think perhaps I’ve just forgotten how bad some stores can be because I avoid going to them. Do you have a car? Some of my favourite op shops are further out of the city. The best are the non-chain ones. Eg in Perth there’s a couple of charity and church stores that do monthly pop ups or intermittent sales ($5 fill a pillow case sale 😋). Admittedly it’s a small side hustle for me to and no where near to a full time job.

    • @WellREDWardrobe
      @WellREDWardrobe 2 місяці тому

      No car, but I do take public transport further out on occasion. A fill a bag sale sounds great!!
