    Just picked up a pair of knee high converse for $17 and sold them for $175 in around a week. You inspire me to actually keep looking at shoes instead of sticking to clothing

    I would definitely like to see you do this as a series. We just got our first Ross store last week, and I'm excited to try Retail Arbitrage there! Thanks for another great video and a ton of great information!!!

    I source new shoes online while lying on my couch, lol. They are delivered to my door and I have them drafted before they arrive. And no I’m not giving up my sources. I also source at GW, BST, etc. but I really don’t like cleaning shoes. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks💓

    I like looking at this place called Sierra(Owned by TJ Maxx I think) and I picked up 4 Sorel(Womens) Sandals and one Brooks Ghost 14(Size 13). Brooks was $15 while 2 Sorels were $7, one Sorel was $5 and one Sorel for $3.50. Still new looking at shoes but my area is rough for shoes but I mainly do clothes 😅😅

    Reselling at Ross is only for those of us, who can wait out the people with limited capital. Also those large size Jordan's are sold at the clearance stores for 19.97 i wear the size personally. You have to play the clearance game and even then its still cheaper at the clearance stores. Now an interesting piece of content would be thrift vs outlets. Great video as usual, love the pod too.

    We don't have half off anymore in the SF Bay Area Goodwills. No discounts at all, except 20% off on Senior Tuesdays (55+). The Salvation Army frequently has really good sales, usually the last weekend of the month, and they have digital coupons for 25% off one item which they send via text to members.

    Thrift stores are the way to go, especially for sell through rate.
    The Ross and Burlington finds can take many months to sell.

    I have a friend who buys about $200 in clearance items from Ross and she’ll post them on posh and ebay. And other sites. Whatever she doesn’t sell after 29 days she’ll take back and buy new things. She just keeps using the same $200 she invested and buying new things. She makes money tho. Is it scammy? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Those yellow shoes you showed at 24:48, it just goes to show thrift stores have no idea what they’re doing. I see that that shoe (diff colors) ALL THE TIME priced high, they probably think they’re Yeezys or something lmao.

    Thrift stores lower buy cost. I do better at savers. For members you get 25% off on thursdays for my area. The issues with retail stores is consistency. Try the same video next week or two.

    Why not stop selling stuff from thrift stores and Ross and leave those items for people that need them instead of reselling. And then get a real job that doesn’t affect lower income families negatively

      You are an absolute clown. Only a muppet thinks that goodwill is in business to sell clothes to under privileged. You can buy cheaper clothes at Walmart you donut. Goodwill takes the money they make at their stores and THEN uses that to help with those that need it as well as line their pockets. Try to smarten up if you can.

    • @nndjkn9255
      @nndjkn9255 Рік тому +1

      @@DealingWithDalton it certainly does affect them negatively, it leaves them with less options to buy cheap goods, specially goods that were once expensive. And idk about where you live, but nationwide thrift stores are being left bare from resellers like you. It isn’t scarcity mindset, it’s compassion over heartless greed.
