Leave the goodwill for the families that are less fortunate. For the resellers, they need to get a real job.
Hahahahahahah

LIMITED. FIXED. A FIXED AMOUNT. and when you go in and fucking scalp every cute item you take from the poor WHICH IS THE POINT OF THRIFT STORES and make that clothing inaccessible. you have no defense.

@@vadisradnot going to lie the original commenter is right. Resellers are literally the lowest form of life online. I struggle to call you all human. You buy something cheap and I understand making it a little bit more but you all go crazy with prices. You can buy something for $15 mark it up to 20 and you just made a profit. It doesn't have to be 20 30 40 50 dollars more than you paid.
@@vadisrad Imagine not having a valid argument, just replying with a shitty laugh. Dude, no wonder you turned likes off.
I don't understand resellers complaining about higher thrift store prices. Like, girl, you're reselling the items you bought for way, way more than what the thrift store was selling them, expecting someone to buy the secondhand item.
It's very hard to feel bad for resellers.
Its sad that they are rising the prices so much because there is actually people that are not resellers that need to shop thrift stores for their families.
Resellers also support their families sourcing. Not all are top tier sellers.
@@quotidian5077 it's like saying thieves need to support their families. They are actually way better off than the people that would benefit from thrifting
I agree. I can't buy second hand clothes for my kid that cost the same as new.. it's ridiculous. Resellers should stick with garage sales and flea markets. Not the thrift shops
💯 I despise resellers. Do they NEED to clear out EVERYTHING? No. They are selfish, greedy people.
Exactly. That’s why I kind of despise resellers. I mean what the are the providing society?
Resellers take away from the low income families to put clothes on their kids. Clothes used to be 99 cent to 2 bucks. Now clothes are $10 and up. I can't afford things for my 4 year old because resellers take the thrift experience away.
Resellers should stick with garage sales and flea markets instead
Hahah please stop with this bullshit narrative 😂
@@vadisrad calling it the way it is. Sorry the truth hurts
No no no. Just stop 😂😂😂
@@vadisraddefend yourself then lmfao you only say that to absolve yourself of guilt. there isnt an infinite supply of cute vintage clothing and you scalp as much as you can get your grubby fingers on while at the same time contributing to the raised prices of ALL thrift clothing. you understand you contribute to raising the prices of thrift stores and yet call this a "bullshit narrative" 😭😭😭😭 what are you gonna say huh? that you're saving clothes from going to the landfill? 🙄 pfft please ive heard that a hundred times and it sounds more and more ridiculous each time. what's your excuse?
@@atlas8912 that’s dumb to blame resellers for the price gouging instead of recognizing it for what it really is. The thrift stores obv go online & do bogus research on overpriced items to come up with their pricing. If the thrift store could justify the price somehow, plz believe they would charge us all much more than resellers do for all the bs they sell.
Agree 100%! The crazy thing is the stores are now charging $10 for brands you can get for the same price at Walmart 🙄
ughhhhh yessss!
Every store sets their own prices. If you're finding that I guarantee it's an anomaly
@loetzcollector466 it's not. When non brand names are now costing the same as a second hand brand name... resellers caused that.
yeah lol they are delusional
"Be f***ing quiet about where(what) you source." Best advice EVER! Say it louder for the people in the back!
It’s ridiculous to me why they mark stuff up. Every store I go to has so much crap that you can’t even separate the hangers to read labels. They would make way more money if stuff was reasonably priced. Most people who shop there aren’t resellers anyway
they shouldnt even care. People are buying from them that should be the end goal. Now everything sits because prices are outrageous for a target used blouse with stains
@@jesseenixon totally agree
They just blame resellers because it's easy. They throw out so much clothing or ship it to Africa for them to sort through (mostly junk) and try to resell.
@@quotidian5077 definitely
I used to work for Goodwill. If all the stuff we have is crap whose fault is that? 80% of the donations ranged from useless to utterly disrespectful.
Makes me not want to take anything to Goodwill now. I'll find a real charity to donate to.
Our country already has an over-consumption and landfill problem. If goodwill wants to raise prices to prevent a group of people from buying them in hopes that “normal” people will buy them at a high price, that’s on them. Seems like a bad business practice, and I doubt it will work in the long run.
Your right resellers shouldn't tell people were their sourcing I never do let them find their own spot to thrift. Wal*Mart doesn't tell Target where they get their Merchandise and we as resellers should be the same way.
If someone is lying about where they live it's probably for safety, so...maybe don't out them
That's what happens when you put yourself out there they will find out one day based on the streets and all someone will recognize the location and streets
how about just don't say where you live? instead of lying?
@@vadisrad I mean yes, but still.
Prices would be better if politicians of all ilks did what they were supposed to instead of being paid oppressors. Just a thought based on past experiences for most.
When the GWs in my local area started individually pricing merchandise I knew it was a matter of time b4 they went crazy with it meanwhile they have more donations than they could ever process and according to them are paying thousands to dispose of things ppl should have thrown in the trash
Right.
I just started my closet here in Canada. I’m learning this is a lot more involved and time consuming to get seen. I’m not trying to get rich, I literally just want to clean my closet and home out. I have a lot of great stuff and really just want to share it and let it be loved.
I agree with keeping hush on where you source, but Goodwill is a CHARITABLE organization that sells 2nd hand to support community programs, job training, etc.--they are already doing what they do. Just because someone flips what they purchase there is NOT their business. It's like a real estate agency going, "oh you're going to buy this house to fix it up, sell and make a profit? Then we'll have to double our asking price!". It just makes no sense. Stay in your own lane, Goodwill.
Exactly
Exactly.
I only go to thrift stores for myself. I post fun stuff I find on Instagram, but I don't give the location of the store and most of the stuff I feature, I did not buy. I also donate a lot of clothing to thrift stores as well and I would rather see it go to someone that needs it rather than a reseller.
Amen to everything you said ! Love it ! You crack me up !
You’re spot on with the gas prices. I used to dispatch fuel trucks and I also purchased over a million gallons of gas a month for the company and our wholesale customers. One thing is supply and demand and second thing is OPEC. I watched the stock market and the slightest rumor can cause a fluctuation. I dispatched through hurricanes and 9/11. Your advice about people posted where they source is spot on too. I sourced one time in St. Louis Mo. and I couldn’t believe their prices. It was like TJ Max prices, anyway I found a decent name brand pair is shoes and they were like $17 with 50% off after I paid I asked them to take off the anti theft device and they had a puncture mark from the anti theft device, I told her no I want a refund they’re damaged well I kinda went all Karen on her and told her to call the manager, she told me the manager was on break so I saw a worker outside smoking and I marched out there and asked are you the manager and so I explained what happened and she refunded me. Good thing cause I would have left those shoes and opened up a credit card dispute. I think that bullshit. AITAH
Although I agree to keep your sources private, I can’t help but question why Goodwill feels the need to gouge customers for items they receive for free? This sounds more like greed than a reseller problem. If a customer pays what the store is asking for the item, why do they care what the customer does with it? In fact, if they lowered their prices, they would probably sell more. People donate it and benefit from a tax deduction, resellers buy it which makes the store money (hence the community they support money) and the reseller makes money. Win Win!
This is also why I do not advertise or post/talk about uncommon or lesser-known "BOLOS" on social media reseller groups - it is not because I want to hide these items and brands from other resellers, very few of whom in the scheme of things source where I source, but why give GW and other thrifts information??
True.
Lol I actually had to block a local thrift store because they were following me. They already priced items high so I was like nah dont need to help them!
i hope goodwill raises their prices so that you cant make profits, as if ad revenue wasnt enough ☕
that's so kind of you to say
With the amount of clothing waste the US produces....worst in the world...you would think these stores would love resellers. I've seen resellers show the 'store rooms' of these thrift stores and the amount of merchandise is staggering. Keep up the good work.😊😊
Exactly. Consumers we are.
I say this all the time. I don’t understand why people want to share their money pits. It makes NO SENSE!!!
A lot of thrift stores do not like resellers bc 1 how much they brag how much money they are making 2 most resellers here in LA are straight up slobs. They check comps and put their shit anywhere and not where they go.
Who in LA is a slob?
Seriously! This! Why would Goodwill not raise their prices if they find out people would pay more for their stuff! I'm glad I live in an area where the resellers are there, but aren't dumb enough to advertise to the stores what they're doing.
Thrift stores are for profit and they get all their items for free...and they are only hurting their customers
.its that simple
100% agree. Keep this whole thing on the down low
I agree with you
Every reseller needs to stop saying where they get their items.
Just making it harder for the rest of us
The stuff they mark up , never sells. They are wasting their time . My resellers license is registered at Goodwill bins . They expect resellers at the bins .
I want to say you're probably one of the few honest resellers and I can respect that and girl you're smarter than most
Thank you so much 💜
@@vadisrad you're welcome 🙂
If I didn't know they were resellers I'd think it was an mlm. It has that vibe. "No excuses, nose to the grindstone." Legit business model but just doesn't work well for those of us who battle with our mental health. And I saw the same sticker at citgo lol
Ughh I can’t. My honey hole just had a pair of the we the free jeans marked at $30. I can’t handle it.
Seriously It’s not exactly a big secret.Dollar general penny shopping ain’t no secret,Walmart clearance ain’t a secret so..
I don't shop at any of those places hahah
I commented on that post and said that having a fallowing helps them make goals. And even said they deserve good things. The response was, That they don’t make sales from the people who fallow them. That it makes no difference if you have a big social media presence. I call bs! It helps …honestly think they made their followers upset by saying that.
They are so full of shit! 🙄
No, they're savvy marketers for sure, they know what they're doing.
@Heather Clark I can totally see it. This is pure speculation of course though..but I get the mlm vibe..or lds.
Also, not only are they raising the prices. They also, especially goodwill doing the e-commerce. So they are taking a lot of the better stuff. They actually have people that just got hired to do thay all day. At least in Georgia and Texas.
Yep! I’m in Texas and now all the good stuff is going to e-commerce. I was looking at a pair of shoes the other day and an employee almost ripped them out of my hands saying they needed to go to e-commerce. I refuse to buy stuff on e-commerce. Shipping is crazy expensive!
@@teresawhite9413 how rude of the employee.
I use to source a lot at Walmart and all these idiots making videos on the hidden clearance made Walmart up their game and now its really hard to find anything.
I want to die😂 The next video for me today was Nicole and her Goodwill bins haul.
I look at it as I'm not a reseller when I go into thrift stores I look at its as I'm a buyer. If they select to raise the prices then they lose my business. I have a local thrift store that raised the prices and made comments everytime I showed up I talked to the store manager about her remarks but it continued and I averaged spending $500 @ month at this location I currently have not been back in 3 months I have 11 other business I source at.
🤣🤣🤣 I found that same sticker on a gas pump and peeled it off while I was filling my tank.
Prices are cra cra at the Goodwill now : (
["ve been saying this for years dumpster diving also
I’ve always found it odd and slightly annoying that so many people on social media would tag the thrift store. Not just once but twice, on the caption and then the pic. I assumed it’s for exposure if they’re tagging them in the actual pic since it can show up in the companies IG page of tagged photos. Either way it makes no sense to me. If you’re gonna boast about the low price and what you can flip it for why tag the place who sold it to you for cheap. No one does that if they source off poshmark or online arbitrage. It’s like begging for the stores attention after so many times and they then turn around and say it doesn’t affect anything and it’s crazy to think places would raise prices. I will say where I live in Central FL the two main GW thrifts I frequent have very nice employees and I remember back when they raised their prices and it has nothing to do with resellers. I was talking with a few of the managers and I didn’t even ask, they brought up how crappy it is they’re being forced to up prices for our region (goodwills work in regions and that’s why pricing structure and others factors can drastically differ all over the country) the main manager had openly said her higher ups and corporate were starting to roll out price increases because of inflation last year. Because of wage increases, and a main part due to general increases of everyday costs of supplies to run & maintain a brick and mortar store (supply chain products everything you could think that gets purchased to put into stores from employee materials to receipt tape etc) our region hadn’t done any price increases for almost 6 years. Other than certain outliers such as an obvious “premium” brand. They straight up said the main factor for why the jump in pricing happened mid 2021 was economically having inflation soar through the roof in all categories. Obviously it’s not the only reason and yes I think in a lot of places resellers are a part of it, but it depends on the thrift stores, their corporate structure and mainly how their region structures/functions and who is in charge over particular locations. Also who is doing the pricing day by day. I notice such drastic differences in prices & the one guys said yeah because a lot of employees could care less about marking up to the max and will just price at the bare min of what the increases are. So by that he means the new cost of women’s pants, it used to be $4.19 and now is $9.99 as the minimum but could go as high as someone wanted to price them at so occasionally I’ll see a bunch priced at $11.99-$15.99 but for the most part they’re all typically $9.99 and it’s because (his words not mine) most of their employees in that store don’t care about trying to jack the price up any higher based on brand and just want to price at the set minimum to quickly move onto the next item. They all think it’s stupid too because now so much more sits until it’s color reaches the half off day because the avg person shopping their doesn’t want to pay the prices increases on some of this stuff and can get it at Ross new for a few bucks more. The benefit to resellers is we take hidden gems and make them available to millions of possible customers online who are searching for something specific that they otherwise wouldn’t find on their own. Idk the whole thing is crappy all around. I’ve had to adjust my mindset in the last 8-10 months to be okay leaving so many good things behind because the time to profit ratio just isn’t worth it with certain things anymore. It is what it is and will always continue to fluctuate as that’s how economies and cost of goods works 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah I think it’s inflation because everything is going up.. not just in goodwill.. but in grocery stores, clothing stores.. gas .. everything went up about around the same time.. I agree with you..
@@nicopico5537 yeah, don’t get me wrong, I do know there’s places where resellers were part of the catalyst for upping things but it’s definitely a mix of economic impact & show boating resellers depending on locations lol
Dollar tree is a prime example.
Goodwill and Salvatiom Army in my area gouge the people that can least afford it. They have marked up cheap stuff they got for free. I discovered it's cheaper and better for my mental health to go to a decent store and shop the sales. Better yet, just use what I already have. 🌴
I am so happy you made this video and addressed my thinking for month. I have been thinking about this why does this reseller making this stupid youtube videos and tell the whole world where they bought it how much they paid for it and try to sell it for a high price. Etc. same with the thrift stores they raising their prices and catched up with resellers !
Where I'm from they have raised the prices because of resellers
They make those "finds videos" because when the sales are slow they make money from UA-cam but they make a Pikachu face when they raise the prices and not only thrift stores but other stores like Burlington,tjmaxx and Ross
I am so…..glad someone made this video because I have been thinking this for years. Why would someone make a video telling everyone where they went shopping ( Especially a Thrift Store) When most of these nonprofit organizations are raising money for different benefits not all but some. Then TAG the location and then tell your viewers hey I bought this for $2 but go buy it from me on Poshmark or eBay for $120 I can’t stop laughing. That is the most ignorant thing you can do but Common Sense isn’t so Common
I am new to reselling and I just stumbled on your channel. Thanks for your content. I hear what you're saying. I am hoping that the thrift stores will realize that by raising their prices so high they will not be able to turn over their inventory. Resellers are their best customers.
Exactly. You are not b the intended demographic. The fact you even admit your thier best customers proves you guys buy everything.
Meh. Thrift stores will learn their lesson eventually. Every one I go to is bursting at the seams with stuff.
Ok so can you explain inflation without talking 💩 and explain how our president no matter which one it is has nothing to do with it? I’d like to hear your honest explanation. I’m very interested in a conversation because I don’t see how anyone can say the President has nothing to do with inflation!
nope. not having political convos on my channel.
@@vadisrad You brought it up or I wouldn’t have but not surprising 😉
I’m glad you’re not surprised that I don’t want to engage in political nonsense. Have a great day! 😁
LOL you crack me up and I love it : )
Yeah I’ve caught on ti that too. I’m just gonna say thrift or honey hole. I need to watch whoever you are talking about. They sound super nice. Lol.
I agree people should stop bragging about were they source but that’s human nature. People have to brag I guess.
One of my Goodwills has totally jacked prices on Shoes. Some of them are still there 2 months later…I forsee that the jacked prices may lead to higher quality in the bins?? Seriously $24 for shoes at Goodwill??? And this group to GW never ever has sales.
100%! I've actually blocked my local thrifts from my IG 😅
ohhh haha good idea!
That's why I don't tag!! That's dumb an for this very reason!!
It’s funny. I remember a time that to suggest to resellers to stop tagging thrift stores in their posts would be enough to have people cussing you out and talking about your momma in the comments. It never made sense to me to tell businesses that you’re sourcing their inventory and making 10 times the money on it. Why would you do that? You have people on posh that have complained about people buying their items and flipping for more money. 😆🤷🏾♀️
yeah they are so condescending
As an ex Goodwill employee who has talked to many stores in my district, I'm sorry but the main people Goodwill is trying to help are the truly poor and needy. Not the people trying to set up a side business.
Yes, we get it for free. But you don't understand that for every one good item, we're sorting through 20 wet pairs of jeans, a piano with three legs, 4 broken furniture sets, bags of literal trash we have to process and a baby potty filled with baby poop. That last one is not just a dramatic flair..
When I work there we paid in the neighborhood of $36,000 a month just to dispose of the useless crap you guys donate
they arent catering to the needy anymore, its about profit for goodwill too now just like resellers
Prices are outrageous… even small town goodwill’s are charging exorbitant prices. $20 for a pair of Silver jeans?? No thanks. A lot of the overpriced stuff ends up at the bins, though, so….
I’ve been saying this for years. Just like BOLO videos. You drive down the price because people flood the market 🧐
I learned where to shop thanks to all the resellers posting, yet I always thought, why would you say where your gold mine is at 🤷🏻♀️
The couple you're referring to might not want to exactly tell where they live for security reasons, the way we use poboxes or other addresses in our return labels... I agree with you, their content got boring after a while because of how condescending they became with their toxic positivity... I learned how to clean shoes with them though...
oh yeah I get not wanting people to know where you live for safety reasons. but my logic is just DON'T say where you live. instead of lying about the city, you know?
I came to you channel to see what your thoughts are about Nicole State posting on YT again.....but now I"m wondering who this Ryan and Lynsdsey are. I feel like I get my resller tea from you, lol. keep it coming!
So you said what’s his name and Linz’s is that Ralliroots?
Nope not Ralliroots! RNZY
@@vadisrad never watched him but he looks like a real Weinberg… lol
my thoughts about this are: that thrift stores should not be caring who is in their stores or who is buying their merchandise. I agree whole heartedly that people are becoming too open even in the thrift stores people are yelling in groups about reselling . In my head im like shut up. I think the reason that these youtubers are sharing everything and anything is because they get enough likes to get paid by youtube by views on these and it makes of for their loss of business and yet it really hurts us that dont care to make youtube videos. Plus now they have paid thank yous on top of that which helps them buy more expensive items. I really hate that people in thrift stores just dont keep their mouthes shut and I wish everyone would just thrift and mind their business.
You are 100% correct. I went to Goodwill yesterday and the prices were outrageous and they seemed to be twice as much as the week before. Thanks Biden...JK.
wow ayou tube reseller that actaully admits that you tube resellers are the reason prices are goin up got be the frist time ever you got my sub
The only time I tag a store is if it's privately owned and I have more of a business relationship with the owner. A great example is the Uptown Cheapskate in my area. The owner is awesome and loves that I am a reseller. He appreciates that I promote his store, has invited me to film, etc. I am confident he will not increase prices because of me because he appreciates when I buy high volume. Otherwise, I would never tag a Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. Not a great idea at all. I fully agree and this very sound advice to share with the community!
I have been thinking exactly this. You Tubers are definitely providing Goodwill with information that is only hurting resellers. Sucks.
It’s sooo annoying. Especially the bigger channels and big Instagram accounts. Like really come on! Don’t tag them!!!
Resellers are some dumb mofos giving away the places that make them money
haha AGREED
You crack me up with the whole Biden thing!
I don't share my honey holes. I even have a friend that I've known since we were 6 years old that resales in another state. And, I wouldn't even tell her the name of my two amazing thrift stores when she asked.
For real, I’ve been shopping at goodwill since 2011 and in my area it’s like mall prices, like no! Plus they grab all the decent items and put them upfront as ‘handpicked’- meaning no color discount. It’s impossible to make a profit from there anymore
What's the difference people post where they shop,resellers should stop go on UA-cam and talk about it. Stop doing !it,every thrift store raised prices because you people can't keep your s..t to yourself
Not only that, RNZY deleted Breezy's comments. They don't like criticism and if you do criticize that give pushback like they know more. They are not really listening.
I never tag thrift stores. I used to post videos of the my thrift store locations but I don't anymore.
I’d never heard of them, just went to their page. They have cult or mlm energy. He seems creepy.
Agree 100%. The internet will continue to bitch that resellers should “share” their sources. No. Stfu. Keep quiet and do your thing.
Amen!
Hey can you please talk about Tax info for resellers? I’m not asking for you to talk about your tax info but I know allot of resellers are gonna be in a big mess since they are now asking for people to include their sales in their taxes this year.
What?? So Mercari reports your earnings which include sales tax and shipping but breaks it down. Shipping and taxes would be deducted to give your adjusted gross??
Your point in this video is definitely on point.
Ps. Biden did ruin the economy lol both are true
Ur the problem sorry its the same as using a food bank you only go there if you cant afford items ,re sellers go pick up garbage if you want to ssve items from the trash
umm NO. absolutely NOT the same as a food bank!
Resellers are the worst
