![Hidden Camera POV of Every Men's Shirt in a Thrift Store [Thrift As Me, Pt. 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/STHkw2-byE8/mqdefault.jpg)
It is SO funny that you mentioned Frank & Eileen shirts! Last week I thrifted 4 "Eileen" shirts--I found them in the men's section and only looked up the brand (I'd never heard of it before) because one of them was 100% LINEN, and following your advice was shocked at both the sell-thru rate and great re-sell $. Listed them late Friday night and have already sold all 4 for $60 each.
I love finding that brand it is like cash
I actually like picking up ‘Disney Parks’ shirts and have had decent success flipping them. I suspect vacationers want the park shirts for their vacations without having to pay park prices.
Same lol
When I lived in the Orlando area, Disney World had 2 outlet stores nearby called the Character Connection if I recall. It was an awesome place to source at times, especially when they had clearance sales on their already discontinued theme park merch. To my understanding, WDW now lets you buy theme park merch online, so it may have affected demand.
Matt, huge fan of your videos! I am a couple weeks in thrifting and reselling on eBay and your videos add on to the knowledge I already have. You are great with telling it as it is and straight to the point. Quick to follow and understand
The yellow bird shirt wasn’t over watch that was a Zappos Pokémon shirt and Pokémon always does good on resell
“Forever 21 is forever ass 😂😂😂”
@@Cmc206 The best part of watching his videos 😂
“FOREVER 21 FOREVER ASS” I spit out my drink😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So true, though!
@@coco8386 yup that’s the truth!!😂
I just became your subscriber on Bookpilled. Dude - you have inspired me to get back into reselling on e-bay.. - I just wish you would say Pass instead of ass.(lol) i am old.
You had me at Eiffel 65 on Napster.
Every time you label a brand "ass", I giggle like a school girl.
"...everyone hates Aquaman, so I didn't pick it up." Matt you should probably try to do stand up on the side. You're intelligent have a very dry sense of humor and great delivery. AND you already know how to write so you'd probably do real well after some time.
I did standup for eight years before becoming a reseller. For better or worse it didn't pan out.
Really? Damn, tough crowd! I think you're hilarious! I would 100% have bought tickets to go to your stand up show. Maybe you should give it another go! :)
Is your stand up on youtube???? I’d binge watch that any day!😋 🎤
@@creativeplum No, but don't worry, it sucks and you're missing nothing. I may include a snippet or two in a vid sometime.
@@ThriftALife do it!!
Stafford velour bathrobes sell consistently I have gotten over $100 several times.
Thank you for all your detail. I m trying to start on ebay and looked at a bunch of shirts today; and didn't know if brands were sellable ( fruit of loom, gildan; etc) I now know they are not so thank you.
Love the tip about being helpful to employees. I ALWAYS take stuff off hangers & try to group them at the checkout (partly to help the employee, but also to make the people behind me in line hate me a little less). If people behind me only have an item or two, I'll let them go ahead so the line doesn't get too backed up because of me. I figure they are happier and the employee has less stress. I can't stand seeing other customers making a mess of racks. I wish more thrift shoppers were more considerate.
I do the same to help them out. Taking the hangers off for them speeds up the line. I used to work at a VV and my manager told me to stop folding the clothes and just throw them into the bags at the cash lol like wow! But you know, now I tell the associate not to fold the clothes, they love that.
I get offered jobs & asked by other shoppers where something is because I subconsciously "straighten" as I go! Yes, I worked retail during HS & college 😅
Thank you for another educational and fun video. Weird, I'm now craving sushi... wonder why? Did you say tuna, amberjack....
Unfortunately my future as a Whatnot seller appears to be unclear. I was approved to sell, went through the onboarding process, and then received an email last night telling me that my application had been rejected. Hoping that it's just some kind of error.
If you'd like to follow me anyway it might make a difference: whatnot.com/user/thriftalife
Oh man what a giant bummer! I was getting pumped to watch your first auction. Fingers crossed it’s just a glitch
They kept texting me wanting me to finish my seller app and when I finally did, crickets. Haven't heard anything since. I just followed you though
Following you on What Not. Good luck! Have to tell you when I’m going through the racks at thrift stores and I run across an Old Navy or some other cheap brand I’ll say to myself “ass”. Thanks Matt!
Following 👍
I've heard that from other sellers or it's no response.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Don't know why, I just do.
If you ever want to get out pit stains ( gotta be worth the time) but hydrogen peroxide squirted on the stain then sprinkle baking soda on top, let it sit for like an hour and tada, done.
Oooh! Thank you! P.S. you have no idea how many times I have thought of “into the mines I go…” since that one video. It encapsulates the life of a reseller. ⛏⛏⛏
Balmain! 🤯
Thanks Matt, I really like this type of vid, you share so much value! I appreciate your knowledge and you sharing of it! Wishing you lots of gems along the way!
btw.....after watching a ton of other clothing resellers on UA-cam I have to say your videos are some of the best clothing reselling videos out there.....You don't waste time and your videos are just packed full of information.....so many resellers on UA-cam are into trying to entertain whereas most viewers are out for info....and your videos are so packed full of info if you turn away for 20 seconds you miss 5 great hints......
Agree
The Red Sox #9 Jersey will need to be sold to someone named Jose E. so good luck with that. Ted Williams wore #9, so if it had Williams on the back it would have been an easy flip.
When I source tshirts I look at the graphic, the condition and the size. Then I look at the brand.
At 18:30 that was Zapdos from Pokemon not Overwatch. Yes you're 34, however you were 8 in 96' when it was released and was all over the place. I guess you were just doing cool things like fishing and didn't conform to the general population who is much lower on the pecking order. Don't be like me and get grumpy in your old age...you help a lot of people myself included and we appreciate it. I'm 38 and No I don't live in my Mom's basement he said with a grin. Thanks Matt!
HAHAHA, I love your personality and humor! 😂 "I like to call it "Assapostle"
Just subscribed and added you on whatnot. I'm a new reseller, this info on the shirt was extremely helpful! Thanks for that. I'm still trying to find my niche... I'm kinda everything seller right now. Prefer clothing though to glass or hard goods LOL way easier to ship usually cheaper to purchase inventory.
Fitted Hawaii is a local brand here on Oahu. Their hats in good condition sell anywhere between $50-$100. Their T-shirts are spotty. Some of them sell really well and other tees don’t sell at all.
Thanks for doing this video, Matt. I am listing on ebay tonight while listening to your reselling advice and HUMOR. Truly enjoy your videos, greatly.
I need the beginning to be your face, the glasses, and the creeper smile, it's my favorite part of these little spy videos!
Dude! Shockingly found a bunch of good tees like you did! An 80s Easy Rider tee that I sold for (good god) $300! Like I almost died. Two others that sold for $75 each. I'm pretty sure I'll never find another decent tee now. Thanks as always for your excellent info.
Lol. Everything is ass. Is color way a good tag? Love your vids. Keep up the awesome work. I hate Poshmark live vids is the new platform you mentioned like that?
Just today, I was moving through the men's section at my local thrift, saying "a*s, A#s, a*s, ok" etc...( to myself, of course). :D
Balmain took my listing down on Ebay.Same thing but vintage.Was shocked.Saddened.Threw it away.Jacket was beautiful btw.During lockdown.Im sure they had nothing better to do but harass the peeps.
You found one of my stores 🍯
you pass on stuff w/ stains.....Don't you wash your clothes that you buy? If so.....Oxi Clean :)
Jrider doesn't do so well on whatnot but I believe he does sell some stuff....he's big on stats so his channel will let you know if you're wasting time/gas/effort
Those "Society of the Sun" shirts were BKE / Buckle.... Coulda for sure flipped them for $15-20
Damn homie, i need you to wholesale for me. I love selling skate brands but they are rare where i live.
bro how do you know so much about clothing? I really like your content. It helps me find cool stuff at my local flea market/thrift stores
Woven - my favoite subscription t-shirt I have ever had. They are amazing shirts.
Can you do a video on thrifting for beginners? I am strongly contemplating starting to do this.
LMAO everybody hates Aquaman.
Forever 21 is Forever ass LMAO
You are a mine of information! I'm dipping my toes into selling men's items and you are a goldmine! Thanks so much!
hanes and fruit of the loom can be worth if its vintage, single stitch etc
How long you been reselling clothing? Love your videos. ❤
I've had a Columbia Titanium jacket for months can't seem to shift it 😜. Love your channel , its unique and so real you show the in depth process of sourcing and the reseller life . I picked up some Billabong Andy Warhol Shorts and Pelagic Fishing shirt last week quite cheap see how we go. Top vid 👌
"Billabong Andy Warhol Shorts" is a hell of a four words
@@ThriftALife 😂 👍
Thanks!
I absolutely love that you show the time consuming nature of thrifting. Along with your comments about each brand, great content
I'm about to do my first whatnot auction tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous. I'm hoping people come in and i sell some stuff. I'm kind of eclectic and sell a little of everything but tend to fall back on clothes and books. My other platforms are doing ok, but I'm excited about the auctions and hoping i can move things quicker.
Good luck, hope it goes well
He mentioned seasonality around 4:30 mark... mentally noted ✅️ ❤
Forever 21 = Forever Ass Lolol 😆
I need a list of the good brands, I know nothing of brands. Hard to remember so many a list would help.

Its very annoying watching people yank and stretch the neckline.
How about Harley Davidson T-shirts and shirts?
Headed that way in a few weeks. Escondido to br exact, any place would advice checking out? Thanks!
I sold a new Volcom tank t that I found at a retail goodwill pretty fast. It was Hawaii themed so maybe that pushed it over the line
"forever 21 more like forever ass" made me laugh
You done goofed on the John Carter, very little merch for the biggest box office bomb in history, prob. would've been at least $20-30 easy if not more.
Consequences will never be the same
Thanks bro
I would of bought all the Volcom shirts I pick them up whenever I see them but I'm sure I probably don't have as many as you do.
since you are cool i have a hint for you......get a commercial strength ozone generator.....ozone will absolutely destroy nasty smells.....it is corrosive, don't breathe it in.....but you would be amazed at how ozone will completely destroy any funky smells on clothing or any stuff from thrift stores.....Be careful though, don't overuse it.....and like I say it is corrosive....but used correctly ozone generators can be one of the best friends a picker can have :)
The books though📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚🙊
Looks at pokemon shirt "that was an overwatch logo I think "
I'm 34
Yup, graphics are a win win…
The Big Igloo boys do buy a lot of tee's and Hawaiian shirts too.
Just found your channel. Binging it since it’s super helpful!! Thanks for that. Have to mention - wonder if the Pedz shirt was maybe a pediatric doctors office play on peds? Idk haha
We are in this together, except for I don’t even have a UA-cam. I’m so excited to start Whatnot because I also have a large amount of inventory because I sell on Poshmark. I’ll definitely come to your shows!!! Love your videos always learning new brands
What’s your eBay store name or eBay user ?
You apologized for talking to fast, but honestly, you’re my favorite reseller to watch on UA-cam, because you talk fast. I also love that you just teach us and don’t go into long stories about your life or somebody else’s life or some story about a tree lol. I just came across your videos other day and I am already addicted! Thank you for all you do!
I love that wrangler shirt pattern what Size is it
Thank you, Awesome content, fast talking is ok in my books. I look forward to a video on the Sc-Fi Books ❤️🇨🇦
Matt, I’m headed to Whatnot to find you!!! I hope you have a great one! I think you’ll have fun there and easier on your back for sure!! Thank you for sharing all the information!!👍❤️
Chum Buddy is that gizmo you fill with fish entrails and leftover bait to attract other fish...it's a saltwater thing. Come to think of it I've never seen one work for Dorado. I don't think that Wrangler shirt is vintage...most of the Olde ones I've handled had a faded red tag with white lettering.
Is Whatsup for sourcing?
Aww, come on. You mean that Anchos tee isn’t vintage or pop culture? 😂 I’ve never eaten there, but I am from Riverside.
pit stains: soak the affected area with oxy clean spray for 24 hours. wash. sell. you're welcome.
Kinda sucks that I have been trying to get on whatnot for months now. But so many people can just get on to sell dumb shit.
I literally just picked up my first Nike pro combat shirt today 🤞🏾 🤞🏾🤞🏾 and scored a bunch of vintage LL bean and LL bean prima loft jackets and I didn’t even want to source today.
Great info as always, was curious if you've heard of any vero issues lately with Carhartt? Heard of one acquaintance getting vero'd after selling for years
Thank you. Greatly enjoyed.
Maybe one day can you do an uncover bin video please? Have a great thrifters day. ❤️❤️
Wrangler is not a good brand ?
I went to this location last week after their Memorial Day weekend sale. The men's shirt section looked very thin.
Some vintage Hanes is good
Forever ass 🤣😂🤣😂
New watcher of your video ...good stuff keep up the T-shirt info very useful 👍
I spent about $30 on clothing with one yard sale, they gave me my book free.
This is very helpful
I have a hard time photographing the red shirts. Even in the video the color of the red I’m sure was not correct.
Thanks Matt......I am still learning so much from you
A great video. Learned a lot about brands. Thank you.
I just found your channel. You've been so inspiring.
I don't give my good stuff to thrift stores. I think those stores are for people who need to clothe their family on a tight budget. ever since I learned about flipping, I stopped. I ask friends and family if they can use it. personal opinion.
You can also donate to battered women and children's shelters, homeless shelters, etc, or agencies that work with foster families and kids in foster care. Directly to those in need.
I love your videos I have learned so much Thank you
Thanks again
i swear to god if you pass on a jordan brand shirt for a puma shirt 😂
Dont look for the holy grail items, look for the bread and butter items
"Basic Equipment is Ass Equipment" HAHAHAH
Thanks for the shout out brother. It was very nice to meet you. You are an inspiration and a great resale sensei. I hope we meet again and can grab a beer or coffee. My first book pick up was 1$ and comps are $50.
Hell yeah brother. Hope to see you out there again soon. Congrats on the book score.
Bummer didnt know Gym Shark was Vero. Just picked up 5 pairs of leggings to sell. Ugh.
I haven't watched the whole video, but why is gym shark vero?
Best kind of video ever!!! Thank you for doing these.
I just love watching you!
The thumbnail pic of you makes you look like the Girl with the Pearl Earring paintijgn
*painting
Correct
Following you on Whatnot so hope everything goes OK.
Appreciate it
