$40 at thrift store | How much profit can I expect?

[@Dawn_Reane]

Great choices for the money spent and you should do well on the ROI. My only input is when checking online for prices, ebay especially, please make sure you are checking the sold prices in lieu of the listed prices. An item can be listed for any amount but the true tell in what it may bring is the sold price. Good luck in the competition!

[@margiebell6825]

I agree!can be so disappointing!great job on your projects!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Good tip! Thanks for your feedback and I will try to do that moving forward. Keep rushing around and need to look at the details!

[@ginacrusco234]

The white lacy bowl with wooden spools in it is gorgeous! I'm so sorry that the blue and white plate was chipped -- you looked so heartbroken! Good luck on the 40/40 challenge.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I was heartbroken! Need to pay more attention when I’m rushing through my finds! 😜

[@MsJet1]

Maybe you could wrap the handles of the basket tray with leather cording.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Great idea!

[@NotTooShabbyPatti]

Great job! I bet you’ll win the challenge. My favorite was the round green box with the transfer.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kimcollins9462]

Heather, you did a fantastic job picking you items, i think you will win this. I love what you did with basket tray, its beautiful and the lazy Susan as well. I think the prices are probably with everyone else, everything is so expensive. I ask myself would i pay that for the item and thats the way im pricing but im probably to cheep. God bless

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Sometimes I have to remember that my target customer is not me! I would never pay these prices because I’m a thrifter! We shall see!

[@angelabritten48]

I live in New Zealand and can't believe how cheap you can get such gorgeous items and then sell them for so much more!!! I'm soooo jealous.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so sorry you can’t get these kind of deals where you are! 😬

[@ivyandjutecreations]

Loved them all but that lazy Suzan was definitely my favorite. That paper was gorgeous. ❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Jo-AnnCorbin]

Loved all your flips, the wicker tray is my favorite. Good luck!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much!

[@donnaateah6363]

I loved this video, I loved that you had to crunch the numbers because of the challenge. What a great way to make a living as a woman, mother and wife and incorporate all your loves and skills!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Glad you enjoyed it! It has been an amazing outlet for sure!

[@sgdavis8888]

Great finds, Heather! Good luck with the 40/40 challenge, I LOVE your upcycled projects!! 🌿🌻🌿

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@terriallen2537]

Hello Neighbor. Great haul and what a fantastic challenge the 40/40/40 Sonnet recommended. Thanks for sharing it with us. Next time I thrift, I'll set a limit and try it out. Good luck with getting your items sold at a maximum profit. Don't think you'll have any trouble. Your new booth space looks very nice and inviting. Oh, love seeing sweet boy Henry. He has the sweetest soulful eyes. Look forward to next video and take care. 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@christinefeucht8668]

You’re booth is wonderful. I too live in GA. New at this but finding courage and inspiration from ones like yourself. One thing I learned from you is......... I have a lot to learn

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

We ALL have a lot to learn but you can always get started! 🥰

[@brendashelonko2149]

I enjoy the way you organize and display your items and upcycles!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh thank you!

[@IrishRnr56]

I really like the copper tea pot and the small, English vase that has small flowers on it. Good haul and I'm certain you'll see profits on these Heather! 💲💲💲💲💲💲

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@kathleenmay6711]

I think you might win this challenge! I can’t wait to find out and I hope that you let us know who wins. What if Sonnet wins will one of her members send her a prize? I’m super competitive so I would be all about this challenge even if it was for just a stick of gum 😂.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Haha! I wondered who would send Sonnet a prize if she won! 😜. We shall see!

[@cherylstark99]

That antique piece is beautiful quarter sawn oak. Hatbox dresser.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It’s so dreamy…couldn’t leave it there!

[@carolyn8716]

Oh so many goodies you found, and your upcycles were perfect-loved them all! Just got my new Seeds transfer, can’t wait to play! Lol The decoupage paper you used was so pretty-if you use plastic wrap or for thicker paper even a paper towel, that will help you smooth out the paper without it getting tacky on your fingers and risk tearing. Thank you for including the original and your sale prices-it really helps us/me with my own pricing. Good luck with your contest-hope you win! ❤🎉

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you found the pricing helpful! We shall see if my stuff can sell that high!

[@rachellarsen939]

Love the basket and the green mailbox house. Good luck with the challenge. P.s your hair looks really cute 😍 oh and that second dresser ❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jodiemeschke6889]

Loved this video. Your projects turned out so awesome; I love the wicker tray. And your booth looks so great. Very well staged. Thanks for sharing.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Forgot to add your booth looks wonderful. I would shop there in a heartbeat!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

😘

[@loribarton7480]

Make a Saran Wrap ball to rub your decoupaged paper to smooth and get the bubbles out.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I need to try this tip! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@MsJet1]

Those beer steins (crockery) were probably bought at the Octoberfest in Munich, Germany. We have some like it from that venue.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Nice! What fun to be there in person!

[@francheskag08]

I loved your daughter at the end 😅 it made me laugh out loud literally 😂❤❤❤❤❤ love everything you got btw.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

She surprised me too! Had to keep that in there!

[@ivankagren2746]

I collect blue and white. Love the stuff you found. I would buy from your booth if I was there. The copper pot is beautiful.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh thank you!

[@donnawilkes8954]

What I like about your haul items is they look as though they were a curated collection. They would look great in a cupboard together.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Oh thank you!

[@melonmahfood2439]

I'm loving watching you ladies with this 40/40 challenge! Cheering you all on. My favorite was your basket, so fun.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@karenfarmer6600]

Heather, I just love you! You are so talented and down to earth!! Love your stuff!❤❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Awe…thank you so much!!

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

Nice haul, Heather. The old dresser has so much character and the wood is beautiful! It is truly an heirloom piece to keep forever! Good luck in the challenge-it sounds like prices in your area are a bit higher than where I live. Love all your flips!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@loribarton7480]

I love this video. I have been thrifting and up-cycling my home decor and you are really good at it!! I love your videos.

Wow I love the large basket!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@donnamartinez1566]

You crushed this challenge with your finds! I wish I had been able to find more items that didn't need to be flipped. I still need to post a photo of my items. I can't wait to see how it goes for everyone! :)

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It’s a fun challenge for sure!

[@colleenb.6805]

What A fun challange , I think I'm going to try it.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You totally should! It’s a good way to watch what works!

[@merrimullinax]

How am I crushing it? A new job that I love! And are you in Georgia? Where is your booth?

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Congrats on your new job and super great that you love it! I’m in Cumming, GA. Booth is at Angry Mama’s Antiques in Cumming!

[@MsJet1]

Your booth is beautiful!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@lisaandreen8676]

You're a fabulous inspiration to me!! Thanks!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I have one just like this. Thanks

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@berthahobler2003]

Love your videos thanks for sharing! 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Glad you like them!

[@corinnepage1260]

I'd like some info on the paper you used on your lazy susan. What type of paper is it (tissue paper?) and where did you get it? I love it and would like to get some for my crafting. The items you got are great items and the upcycles turned out great. (And I love Henry and, being a dog lover, I love seeing him in your videos!)

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

The paper is JRV decoupage paper!

[@melodymartin222]

Thanks...a lot of good info!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you for watching!

[@teresaconner3788]

Some great finds! I love your booth! I painted my booth walls white and im not loving it. Could you please tell me the color paint you used on your walls? Thanks.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Absolutely! I used the new DIY Cottage color Americauna on the back wall and DIY paint in skeleton key on the side walls

[@kateivester3122]

Enjoyed this video..thank you.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@danyllmcintyre4376]

I loved this!!! What part of the country are you from? Your thrift prices are so much cheaper than mine in Northern California!!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I am in Cumming, GA just an hour north of Atlanta! And thank you!

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I love your lazy susan.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@ellenl5626]

My favorite was the round wood box with a cover you put transfers on. Do you put a sealer over the transfers?

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Yes! Either a top coat or wax to seal it all together. Keep forgetting to mention that and will try to do better moving forward! 🫣

[@PattyPaints]

Hmmmm... I didn't see the metal birdhouse/mail box in the booth recap. Did you end up keeping it?

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m going to put it in my booth but hadn’t glued it before I took things to the booth!

[@karenmackinnon7385]

I love it all but the tea cup and saucer is fab, the furniture items you bought are amazing 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@leslienewton9002]

Is that a basket of stickers? If so, how much do you charge? I found some really good ones at the bins and wanted to sell in my booth 😁

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I charge $1 each and sell them ALL THE TIME!

[@julsjewels3185]

I hate when chips are found after the fact. I bought 3 salt and peppers . All 3 have chips.Grrrrr. I hate that!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I hate that too! I get so in the moment when filling the cart and need to go back and inspect before checking out! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jackieblodgett2799]

Why are YOU the seller paying sales tax??? Your store should be collecting that from the customer when they make a purchase. Sounds kinda sketchy to me! Nice haul and good luck with your challenge.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

My store collects the sales tax for sure! I have to pay the credit card fee of the customer uses one but I factor that into my cost and it’s a bonus if they use cash.!
