    Is this really worth it. Or do you have to spend like 70 hours a week looking. Does it get easier and more profitable the more you do it because you get better at it? Also how do you know where to go, or do you just chance it.

      It is a job. You have to go look through all the racks, pull what you like, look it up, pay for it, take it home and post it (12 pictures) measure it too. Then store it and hopefully pack it up and ship it out.

    Ebay isn't worth selling on anymore... A $20 sale actually only comes out to about $12 in your pocket.... and then minus whatever u paid for the item.... You're looking at maybe $5 at the end of the day

      Not really. You have to be smart about how much you pay for something. $4.00 is too much for me to pay for a t shirt. Cat in a Hat is probably worth it but a regular or sports shirt no.

      Some sellers are super organized and do a large volume which can be quite profitable - though definitely work and not a hobby.

    I don't know what thrift store you're going to because Savers is making big money off of their free donations and their stuff has become unaffordable to those who can't afford to buy regular clothes. The prices are very close to brand new

      it's deseret industries or the di. it's headquartered in utah and they are everywhere here and there are quite a few in idaho, arizona, nevada, colorado, oregon, washington, california, and Texas. they take free donations and sell them. most aren't to expensive.

      @@collinkeyser6827 we don't have Goodwill over in my area anymore. So I don't know what Goodwill is charging but I do know that you're not going to find a $3 shirt in Savers and all their gold and jewelry that's being donated to them is going into the corporate pocket. And I thought that there were certain laws that thrift stores needed to follow to be considered thrift stores but they're making so much money off of their free donations I don't understand how they qualify to be thrift stores anymore and their prices have become outrageous and it's supposed to be affordable for people who are on welfare or are on Social Security and even their struggling to buy things in there. If it's affordable to them it's something holes in it
