Thrifting the "Worst" Goodwill Ever...

[@Claudia-uz5pl]

Hi, guys! Just so you know, the dancing figure with the flute you referred to as Australian, is actually Kokopelli a figure from Southwestern Native American heritage. I lived it Tucson, AZ for 7 years and he was everywhere!

[@deniseleavitt6630]

Was coming to say the same thing. I love Kokopelli! I’m in Utah and he is here as well.

[@bethb7965]

I'm back in PA now but lived in AZ a while ago. Kokopelli is on my living room wall.

[@ryandavidson3769]

I made it in the video! It was really nice meeting you both. Hope you had fun at the event.

[@HairyTornado]

Yeah great to meet you! We had a great time

[@JunkinTheTrunkCFL]

CFL Goodwills gouge like crazy! You have to be patient, have a good eye and be in the right place at the right time. The struggle is REAL!! Glad y'all had fun while you were here! 🙏✌️

[@TDArulesclub4]

Letting everyone know right now, this is thrifting in California too. I'm still able to be a reseller by going to yard sales, flea markets and my thrift shop discounts/coupons (though a bit rare there), but yes, everything is priced like that here too. Savers, Goodwill, local thrift shops, you name it. The location rents are high and min wages are $15-$17, not counting also sales tax that we pay, they really do try to get as much money as they can from their stuff.

[@carolwilliams8840]

Wow, those Goodwill prices are ridiculous. I live in Chicago and our prices for plush are $1-$4.99. I got a brand new Squishmallow with tags from there for $4.99 and sold it for $159 plus shipping. Also got a crystal bowl for $2.49 and took and took an offer for $200. Glad you all were able to find something.

[@briannacorrigan1256]

I used to live near Chicago and I miss those prices. This goodwill is now my closest goodwill and it sucksssssss. I was shocked when I moved here how ridiculous prices are.

[@LilTempo25]

Damn what squishmallow was that? Crazy good deal!

[@hanktank10]

I was a part-time reseller that sourced pretty much exclusively in North and East Orlando. There is a lot of stuff that is head scratchingly high prices, but good things are out there! You just have to stay with it!

[@cooperjones4255]

Crazy how they price things as if they paid for it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@janicewuitschick4599]

Go figure

[@danielramos6325]

Same here

[@brandonbrown6918]

I live in North Florida. They increased the price 2 times last year alone....rarely gotto goodwill now. Have to head to thrift stores that are holes in the wall

[@semperfi-1918]

My 2 main locations its all about whos doing the prices. Ive mentioned many times the two types of people and how to move the merch. Sometimes i get lucky other times... not so much.

[@retroworld1971]

With free staff and often subsidised rent etc 😮 Criminal !!!

[@sfq7675]

Welcome to Goodwill shopping in most of the country. They're regionally run, so I'd prepare for the quality of yours to nosedive when management changes at some point in the future.

[@cheryl8962]

I always enjoy how you guys ideantify all the plushes, action figures, funko pops by charcter names. I have never heard of hardly any of them unless they are vintage (like me obviously...lol). Love you both and Mose!!! ❤

[@Momo-jc9yo]

Love the Hayley wave at the end! Excited for the rest of the FL trip series!

[@brandonetter1426]

That bag of mini Harry Potter funko came out of an advent calendar. I have those lol

[@barbarndt6102]

I love that Wild Wild West t shirt. It was a tv show that was on in the 70’s. I used to watch it all the time. Actually have a poster of Robert Conrad hanging in my garage from a birthday party someone threw for me about 10 years ago. How cool!!!

[@flippin-lutz584]

Welcome to Florida Thrift Store shopping. 90% of things are way over priced and nothing is a set price per category. Most thrift stores look things up and price them accordingly. Especially Goodwills and other for profit stores. You’re way better off hitting garage sales for good deals. Regardless, have fun in Florida while you’re here!

[@Tony_3XL]

Bet they go listed and not sold to boot 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Frank-x1g]

Live in SFLA and it's true. Stores are barren here.

[@beckypetersen2680]

Can't wait to see the flea market one. Yes, I'm from central Florida and the Goodwills are crazy unless they are having a sale. Thanks for showing all that to us. I didn't realize there was a Goodwill bins store around there.

[@somethingoldsomethingnew2199]

In central NY, we don't have very many Goodwill stores. I have to drive into Syracuse to get to one and they're usually filled with broken junk unfortunately. We have other thrift stores though, like Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and individually owned ones. My favorite thing is that a lot of churches in my area have thrift stores, ours included. I know ours gives a lot of stuff away for free when a family has a house fire or emergency of some kind. That's the kind of heart and soul that Goodwill stores lack.

[@steven1811]

I am shocked Ithaca does not have much to offer. Albany has some great finds.

[@somethingoldsomethingnew2199]

@@steven1811 Albany does have great thrift stores! I spent many summers at my grandparents house in Latham and my aunt knew where to shop. I was a teenager the last time I went shopping with my aunt so I don't remember a lot, just that we had so much fun. It sucks getting old!

[@lhodge1000]

Yay for a new video! Glad to see y’all having fun Goodwill hopping 🙂. Hanna Anderson is a good brand. I’m pretty sure they’re known for being organic.

[@ppshale7223]

I lived in Orlando in 1975, loved the weather, you couldn't pay me to live there now. Love your video, have fun.😊

[@pickandaprayer]

Welcome to California! Whooops! You are in Florida! The prices are similar to those in Cali! Glad you shared had a great trip!❤

[@MooreIncome]

Gotta love it when thrift stores price things way to high. But no matter how high they get, there will always be an opportunity somewhere to make a profit!

[@malloyd72]

It looked like you were golfing at Shades of Green. The wildlife there is always incredible...deer, turkeys, bobcats, alligators, peacocks...always see awesome things there. Love it there and we are heading there this weekend!! Great video as usual!!

[@collinsonthemove]

Soo glad you guys had a good time while you were here 🤗

[@chhook949]

Looks like a good time had by all at the Seminar/Meetup. Great that you were able to get out and golf with your friends and to be joined by Jon & Ashley! Hope they bought you all lunch getting their cart out of the ditch🫣😳⛳️ Seriously the prices in the Fl Goodwills off the charts! Hoping all’s well with Kim and her son. All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

[@user_carolyn]

As always, fantastic finds. Fantastic video 💯 thank you ❤

[@loriballew3512]

That vintage ornament you said looked like a science model can sell for decent money on it's own probably around $10-12. I would also google image the one with the camel and the one with the sea creatures. They could be something worthwhile to sell separately. Some of the thrift stores I go to, sell big boxes of miscellaneous ornaments for like $5 and I sort them out and lot them in gallon bags, bubble wrapping whatever needs it, and just sell them that way. Always a good profit in them. Good luck!

[@jeffeidson2526]

I've sold those for decent money. Apparently they were kits you bought then put together back in the 70's.

[@loriballew3512]

I didn't know that they were from kits. I know the more detailed they are, the more money they sell for, I'm always on the lookout! lol @@jeffeidson2526

Now you can see why we have a hard time thrifting in this area I love the bins or go to smaller town around Orlando I love to watch you and Haley

[@ontheflipside7482]

I can't believe your hitting my old stores. I used to live in Orlando when I worked for Disney and used to hit those exact Thrift stores weekly. I found TONS of great items to sell on eBay back in the day. Lots of great memories of these places.

[@JD_CoolStuff]

Love the Hairy's Tomatoes shirt! lol

[@scottstewart6217]

Some of those prices are crazy and that stuff rhat doesn't sell ends up at the bins anyway just doesn't make any sense.. Love the Hairy Tomato's T Shirt 🤣🤣👍🇦🇺🦘

[@ElmoBug]

You"ll will end up seeing most of overpriced items at the bins soon! Goodwill is completely out of their minds.

[@AndreaGrinoldsSoap]

Yup, I dig things with 20$ price tags on them all the time. Even got an armani c jacket that had a tag for 68...I'm hoping to get 68 lol

[@martielewiggins2885]

Hello there you two.. it was really awesome seeing you both thrifting in Florida. I love shopping at "The Community Thrift" myself. Too bad you weren't having a meet up in Orlando. That would have been nice 😊. I'm from the area. Yes you guys, some pf the Goodwill and thrift stores in Orlando and the surrounding areas are a bit pricey, unfortunately. I've enjoyed being a subscriber viewing and sharing your videos. So keep them coming. Safe travels to you both. Prayer to you as well. "GO GATORS "! Martie W. From Florida

Nice putt Josh! Great video!

[@bettygriffiths6929]

Hi Josh & Haley! In my opinion and I live in the Northeast the Goodwill stores are very disappointing lately... I buy bags of yarn and I can order on sale online yarn new with its content attached for less than goodwill yarn.

[@bonniesmith8955]

I think it's crazy in general what "thrift stores" charge. As always you find great stuff. Love the variety.

Beautiful shot Josh!

[@Apexflipper]

[@lisak1994]

The figure on the bag isn't Australian. It's Native American. Kokopelli is depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head), who is venerated by some Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music.

[@mushafugga]

Florida has the most ridiculously high prices. but, always full of Disney & Universal items lol - also! Castaway Cay is pronounced Castaway "Key" :D Nice finds. Hope y'all are havin' fun in a decently cool Florida!

The Central Florida Goodwills are off the chain when it comes to pricing! And the bins are so different than your bins. Lots of rules!😳😳

Gotta love thrift stores pricing known fake bags for $30+ 🙄 lol ....$13 for a Minnie plush???... and that Shoe wall ...WHAT in the actual😂🤯 really cool seeing the deer/ bobcat encounter! Nice that you all got some golf in ✨Cheers from Greenville SC ✨

[@sharona3048]

Hanna Andersson sells consistently for me. I found a Disney Hanna Andersson dress in really good condition. It took about 5 months to sell. I was actually surprised it didnt sell sooner since it was a collaboration, but I was happy with the price I got (about $18 plus shipping).

Prices here in Oregon can be insane. I felt lucky when I found a jacket for work for $10 when everything else was $25. Only reason it was so cheap is because it was unbranded.

[@elizabethu8275]

I'm in Bend, Or and it's disgusting! I won't go into Goodwills here. I have never seen prices so high in my life for used items. Most other thrift stores here are high as well.

[@LyricsQuest]

Wow, thought it was bad in Spokane with the dynamic range for coats between 5.99 - 9.99 depending on the brand/item, but $25 across the board? wow.

[@karennagel-smith6648]

That “little guy” thing that you found is a Kokopeli. It’s a fertility god! LOL!

[@joycehauke6027]

The three little guys on the bag, from the bins are Kokopelli. A Kokopelli is Native American fertility God, mostly from tribes in the Southwest. You see alot of them around the Vegas area.

[@lindahenderson5651]

Thanks for letting people know the realistic prices of stores in other places. Denver is absolutely on the same scale (if not more) than Florida. It's also nice to see you having competitive fun outside of thrifting. [Kokopelli is the name of the figure .. looks like blowing a flute]

[@HairyTornado]

I’ve heard Denver has great bins though

[@lindahenderson5651]

BINS: Depends on how aggressive YOU are. I hate being elbowed, shoved, cursed, etc. (Denver is a heavy gun-toting locale), and just like stand-alone stores, it is extremely difficult to find good items anymore. Mostly Flea market vendors who are now really struggling and trying to sell at yard sales (during warm months). And FYI.. Plush are by the pound. Also convinced that people in the back are paid (under the table). Too much to write.

[@erinbarclay5316]

I’m in Canada and our thrift store Value Village, has insane prices. I saw a large Cinderella pyrex bowl there this week, it was in awful condition and the pattern wasn’t one people really want. They wanted $36.99 🇨🇦for it. They don’t put any good items on the shelves anymore they usually put them on thier auction site. Crazy… I guess they are trying to be an antique store now… Thank you both for another great video. Sending love from 🇨🇦

How did I know yall where in Florida?! I shop a store about an hourish north of orlando and it is way over priced too. I talked to the previous manager of my store (the guy in charge before the price hike) and he said the regional people had just told them to start charging more. He left shortly after that, and the store became packed right with the price hikes. People just don't buy like they used to. I go in occasionally just to look and I never see the regulars that were there before. I'm waiting for them to realize its over priced and I can shop again. I used to go 4 days a week and spend a couple hundred per trip. It was a great place to source.
