I think you have it backwards. The reason they have those generic shirts out so soon is because they're having trouble selling them and figured the bump they get from grand opening with increased traffic would be a good opportunity to liquidate them. You have A LOT of new customers (mostly non-resellers) hitting grand openings, so items like that are a lot more likely to be purchased by new customers that aren't as familiar with the thrift economy. This is the same reason prices are typically very high when new stores open for the first week or two.
There has been a new GW open here in NC. Every body was raving about it. It is also very close to a Target and when I went to see what was so great, there were so many new items from Target. Evidently target is making large donations. I wonder if that is one of the deciding factors on where to open a new GW?
They absolutely do have enough to work with in any given goodwill store at any given time. Stores are never running low on donations. When you see empty shelves and multiples of the same retail store items, that’s a choice my management/upper management. It usually means most resources are put towards looking items up to set aside for e-commerce. The employees you see out on the floor are told to look busy. My nearby goodwill is only a year old, it’s starting to look like that store, it used to be the best in the state.
I recently found a thermostat, new in package, which I checked out because of your videos. Paid $10 and sold for $40 in two days! Thanks for your videos!
Actually the shirts would sell well here as long as they do not have markings or signs on the outside. As long as they are cheaper than Wal-Mart's uniform shirts, the colors are perfect for school uniform shirts.
Are you sure the rooster wasn’t a fence post topper? I have one similar and that is what I found out about it. Very heavy with just one hole in the bottom to go on the fence post.
I was at the grand opening for grove city and it was packed. I should not of got a cart because I couldn’t move. There wasn’t too much that I picked up there. I’m still sitting on a few things from there, like a Starbucks mug that I paid $5 for that should be around $75.
Love the 90s grunge AIC what a score! BTW speaking of 90s, DAD Planet and friends, BOLO make sure you are checking MENS CARDIGANS!!! Button up Also if you find them use Kurt Cobain keywords!!! These are BOLOS😊
I’ve been noticing all the Goodwills in my area are starting to sell new items. So much so that sections are looking more like family dollar instead of a thrift store. It’s really frustrating me because I come there to shop for unique and interesting things not go to a dollar store.
I have a pair of the Lululemon shoes,they are just ok. Most of Nikes running shoes are better and even though my on clouds drive me nuts in gravel because the rocks get stuck in them, they are also a better shoe.
The AI ebay descriptions are an absolute abomination as a buyer. Honestly makes me not want to purchase an item with a made up description. Terrible Terrible Terrible
I tried a couple as a seller to see what they were like and actually laughed out loud. For one thing they were too long. For the items I had they were sort of flowery almost like the back cover summary on a romance novel and weren't even applicable. Deleted them immediately before listing.
Thanks Brendan for the feature ❤❤❤ I hate being camera shy😂 But I love this work and meeting people like you 🙏🏾
I love you saying “EBay is letting the inmates run the asylum again. Made my day
Dope video
Nice to check out the vintage market
Love her energy

Where in NC? I knew another goodwill like that but it wasn’t near a Target.

Same… one of our Goodwills in Michigan gets donations from Target. Actually… our Salvation Army gets donations from Zara all year round.

Fun video. I agree that old crap is not the best thing for New Store Opening..
Love the vintage show!!! Wish I was close to something like that!
Would love to see that vintage shop
I had no idea Lululemon sold shoes 🤷♀️

But a full rack on the third day of a new store opening?
I would have loved to have found those weights!
And I’m not sure if that was a Dakine backpack, but that is a good brand.

Goodwills around the country are all run very differently from one another but it's sad to know that some of them operate this way.
When you put shoes in the washer, do you use pre wash spray for the stains?
never
Owl bag? Penguin!
My thrift is FULL of new Goodfellow items. 😢
yuck
I have a pair of the Lululemon shoes,they are just ok. Most of Nikes running shoes are better and even though my on clouds drive me nuts in gravel because the rocks get stuck in them, they are also a better shoe.
Interesting. Thank you
They store selling all the stuff donated everywhere on there on site 😢
Maybe the generic shirts are out for back to school ..🤷🏻♀️ My kids went to public school but had a dress code of solid golf shirt and khaki bottoms.
Grove City Goodwill is not that Good! I will not go back

Agree! As a seller.
