    Your Goodwill still has reasonable prices. Our local Goodwills have gotten quite expensive.

      They are more expensive than Ross, & TJ Maxx for clothes & table ware.
      Dollar store items are marked up 😂

      ​@@luvjesuslee2033probably because their costs are up but they don't have the nest reputation as far as having top heavy admin salaries. Salvation army was typically better at directing donations to the needy.
      BTW You could always ask for a lower price at thrift shops. Some will give a break especially if it isn't apparently a reseller.

    Accidentally found a yard sale last year, no advertising anywhere, just 1 sign in the front yard "Old Toys". Guy was selling his wife and Brother-in-laws childhood toys. First gen Transformers, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica figures, Planet of the Apes, everything was complete. Almost everything was in the original box. Filled the back of my car up for $47. Jist hit $3000 in sales with a few pieces left.

    My best buy was at a yard sale. I walked by one place setting of willow ware from England priced at $25, so I thought. Then I overheard the people giving the yard sale say they couldn't believe it hasn't sold yet. Maybe they should put the rest of the boxes on the table. I got them all place settings for 12 still in their boxes for $25. I was thrilled!

    Great video. My most valuable single item found at a thrift store was a Chanel coat i sold for $1,250, I did pay up a bit at $75. I also bought a huge box a Bumkins baby bibs for $20. If I remember correctly there were around 300 in the box. I sold them for $10 each. I also sold a 1992 Versace bondage collection vest for $735. I paid $10 for it. That was years ago and today it is worth many thousands.

      WOW!! All of that is wonderful!! I'm so happy for you!! I just recently started my journey as an eBay reseller. About a month ago I was out in my grain bin just looking to see what all I had stored in there from years past that I had forgotten about and found a tool that is used to take huge nuts off of bolts or take the nuts off of tractor tires to change or repair. I got it out of the dumpster at the wind farm I used to work at as a security guard. They threw away so many expensive tools! Anyhoo, I about fell over when I looked it up to find its price, I got $900 for it!! I'm still singing hallelujah to God and thanking Him!

    My highest valued buy from goodwill was just about 2 months ago. It was a huge bag of Gi joes that were all completely taken apart. Almost like it was a collectors collection getting ready to replace the O rings. It weighed about 8-10 lbs. It was double bagged as well so it was really cloudy. I honestly thought it was knock of Joe's or newer 2000s era ones......I figured either way it was 4.99. When I got home I was in for a shock. It contained almost every joe from 1983-1989. Including 3 or 4 rare variations, and some mail ins. It took me over a week to get them all put together. About half of them were complete with thier weapons, and accessories. I had tons of extra pieces which leads me to think there was another bag. Total sales so far is a little over 3k

Started comping a few, and we'll yea then I was definitely like wow okay not bad lol I was really close to keeping them for real....only 4.99, and chances of ever seeing those together like that again is not gonna happen lol I honestly don't know why I didn't keep em.....idk I guess getting older you lose the hardcore interest in certain things. I collected retro video games from 95 up until 2019. Sold everything to a guy in Pennsylvania for 60k. He got a killer deal though.....it hurt at first but it wasn't so bad now that I look back

    My best Goodwill find was a vintage Austin air purifier that I bought for $15. I sold it a little over a week later for $385. My best sale finds was at a church sale. I found some Sherwood scuba gear that I picked up for $20. I sold it a little over a week later for $600. My best yard sale find was at someone’s house in my neighborhood. They had a 1985 GI Joe USS Flagg Aircraft Carrier in their attic that they were just going to donate/throw away. They just gave it to me and refused to let me pay them for it despite my begging. It’s about 60-70% complete, but I was able to sell one part of it for $210 and another for $90. I have the rest listed on marketplace for $780 with 4 saves on the listing so far. It’s a little warped and worn, but still easily around $1,000 in value. Complete sets sell for around $4,000 on eBay, so I was mind blown when they just wanted to give it to me!

    My niche is vintage audio. I used to find a lot of it thrifting. But almost never find it at all anymore....and definitely no vintage twin power HKs for $9.99 in 2024. Not. A. Chance. Around here! I used to hit my thrift route a few times a week and filled up a storage shed with vintage audio. Now I might find like 5 cool vintage audio things all year. The Goodwills around here would auction it and it would never see the shelf. And if those were in any thrift store around here, they'd be priced at least 200-300 each.

    Oh and last week I also found a lady selling her husband’s and her father in-laws golf stuff to make room in the condo garage. $20 for the 2 bags and everything in them. And boy were they full, 46 clubs altogether, maybe 50 balls, and tons of nice extras, like the fluffy protector tops, and everything were top brands and even some cool vintage clubs from 70s and 80s. Only did a little research so far, but every club I look up is sold on eBay for $20-$30 minimum, and there was a driver that sells for $80, and the 2 bags alone are leather and really cool, prob $50-$100 on each.

    1000 is for a fully recapped unit in excellent cosmetic condition. You'd have to pay someone $150-$300 to have it fully recapped and restored. Its 50 years old, so even if its working its on borrowed time. But people expect that. Y'all really need to buy some Deoxit D5 and F5 to clean the potentiometers and switches. Dirty switches can give you lots of intermittent problems. Often you can clean the controls and switches and everything works. Its really easy to do and I'm sure theres youtube videos.

      Yeah, I think we'll probably go the full refurb route and pay the guy. We have a few units to drop off that we would never have the time to figure out ourselves.

    how are you able to get the price stickers off of all of these items so well? i collect dvds and when i buy them from goodwill i despise when a worker puts a price sticker right in the middle of the cover art. those stickers are so hard to get off!!!

    • @propicker
      @propicker  Місяць тому

      One tactic that works well depending on the item is to use a blow dryer to heat up the glue and then peel it off.

    While not a thrift store find, I snagged an amazing find at an estate sale. Paid Just over $200 for 2 signed Keith Haring hand done artworks. Both pieces were valued at $3-$5k a piece in 2017 on Antiques Roadshow with the man whose estate it was. I am keeping them though for a bit. lol

    I once went to goodwill and as a collector of sims I ended up finding a limited edition version of the sims 3 showtime for the pc still in the case with the papers you normally see in the case for myself. I already had the basic showtime but I couldn't pass up on a copy that was limited edition for $2. my oldest of my 3 brothers gets me my little pony since I also collect that. He found a 2ft tall working animatronic twilight sparkle toy for $5 at goodwill. It's $200 brand new, $100 if in working condition missing all the accessories. i already had this pony in my collection from when it used to be $30 brand new through amazon so a second one was really nice to have. Keep your eye out for a 2ft tall animatronic my little pony toy and if it's cheap get it.

    the sewing machine thingy you picked up is a serger. it's a bit tricky to thread and see if it's working. i didnt catch the brand but if you want any help seeing if she works, im local. i don't sell or anything. i happen to thrift and sew for fun. awesome finds on the embroidery stuff! lightweight to ship and they don't go out of use as fast as say the old cricut cartridges did.

    My most expensive Goodwill flip was a vintage 1982 GI Joe kids game - it was one of those games where you hang the target on the wall and have essentially ping pong balls covered in velcro that you throw at the targets. Anyway, it was new sealed in the package, and this piece turned out to be extremely rare, there was only one I could even find a mention of online. Sold it in 2 days for $500 to the same guy who owned the only other one I could find. I paid $2.99 for it.

I hear many people donate their expensive items , but don’t know what they are worth. I guess they don’t look to see because they don’t want to. You did very well and Jessica did also .

    My best was a rare gold Colman lantern that I bought for $6 at the goodwill and sold for $1725! It actually sold to a buyer overseas two weeks after shipment I received a email from eBay informing me the item couldn’t be delivered because of some sort of restrictions. To make it more unbelievable I was told the buyer was to be refunded and I could keep the sale the lantern was never to be seen again. Very strange

      Dr Lori said this is a problem with overseas shipping sometimes they can claim they didnt get it and you have your refund, and I think the USPS insurance doesn’t pay because once it’s through customs it shows delivered on this side…they don’t track it further? It’s good ebay refunds!

    a few years back I bought a suitcase full of Atari games and not knowing a tremendous amount about Atari I figured I'd offer her a buck a game and could likely break even at least and learn a thing or two. We ended up at $90 for the case, 110 games in it. About a dozen were still in box and 3 of those were branded Spectravideo and sold them for $1750 on eBay. Rare as hens teeth the buyer said.

      That's a good point. I listen to a lot of radio in the truck, but typically stream in the barn, so I'm not sure how the normal reception is there. Also, I noticed after editing the lights on the front station selector need replaced too. So, it probably makes sense to have some clean it up and make it real nice anyways.
