I just got my resmed mask listing pulled. Said anything that covers the face can't be listed.
Doesn’t surprise me. I’ll be listing mine on another platform
@@PartTimePickers The only platform that may not flag it is "Craigslist". That's been my experience. Good luck.
@@PartTimePickers what's the other platform?
You may also open yourself up to legal problems by selling prescription items.
That Res Med mask shouldn't have been in that thrift store.
When you said vintage and then 1998.... my soul cried.....😭😭😭😭
😂😂
🤣🤣
It is vintage
Me too. That was like 10 years ago….. wait. 😭
Time flies 🪰
Glad to see Goodwill go out. They are out of their minds with prices. They lost about $50-60 a month from me. I don't resell. I do it so I can live normally. If normal is buying used clothing etc.
These charities forget who needs them.
That’s because Goodwill is not a charity
it's worse than u could imagine..I saw a special where gw pays handicapped people .59 an hr n docks them pay if they don't make quotas ...it's true..
Yea goodwill is for profit and wackkk
@@k.johnson6198 WOW!! People believe anything. What you're saying is absolutely NOT TRUE
I WORKED FOR GOODWILL THAT IS SUCH A LIE THEY DO NOT TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES BADLY THEY'RE ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD COMPANY TO WORK FOR.
THEY DO HIRE THE DISABLED THEY WORK WITH CASE MANAGEMENT AND ANYBODY WHO IS DISABLED GETS A FAIR WAGE. THEY STARTED THE SAME WAGES EVERYBODY ELSE.
Goodwill is a non-profit company that does many positive things for the community it serves.
Fact check please before you open your mouth about things you don't know
@@julielumsden5184 absolutely not true another misinformed person the company is great to work for has wonderful benefits does lots and lots of wonderful things for people in the community as well as help the disabled work.
That’s why second hands store are starting to over price their merchandise because people resale things for so much more!! Unfortunately
I don't understand why they would do that though. What is it to them what customers do with the item once they've bought it?
If the store hike their prices up too high then they won't sell it.
So really it behooves them just to keep their prices low and reasonable just like normal. They're still making money. All their stuff is donated, it's all given to them for free. Some places are getting greedy and hike their prices way too high like Goodwill is getting ridiculous with some of their prices. The prices vary too because it depends upon the staff member who is pricing items that day. I know some items have set prices like the clothing racks.
Just wanted to add I persomally do not buy items to resell.
Non-profits are pricing their merchandise high to be good stewards of donations. Resellers are adding value by searching, cleaning, repairing, up-cycling, warehousing, curating, promoting, and shipping items they purchased. I actually had a 2nd hand store manager blame resellers like me for her price increases. I asked her, "so, it is ok for you to charge $10 for something you got for free, but it is wrong for me to charge $20 on something I bought for $10?" I know this is a sensitive topic, but it really comes down to knowing and respecting what each side is working to accomplish. And resellers are a lot more transparent about their markups and margins than the industry in general, and frankly there is a lot less price gouging by resellers than there is in mainstream clothing outlets.
@@kinsmade--wherecraftsarefa7830 I agree with you. Some donors don't bother washing clothing before donating and that usually ends up going to recycling. Shops don't have the resources for washing/simple repairs. Steamers kill a lot of bacteria and remove wrinkles but thats it.
Here in GB very little gets through the vetting process since ecommerce began. Every chain screens out items of particular value and puts them directly online. Upcycling of clothing seems to be the way to go. Or spending more on vintage pre 80s fashion that can be given attention and sold on.
Saving other people the time it takes to search items of good quality is worth a lot, especially those working when these shops are open.
Exactly and have you seen how much of that money goes to the CEO and other high ups at goodwill?
@@cherrywilson6267 Perhaps we are bottom feeders...I like being cast in the role of those making use of landfill bound cast-off clothing. The most valuable thing a human can do for this planet is reduce waste. So, if you value clean air and water you can thank the noble creatures doing dirty jobs
Don't feel bad about spending in St Vincent De Paul- their proceeds go to help people!! Its the goodwills that are schisters.
Agreed! I won't buy from them.
Yup, that's right. I volunteer @ a St Vincent de Paul & they help many people in many different ways. Great organization!!
Tell me about Goodwill please.
@@Irish-Triplet they're the worst! the guy who owns it makes 15 mil a year.......
@@rocketsurgery1085 Thanks for your response! I take my elderly mother there and they ask if we want to "round up to the next dollar for their programs". I asked what their programs are, the cashiers have no idea. Seems like a red flag to me too.
Thrift can really be challenging at times. One day there deals and steals every where, and the next there is nothing.
I definitely agree
It's a hunt for sure.
Could you do a disappointment video? One where you find nothing at any place so WE can feel better about ourselves :-) Love the journey!
😂
Haha
😂😂😂, when you pick up everything you always find something lol. He admittedly finds enough to make us all feel a little bad about ourselves lmao.
😂 good one !
I am always surprised to hear when other sellers talk about NOT finding stuff!! And always Shocks me when they go in and only stay for 15-30 min and come out with a bunch of stuff!!
I'm usually in a store for at LEAST an hour, More if it's a new to me store or I haven't been there in forever.
The title says it right I miss a lot of things in thrift stores especially miss them actually putting something worth more than a dollar out to buy i miss the old goodwill days before e-commerce lol
Seriously there is enuf crap to go around for everyone in US. US has become disposable country. Why would it matter if anyone says what they do to earn a living? You never know if someone needs a job and if video or conversation sparks another to do same, why not help each other? This idea to keep a secret so one can have more or keep price low has selfish tendencies. Do the hunting, work and give to another will work out in ur favor in the end. Njoy the hunt, blessings 🙌🙏
Me too. Used to be fun. There were always pickers looking for stuff to sell in their vintage shops or flea markets, but not like now. Always found exactly what I was looking for & several cool items I didn’t really need. Now you have to hit 3 or 4 just to find anything that isn’t used made-in-china garbage
@@ShakaCthulu precisely it's a joke
@@craigwolf9916 Yeah man. Internet ruined most things & the “internet-of-things” like SmartTech is going to ruin what’s left in the coming years. When I was 18 I worked at a Thrift Store, you rarely saw people with carts. Now whenever I go there’s jack crap & tons of people running around the places with carts. Only pickers need carts. If I had a time machine, I’d Miles Dyson all the key figures of the internet, even tho I’d not be able to comment on UA-cam (haha I’d live).
I’ve noticed the trend that people are buying stuff from these stores, eBay, Craigslist, whatever just to resell at higher prices. The fun is gone. I was a crafter trying to reuse to make things people would enjoy. No more. There’s nothing to buy anymore. The bigger picture Is a nightmare. I give up.
The internet ruined most things pleasant in life, and the internet-of-things will ruin what’s left. The worst aspect is the poor who used to depend on thrifts for quality items at good used prices are priced out of them now.
exactly, and now that there is 2,000 reseller videos on you tube of everyone giving away their secrets the game is done.....
The games not done… there’s millions of people and billions of more clothes. Just try a different strategy…are you in there when the store first opens? You gotta set yourself up for success!!! And don’t give up, the reason why we’re getting all these things, is Perseverance because believe me I’ve had a couple bad days.
Wow….How silly, talking to the manager and telling him you can get more! ……..there’s a saying where I come from, “don’t shoot yourself in the foot” 🇬🇧
naw....most places don't care their goal is to move the item fast with good price. I live in Chicago and I am shocked that prices in thrift stores and DePaul thrift are so much higher than 10 years ago with things were priced within under 5.00 and now the inflation is hitting thrift stores which I never even thought of.
One of my favorite Goodwill stores was supposed to close permanently at the end of last year, but it ended up not being forced to close so now they have all new staff because almost everyone quit as soon as they were told that it was closing.
So, did something happen with Goodwill? Why have so many out west closed? I wish they would close here and people would frequent local thrift stores instead..
@@Ephesians5-14 I'm not sure about everywhere else, but I know around here lately their prices have gone insane. I haven't noticed any closing here. There was one that was supposed to close, but for some reason they changed their mind about closing it at the last second. I know some of them in California closed permanently.
It's sad to see thrift stores closing. Many are run by charities to help people with lower incomes, who can't afford new or to shop online. I know that you and others like to make money reselling, but that hurts those in need. I donate to a store that is run by volunteers so the sales go to the charity and people in need are helped.
My Salvation Army here in Michigan has raised prices on clothing. People who buy kids clothing are usually low income. It’s terrible. I shop the sales and the 5 items for 5 dollar days. I am retired on a fixed income. 😤
People like him are driving up the prices. Go to a small town to thrift shop.
In Australia all the charity shops are the same ridiculous prices on items they get for free
At least the Salvation Army will give to the needy. Saint Vincent Depaul does too. Goodwill is overpriced big time.
I'm here in Brantford, Ontario used clothing stores used to be reasonable like a store called: Value Village. Used men's pants at $14.00, meanwhile Walmart has them new at $18.00. So no use buying used! Just want to much for there Junk (Value Village)
BTW, I use to work in this enormous antique store for 6 years and I loved it. The antique dealers told me that the thrift shops caught on and they hired antique dealers to appraise antiques before they went on the sale's floor. Therefore, antiques are selling for maximum prices in places like Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. The dealers were pissed off becuase it made it rough for them to get things for resale. Also, recently I have heard places like Savers are angry that people are buying items from their stores and reselling them on eBay. So what? once someone buys an item or items, that is their business what they do with the items once they buy them from the thrift stores, good grief!! BTW, I feel sorry for those who are poor who go to thrift stores to shop in the first place.
you make some good points,don't these places get so many donations that cover all their expenses to where they wouldn't care what customers do after its sold!
@@t-squared6406 I think they have been getting greedy. They want to squeeze the juice out of the orange as much as possible. Its sad becuase the main purpose for thrift shops such as these, are for poor people to be able to buy things that they usually can't afford.
good point,once they sold it,they shouldn't care,thrift stores are supposed to be deals for people,most people just are happy they got a deal!!
Is it really ethical to buy the c pap mask for such a low price and mark it up so much? Before the hate starts, I'm just posing a question from a disabled point of view. So many people don't have benefits or income to purchase necessary items and are forced to go without. On all the rest I say go for it! You do the work and make the money...it's all good 👍
I agree. people can do what they want to, but am am leaving the medical stuff alone. I also don't bother with electrical items because if the wiring in these item is faulty they could cause a fire. I don't want people coming after me🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Nancy I agree, from what I’ve heard medical equipment is very costly in the US, surely that should have been left for someone with a genuine need for it, not for someone to make money from it…. You do you with the rest of the stuff, but medical equipment that’s just wrong.
It's greed pure and simple. I hate second-hand stores trying to make it as a money making business. The clientele is usually the poor people, so give it a thought shops!!
The only things found in goodwills and thrifts around here are junk, junk and more junk!
@4Freedom4All I have no intention of competing with them. Your last sentence was what I was referring to.
For the first time ever, when the music started to show what we made on those purchases, my heart sank, because it was about to be over. I’m listening and listing, and I end up watching 3 times to make sure I catch every bit of advice.
Haha thanks for watching 🤙
This is my first video of yours I’ve watched, I just moved to a new town with lots of thrift and consignment shops. I love thrifting for myself, but this video has got me motivated to be on the look out for ticket items I could sell. I’m 36, disabled and live on Social Security Disability so making a few bucks would be great! You’ve got a new subscriber! Thanks for the video!
Bought and sold my first bat this week Marucci C4. Paid $3 sold $78
Those Dainese shoes are motorcycle boots. They are top of the line brand in the motorcycle community. Nice find especially for $12
I check out my local thrift store on a regular basis for electronics. Can get 100+ dollar wifi routers for like 3 bucks all day long and probably the best find I've gotten there was a dell pc with a 3rd gen i7 processor, 8gb of ram and a 500gb hard drive for 8 bucks. Also can get 22-24 inch led monitors for like 10 bucks pretty often. It's fun doing stuff like that just to see what you can find. One man's trash and all that.
Just fast forward to the sweet beats and quick flips. That music gets me so fired up I want to streak naked through a large estate sale (yes with my mask on)
Manger watching the channel... Prices are going up boys 💰🚀
Yep
happened in my area as well... multiple stores. Love the youtube reseller crew but, they are ruining thrifting. Becoming aggravating. Items I’ve been finding for years paying pennies, now are 10 + dollars.
Not to mention the pressure of “new” thrifters ...
My full time job for 5+ years, never thought youtube would have such a negative affect to it.
To the moon
Its not a secret,seeing the same people on a daily basis looking at their phones while holding an item.
Yeah the managers at all the thrift stores in my area basically Jack up the prices to above Amazon prices. No where near comp pricing. It makes things tough .
I think alot of it has to do with inflation too. When McD's takes the chicken off the dollar menu look out.
Plus both big platforms Amazon and eBay are huge! Tons of resellers hitting these thrift stores. Basically scouring the stores at 8am getting all the good stuff. Its just competition guys. No matter what.....you guys..gotta rise above it.
Hmm wonder if the manger will start marking things up since he's watching the channel and learning the value of things? Hope not happy shopping
Haha maybe
There are hundreds, if not thousands of reseller channels on youtube. They all document all the stuff they get cheap at Goodwill and make big money from. They many of them, and their viewers complain about how Goodwill is raising their prices. Well, duh. They’re in business to make money, not to help out resellers.
Then u head to another store.....but they won’t sell enough stuff if they price too high.
sadly thrift shops are supposed to be there to help people that don't have a lot of money. But if a person buys something for resale, that helps them have money to come back and buy more shit from the manager. They don't get it. Goodwill has lost it totally in their nonsense. So you just stop shopping goodwill and Central Florida. They're not a retail store. I mean they don't get it.
Why would he do such s stupid thing?
Oh now I understand why I can't get my cpap stuff on eBay anymore. I was forced to deal with the insurance company, and after a full sleep study and 2 doctors orders I have not had the right equipment, mask, or nasal pillow for 8 months. I used to just order up my stuff months in advance and was all set.
A very polite man and a nice family ;
I picked up some tips - I live in Atlanta-
And enjoy the California slant and shipping and brand information. Thanks for your efforts and time invested to.help others.
I just dropped off a bunch of stuff at the Livermore SVDP and and sitting across the street as this came on. 😊
So far I've made 5 sales, 2 of which were this weekend. I'm still out $40, but I'm getting close to breaking even and have learned some stuff to try and flip and what NOT to try and flip. UPDATE: I've now sold 30+ items, if you have any doubts, just know you can do this
Is it really worth it when you break down your profit into an hourly wage? Like is it worth the time?
@@Ephesians5-14 I would say it depends. Depends on the labor you put in and how much items you sell and the money you make with those items. A lot of people sell bigger items like radios and printers for a lot and they make a lot per “hour”.
You always explain things to the fullest and give good advice on items... thanks
I list those C pap machines a bit under the market for a quick sale and I usually get away with the sale before ebay takes it down and of course I don't put C-Pap in the listing, just use Resmed or the brand.
How much did you get for it? I use a CPAP.
@@lindareed6262 My last one was a resmed with very how hours for about $250.
I just looked at your eBay listings. Don’t see any ResMed products.
@@lindareed6262 I don't have any ebay listings, I am not Matt.
@@kentrichardson4131 Sorry about that.
I had an Ebay store for clothing mostly. I'd buy Ralph Lauren shirts for $2 and sell them for $25. Thrift stores starting pulling their brand name stuff.
Òwners of those Ralph shirts are out of work and are selling their own shirts on eBay for profit instead of donating them
Listen i have seriously upgraded my yard sale/thrift store and dollar tree shopping..
I don't resale it is for personal use..but watching your videos helped me with my eagle eye..
Nice videos. I'm from Texas and Pecos is Pay-kose
The way I look at comps is I go to most recent sold, you seem to filter by highest price sold. Not really getting the entire picture as to what sold recently doing it that way
8:45 12 AMAZING ANIMAL ROARING SOUNDS.
I see they even have that amazing Zebra roar at 8 o’clock.
KALUHA in 🍨 ice cream? Sounds like a great combination! You are out in the wild still picking winners! Great job 👏
We have a st Vincent's DePaul here . Everything there is donations. People get everything for free.
It's a charity that helps the poor.
I have one of those ponchos in the same pattern except the color is a Royal Blue and white!!! Been holding on to it for over a year as I was stumped on how to price or even what it was about...but, I KNEW from the thickness of the materials that it should be expensive!!
Hmmm, maybe I will list it in auction and see how she goes!!! So glad that you found that poncho today Matt!!!
I would recommend doing a set price on it. Hope you do well!
Ok!! I will take your advice!! Would suggest that I price in the $145-150 range as you have done??
I found the Holy Grail yesterday. I have been looking for one over a year now--I immediately wanted to text you! 😂. A San Marcus tiger blanket! 👏 yeah! It was pulled out on a new rack at St Vincent de Paul (TX) and a picker looked it over and said it’s not pottery barn and put it back. I grabbed it as he hung it back up.
Wow nice find!
Is this a Latin thing... cause I’ve never heard of them. Maybe a regional thing.. I’m from NY. I’m really digging them... might have to purchase one for the dojo.. they look warm af. Thanks
My Dad had one of those clocks. Most annoying thing ever🤣🤣🤣
Have you considered using a Bluetooth headset with your GoPro ? You could avoid picking up any (copyrighted) background music and still get great voice quality.
Didn’t know that was possible
I often say, what would Matt price this at? Then stick to my guns for better prices..come down if I need to. Just sold a vintage cologne set with one bottle completely empty for $100! Paid 25 cents. WIN
Take a drink every time Matt mispronounces a word
Like you vids never change
All Red Wing have a style number that you can look up, there are different style Pecos but they are all pretty good. :)
Who would spend $20 on an ice cream scoop?
Collectors who like cool things and have the disposable income.
Have you ever bought a bespoke piece?
You always find good stuff. When I go thrifting, I find stuff, but all the high priced stuff is usually priced at about what I could sell it for on ebay. I want to go to different stores, but they always close so early and I can't get to them before they close. Sigh. Maybe in the summer, when my son is not in school (he's homeschooled) I'll have more luck.
Home schooled,perfect.
Take your son into the world and teach him about real money and how things work.
Teach him Rich Dad Poor Dad principles.
Like that huh
Beach chairs can bring big money especially old or branded ones.
Thank you for some excellent advice on shopping at thrift stores for resale. That poncho you found is beautiful.
I am sorry to hear that so many of your Goodwill stores had to close. I live in Lynnwood, WA just North of Seattle & so far we have only had 1 Value Village store that has closed by me. Luckily they have another one fairly close.
We actually have a bin store that has opened less than a mile from me but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
Blessings to you and your family and please stay safe. Beth
Thanks for the tips. The sky was beautiful that day
Regarding the bat..there is a reason people get rid of things.
As for the boots, it not the scuff marks but the fact that the boots are broken in and it makes it easier to wear.
Watching this in October '21. Didn't start watching the channel until maybe May and I've learned tonnes from you and the Mrs. Glad I watched this because I can add more items to my list. Thanks again, sensei!!
That looks like a lot more fun than doing home repairs. I gotta take some time and hit the thrift stores. Thanks for the video, and congrats on the sales!
Great pick up with Red Wing boots I’ve made great profits selling these kind of boots. hello The older ponchos sell for good money. Awesome video thanks for bringing us along.
About 8 years ago I found a pair of Tony Lama boots for 20.00 from a goodwill about 40 miles from where I live . They happened to be my size so I kept them . Not having any knowledge of Tony Lama boots , I found they ran around $ 300.00 , but i still couldn't part with them ❤️ !!!
Another thing people miss are porcelain dolls. Ones in boxes and have a marking on the neck or foot are more valuable and can go for hundreds of dollars
Shouldn't nothing in any goodwill,thrift store,salvation army cost over 10 bucks for stuff the obtained free that's still a 100 percent profit considering everything is donated these stores charging prices like they JcPenny,TJ Max,Nike outlet.
Awesome video. The people that complain about prices going up don't understand how much textile waste there is because We can't even resell all the clothes that we have. I find stuff at the bins like North Face, marmont or other expensive brands because there's literally too many clothes on this planet and not enough people to buy them... Even second hand
Love to know what you really end up selling
As much as I hate to say it when all else fails just type it in google and watch what you find, almost always there is listings currently listed on ebay and solds on Worthpoint but yet the search on their platforms don't come up. Little fishy if you ask me but what can you do. Keep killing it Matt love the content.
Happens to me too. Google seems to find it on eBay and I’m using the same keyword
That last one is called a Gavan and it’s a staple in Mexican house holds.
I found a vintage DUKE K. silk aloha shirt in thrift store in Oahu! Definitely worth it, not selling it, I'm wearing it! looking forward for more treasures.
Cutco are great knives. I have one. Love it
The Fleetwood Mac song “Gypsy “ comes to mind. And then of course Cher had that very popular song “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves “. Try going to school for Cyber Security or some type of STEM . Why pay at all? Let’s just go ahead and dive head first into the dumpster. Here’s another good idea... hang out where the homeless live and steal their tents ⛺️ the first chance you get. Where do you draw the limit dude???
Sometimes unique items sell for good money ... love it
Savers is a huge store and nicely laid out.
Surprised that pancho was so valuable. Nice find.
Oh those Pecos boots are hell to break in but once they break they fit like a dream. Only boot that would hold up in the West Texas Oilfield rigs!
Good find on the red wings
I have made some decent money on Cpap accessories on Ebay.
I like that animal clock! It reminds me of the bird clock the same style my parents have in there house.
Cutco knives are the Best...expensive- but well worth it. You can send your knives back to them to be sharpened ( small fee, I’m sure)- but you can use them forever. Why anyone would give away their Cutco- haven’t a clue!
never thought of ice cream scoopers before i'll have to keep an eye out
That goodwill might not be permanently closed. Some Bay Area goodwills are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays now, well at least in the north bay.
St Vincent stores mark the better items up, but in WA state they also accept reasonable offers on anything been there over a week at the ticketed price.
Just letting you know you misspelled "Kahlua" in your listing.
Thanks
And the common pronunciation I’ve heard is: Kaa - loo - ah, since it sounded like you stumbled a bit over saying it, in the vid.
Our Saint Vincent de Paul is expensive however I did get a pair of beautiful born clogs for $4.49
Those non listed or comp items are the best.. you can set the market price, if it's a popular theme/subject like animal clock it will sell.
I agree. Thanks for watching
Lmao I thought this was funny saying they are high prices and now the manager watch the channel 🤣. Now im thinking he gonna lower the prices
Wow that's a big store the big St. V store near me was closed now they squeeze everything into their smaller locations. Thanks for the info.🕊
I've bought masks and CPAP headgear on the A site. At least here only the machine is prescription, not the other parts.
I found some leather boots at goodwill and found them online for 300 dollar range (new) . I spent about 6$ . They had them priced so low. I wear them though. They weren't bought to resell.
That's crazy that they are closing your Goodwills. We have 2 moving into bigger buildings close by. I now have 5 and a Bins within 30 min of me.
Selling cutco was my first job out of high school lol
I wondered if the CA St. Vincent de Paul had a Loyalty Program??In MI we give the cashier our phone number when we check out. We also have SVDP blue bags where anything that fits is 1/2 off, that is on Tuesdays and Thursdays!! That way if you bought those boots on a 1/2 off day you could save $$ Just thought that I would ask...we enjoy the videos & your beautiful family!1
There is About to be ALL KINDS of ice cream scoop listings on eBay...lmao
Those cheap ice cream scoops are not even close to being worth 20 bucks. A couple bucks for a comparable new one.
Thrift stores don't need to make insane profits. Their customers are low income working class trying to save money clothing their kids. Small kids and teens with a eye for good quality clothing in good condition.
My closest thrift store is terrible, has very little worth buying, let alone good stuff.
good finds and great videos , i love to thrift but here all the stores are over ran with people the parking looks like wallmart on xmas. couple years ago before covid the thrifts stayed full of good items
you misspelled Kahlua in your ice cream scooper listing
Thanks
People don't realize you can put any amount on an item you want but anyone in their right mind isn't going to pay inflated prices for used items...
I have got a lot of stuff in a thrift store.. even camping gear.. we have a good will hear in Arkansas..
I have them redwing boot and they are the best!!! Good video I tried to sell them masks and ebay took them down
Goodwill and everybody is raising prices. It's feast ir famine with Thrift Shop. At least in Central Florida. Sometimes it's something right sometimes not so great. The trick is not to buy something just because you went in there. Sometimes your truly have to just leave and say you did the right thing..
Very true about random rare items that sell high without comps on ebay. Some of our highest coolest sales have been from items in which we couldn't find comps for on ebay. Great video!
What are comps?
@@barbarademay5154 Completed sell/sold items on eBay.
There’s very little at our goodwill or Salvation Army that you will get a good deal, most of the good stuff ends up on there web page or in their bidding case, I even had one of their employees tell me that they short through stuff and pull out the good stuff and post it on their bidding auction page, hey I feel lucky if I find a piece of Tupperware for under five bucks.
Why would anyone buy on eBay or wherever when things are cheap at thrift stores?? Old and used, yuck! What has this world come too. I find it dishonest. I learned something today.
Not everyone can go to thrift store and not all places have thrift store. They also go to eBay to find something in particular. Some look for vintage and others just love shopping online. Lots of people buy used. Its a great way to recycle and save money as well.
If you have ten or fifteen hours a week to shop in thrift stores, go for it. You might actually find ONE good item after hours of looking. Resellers are being paid for their time and expense to shop, clean, repair, list, inventory, pull, pack and ship! Also eBay charges fees for the privilege of selling.
I don’t see why the thrift stores have to charge so much just because resellers shop there. What difference does it make whether I buy it for my own use or if someone buys it to resell. The thrift store prices should stay low. I am not a reseller.
Nice video. I read that a bunch of Goodwill stores in the EB closed down. I'm sure you'll still find picking places though!
Nice pancho!!! Your stuff was really impressive, as always, thanks for your integrity! -Carisa Pizzi
Lol “ this place is notorious for overpricing shoes and boots”…turns around and lists them on eBay for $50 +shipping costs.
