It used to be a whole lot more crazy back in the old days. Like 25 years ago or so where I live. They didn't make you wait until until the last rolling bin was out and they take their hands off the last one. They didn't even have those big blue rolling bins back then. They had permanent ones that always stayed there, and they rolled out those big huge cardboard boxes that fit on a pallet, climbed in, and tossed the stuff into the bins. You could just sit there and grab it as it came out For several years it was that way. And only 39 cents a pound when I first started going. Really good stuff too not already picked for retail goodwills. It was the wild west gold rush days of the bins and I was one of the first to start using a smart phone (windows pocket PC). Those were the days.

I am an old time bins buyer, too. I remember the small Goodwill bins in Seattle Dearborn with the cardboard boxes. I used to get great contemporary women's stuff because no one else was looking for it. they all wanted vintage tees.

Can't wear gloves when sorting clothes, got to be able to feel them.

Can't wait for our bins trip in a couple of weeks, it's 2 hours away. Mixed in with kid-free overnight with wife out of town so I can check them out the day before and the next morning. I'd probably not wear gloves just because so much of when I find stuff is by feel. If I was checking out clothes it save me a lot of time looking at each tag.

I just start watching your videos, the positive energy you have, and all the information you provide, thank you!!!

Really enjoying your videos. My husband and I started reselling in November. Your content has been very helpful.

Also when you don't have gloves it helps you feel expensive fabrics....they feel different you may accidently toss something aside but if you can feel and see you may not accidently miss things.

I heard about your channel on another popular reseller’s video. I’ve tried several reseller’s channels and you are the best by far. Very good tips on what to look for that I haven’t heard before. I am lucky, our bins have half price days several days a week. I think they use it to clear out the “junk” so they can restock. But there is a lot that is left behind that other resellers don’t know about.

Awesome! Savvy resellers will always stay a few steps ahead of any thrift store operations changes and the bins are just loaded with gems most people never catch on to!

Nice finds. Good tip on finding comps with Nike tag on shirts

People like this is why I don't bother. These people will shove there way into you, grab things out of your hand, and reach over you, and they do it in groups. They fill their carts or bags with anything that remotely looks good and then sit in the corner for an hour, scanning and tossing the ones not worth it to them. So much crap at these bins anyway, that its rarely worth spending the better part of a day there to get anything if at all. I make it a point to keep throwing crap on top of where they dig.
