I don’t think it’s that Goodwill and other thrift stores have become greedy. It’s simply that daily they watch resellers come in checking everything on their phones and hoping to buy cheaply to resell at a huge profit. They have decided to get their share of the pie which is very fair. I love shopping thrift stores for myself so I don’t mind paying their higher prices. But I truly wonder where poorer people now find necessities at a price they can afford.

I only go to thrift stores on senior discount days. Goodwill has gotten greedy 😑

All Goodwills across the country are raising their prices from what I’ve seen on other channels. It’s crazy.

I was in Minneapolis the end of June this year and was excited to shop at a few goodwills during our visit with family. I was shocked on the prices there. Way higher than I pay in a suburb NW of Chicago.

The wall hanging is lovely

Well done on two good finds 😊

Goodwill is also putting so much online. Our Savers stores are high. Their overhead is higher. Our Goodwills are horrible in my area.

Thank you for sharing your videos! I am just getting back into re-selling. My husband passed away 2 years ago and I am trying to downsize our large farm home. Going thru the items here before donating to bring in some extra money. A question about the things that you buy at rummage sales and thrift stores, specifically the loveys and blankets. Do you wash all of these before you ship them? I would assume so, but is there a particular detergent you use? Again, I love following your videos!

Our closest Good Will is a huge one and the prices are really inconsistent. Usually they are insanely cheap or very overpriced. What is funny is when the item still has its Ross price tag on it and it’s less than the Good Will price.

I have noticed the pricing going up too.. Minnesota Native here;))

I have noticed that too.. Minnesota Native here;)

C'mon Goodwill ... you are a non-profit organization getting your inventory for FREE. Pass some of that savings on to your buyers - whether they are resellers or people who prefer shopping second hand!

Love the videos- you are a natural at this!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤❤

Just found your channel today and subscribed. My son lives in Minnesota. I need him to hit up some church rummage sales!!

I discovered Bins 8 months ago, and absolutely love treasure hunting. This winter I have so many cashmere to wear, I never had in my life time! Wraps, sweaters, scarves, ponchos - love my collection! ... and so much more. I also started selling on ebay, as a part timer, and really appreciate $$ I am making.

What does the 'sold via promoted listing' mean? What is a promoted listing?

Nice to see a fellow Minnesotan and fellow retiree. Enjoy the videos. My last job before retiring three years ago was with Goodwill and in their auction division here in the Twin Cities. I was a media specialist. Learned a lot. Keep up the videos.

Would you like to learn more about what types of things sell online on eBay and Poshmark? I source mostly at the local church rummage sales and also at the Goodwill Outlet (also know as the "Bins"). These everyday thrift store items can bring a great profit if you just know what to look for!

Some people don't want the memories of their wedding LOL! When I divorced my husband, I trashed all of our wedding photos etc., my mother asked how come I didn't want to save the photos, and I told her, who wants to be reminded of a bad marriage that is no longer LOL!

I'm surprised you're not bringing your water in a reusable bottle, all this plastic is such a waste.

Where can I purchase the items you find?!? Thank you in advance ❤

The bins intimidat me, lol

Great finds!! 😊

630🎉 enjoyed the video you came up in my suggestions!! NEW Sub here!! 😊

Nothing new. Many are doing it. I would question selling on Ebay as they're a little more picky about what they sell.

I like the hard goods also. I got to go to a bins first time 2 times last week it just opened. My husband goes to the Dr 2 hours away, I loved it I never want it to go off my bucket list. Do they send the stuff to another store? It had to come from some place to begin with. There was not that many people there.

Looks like you made out quite well ! This time of year you should do well on those items with tags, esp. the Hard Rock Paris shirt ! :~)

Your bins are so clean. Your prices are better than ours too.

I'm glad you were able to find all the books

You can find some really unusual items at the "bins" - even your wedding dress! It can be intimidating and a little chaotic. The store is fully of energy - but also full of some great treasures. Some to keep and plenty you can flip for a profit. Come along with me as I take you into one of Minnesota's Goodwill "bins" stores.

I think you found some lovely items.

New to reselling, and I'm learning so much from your videos !!

I really like it that you described how things were priced, by type, Pounds, etc. I've never been to the Bins, but would like to sometime in the future. I'll remember not to go on Fridays ! lol

Why does it matter what you find!

I love the bins! It feeks like such a treasure hunt. I haven't gone since May - trying to work through my "death pile" first, lol. I usually go to the St. Paul bins & find loads more compared to the BP location - but it's bigger & more hectic than BP - so probably not for you 😉 So fun to watch your videos & see the local perspective.

I'm fortunate to live about 25 min. from our local Goodwill outlet. I have so much fun there but it can get aggressive. I don't play that game....I go dig after everyone has rummaged. It upsets me that people dive onto the pile and THROW things around and break them. Our outlet just charges by the pound for everything....it's $1.59. Ours does not carry any glass at all - it's new and huge and clean. The employees are constantly sweeping and picking up items.

Great that you were being selective, but would have enjoyed seeing more “found” items, rather than the things you didn’t choose to take. Good luck on your next trip to the bins!

I'm picking up a dog brush tomorrow. Thanks and great channel

I over do on packing . I use freezer bags alot . I have blue for men and pink for ladies

There was a Goodwill Outlet close enough to me to make a trip a few times a year but it moved further away. And that's okay. I could only go on the weekend and the resellers made it an unpleasant experience. They were either swarming over the latest bin or lined up along the walls with their multiple carts, waiting for the next bin to come out. It felt very predatory.

I so agree with you about taking care to ship things. My husband and I always sign the invoice and carefully wrap and package things. I think it matters and shows that you care about them receiving a nice product!

Great details...subscribed

I’m curious what you consider a reasonable profit after shipping and boxes, packaging ect. For example at what price do you stop considering selling something? Thanks.

It can be a crazy experience! One that I was a little intimidated to try at first. The store is full of energy - but it's also home to some really great bargains that you can buy and flip for a profit. Come along with me as I take you into the Goodwill "bins" store.

Hey! Thank you for showing. Very helpful! Keep up the great work.

You may just think to walk by these items on the tables at a church rummage sale or on the shelves at the thrift store! You literally can sell almost everything on eBay. Just keep an open mind when you are out on a sourcing trip!

New subscriber here-- what part of MN are you from? I am in Twin Cites area. Keep the great videos coming!!

Great video. Maybe you have one showing the box cutter items and how to use them, since you didn't need it here? If not, maybe you could add that to a video? I'd like to see them used before I purchase them. Thank you.

I just found your channel and subscribed. I usually watch Mrs frugal trash to cash and also A rural squirrel. Hello from the West of Scotland!

One of the first times I shipped something breakable - it broke! But like most things, I just kept getting better at it the more I practiced doing it. Once you have your best practices in place, it just gets to be second nature.
