I Made Over $2,000 in One Week Going to Goodwill

My quest to go to 70 thrift stores in one week sure is difficult. What will I end up buying to flip for a profit on ebay?

    Even though I'm no longer selling, I enjoy watching your videos. Truth be told, I still have the itch to go out and source stuff to sell. I just don't have the time or patience anymore. After being scammed on a major item, it just killed the fun in it. You guys keep going strong!!

    Great finds! I think that you should go to the bins for a couple of hours for one of your videos and dig for treasures. I love the bins and I find so much good stuff to resell there, but it does take time to dig through everything. Lots of resellers make their money solely on bins items.

    What a crazy trip, I would have been burned out after the halfway point. lol nice finds for sure, but I think it showed the superiority of garage sales. I’ve predominantly always gotten my items from thrift stores but due to recent price hikes in my area I’m looking to shift that business model. Garage sales seem to be the best ROI.

  • @wearefreesd3305
    @wearefreesd33055 ай бұрын

    There has been a few goodwill‘s in my area that have gone ridiculous in their prices. By ridiculous I mean they are basing all their prices off of eBay. And it’s weird because I feel like they’re shooting themselves in the foot or they would rather price the item high in hopes, that that one person looking for that one specific book That cost $30 on eBay walks in and find it for $20 at their store. That’s not gonna happen. I feel like they would rather price high never sell it instead of getting two dollars for it. They would rather let it go to the bins or recycle center. it just makes no sense. I used to show up to this Goodwill and they could barely keep up in keeping their shelves stocked. Now I show up and things are overflowing. Their glass cases are so full. You can’t even see what’s in there anymore. I feel like it might take a few months maybe a year until they realize they should go back to pricing everything how they used to. I think the problem is they have hired younger people that are aware of resellers, and they have this kind of animosity or anger towards us so they price high so that we can make a buck off of them even though they’re making a buck off of donations. also, it’s not just Goodwill‘s other thrift stores are following in the same path. I can’t wait until they ask themselves “why have sales dropped”
