Even items from brands such as Robot Coupe can suffer a long tail waiting for the right buyer to come along. Make sure to only invest money in your reselling inventory that you can do without especially on more obscure items like this vintage countertop appliance.

A little tip on tea kettles is too check the inside bottom before buying. I have personally ruined more than one by forgetting it was on fire and all water evaporated but then kept cookin. 😬 Ruins the inside bottom.

I've found a robot coupe food processor that I sold over Facebook for $400 to a restaurant owner, so you may want to try to sell it locally as well.

I saw the FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS pillow and literally said out loud “ don’t do it” because I had mine for over a year before it finally sold a few weeks ago for dirt cheap and then….. you put up sold comps and it was mine. LOL. I sell mostly vintage on Etsy but this past year and a half started also listing on EBAY and Mercari. You and your wife are myself and my husbands favorite to watch and learn from!

Dustin, I just want to say how much I enjoy your informative videos. I actually just found a few great items recently. I found a vintage Izod Lacoste Cashmere wool sweater, and a vintage Cabbage Patch doll. I found a 1987 G I Joe space shuttle one time for $10, flipped and shipped for $120.

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching, William! Nice finds!

[@tritter82]

It will be interesting to see how much sits in thrift stores during yard sale season. I know here in PA some of ours are crazy with pricing within this past year

[@propicker]

I noticed last year some of the stores that bumped prices over the winter did start to bring them back down going into the spring. These stores also end up with a large influx of donations from community yard sales and just need to move stuff too so that may be depressing prices as well.

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

In Northeast PA and I can confirm goodwill has gone nuts with pricing. It tends to be fairly good for items you want for yourself but I'm barely finding anything for resale. Also for some reason my local goodwill stores don't have electronics.

[@Mordecaigut]

@@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass some goodwill stores have deals with other places where they just sell all stock of a specific item to them directly. There's a goodwill in my area that does not carry DVDs/CDs/vhs because it all gets sold to another media store.

[@anasazirose]

I'm in SW PA, where GW has minimum pricing of $2.99. On the same day in the same store, I found a bag of beanie babies for $2.99, then a single one for $2.99. So, it depends on who is pricing items. I even found a pack of pencils that had an 18 cent Target tag on it.....for $2.99.

[@whitebathroomguy]

Prices are up because resellers bragging in stores to employees/managers about profits, in addition to, all the resellers bragging videos they see..that's why the prices went up..

[@YTSkeptic]

Most of thrifting to resell is living in the "right" ZIP code. GW is usually a spoiler --- in my very small town --- they suck up the available donations and export anything with over $ 8 in profit in it to Shop GW. They've been less greedy for much of this year but I'm still looking for their "mistakes". The YT'ers love to film at GW because it sends a false message that "anyone can do this" and "you have a GW near you, don't you?" Hang in there.

[@jakemckeown6322]

@YT Skeptic2022 its not really a false message. I go to other Thrift stores in my area; there are at least 15 others, but I never step into goodwill because their prices are through the roof, often higher than ebay itself. 200 for a ps2 last I was there. There are certain Thrift stores I spend a lot of money at.

[@YTSkeptic]

@@jakemckeown6322 Having 15 thrift stores readily available is far more than many people have. You're lucky. Approximately what is the radius to encompass 15 stores?

[@jakemckeown6322]

@YT Skeptic2022 the furthest one away that I go to regularly is 45 minutes. It's a pretty big radius in 3 different towns but not that bad

[@scottbeck7762]

Your pronunciation of Robot Coupe is correct

[@timmason706]

Hey brother, just chiming in on GW pricing. It really does depend on management and pricer. I have 2 stores within 7 miles each direction. One always has good deals, the other is crazy and doesn't carry hats (kinda my cash flow item).

[@propicker]

Yeah, it really can vary from store to store. Who is pricing, etc. Also, I've noticed some stores will start getting a bit high and if you just give it some time prices tend to come down.

[@judyspaulding4141]

[@Rachelizabeth86]

Our goodwill tags all Nikes hokas brooks etc with special tags and price them insanely high. $15+ for beat shoes.. they know what resellers are looking for. They also tag squishmallows for $5-$6 even completely stained and dirty. I have to hunt for overlooked items most of them time. Our paperbacks are $1 and hardbacks are $2 so that’s the only area that isn’t bad. They don’t keep any video games out on the shelves at all, they put them all on their website for more money..

[@propicker]

That's a shame. I've been to some stores like that as well. Hopefully, you're still able to find some good stuff there and elsewhere.

[@finkstudios]

Today's epic Pro Picker Moment is the forehead zoom . Just epic.

[@jasontrumble7217]

One other point in Goodwill pricing..I have become friends with the mgrs and the employees crazy not build that relationship escpecially if you watch this channel and watch them personally bring Dustin items or steer him in a certain direction. The pricing isn't the stores fault its their higher ups in corporate making these mandates for pricing especially hats sneakers and other items so don't hate your local goodwill its not their doing they be happy to have everything sold for the space for the constant processing pricing storage etc..

[@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087]

Oh and I found out within the last year or so that with the "Gold Box" LOTR extended cuts that the 2012 copyright ones are the more sought after due to a video quality issue that was fixed from the previous 2011 "Gold Box". I was looking to update around that time from my DVD sets and read about it.I didn't have a clue there was any issues before then. However with the Anniversary BD set and separate 4K/BD set the secondary market kinda has been flooded with people trying to re-coop for upgrading.

2.99 for a paperback. Geez . That's kinda crazy. Reseller pricing or not. I look for books for myself. But not at the price point. 😕. Especially when it's so easy to get them at the dollar tree and tiny little library these days for dirt cheap and free/swap.

[@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087]

The other big killer is the "Amazon Best Sellers/top 100" section... So anything Goodwill claims and deems on the list at one time. BOOM double the price.

Speaking about record players I totally forgot to pick up that pioneer pl-600 turntable at the yard sale today. They wanted 10 bucks and they tested it for me and everything. Worked great. Wtf 😒 I was so busy buying that rainbow vacuum they had for 20 bucks

[@propicker]

Ah, that's a shame. $10 is a killer deal on it.

[@birdbathbetty9596]

All Robot Coupe items will ALWAYS bring good money. I just sold a food processor without any acessories for $320. Also, don't feel bad saying Goodwill is overpriced, they aren't helping themselves or the community with their absurdly high prices. They need to be outed. Ever wonder why you don't find the sale color much? Because they go pull them from the shelves, and throw them away!! anyone reading this, ask a Goodwill employee, they will confirm its true

a few weeks ago I picked up a sealed promo copy of a vhs that initially I found a listing for on ebay for $800. I was, of course ecstatic but certainly didn't believe the copy I had was worth that much. upon further investigation I discovered, after using different key words, that my copy was only REALLY worth around $40. perhaps the person who did the $1k listing made a mistake or is some kind of maniac. I'd use it as a starting point but probably not as gospel (unless you KNOW the item is worth that much)

[@YTSkeptic]

@Chuck The listing is probobly by a seller who participates in a ring to pump and dump the prices using fraudulent actuals. The profit margins and volume of sales appear to make such effort worthwhile. Of course, there's the theory that at least some of the sales at ridiculous prices are money laundering.
