    I’ve never seen a thrift store with so many dvd/vhs players. Most of stores near me have fairly bare shelves for some reason.

    The Polaroid would be $30, Ugg shoes would be $19.99, no ski goggles in Kansas, toners are pricey, Starbucks mugs are $5.99 and up, in Kansas. You get the idea.

    You have much better thrift stores than around here. Goodwill and St Vinnys weed out all of the valuable items and sell them online, the items left over are for us. The leftover stuff is also overpriced.

      oh no trust me I work for goodwill we have the same thing but they miss a lot of things. We only grab electronics, and jewelry. if the store is pricing high its due to the store struggling with sales. we are in this current situation.

      I don't blame those stores for weeding out the "good" stuff, because they don't exist simply to allow pickers to make a living. Too many people were buying items for $5 and selling them for $500. They didn't split the $495 profit with the thrift store.

    Watch for Brahmin women's wallets and purses. Typically they are a crocodile print, big money and the Goodwills haven't figured out they are a high end brand yet. I find a lot of them priced at $4-6 and usually sell them between $100-250 depending on model and shape.

    The Goodwill and ARC thrift store near me do not have the same prices. They look up everything on ebay and price it. I go several days a week to find stuff and the ONLY time I find something that I can flip for a decent profit is because the store missed it. Maybe I'll have to move to Utah.

    My very first sale was a lug bag! I had actually left the thrift store but turned around and WENT BACK. I just had a feeling it would hit. I already had some listings but THIS one got me hooked. I probably only broke even due to the gas and mileage haha but I needed a hit to keep going. I need to learn about remote controls. There are so many different types and brands. My Salvation Army prices leather wallets over $20 and puts them in a case. :-(

    Local Goodwill's and other thrifts lowest price is $2.99 even for items that were sold in a dollar store. Only thing the GW offers is use of the cart to the car outside. Other thrifts barricade so you can't remove the carts no matter how heavy items are. Amazing you have such low prices.

      I think it all depends on what section you are looking for. In my local area there are 2 (worthy) in which shoes section restocks at noon and around 5 pm, because that’s the time when they are about to leave, both close at 9 pm.. it’s different on weekends..
      I really encourage you to speak with people while looking at the items, sometimes they let you know if there is something nice on the shelves 👍🏻
