That is the cleanest Goodwill store I have ever seen.
No kidding
The one in UT that I go to is really clean
I work at the one in Atascadero, CA and ours looks pretty good
*I totally agree. 👍👍👍* Sharon in SC

Never seen a Goodwill so clean and organized. No crazy people all over the store. Well merchandised.
I've worked in a resale thrift store for over 15 years. We always tried to price things within reason, so people could afford them. Now, the store is under new management and they seem to think everything is worth a ton of money. Antique furniture is priced twice of what it's worth, china and knick knacks priced like they're in a high end antique store. And we're not talking rare items here. Common things. I know antiques and collectibles and the pricing is outrageous. And what happens? It sits there, takes up space and even with a sale it still sits there. We have a lot of items coming in everyday, we need to move this stuff. If people want to pay those kind of prices, they can just go to the mall, dept. stores, or high end antique shops. The word THRIFT is no longer applicable.
The same thing is happening in Australia. Some of them are priced dearer then you can get it new at Kmarts, target etc.
I noticed the increase probably in the last few weeks.
Our thrift stores have went up because of resale people like this guy and so many others. They have told me if they can sell it for that price then so can we !!!!
Teresa Camp What these stores don't seem to get is that they may have 100 people as foot traffic a day versus millions of buyers online. The odds of someone looking for a high price collectable is pretty slim in a little shop.
@@teresacamp3365 absolutely. These pickers are making it too expensive for regular folks (like me) to shop thrift. It definitely isn’t thrift anymore.
I agree! I used to buy stuff on Ebay, but with the cost of food, etc. so high I can't afford much there. Prices have gone up at thrift stores too! Makes me sad. Profit for some, not for us.
I stopped shopping at goodwill when I found a pack of new pillow cases priced at $12. Found out later they were doller general for $5. Found a used "PINK" shirt for 10.99. Found out it was original 7.99 at Victoria secrets. It was there stocking stuffer shirts for Christmas. They sold them rolled up in a candy like package. Never been more than 7.99 each. That stopped me right there. There is something very wrong with that. Goodwill is not a threat shop anymore...junk is sold for top doller. I get cheaper things at walmart
I refuse to donate to Goodwill ever!! I have friends that told me how they wouldn't take a recliner she tried to donate because of a small burn hole in the arm and the fabric was "outdated"! I've heard others talk about the high prices in their stores as well...yeah I'm not donating to a place that rips needy people off.. I'll stick with Habitat for Humanity stores.
When shopping at Goodwill one has to be careful about the prices. It helps if you shop a lot at several different stores so you can know what things are going for. Also, you can check the internet via your cell phone to check prices as well. I do this quite a bit.
@@TWBlack how delusional are you? Lol it's not their responsibility to take your garbage. No one, let alone a needy family should have burned furniture. Let me guess they were expecting a tax write off too? Nextttt. Goodwill was def in the right here.
@@peps1943 Apparently not as delusional as you are. See, apparently that's the difference in generations....in my early adulthood a small burn hole on an otherwise solid piece of furniture could be repaired or covered. We didn't EXPECT the BEST of everything when we were starting out or possibly down our luck. We knew we had to WORK for the finer things in life and if we got kicked in the teeth we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and fixed the problem, not expecting ANYONE to GIVE us ANYTHING. Have a great day!!
@@carbogger make them an offer? Hahaha ha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a sweet lady to show you things she was passing up!! For some reason I thought this was going to feature a lady telling you off because your cart was in her way or something! Gosh, maybe I’ve spent too long living in the city, surrounded by senseless rudeness. Great video, so fun to live vicariously through your shopping trips! (Btw, maybe a dumb question, but what do you mean by “comp”?).
Comp is for completed or comparable listings. I use these to help determine value of items.
Yeah like the bay area. Omg those people are rude
The Goodwill closest to my home is unorganized a lot of junk and not sure who is pricing (even damaged items) just ridiculous- occasionally I find a few treasures and craft items🤔
Just to share I use pool noodles. I cut them up and or cut them down lengthwise for shipping. I live in Florida so they are super cheap especially this time of year. Hope that helps have a great day. 👍
I have never ever seen a such a clean and bright Goodwill. What a pleasure that would be to shop!
As a person who does villages at Christmas… I will buy buildings that have a small chip or are missing pieces because I can always creatively hide or disguise it with my trees, snow, etc. Just thought I’d let you know! ❤️
Yeah, I've sold some damaged christmas village items in the past. Usually from collection buyouts. I typically have to discount them pretty heavy though so it's why I don't buy them individually.
Appreciate you watching and the comment!
My Goodwills look nothing like this. I have also seen items with the goodwill sticker over a tag sale sticker & it was the same price. Some things are very overpriced
I thought the lady was going to be angry but she was so sweet to you. I subscribed. I'm getting ideas from you on how to sell stuff.
The furniture flipper in me was really wanting that wooden corner shelving unit. Oh, the flip I could do with that. Thank you for sharing your adventure. :)
I would love to have that!
Dept 56 really keeps it’s value over the years! Nice pieces.👍👍
I had those Mr. Christmas star lights and the candy cane ones. I bought them in 1995, they were still working in 2018 when I donated them, so they do last a long time.
My granddaughter abd i went to GW Monday. They wanted 7.99 for jeans that the knees wore out, not distressed but worn out. Everything in the store is outrageous. I will shop at our local Mission and try to help our community.
Sara ,its the same here in the uk . The charity shops are out pricing themselves x
I agree the goodwill tags are getting more expensive these days
Same here. Ill tell this story til he's 80. But I once when my son was a baby we had an emergency where he needed a whole new outfit I walked into goodwill thinking I could grab something cheap. Tell me how I walked out went across the street to dollar general and bought a whole NEW outfit cheaper than goodwil. I've heard goodwill ceos are PAID
Goodwill's are getting crazy with the pricing on almost everything. I wish they went back to being a nonprofit organization. But their rich CEO would never let that happen.
@@amyeethomas2495 I stopped going because of that.
I was ready for drama from a Karen, and instead she was very sweet. What she showed you was quite nice!
Yeah, she was super nice!
Yeah, very click-baity title and thumbnail.
Thanks for acknowledging something good about someone else , these days people are quik to cast judgement or label some stupid new name on somebody like Karen that these kids recently came up with for cop callers ....l get it
I like how u film, how your voice speaks with non rushed calm clear percission. Also loved seeing what we need to view during picks (not wasting space with bibble babble), what to look for, what it will sell for, what ur total is, what shipping n ebay should be, etc. For this reason (old but very open to learning), happy I stumbled on ur channel. N yes, subscribed with a thumbs up
Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel!
Oh dang Dustin! That star trek glass you picked up is a glass we found at my husband's moms house just a few days ago! How random is that. Crazy, but it happens a lot watching you. When we started picking we found some great bolo's right off the bat. Its been a lot of fun! Thanks for all the knowledge, we love your videos, and I love seeing your wife in videos. We've laughed bc my husband is a lot like you and your wife and I have dyed hair, I had it purple too, but recently went back to blue. Adios, from Austin, TX!
Hey Susan, yeah I thought the glasses were neat but hard to make money on those on ebay at 8 bucks buy cost. I hope you and your husband are doing well! Thanks for watching!
Salvation Army just opened right next to goodwill here in my town. I am so elated. Salvation Army will hopefully put goodwill out of business. I made donations to goodwill a few times. There is a bright light that flashes in your face while being monitored..they are monitoring people that give donations as if they are criminals! I made donations again last week of some real good high end stuff but I turned right and gave to Salvation Army instead. They will get my donations from now on!
I got a small Dept 56 porcelain hinged box once for about $3 and it went for between $10-20, not a huge sale but it was a very small item that was easy to ship so that was nice.
Goodwill has gone crazy with their prices, you have to bring your own bag, and now they have stopped accepting furniture which is a big mistake in my opinion, they could have just stopped taking couches and big items.. I don't think people are going to make two trips one to Goodwill and one to some other store to donate the furniture I think it's all going to go to one place and it's not going to be the Goodwill.
Due to the size of furniture and how long it tends to take to sell, a lot of thrift stores and resale shops can't take them. It is really unfortunate. I remember in my home city there was a charity that started that specialized in cleaning, refurbishing, and reselling furniture to fill that gap in the market. Where I live now there's a place in a nearby town that collects old damaged furniture and refinishes or repurposes it to sell as shabby sheik furniture. That's pretty much what it takes for furniture to be worth anything in most cities due to the cost of floorspace. A banged up or stained piece of furniture just isn't going to sell because most buyers don't know how to fix it or don't have the time and space for projects like that.
Do you not know 1 in 3 homes has bedbugs on average. It 100% makes sense why they don't except furniture. You have got be dumb to think a place should take your trash because you think your shit doesn't stink. Plus like the other person said. It's huge. Takes up way to much space and most of the time it doesn't even sell let alone the reason why the furniture is being donated is because it's in shitty or broken condition. Like burn holes. Rips. Broken supports. Yeah it would be stupid to let people drop off their large trash so they would have to pay someone to take it to the junk yard. So really a smart idea to not take in furniture. Kinda of a ignorant take you have here.
I was in a Goodwill yesterday and they were selling empty Misses Butterworth bottles, empty liquor bottles and actual Dollar Store items for double the price.
Maybe picking that receiver up for $1 would have been a good idea. If it sells for $100 normally you could have put it up for $30 plus shipping for parts and still made a buck. I don't like selling electronics because of multiple returns but I will if it's for parts especially vintage units. You may not want to fix it but there are a lot of people who do it as a hobby or they need specific parts from it for their other unit. I've had success selling vintage electronics for parts and the best thing is I never get it returned because they know it's not working and have intentions to fix it.
Wow nice finds !!!!! Don't we just love those great finds thanks to the lady so nice of her .. Amen to that putting the cart back!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dustin! Another nice haul! How is it that you always have no one pouncing on the new carts when they come out? In my local GW's, the people who bring out the stuff make you wait until they put it on the shelves... and tons of people follow them around, making a free for all, and all the good stuff is gone before it gets near the shelves.
That often happens as well. It really just depends on the day and how many resellers are at that particular store.
And as a former worker, we hate it when you pounce on our carts.
@@jlhmyers75 I can certainly understand that. Some of those people are really aggressive!
What a nice lady!! Awesome finds!
Thumbnail got me!!! Awesome 🤣 I hood things in my cart and sort after. Makes it much easier. Majority of the times I take each item back where they were found.
Yeah, when there is a ton of stuff I'm interested in looking over I'll do the fill the cart and sort it all at once thing myself.
I have never seen a Goodwill like that! Clean, stocked shelves!!! Nothing like that in Rochester, NY Goodwills.
None here in Montgomery AL either. Dirty, all stuff broken or damaged, no selection, not worth the trip.
Excellent price on the Department 56 village pieces! My thrift store would have those way overpriced.
I like hearing the backround of things, it's interesting! And don't let people get to you, on here you'll hear a hundred different opinions and they're probably all wrong lol. I used to sell on eBay too, so I know. Whomever buys that item will be very happy to get it at a lower price, and as far as you making a profit, EVERYBODY in the medical business makes a HUGE profit, so there's no reason for you not to make a profit too, and a much smaller one, so they should shut up lol. I enjoy your videos very much :D
I buy most of my household items and clothing at goodwill/salvation army; I can obtain MUCH higher quality goods for my dollar. I love wool/cotton clothing, but it SHRINKS like crazy sometimes, I can purchase a pre-shrunk item and make sure it fits before taking it home. It seems so many people buy new things every season and simply discard "last year's" items. Some people have TOO much money. My favorite thrift store buy: A Nordstrom's cashmere sweater. New with tags. "On sale" at $365. Goodwill price $4. My daughter used it as pajamas for a year or so until it fit well enough to wear outside. I get Carhardtt coats for $35. I know you feel me. Best of luck on your sales! I see so many great deals on things I don't need personally. Hope your business takes off
That's a heck of a discount on that sweater! Thanks for your comment and for watching!
I recently bought a long wool womens coat that has real fur around the hood that I'm sure would have sold for at least $500 brand new. I got it for $19.99.
Great buys . Looking forward to the next lot of videos too.
Wow , super impressive finds ! You hit the jackpot 🎄👍 !!!
6:12 thumbnail. She's a nice lady who helped him find what he was looking for. :-)
Love the videos, will be tuned in on Tuesdays video for sure!
Great shopping experience. I love the little buildings. I never find them here.
Always enjoy watching your videos great finds
great video dustin, Cant wait to see whats planned ahead!
hey dustin, cool video! haha, i just thought of something random. one day you could do merch t shirts that say "Always return your cart."
Gave a like for the simple fact that you returned your cart. Subbed because I'm cleaning out my hoarder-mom's house/storage units (with her permission) and I'm interested in selling. But I am truly overwhelmed by the clutter...
It can be overwhelming for sure! If you're trying to get it up on ebay I would advise just getting it listed as fast as possible to move as much of it as you can quickly. Or bulk it out to someone like me in your area.
Congratulations on your success on eBay and UA-cam!!
Great video as always, thanks!! Looking forward to the Christmas special video!!
Hi nice finds ☺ I love the hunt we went today n found some nice things ;) thanks for sharing have a bless night prayers and peace of 😀 🙏 😊
I know where each one of those stores are at! I recognize them all. Store #2 used to be a roller rink! I may have to go get those Star Trek glasses for my hubby!
You did so good on your thrifting haul today.
Thank you! Def Learned a few things this video!
Shipping in the styeofoam ice chest is really good idea !Most people give them away on fb market place ect.
Woah, awesome! I love those Christmasy houses, they're gorgeous. :3
What a nice lady giving u tips!
Always enjoy your videos!
Nice video...lots of things I've yet to pick.... still learning. I focus on video games and electric stuff...but I'm going out of my comfort zone slowly.
Got a pair of motorcycle Boots yesterday for 12 and sold for 80
Still learning about clothes, so started a Poshmark account 🤞
What Was crazy is all the folks now following me...I had to silence my phone for several hours 😅
As I was message bombed ...
Thank you again
goodluck finding video games lol
Should not profit off of poor people
Kt
Damn. The poor buyer was not that smart.
@@kimtardiff5951 at the same time if the person was stupid enough to not realize that they could be sold for less than it is what it is.
2013 to 2017. I worked in Shepardvill Kentucky which I would go to Louisville Kentucky and buy used books, but then those stores shut down due to amazon . Well, I am happy to say, I found so many rare books at goodwill. Downey California
I'm new to your channel, and I'm enjoying your videos! I'm a long time thrifter/treasure hunter! Your stores are so clean and organized! I'm from Chicago, and unfortunately, our Goodwill and Salvation Army are very disorganized and dirty. And even after many years of suggestions, the SA store continues to STAPLE the prices on to the clothes! It doesn't matter how gently you try to remove the staple, it inevitably leaves holes. 😔
Thanks! I'm glad you found the channel! Yeah, it seems to be a SA thing with stapling clothes. It happens here as well.
I work at one in Central California and it’s so busy it’s hard to keep organized, and we have 5 people on the floor putting our clothes all day and organizing
Good finds
My heart hurts, as soon as i saw those rollar rink floors. I knew you were in dayton ohio. Man I miss those thrift shops so much
Great Picks Dustin. I have made great money on a lot of Department 56 I picked up a couple weeks ago from Cincinnari Picker.
Awesome as always usual big shout from Scotland 😉
Thank for sharing. Hello from Kettering Ohio
Hi Alena, thanks for watching!
Your Goodwill is OFF THE HOOK!
We enjoyed the video and looking forward to the Christmas video!!!
Hey Dustin, First time watching. You have a great way of explaining things. And you have a nice voice.
Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel!
Your goodwill are sooo nice , here are not so nice and over price on everything :) good finds
Congrats on 20K!!
I thought she was going to fight you over the stuff by looking at your title
Good job on the buys!
My first time watching you and now I’m subscribed and binging your channel!
Thanks Erin! I'm glad you found the channel!
AGREED! those are the cleanest and most organized apartments!
I meant department stores..dang autocorrect lol
Very handsome smile. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.
VERY fortunate to find such excellent items. I see lots of people "picking" Goodwill et al. Profits such as seen here have to be unusual. True getting anything at a good price but the reward is finding someone who is willing to buy at almost retail price.
We do put a lot of miles on our shoes. I have no idea why the algorithm recommended your video or why I clicked on it, but it was fun. Big like.
That looks like my SA and Goodwill. Near Dayton Ohio.
Yeah, I live in the dayton area. Thanks for watching! Glad you found the channel!
We would all be interested in learning actual net profit after expenses, gas, car maintenance, shipping supplies, time spent on packaging and shipping, etc.
You would be surprised there is a large segment not interested in numbers. I recently made a video on how much I made in 2021 when I take a deeper dive into my financial breakdown. ua-cam.com/video/bvNrl6GywRU/v-deo.html
I never find goodwill goods like you do in my ohio west virginia neck of the woods. So nice to see some goodwills got decent stuff. Love the vids ..
Me either here in Dallas Tx area.
And never find great shoes like Hairy Tornado where he is,
Where does this guy live? Wondering where these good stores with low competition are.
Thank you for the heads up on that. I lost a sale because one thing I am new to eBay. Sweater was 11.99 really cheap. The lady that wanted to buy it was in CA. I’m in FL. The dang postage would be more than the sweater. I have only sold one thing and that was because my grandson seen a shirt he liked and he bought it. Isn’t that sweet? So at least now I can say I have sold something. Can someone advise me?
Back when I was reselling clothes items on Ebay I would put the items in a very large zip top plastic bag and roll the item up from the bottom to express most of the air, then zip-closed the top. It worked almost as well as those vacuum bag sealers and I'd have a relatively flat item, then it could go in a mylar mailing envelope relatively cheaply. Beat having to place a fluffed-up sweater in a medium USPS box and having to pay 15+ dollars to mail.
The algorithm brought me here, and just in time for your Tuesday video 👍
Welcome! I'm glad you found the channel. Just finished tonight's video this morning. It should be pretty good!
Unfortunately, the prices at Goodwill (and other thrift store chains) is totally dependent on your area. Living in an upscale neighborhood, *NOTHING* is under $10. Well..records are and some shirts on the racks...but household goods all start at $10 and go up from there...and anything of value is always behind glass. Saw a Swatch watch behind lock and key for $29...I think that was more than it sold for when it was new back in the 1980s.
Good to see you a gain Dustin.tell Jessica hello. You all should got your stuff I sent for you-all's sale. Let me no when it comes I worry about the mail.im going to order a couch cover it brown from you all beginning next week and have it saved I have to wait till I get payed.thanks
The stores you visit are so clean! The thrift stores in St Augustine Florida are dumps which surprises me. Wow! Your Goodwill like many others on UA-cam are amazing. The Goodwill in northeast Florida are filthy and dumps.
One great haul!!
Music gets me pumped
This is my first time watching you. I must say you are such a pleasant person.🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅 Have a very Merry Christmas.🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
Thank you Wanda! I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well!
I’m with you brother but potential is the key word sometimes the waiting is the hardest part
the Chinese cup you walked right past is worth 500 if not more at an auction depending on the year it was made 1:45
Went to our local Goodwill. Frankly, most of it was new stuff or pure junk. If there was anything good, I certainly didn't see it. But getting Dept. 56 is a good find, if it's cheap enough.
The managers are instructed to keep back ANYTHING that might be worth money. Most of the owners have antique stores that they take them to, and sell for profit.
In a lot of cases, the managers or people pricing don't have the expertise or knowledge to be pricing anything. I've seen too much about what goes on in the back rooms of a thrift store. One supervisor was selling stuff to dealers out the back door. Of course, they were caught and fired but I'm sure this still goes on.@@jenniferkay9789
@@jamesfournier3458 I know of a supervisor from a Salvation Army, in one state, who was stealing donations, to place in his personal antique shop, in another.
I definitely need to find these Goodwills
I wish there was a way that you can check out inventory before you go to the thrift stores, I've been looking at all my local ones to find Kirby vacuum cleaners, expensive machines that you can find for as low as $9 and usually all it needs is a belt and bags for it and it'll run perfectly.
The ..is that your cart lady..that’s one cool,chick for telling you about other stuff
Any trip to Goodwill is a good trip! 😂
Thanks for returning the cart!
Congrats on 20K!
I really like what you're doing here don't change a thing.. subscribed
Thanks Mike!
Yard sales.thift shops. Flea markets. Goodwill's. That's where it's at my man
I'm not sure about Goodwill's or other thrift stores but value village or the ones on my state..but value village will pay big brothers big sisters a by the pound amount of the items that the big brother big sisters trucks bring in from their purple donation bins. they don't pay for baby items beside clothes really because there is to many recalls for them to be liable for. My son's father use to go around and collect all the time from the donation bins at certain properties, and they get to put their bins at these store with the stores permission, and the agreement that they will clean up within a certain amount of feet around the bins. So they do pay a price for a good amount of donations but by the pound, not sure if it's just clothing or everything but the big brother big sisters employees separate the household an clothing items that are loose. If your interested in knowing more I can ask what it use to be but could of changed over the years. The items people bring right to the store are different and they make pure profit off though.
Thanks for the video!
Awesome haul ⚘⚘
Like watching your hauls!
Thanks Leslie!
I want that coin bank! So cool!!
The mechical bank depends if it is older or a reproduction. Repros go about $25. Older ones more.
yeah that has to be a repop you are she second reseller that has found one in really nice condition that ive seen on here this month.
That's a big Goodwill ❤️ love it. New subbie
Thanks! I'm glad you found the channel!
Aw man! Saw a brass cow horn! I need that for dad
Can’t wait for the Christmas Special!
Bet you'll love it Margaret
