About Me: I have been married for 20 years. I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful children. I enjoy going to garage sales and thrift stores and flipping my finds on eBay, Amazon and Etsy. I also have an antique booth.
DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored video. Everything shown was purchased with my own money and all opinions are my own. Links may contain affiliate/referrals.
I hope you appreciate what an extraordinary Goodwill Store you have. Mine has prices which are marginally less than retail.
smart451cab agree. Goodwills in my area are close to retail.
Mine to my doesn't have ties scarves hats belt bras books 2.99 all t shirts 5.49
I found an excellent condition Burberry signature belt for $7 and sold it for $200!
Wow, that is amazing! Congratulations 🎉
Awesome sauce!!!
MyChilepepper Congratulations 😍
MyChilepepper I found a Gold ring in a lady’s purse at goodwill and sold it for $300 🙏
Wow, I haven't found a Goodwill with those kind of prices for many years. You're lucky.
Nice all goodies... I am a scarve and belt hoarder... But those are good items. I have really started to focus on larger new in BOX items. Just in the last 3 days... AT&T modem, brand new $75.00, Revo hairstyle - international at $99.00, Car Bra- BMW- $65.00, and a new in the box profressional paint brush cleaner. $65.00. I love new in box. Scope your stores some have specialty areas that other's don't.
+tisha toone Hey Tisha! Thanks so much for watching. That is a really good idea, thanks so much for sharing :-)

Hey Tonya where i live someone found at Goodwill a painting that was found later to be worth $60,000 at auction. It came from a home of a women who passed away . I can’t recall the name of the artist. Love You . Take Care. ✨
Wow, that's amazing. Thanks for watching 😀
For $60k, you'd BETTER recall the name of the artist!
And I'm sure the buyer was honest and cut Goodwill in on a portion of the proceeds. The money is for the homeless and handicapped, of course.
The homeless and handicapped need to WORK more. That would solve all their income and financial problems. WORK is, after all, helping your neighbors and community, too, because WORK is something that these people need done for them and they are willing to pay for.
Anyone who is homeless should definitely be WORKING 7 days a week (like I have done) and at least 100 hours a week (like I have done). If they will, they won't be homeless for very long.
my top 12 items to look for too, just wanted to add.. wallets or coin purses-at my goodwill they're $1.00 and I resale those real good, depending on brand, and they usually put those in a corner where nobody likes to search, I've found a couple of coach, juicy couture. Also, baskets.. I pay anywhere from 25¢-$2.00,i got a couple of Longaberg, which I flipped for $20
+Cristina Figueroa Great ideas Cristina 💰💰💰😊
Normally those kind of items are in a locked cabinet or their sold online at the GoodWill.com and sold to the highest bidder.
Your list is terrific. I used to be really into eBay. Their shipping policies have changes since I bought and sold. Everything on your list is easy and cheap to ship which is something to consider.
Depends on the area..my Goodwill is very high priced..I can actually get many items at (ugh) Walmart brand new for cheaper. Especially clothes. The only time you can get anything really cheap is when it's stuff that's been sitting around for a long time and it's on a big mark down just to get rid of it. As far as nice vintage linens..not a chance. People up here know how valuable they can be and will sell them through consignment or online. Second hand stores aren't very cheap in my neck of the woods!
Thanks for sharing and watching my video 😄
I thought that same way, until I was looking for a good pair of Levi's at Goodwill, and thought their $10 price tag was too high, until i checked Wal Mart and they are priced $20 new there.
Cynthia Esquibel regular Goodwill's in the north are horribly overpriced! The GCF locations in the south are more boring no music or bathrooms but waay cheaper and we have doller clothes bins😜
I do go to GW on senior citizen day, big savings.
I really need to get out of my comfort zone and start looking/flipping clothes/hats/ties etc. I had no idea ties were such great resellers! I do look for hats and some old school hoodies. especially sport related. Thanks for the awesome tips T.
I love her right to the point and very helpful thank you!
The thing is with clothes they will put a black line through the tag so that people know it was donated. I love that rose cup! I happen to be a rose freak and I have some Royal Doulton Old Country roses that I purchased when I lived in the UK. I'm not a flower person but roses yep!
You are very clever, creative and resourceful.
I live in CT & we have 2 different type Goodwill stores. One in my town is really great have color of week. The other type Goodwill has color of week but on Sunday that previous color of week for clothing & accessories $ 2.00
I am retired would love to sup my income but have no idea to do what you do!
I have outrageous wardrobe most items many new 2.00 Have new leather costs for even 2.00
My treasure hunts never fail. Loved your vid!
Thank you so much Cockatoosmom 😀 I wish you much success in selling online. You can do it. Just start snapping some pictures and you'll be on your way in no time at all 😘
cockatoosmom If you go to eBay, they have videos that tell you the steps you need to take to start selling....you Can do it!!!
And those vids are free!
cockatoosmom - if you have a great source like that, that's half the battle won.
Both types of goodwills are awesome!
I swear the only good thing about my state is they do have great goodwills
Love the 2.00 Sunday’s On clothing & shoes scarfs belts etc
I live in CT too and the Goodwills are getting to be expensive...but I have to go on a Sunday
Thank you for all the helpful information!
Your Awesome! Right now I'm selling only on Offerup. But the thing I love about your list is that they are mostly items that are easy to ship. Thank you
+Christy Hutson Well thank you very much ;-) I keep hearing about Offerup. I really need to look into it. I am so happy that you enjoyed the list. I will try to make more video's like this to bring you some good ideas. Thanks so much for stopping by and watching :-)
Christy Hutson I
Thank you for the help! I am going to use this Good Will flip method to help buy my first truck! cant wait to see how this turns out.
Great tips! Thank you!
Whenever I buy a plushie at the thrift store- my dog has it torn apart before I even get home- hahaha. He gets so excited.... barking and growling and tearing up the bag it's in.
Loved it! I was waiting for you to add belts. So many people miss these entirely.
+Lauren Caddo Thanks Lauren ;-)
The Goodwills in Arizona don't sell jewelry anylonger. The prices are higher here also. Not many items for 99 cents here. I've seen dollar store items marked $2.00 and higher.
I am just getting into selling stuff online. I started with a bunch of my own stuff I didn’t need or want anymore and have made $50 so far but I had the thought to save $50 to $100 out of my upcoming paycheck and visit some of the local thrift stores for stuff to sell. I knew about nice clothes to resell but your post really gave me a lot more to be on the lookout for. I was also thinking maybe fancy clothes like the prom/wedding bridesmaid dresses you can sometimes find for cheap at thrift stores; they might be good to resell especially during the months right before the high schools’ big dances. I’ve also heard that vintage bunt cake tins are a good item to look for to resell, too, and picture frames. I can’t wait to actually get started with my new business venture. Your post was a lot of help, thank you!
Creepypasta & Squirrels-Ami E. Bowen - hazel hearts vintage on ig does well on prom dresses. 4k last year. Start now!
I always grab all of the old phone cords (RJ11). Those things fly off the shelf! I can't keep enough of them in stock. The DSL adapters too. Always grab them when you see em.
Thanks for sharing Adam, great tip 😊
Phone cords? Really? Wow. Who knew?
Phone cords ? Do you mean phone chargers?
Adam Kendall you’re right most of the stores don’t even sell them anymore so if some old timers cell cord stops working they will look for it online and buy it
I do great in Oregon with Starbucks mugs and their cups
I bought a antique book for 2.5. In it's condition at least 50. Limited edition printed in 1920. With art nouveau drawings. Keeping it for now.
I am in the UK, and the market for used items is very different. Car Boots, , yes, charity shops yes, garage sales once a year if you are lucky we do have jumble sales, you would probably call table top sales. So places to buy and sell direct can be different, but wherever it is the same routine, take time check, turn items over, and don't get excited in front of the vendor. I happen to like electrical items and am happy for things that I am told do not work - they mostly do when I check them over. I aim to flip things so my customers are paying in bank notes/dollar bills. There is a lot to be made and fun to be had flipping things. I always get a kick out of things that would have been bought for a $1,000 and sold by the vendor for $10 or even $1. Hardly anywhere is open now post Covid, though we have been allowed to have sales for over a month now. There must be a lot of people who have cleaned out their homes and now have piles of material to move on.
Keep Safe and Keep well.
Solid silver belt buckle????? Wow!!!
Great vid just got right down to business! Much appreciated thank you!
Thanks good list of items.Will keep my eyes open for some of these.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 😄
Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful Holiday Season!
+apurplelily1 Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a beautiful holiday season too :-)
Great video! I once bought a 2 part Horse Training dvd kit from goodwill bin for 4$ i sold it in less than a week on EBay for 165 bucks! Best margin i profited!
Wow, impressive flip 🤗🤗🤗
Great list of items! I need to learn more about scarves and belts!!
+SeeAnnSave Thanks Ann :-)
Nice, thank you!
Thanks for sharing this...it's so helpful to have a little info to get started!
+Vicki Shope You are so welcome. Best of luck to you :-)
So glad I found this. I want to retire but have to keep working. Need to work from home. Now I’m excited about possibilities. Thank you!!
Awesome, thank you for watching. I am glad I could help you 😘
I like the suggestions and they are easy to store in your inventory
+Nelli KARPINSKI Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting :-)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ! Very cool of you.
What a good idea! Thanks for these tips.
Thanks for watching Marty 🤗
Thank you! Loved your video and the items you shared.
Thank you so much 😊
Great to know about some of those items. I never look at scarfs but will start. I have had some belts but they don't sell as fast for me but I do look for them. I also have looked for signed picture frames. They can bring pretty good money as well. Thanks again.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for the tips.
+Teresa B You're welcome :) Thanks for watching :-)
My sis loves thrift stores and she always gets some cool finds❤️
Awesome 🤗
Good info....thankyou
Shopping takes time
Thanks for information
Great video! Lots of wonderful ideas! Thanks so much for posting...now if I could just find a Goodwill store that wasn't so crazy expensive! LOL
Great Video!! Thanks for all your help!
Thanks Bev ;-)
used bras sell on poshmark too
Loved this video, it was very helpful!
Thank you 💖
interesting. Thank you!
Polaroid cameras. Creamcity Cameras buy them at 25-35 per camera tested or untested (tested get like 60+). Antique flip clocks. I sold one for $55. Puzzles in the original plastic for Amazon.
+Jacob Woodring Hey Jacob! Thanks for stopping by and subscribing :-) Thanks for letting me know about the camera's. I am going to look into that and will be on the lookout for antique flip clocks. I always send in puzzles brand new sealed to Amazon if the money is right :-)
Jacob Woodring I keep all my old cameras from old Polaroid, to Nikon, and Kodak. I feel like someday they'll be worth something.
My daughter & I occasionally shop at Goodwill and find AMAZING DEALS! I know they claim to be a charity and barely qualify, and their CEO makes an obseen amount of money from donated goods. I look at them like any other store, that sells goods for a profit, not a charity.
My girl found several dresses as low as $3.99 for formal & other school dances, band concerts, weddings and even a $15 prom dress! She found a like new Wilson's leather dress jacket for $15. Two years ago, she outgrew all her pants before the new school year and money was tight from medical bills; she found 7 pairs of NWT or like new pants, several tops, a sweater, a pair of dress shoes, and a NWT brand name body shaper, and a few other items, ALL for under $100. I was relieved and grateful, and she was proud of finding so many deals herself, a great life skill. I should shop there more often, it sure beats driving around to numerous garage sales, and Goodwill has changing rooms and is air conditioned.
thanks for the advice :)
Love you as always
Thanks for sharing!
Love royal Albert new country roses.. lucky find.
Great Tips!!! Thank You!
Thanks for watching 🤗
I recently went to an estate sale and they sold me a definitely authentic Gucci Ophelia clutch wallet for $35. It was several days into the sale. I can't believe no one wanted it. I am seeing them on luxury resale for $280 to $320.
I love the Ophelia handbags 💖
I live in Phoenix and have TONS of goodwills to shop at. And get this, every other week EVERYTHING (except new items) are HALF OFF! And throughout the week they have colored tag sales.
Wow, that is awesome! It is to my understanding that Goodwill's are ran regionally....therefore the management of sales will be different from state to state. Thanks for sharing...sounds like you got a good thing going for you 😊PS) I have heard some of the best GW's are in Arizona.
I bought a Napolian plaster large head for $5.99 same head asking on 1stdibs $1500.00. A brass cat $9.00 same on 1stdibs asking $1200.00 waiting to see if they sale on 1stdibs.
You have good advice for flipping for immediate cash mine will take longer if I decide to sale.
thank you great ideas.
Great video...good to know
great info, thanks for sharing
+phoenixpicker janet Thanks for stopping by Janet :-)
The clothes, and sometimes linen where I live here in northern California are more expensive at thrifts, and I don't have much experience with the brands. I do however know that there is good profit to make from clothing, especially the vintage stuff. Good information.
True 😉 I have many friends who make a killing selling pre-owned clothing. Thanks for watching 😊😊😊
Love your tips
Thanks Dora 🤗
Coffee mugs....pfffft. I fell for that and have about 35 listed and they RARELY sell, even when discounted 30 percent. You might be able to unload some in demand Starbucks, but other than that the inventory is long tail and sits.
Vera Carson - I used to sell a lot of mugs. It's my 1st stop at gw. But mugs aren't selling as well or for as much anymore for me. Shipping is about $9 and I charge for shipping. I keep all the Starbucks for my cupboard.
Vera Carson 😅well said.
amber petals i have lots of cute mugs and some pretty ones too that are from makers like Pier 1, 222 Fifth, Papel, Pfaltzgraff and more. They are just not quick sellers or a bread and butter product. Maybe once upon a time though.
IKid UNot
Right now in the United States people have eBay flooded with plenty of mugs ties name it they have it, it's very difficult and the competition is very heavy unless you have something very exceptional. It's like a glorified yard sale on eBay that's why I stopped selling on eBay. However I do occasionally purchase from eBay for my personal use.
I eventually creamed out a couple for my use and re-gifted my old stock to the local discovery shop, ALWAYS SHOP the local charity shops first before you hit goodwill, Our salvation army is not close but the only one to actually do pick ups if you have enough, Good will does NOT do pick ups and will pass along anything which is most of what gets donated, to other resources or tosses it. Every hit the garbage bin in back of a goodwill? eye opening
wow this is so helpful, thank you so much!!
You’re welcome 🤗
Our local Goodwills don't even put jewelry out. All jewelry goes to their online auction site. And they go through most of their books and sell the good ones on Amazon themselves.
You rock! I've seen so many similar videos but somehow you crammed actual helpful information into a short and sweet video. Nice! Subscribed and rang your bell.. lol. :)
Awe, you are awesome 😘thank you 🤗
Thanks for sharing
My favorite thing to sell is books too.
Such great ideas! Thanks
Thanks for watching 😊
Joy you did great on your outing. You got some really nice things for sure.
Thanks sooo very much!
I worked for Goodwill at one time, and you can get some pretty decent stuff there
I agree, thanks for watching 😄
Goodwill buys Target unsold clearance items and returns for pennies on the dollar and sells them for more than they were marked at the store.
Thanks for the video, i enjoyed it. But i have to say. some of the people who comment are so freaking negative i dont know how they get through the day?! my goodness people its an informative video, if you dont like it, move along.....save your negativity for your family at Thanksgiving (lol)
Thank you so much for your support Izzi 😘
i liked this video. But just because someone did not agree with the info in the video does not mean they are being negative. I want to hear everyone's opinion then i will make my own decisions. I don't want them to just "move on", i want to hear all sides.
dan ricci, where i come from, calling someone "GREEDY" or a "RIP OFF" or "DISHONEST" is negative.
No one said anything negative about her ideas or her video , only about goodwill and if you don't like it , move along and don't read the comments . Who are you ? The comment police ?
cathylynne22 another person who doesnt think words like GREEDY RIP OFF and DISHONEST are not negative.....what are you the opposite definition police? you obviously did not read the comments. read the comments before going off half cocked. not to mention how silly you appear, by policing MY comment then asking if im the comment police. good god your ignorance is truly blinding.
Great information!! Liked and subscribed :)
Hey people everything that's in the good will some of it is new coming from store that you shop at used bras if they are good and I would by them I been shopping at the good will for 50 years
Thanks for the grweat ideas!
kris pereira You’re so welcome. Thank you for watching 🥰
@@ThriftyTreasures y/w. I usually type a little better than that. lol
For those worries about head lice, bedbugs, and other unwanted guests - one quick tip: Put the item in a bag and then into the freezer for a couple hours. Any hidden undesirables will freeze to death.
Here's where you can get GOOD stuff in good shape to "flip" online: You should try the RECYLCE BINS OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE AREA NEAR WHERE YOU LIVE. Please don't trespass on their property.(P.S. never take any furniture put out near the recycle bins unless you found it in an EXPENSIVE neighbourhood where they don't likely have bedbugs.Furniture put out near the recycle bins in poor neighbourhoods often have bedbugs).
Great tips! Thanks for sharing with me 😊
That's true, Scout the rich people's neighbor hoods on trash day, you'll be surprised what is thrown out and once it's by the curb it's considered FREE to whomever wants it.
I've thought about this just never took it to another level but I like the idea so I may have to
just put this into my next plan of action on making some extra $ for me on the side thank you.
New Sub. Thank you for the informative video. I never thought of flipping those items.
Great video!
Thank you 😀
Great job, and thanks for the tips! Just got back into Ebay, and cant do the lifting, so doing small stuff!Thanks, Rick / Arizona
Love your show!
Thanks for the tips. I am partial to books myself. My challenge is to get them out of the house before someone wants to read them. lol
Oh I forgot to say; I’m pausing your video so I can write down every item that you list so I can be on the lookout on my next thrift store visit! :)
Awesome! Best of luck on your reselling adventures 😘
Best flip in books I did was a Boris Pasternak first English edition of Doctor Zhivago, paid 30 cents for it and sold it for $150.00
J L Sky Media can you give me some advice on books which to look for and what not?
text books that students are required to purchase for a class. You can walk through a goodwill/thrift shop with an amazon scanner/app in your hand and see if you've found anything worthwhile.@@aranaspider3527
Love your hair!
thank you.
Good job, you are a lucky shopper.
I have good luck at GOODWILL- enjoy that store, great potentials.
Thanks Beth 😊
I worked for Goodwill as a social worker case manager for their group homes. There was a couple who had been homeless and it just got in an apartment and needed a bed. They asked the woman if she could take $10 off the price and you would have thought they asked for half off a mink coat! I just happened to be in the store browsing and she was such a bitch that I reported her and I didn't see her again. They are there to help people as well as make money and that couple needed a bed!
Try the 99 cent Goodwill store. You can buy things there and sell them in the yard sale and make money sometimes. I bought a Canon EOS Rebel 10.1 megapixel digital camera worth over a hundred bucks, for $0.99. That is not just a one-time find. I almost always leave the store with one item that's worth twice what I paid for all the items.
Nice! I have never heard of a 99 cent Goodwill store but it sounds amazing 😀
Thrifty Treasures ..... I like to tinker with stuff myself. I bought a 1980 something printer one day. I thought it would make a cool case for something. I have a local thrift store that just gives me electronic stuff. After stopping there and the 99 cent store the other day I came home with, 10 computer monitors, a vintage stereo, two printers, a whole lot of cables, a Dell laptop bag, a DVD VCR combo, and a box of Christmas cards. I spent fifteen bucks that day.
we have one in nashville area
Beverly Ludovissy .... Yes in Berryhill area. I go to the one in Hendersonville because it's a little bit closer. Been making plans to check out the one in Nashville. I know exactly where that one's at. The one in Hendersonville has been a hit-and-miss proposition lately. I did get a 99 cent 19 inch flat screen TV the other day that actually works.
Last week I was in GW and they brought out the cart with items well ppl just swarm to them, well I got there at 9am when they opened & got this great deal on some headphones for $2.99 with the case & 2 different plugs, I tried it out on my iPhone 6 and it worked perfect, Looked it up online when I got home & new price was selling at $99.00 the reason I bought it is my ole Bose headphone I use on my Mac laptop the ear pads are getting really bad and i bought those nEW a few years back for $200.00 I'm trying to find replacement pads for the Bose headphones, love them & I just hate to trash them because of the ear pads.
Good morning Tonya, I have been binge watching your videos today. Have a great one!
Good morning 😀 Thank you 🥰 You too ✌🏻
I shop at the local Goodwill outlet. So much per pound except books and furniture. Books are bought by re sellers and it is a fight to get to them when they roll out a new table. Furniture can go amazing low prices.
Where I live shirts are $4.99. Every other weekend on sale 50% off. Never 99 cent.
i’m honestly just scrolling through youtube looking for something to do tomorrow
Thanks. Pics I can do no problem. The other part I will need to work on. Thanks
Our goodwills don’t have jewelry, they sell it online, and anything worth selling online they sell online, there still some good clothes, but nothing that would do well online, I buy during the .90cent sells, and have made some profit that way, the best thing to flip here is formal dresses, they sell for $5, and they can sell quick on marketplace for a lot more.
Formal dresses sound so fun to sell. Very rewarding knowing you are supplying someone with a dress they love to wear to a formal fun event 😄
I'm a new subbie, thanks for the great ideas! Heard about you from Statesplace!
Welcome 😄
