The complaining about Goodwill price hikes isn’t about paying more, it’s the fact that they’re pricing out poorer people, yes a reseller might get it, but someone who can’t afford $50 goodwill shoes missed out on a nice pair of shoes cheap because they’re priced out Goodwill is not really for poor people anymore, them and other thrifts have gotten greedy because of resellers, but have hurt the poors at the same time

Love your sense of humor! This camera bag “was just hanging out” in the bag section 😂 I only buy new underwear “ I’m not a maniac!” 😂

I found brand new ecco Sandals, for 10$, I sold for 80$!!!!!!
Comment from : @catarinaaraujo8854

So, the answer to "When should I get there?" is "I don't knowdepends"
Comment from : @bobbythreet-btdrummer418

I found a leather duffle bag for 10 bucks and flipped it to 150, definitely gonna keep thrifting

How often do you go to the thrift store? Daily, or certain days during the week?

Great video! Such useful info! New sub 🙂
Comment from : @patriciaacampora2491

I just recently learned that all donated jewelry goes through head office - so you’ll never randomly find real gold cause they’ve already collected lol
Comment from : @katrinamaile1357

There's a note laminated to the "wares" table in the back at Goodwill (which is the majority of things other than clothes at thrift stores) that reminds the pricing people not to spend more than 3 seconds looking at an item before they price it That's a really big advantage for buyers 💪
Comment from : @zacharysherry2910

I'm just getting started reselling & I found this video to be INCREDIBLY helpful Thanks so much!
Comment from : @RemRoseHomestead

You didn’t mention jewelry, I started in silver & have moved to gold I was a professional shopper & estate sales are my best bet as are auctions It’s more $$ up front but learning what’s vintage & workmanship is valuable! Plus I like it I try to get as many men’s rings & jewelry as I can bc both females & men are always asking online! I like to buy the bigger sizes bc if necessary I can melt them if gold!
Comment from : @bonniejosavland3227

The thrift store reseller thing wont last long it low quality junk they actually ebay the good stuff or sell it out the back door to dealers If your reselling go to garage sales, estate sales and auctions You can make a living reselling but not by buying thrift store garbage
Comment from : @KevinUrban-u1z

Underwear vintage quality of fabric they last for years Newer fabric only last a couple years
Comment from : @dawnyoung4635

do make sure they all work somehow before listing or just take a chance they do
Comment from : @Rgrice1000

Pretty sure this guy works for eBay or one of their marketing affiliates
Comment from : @mothersmucker1

A lot of thrift stores have power outlets to test electronics I’m big on VCRs (not dvds the laser assemblies fail too often) As long as a VCR can do ff rwd play stop pause and eject I take the chance that it will play Sometime they just need the heads cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of paper Always works for me😊
Comment from : @resellerworldnj

19:40 Barcodes don't work for records and CDs There are often multiple different pressings with the same barcode You have to check the runout matrix to see which pressing it is
Comment from : @QoraxAudio

Sony Walkmans often sell nicely; all hipsters with more money than common sense like those
Comment from : @QoraxAudio

No, thrift stores over here are always visited frequently by flippers alreadybrReally no point fishing in the same pond
Comment from : @QoraxAudio

Do you have a video on title structure?
Comment from : @bubbie23jw

This video was really helpful I'm new to the channel and new to the reselling business Does anyone mind sharing how to price the shipping costs for these large (heavy) items? Thanks in advance
Comment from : @LisaSimplified

Two questions about the electronics section: 1) How do you test the cameras if you don’t have old film for super vintage/antique models or battery chargers for the digital ones? 2) how do you ship the heavy stuff U recently acquired a double cassette stereo system, but I’m too afraid to list it because I have no idea how to ship it affordably or protect it adequately from breaking in transit
Comment from : @lesdody

My dad buys his underwear online because the stores here only carry the newer ones that don’t have a fly opening and he’s old school and wants the easy access when he’s working outdoors
Comment from : @loriguillen8057

For things like your FBI mug, are you listing as an auction or did you set the Buy It Now price high because your research indicated it could get so much?
Comment from : @jonpers2685

Nothing at my Sacers is $4
Comment from : @GenExRemembers

Love your video brDo you set the price, or do you just check what others are selling them for or do you auction them?
Comment from : @sherrybradshaw6504

Bins is a warzone, it’s so fun
Comment from : @bashx7433

Some good ideas, but yeah, its like bottom feeding now Goodwill & the thrift stores in my state, Wisconsin, seem to sell all the good stuff online now The stuff in those glass cases are usually overpriced junk that the store workers believe to be valuable And the electronics departments are usually all broken stuff I used to make a killing on kitchen gadget replacement parts but the market seems to have dried up Now I'm mostly focused on baseball cards & sporting goods It's getting tougher to source anything these daysbrRummage sales seem to be a good place to hunt if you go early
Comment from : @stoneyj1a1

Thank you !! Good stuff My GW doesn’t stock much until the staggered MP gets in 1-2 hrs after open brOnly 3 months into reselling, but I stop each day to stay familiar with things Helps the different stand outbrThe best days are when the store looks helter skelter Why are these shoes under the plush?brWhy is a bat in with glass ware? Some may be a reseller trying to hide things 🤷‍♀️ Usually means I’ll find at least 4 decent items
Comment from : @heatherheather600

Very helpful! Thank you!
Comment from : @RUEGREY

Are you putting things up for auction or putting a hard price on things?
Comment from : @kaaname93

run a mom and pop and I price enough for all of us to live I love my resellers … definitely get to know the workers because sometimes they might hold stuff for you to check out 1st Bring them a snack or drink 😂 works on me Love your videos
Comment from : @s1mplyjay

Truth is you will not find bargains at Goodwill It may be easy to make 5-10 dollars on an item but the work to resell is large and you will be left with surplus of cheap crap
Comment from : @walkingnyc1

I agree! Best video out there thanks!😊
Comment from : @AnnMcConnell-zw4kc

my question is why would someone even want to buy some of these items when they can just buy new items for same price?
Comment from : @hunterking1927

How on earth did you find an unopened MTG Commander deck Holy smokes
Comment from : @jeffreyheller7710

Love this content and your dry sense of humor!
Comment from : @colehunt3478

I’ve only been selling on eBay for a year Just came across this video and learned so much! Thank you I really love your videos Question: what percent of your listings do you allow offers? I am trying to find the sweet spot and find the YouTube videos to be confusing Some sellers allow for offers and some don’t What is your recommendation?
Comment from : @natashaoilar7705

They say find something you like to do, and it'll never be like a job I have recently realized I need a side income but at my age do not have the desire to work 3-4 hours either before or after my full time job Reselling is something I can do before or after work Thrifting is my passion and I'm going to turn it into the side income I need Thank you for all the tips you gave in this video I really enjoy the way you present things I can learn a lot from you
Comment from : @LisaCatLady

I always find nice amplifiers, audio equipment, dvd, vhs And sometimes I consider buying and reselling BUT THEY NEVER HAVE THE REMOTES I can’t imagine someone handing in without them, especially with the nice grade of electronics My theory is the thrift stores, simply don’t care and toss them It makes them unsellable
Comment from : @NoThanksnothanks

Your videos are very informative and entertaining, you have a good sense of humor :)
Comment from : @nancyprospers8888

Thank you so much for the great tips, Justin! I started out selling vintage but can’t source enough inventory and sometimes there is not enough profit This is giving me a great direction to go in, to bring in some income, while I continuing figuring the vintage thing out

How are you picking your prices?
Comment from : @robdmau

I just bought two Ronco Rotisseries that both work perfectly for $10 each They are now stripped, and when completed should net me over $300 vs the $120 I could have made if I sold them whole
Comment from : @chestermorgan5924

Goodwill is a ripoff to the people who are truly in need, if you want to be a good person donate to the Salvation Army, whenever there's an emergency the Salvation Army is there along with the Red Cross, and if you are down and out they're going to help you, Goodwill is a for profit organization that does nothing to help The people who are in need

I would love to know your best strategy for pricing things
Comment from : @vmaeallday

The resellers at the stores by me bring in food and coffee and stand by the stockroom door for hours each day waiting for new stock carts to come out brIt’s gotten crazy out there
Comment from : @Lastluke

As a reseller in the social space, I see a lot of issues selling electronics, and a higher rate of NAD returns How do you mitigate that, especially if you can't test it first? For example, I know of a thrift store near me that has a literal BOX of old remotes I could get for a song, but I would have no way of testing them before posting them Do you list everything as "for parts only"?
Comment from : @marktimothy6371

Great video bro Thanks allot
Comment from : @GreekAekaras

On underwear, eBay does not allow selling USED underwear, but you can sell used Base Layer I'll leave the strategy to use up to others

Drop their kids off to act like a babysitter? You mean what you did when you were a kid? Look at toys? Do you even hear yourself speak? 🙊
Comment from : @mrsdaisy4565

Honestly thrift stores completely blow Goodwill in my area is charging damn near resell prices for everything I live in LA county and they charge $30 for shoes 😂 they look so much stuff up at these places I found some doc martins at a different thrift store and they were $60 f-ing dollars Every time I go to goodwill in small towns though there’s tons of good stuff so I always check them while on vacation haha

Comment from : @Clintscollectiblez

How do you know the date of manufacture for the plush animals? For example that stuffed bugs bunny doll?
Comment from : @mateofernando5066

The stock in Goodwill depends on the area I went in one in SC the size of an aircraft hangar The whole floor was clothing with a tiny section for suitcases, small furniture items and a few golf clubs etc There was one small wall area for electrical items household and glassware I saw nothing that was remotely collectible nor resellable mostly junk
Comment from : @irisdown9758

Wow
Comment from : @solis974

Are there apps out there that tell you what an Item might be retailing for?
Comment from : @ZanthaDay

Super fucked up and bought multiple pallets of DVDs at a silent auction Had bid similar prices for bid on before and never won; this time, I won them all I expected to maybe win a pallet and sort through a few hundred, now I have over 2000 Paid too much for my bad learning pains I got a lot of 200-plus shoes that will ease the pain Purchased flipwise Not sure how to effectively use the item slotting but will figure it out
Comment from : @blackslacks639

Hi, question any brand in particular VCR player?
Comment from : @JUJU-_-

I'm curious about the random items that sell for $50 plus Dollars Is he researching and seeing the "buy it now" at those prices or auction listing?
Comment from : @blake70505

Wow Seems like youre getting some hate un comments Or maybe its jealousy or envy! I appreciate all the info Newbies need direction! Never a bad thing to help others along the way
Comment from : @bettyrhodes7722

Thank you for the video
Comment from : @Munnyteem

I was at a Goodwill store when a cart was rolled out, and there were signs on both sides of it that said "STAND 10 FT AWAY, OR YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE STORE! I witnessed a crappy diaper pulled out of a bin, and the man was NOT wearing gloves! Yard sales are much better, with best pricesIMO
Comment from : @CherylSargent-u2p

Let me understand this I’m gonna pay for the gas travel all the way to the thrift store and I’m gonna leave the Louis Vuitton or Coach items alone you mean the instant sell like gold and silver just leave them for Bill you’re telling us to leave clothes alone but you’re talking about jackets on there please I can get clothes and sell them in 24 hours and you’re taking six months to sell a faucet
