EBAY SELLERS HIDDEN GEM! Better than a Thrift Store?

I wish I had a store like this in my area. I'd probably replace thrift store sourcing.

I love getting into “The Cart Zone” when out picking. Best.

[@christaylor6674]

The Restore's in my area are more expensive than Home Depot. I am not sure who prices the items but they are way off.

[@ChristianGutierrez]

KZbin asked me to review your video, wanted to ket you know I gave you 5 stars ⭐️

[@PartTimePickers]

Haha thanks!

[@dang2390]

Surprised you just found out about these I've been going to them for years. I don't think they're big fans of resellers even though you can find many deals there.

[@adrianbarnes3808]

Woot woot!!! Just sold my last set of moen handles!!! Pretty cool seeing your own sold comp in a video!!! Nice score they are a decent sell at the right price.

[@thepickingpauper9652]

There goes my honey hole! lol. I've found Ping golf clubs, vintage Pyrex, silver... all kinds of stuff!

[@Curtishardy09]

I hit the restore every so often. One time they had a box of old 45rpm records that had been donated. I picked up the whole box for $10. It had almost 200 records. Almost all were promo’s and demo’s. It was a nice collection that had been donated. Always worth a look.

[@candy123258]

Wow! My store looks nothing like that, more of a Thrift store actually. Awesome congrats on your finds!

[@polypicker57]

I would ask a manager if you can use an incomplete package to complete the others. The worst thing is that he/she would say no. Imo...

[@kabbystevens5167]

They were different models

[@magwife]

I hope she get what’s coming to HER !!!!

[@djmond3497]

Habitat for Humanity is one of my favorite stores in the Atlanta area. Great charitable organization started by President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalind. They help build low income houses but the houses are beautiful.

[@tomeaceslittlemonkeys9280]

I went to one at the beginning of my reselling and whoa. Overwhelmed for sure. It’s easier now but still a lot of work searching through. Mine definitely isn’t as organized as that one was. So glad you were able to find some profitable items 👍😊

[@TheDudeVT]

We have a few of these Habitat for Humanity Restore shops! There great and they don't just have stuff for home building. Everything they sell goes towards buying what's needed to build new homes for folks with not much money! Great program. I have found a bunch of great stuff to flip there. Thanks for the great video.

[@janelord3061]

Interesting store. I was starting to write about leaving all those boxes open when you said you would be going back and closing them all. Thanks for doing that:; it's the right thing, and we don't see that often these days. WOW, that's going to me some serious ROI. Nice job!

[@kelliallen4220]

My local ReStore has everything...clothing, dishes, anything worth something that gets donated locally. I won't shop there anymore. Nothing has a price. You take everything up to counter and you get sized up. If they think you have money, you are way overcharged.

[@southofhollywood4199]

My local Restore sells mostly light fixtures and appliances. Once in a while you can find a gem.

[@AimHigherDuh]

I recently been going to habitat instead of goodwill. Bought 12 carhartt shirts for $1 a piece and sold in lots of 6 for $40 a piece in 30 min. Love their pricing

[@resellchick3196]

Love the Re-Store! We have one about 3 miles from us and I had no idea that they had so many things to resell until I went in looking for a sink for my bathroom remodel!

[@raizinboyz]

I have one of these stores about 30 mins from my house. I didn’t used to go there until COVID hit and my eBay sources were limited. I’ve gotten some great things! I just picked up an infrared heat lamp used to remove paint/wallpaper. I sold it for 250 after only a few days. I paid 15!!! Love your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge. We can only keep what we have by giving it away.

[@angeliquecosta6046]

“We’ve entered the cart zone.” Things are getting serious 😼 Haha love it! Thanks for the info. I have a few in my area. I’ll have to check them out.

[@montanapicker5519]

I’ve been meaning to go to my local Restore. Definitely on my list now! Thanks for the great video!!!

[@javelinaflips-annie5000]

Wow! Lot of stuff in there. Might be worth the drive to go check out ours. Thanks Matt.

[@marthap8271]

Good finds! It must have taken forever to check all that stuff. You have a very understanding wife and kids waiting for you while you thrift.

[@myfamilyismyworld]

10x your money is 🔥! The restore in my area is a gold mine also. Love going there!

[@jojo90s4]

That's great you found a new place and at the same time it helps families

[@Scottyyy777]

My restore is mostly random thrift stuff, but they get good stuff so it's nice.

[@alexstroud1968]

Went into mine recently, walked out with 7 brand new games that were sealed. Although they were on Xbox 360 I got Saints Row, Wet, Transformers The Game, Ace Combat 6, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Just Cause 2, and Prey. They had other brand new games such as Assassin's Creed I II and Revelations, but I already had those. Go to your local Restore. I bought seven brand new games for $.20. Don't get me started on the Mizuno club I found in the golf section!

[@jm24247]

Nice finds.... but thing with those is sometimes if like a gasket or tube or anything like that is missing ( thats isn't obvious at first glance) it's not worth it because they are custom and often cost close to or more than the faucet to replace, if you can even find it, since its proprietary....

[@sergiothehandyman]

Awesome haul. I love those stores, I used to go a lot when I did renovations.. never thought about sourcing for ebay.. Thank you for sharing.

[@MDOutdoors650]

I’ve done well with buying electrical parts at Restore. It’s been the only thing profitable that I’ve found at my local store.

[@notthatyouasked6656]

My local ReStore is a combination of thrift store and home maintenance store. They have a section of books, records, video games, knickknacks, etc., but they have downsized it and are becoming more picky about what they will accept for donations there. There is a large section of used furniture and a small section of used appliances. A large portion of the store is taken up by cabinets, flooring, rugs, etc. They do not sell electronics at all. I personally haven't found it to be a good source to find stuff to resell, but given Matt's experiences, maybe I'll have to try again.

[@bcrisco1]

Great job !! Unfortunately our restore is way over priced now more than ever but u did really well !!

[@ChrissTreasureChest]

I shop at the restore all the time, you really have to dig for deals as their prices are on the high side.

[@derickroque2975]

Brother next time your shopping at that store and your missing parts in the boxes.. take out part's from other boxes. To make it completed boxes..

[@lmqs94]

Is that ethical though?

[@StephanieGoesRawr123]

they might be different models though

[@dariusdauderys6218]

Most of them are different models so most likely not gonna fit. Taking parts from 1 adding to the other should be just fine, just ask cashier if you can do that. I know i did that once and was told its fine (shop no longer exists too sadly).

[@peteogden1692]

Yep the Restore I go to is a mix of home improvement and thrift...great place to source

[@troubledtrouabdour]

My local habitat has normal thrift store items also. Clothing, electronics, toys etc. but theres a large focus on further and home goods. It’s huge so there’s plenty to go around.

[@aschack429]

Your store is much nicer than the one I have here in Houston!!!!

[@finn8248]

Paid $131 and list for $1318 is awesome. My restore is huge with all the same stuff in addition to stereo equipment, tv's, furniture and a separate room with really expensive stuff that is auction type bid.

[@cintiaammons4580]

You did good usually Habitat for Humanity have different items in my area are more coachs and sitting tables.

[@nonsuchned94]

ReStore's tend to vary a lot. First one I visited many years ago (Milwaukee) was mostly furniture. I've visited three completely different ones since moving to Florida. Ocala had one split about 1/3 thrift and 2/3 home improvement. In Gainesville, 3/4 thrift with home improvement in the back. But in Jacksonville there's one that's in, IIRC, an old K-Mart, and it has everything, from home improvement, to light construction, furniture and healthy thrift stuff too. None stock clothes though. I asked in Gainesville once and they said they stocked it for a while but had to do all their own cleaning and abandoned it pretty quickly.

[@tracyriordan7011]

I heard Habitat for Humanity stores are amazing! ( : I knew there would be great stuff in there!! Sooo cool about the vintage paintbrushes too! I didn't expect those! ( : Great video for a great cause! ( :

[@suecapra5005]

That's what you want to top off your vacation trip. Good finds!!!

[@cruisen6725]

It's a good store for deals. The habitats by me consistently have the items at 30 to 50% of ebay prices. Flipped a bunch of Shark vacuums paid $75 each and sold them all for about $219 on ebay.

[@diyswithangie7377]

I love habitat! I found a $7 camera and sold for over a hundred on eBay

[@fartsackjack7081]

AT OUR LOCAL HABITAT I SCORE SOMETHING EVERYTIME ....I HAVE MADE ALOT A MONEY SELLING OUTA THERE !!! PLUMBING PARTS BRAND NEW IN BOX FOR 3.50 SOLD FOR LIKE 48.00 ..SOMETHING LIKE THAT ..LOTS A STUFF IN THERE THO !!! GOOD STUFF FELLA !!

[@drm900000]

Yo Matt, I've been watching for awhile thanks for all the useful information and being a real stand-up person. if your kids keep using your phone to much for games or whatever try to find/buy an old phone that they can use just for games. Then setup a hotspot on your phone so they have internet when you are out and about. Obviously this only makes sense if you have unlimited data, but I use to do this all the time to preserve my main phone's battery. You could also get a Freedompop SIM card that allows ~175MB of data free a month, which is perfect for pokemon go or games that use little to no data unless there is an update.

[@amyblackwell7920]

We have a Restore in Santa Cruz. It’s pretty cool, a bit overwhelming though.

[@Happylilbeaks]

Our habitat is overpriced. I’ve never found anything to resell, but I still check in there every couple of months. You got some great finds!

[@guavagirl8344]

Wow, we just got one of these in our town so I'll definitely go check it out!

[@christophertreadwell5815]

Hey Matt... dont know how far out you live from there but they had a bunch of bottles of Spa / Jacuzzi Chemicals by Leisure Time (gray bottles with red and yellow caps). Not sure how much they were asking but those have been incredibly hard to find on Amazon and other Websites being on back order. Just for an example... the Spa 56 currently is selling for $18-$20 plus shipping on ebay and it's not even liquid (granulated). If you remember the prices, it may be worth heading back up there.

[@alexw368]

Use to have one by me near Orlando. And they closed it down permanently. You got all the best stores near you Matt

[@Kate-oi6ct]

I love habitat. They also know me since I go in there a lot and give me great deals. My store usually gets a bunch of donations every year after the local home show too but I doubt they are having it this year. I live in a smaller town but the stores in the bigger city about an hour from me has several stores and they look the same as the one you went to.

[@ricardoserrano2888]

Hey matt i always check the tables lamps i find a versace lamp for 14 bucks i sold for 2000 bucks 😎

[@felixsfunkyfinds1606]

Our restore has crazy high prices. Plus they display eBay printouts next to items they think are valuable.

[@Magic0103]

I have one of these stores 5 mins down the street from me and I have made thousands of dollars from that place. I pretty much go in everyday or every other day so I can find the new stuff pretty quick which helps.

[@catsmeow501]

Our Re Store is the same, but they do have a thrift for clothes and such, you may ask them. I am in need of a kitchen faucet right now, but our store doesn't have any.

[@danscharch]

Amazing haul! You bet I’m checking my local Restore this weekend!

[@wayneG68]

And the Salvation Army store is not a recruitment centre for their military wing, it is a thrift store like Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity Restore.

[@jmc7309]

I sell on Ebay myself. I own my own construction business. I do tax sale property clean out and Sheriff sale clean outs. Pure profit from the items plus I get paid to do the clean out. The only thing I dislike about You Tube videos for Ebay is. The Ebay sellers never go into detail about how long their items must sit before they sell them. And also the amount of stuff they buy that never sells. Its always win win on the You Tube videos. I guess making videos only of the possible glory of what could possibly sell on Ebay brings followers to a Ebay based video.

[@CarolinaHustler]

I shop Habitats all the time, I have found some grails in there. Did this one have Golf clubs I didnt see.

[@douglasbyram6802]

I have one of these stores in my area and they have a book/media section and I found a rare 90s computer game on CD ROM for $1 that I flipped for $40, I need to go back to this store again soon

[@BillStoner]

Sometimes no listings or solds could mean the item has been recalled.

[@donnaward6158]

I have a hard time staying away from the books in our local Restore. They're no more than fifty cents a piece, but often 10 for a buck!

[@SydneyGreenstreet1227]

I would have inter changed the pieces in those Moen sets to make complete box fulls if possible.

[@escapingmonday2501]

My local Restore closed temporarily in 2020 due to the C-word. When they reopened they had jacked up their prices. I still stop in once in a while, but it's not worth buying anything there yet

[@chuck3379]

Watching on 10-22-21. Thanks for the video. I think there's one of those stores not too far from where I live.

[@glenns5025]

We do have them in the Bay Area. The former Saint Vincent De Paul 9235 San Leandro St, Oakland, CA 94603 is one of them.

[@frozedickdave]

Man that’s a nice restore the one in my area looks like crap is overpriced and mostly sells mis tint 10yr old paint and outdated vanity’s

[@eg4848]

The one time I went to a restore didn't find much house stuff to sell not really my thing but did find a metroid prime gamecube game! very random but sold quick

[@gingerbear24oo]

We have one here next-door to our business. It’s just like the one you went to.. but a different city. I’ll have to check it out

[@susank2463]

Restores are very spotty. Ones near me are pathetic - one even closed. Absolute junk.

[@marqkeys29]

Always great content Matt! Hope you and the family have a safe trip home.

[@GrooveAudioBooks]

I have a bad habit of rescuing vintage items,that don't sell well but are awesome to have😃

[@charliec4047]

Have you considered pulling parts from the incomplete ones to make more complete ones you can buy

[@flippineric3719]

As always, thank you for the hot content!! Morning Brotha

[@ariennelandry9207]

I love the Restore!

[@cyndimanka]

You should Carry a portable charger. I love mine.

[@DesertDweller74]

I have one of those portable solar chargers. Never leave home without it!

[@polypicker57]

HFH in my neighborhood is super overpriced 🤣🤣🤣

[@DodgyTrousers]

Looks like there are two HFH ReStores within about 20 miles of me! Wouldn't have known to look them up; thanks for the tip!

[@Deanocab]

We have a few of these in the fresno area but the missing pieces items scare me off

[@cottonwoodbazaar941]

Thanks for sharing and caring! I have been wondering what the Habitat for Humanity sold at one of their stores. Now I know!

[@bartermania]

Plumbing supply going out of business bolo! Thanks for the heads up Matt. 👍☘️

[@shanewilson661]

Did you try to enter the model numbers in the search bar manually? Ive found that barcode scanning on things that dont sell regularly are inefficient. Just a thought. Any chance you could show us on a video how you set the sold comps to come up automagically haha. Thanks again for the best reseller videos on KZbin

[@jimboyles5686]

Habitat ReStores can be very good. I bought a large collection of ERTL John Deere tractors at a store. Cost $375.00 and returned well over $2K. The store manager said someone donated the collection that had purchased a storage locker. I guess they didn't see the value or didn't want to mess with selling them. Or, they were really kind hearted and just donated them for the cause. Now, I'm always on the look out for these (like I'm going to find that same deal again). Great videos, thanks for sharing.

[@lxreedyxl4605]

With those Moen boxes, I'm assuming its frowned upon to grab from other boxes to make a box complete? may be worth asking.

[@RickyResells]

Great store Matt. Great finds!

[@deblavan4190]

That was good the one I went in was more. Used stuff ! But if it is all there and nice it maybe ok. My friend got a sink for their bathroom that was complete and nice. Lots less on price too! I got a small dink and cabinet for free That was like new on a trash day. I did not feel bad getting it either! It was almost like new and worked great! It fit perfect I. Our small bathroom too. Some one took our old one before trash went too. It was nice just too big for our bathroom. But it was I. The house when we bought it. I loved that house just hated the location of it! I wish our house now was smaller and only one floor. We will have to down size soon

[@GrooveAudioBooks]

Nawh the price was right cause these days you gotta be ready to spend more and buy it all when you find it with so much competition

[@twiceisnicesandyl.1976]

I own a Moen faucet replacement parts are free if you call with the model number Moen has a lifetime warranty 👍👍

[@faithfamilyseller2991]

Looks like Fairfield my friend My hometown, nice goodwill close by in green Valley

[@IsraAto]

I am from indonesia🇮🇩,I like Watching your Videos👍

[@anitarogers4146]

Our restore in Mo is expensive. You couldn't make money out if ours lol

[@jackiechapman8189]

Gr8 haul on all the Moen products Matt... Your gonna make some sweet profit margins... Well done... Stay safe homie...👍💕🔥⚾😷

[@xschx1]

Restores aren't necessarily just restoring house stores, I believe it stands for Reuse Store. Typically it is household items but I bought a bunch of $800 lateral filing cabinets that came out of a doctors office for $20 each. I appreciate the videos and showing people how to sell on Ebay but it's getting so competitive to the point where people who actually need to buy this stuff because they can't afford retail store prices can't because it's all bought by flippers. Also don't listen to people who tell you to swap or take parts from other boxes, all items are priced accordingly because they are missing parts so when you start doing that it can be seen as stealing.

[@thekarateflipper3020]

the restore by us had awful prices

[@jarn117]

Great finds

[@debbiekelly-snow3868]

Great pick ups!

[@debrahowe8962]

That’s got a lot more stuff than My Restore

[@Gatorgolfusa]

Throw in a back up phone charger in your pocket!!

[@deborahb6089]

Ugh. Shhh! Don't tell everyone!!!!! 😉

[@RockyMountainResale]

Going to be some nice profit. Thanks for sharing Matt
