High Value Items Found While Thrifting to Sell on Ebay and Amazon FBA!

[@glittergirlturner]

I'm super grateful for your channel. I've been reselling for years but have mostly stuck to the same type of items. You've given me so much information on things to look for. I recently came across 5 vintage board games for $1ea. Sold 1 of them for $80 yesterday. I would've never thought about looking up board games if it wasn't for your videos.

[@iamcalvinkelly1334]

Yep board games are good and typically under $3.00

[@ThriftSchool]

Im glad I can help! Thats why I do these videos, well that and to help solve my work from home boredom lol. I enjoy responding to comments and hearing great stories like this from people like you! Thanks for watching and I hope you stick around!

[@colleenhoperue5538]

Thank you sir,for this video.My late mother and I shopped at the branch in Trenton, and I still do.Such great memories

[@TheSourceForce]

You forgot about the sales colors off on some of that clothing was 50% off. When the store has a bunch of colors with sales, I take a snap shot of it with my phone instead of trying to remember all the colors and % off

[@kathleenbyers932]

Geat idea

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

Another great video. There are so many people that film and do a quick recap but I really appreciate the live commentary.

[@ThriftSchool]

Thanks! I do the best I can :)

[@dakotaflora6998]

Mom and pop stores are the best. I have one about an hour from me that i hit once a week. $3 for a paper bag of whatever you can fit in it. 3 bags for the price of 2 . Amazingly I almost always find high end stuff there too. Took me about a year and a half of full time thrifting and talking to other resellers to find this place. These places are out there!!! Best advice I ever got was from a gentleman at the retirement home I used to work at who owned multiple businesses. Don't be afraid to tell people what you do. Worst thing anyone will say is "oh that's nice" but you will find many people that will give you tips and advice but more importantly you will find some that will do business with you. I got that tip while standing in line at a goodwill and have likely made tens of thousands from it with pennies into the product.

[@Daltondoubledeuce]

We have that thrift store too, prices crazy high. On nice Allen Edmonds dress shoes they put anti theft tag right thru leather.

[@fossil-bit8439]

Wow I love how thrift stores take free donations and mark up their inventory up like crazy so when they run a half off day you’re basically paying regular price. Places like that need to just go out of business.

[@sheilabennett7304]

That store is PROUD of their items....those prices are jacked up!

[@AlisaWhiteheart]

I have a funny story with that shower cleaner. One time after a shower I push the button to start it. My uncle hears it and decides to see how it worked... instead of opening the furthest sliding door. He opens the door where it's hanging and gets sprayed 3 times before he closes the door

[@stephsuniverse]

Whew. High prices. Unbelievable. Thanks for the great tips!

[@iamcalvinkelly1334]

Salvation Army in my area prices are through the roof. And they hardly have customers ever

[@stephsuniverse]

@@iamcalvinkelly1334 It's crazy how much some of these thrift stores charge. My GW is a little pricey. My SA used to have 50% off everything on Saturdays. They changed that within the last 6 months or so since a new boss took over. I can still get 50% off clothes, but I'm burnt out on doing clothes. I have a death pile. I would like some other good stuff. LOL.

[@iamcalvinkelly1334]

@@stephsuniverse yeah clothes are what I go to when i cant find inventory. I try to stick to vintage clothing. By the way looks like you got a nice channel. I'm going to subscribe and check some of your vids out later. Maybe you could look at mine and tell me what you think!😀

[@ThriftSchool]

thanks for watching! Sometimes the prices are crazy bad, and sometimes they are crazy good! It just depends who is in the back pricing that day

Orange or Lime essential oil will take the sharpie off and the essential oil evaporates so no staining. Don't use it on plastic though pure citrus essential oil eats plastic.

Trying to get to 1k subs in 2020. Been watching your channel a long time and you are definitely one of my favorites to watch! Learned a ton from you! You been killing it with the local marketplace pickups! Great job!

those fight night boxing games are definitely something worth grabbing if you can find it cheap... they are a decent enough flip.

Ive sold a whole bunch in the past. They have been dropping in price sadly, but im sure a few are still worth it.

[@joebullock924]

I found a graphic novel that had a super high rank on amazon that is going for over $200. Went and checked on ebay and they are selling for around $20. Inflation I guess?

[@BorderlineBryan]

Do you just carry your camera around in thrift stores? And when u film, do people usually give u a look or an eye.

[@iamcalvinkelly1334]

It's kind of awkward, at first. Maybe a look or two but its actually not that bad!

I used to use my camera but I was actually told by 2 thrift stores near me not to record lol, so I switched to using my phone because it looks less suspicious. So all of my recent recordings have been on my Samsung Note 9. I am also silent while recording so Im not annoying anyone and I do a voiceover in almost all of my recent thrifting videos. I started doing this because a bunch of the stores near me play music very loud and I dont want to get a copyright claim on my channel.

Wow. Shower cleaner is an awesome find. I found and sold one once. Nice flip!

[@GroverJ83]

The Mizzen+Main is a good find,but that Ralph Lauren Polo might be hard to move. Ross/Marshall/Burlington places are flooded with 15-20 dollar range Ralph Lauren Golf Polo's.

[@ThriftSchool]

It helps that it is 100% wool and a XXL though

[@ryanstepp7869]

I work in a high end men’s fashion store and we sell Jonnie-O and it flys off the shelf. Also sell Mizzen & Main and they sell great as well.

[@xTheCommodore]

What's the deal with the shower cleaner? Have those things been discontinued or something? I remember my roommate buying one in college and it was fairly useless so I'm surprised to see there's such a market for them!

[@Joseph.S.Roberts]

Be on the lookout for NCAA 14, comps go for $100 on eBay!

[@freidaadams7956]

Even though we thrifts love seeing your video's it's becoming a double edge sword, it's getting noticed by places like Goodwill and many thrift stores that resellers are buying items cheap and selling on-line higher so they have increased their prices higher.

Morning, quick question. I just got a jfj pro and I am getting a ring of scratches around the center ring that has the ps2/xbox logos. It's not the one cause by the disc nut, it's on the "data part" of the disc. It only appears to happen when I use the fine sandpaper disc. The rest of the disc looks good.Any ideas why, would appreciate the help.

Peppi Holliday Actually (took me a while to figure out too) all the price tags have .99 printed on them, so it would be $4.99 😅 what a way to trick people

[@ThriftSchool]

Exactly. They show a huge number $4 but in tiny letters there is a .99 and theres still tax on top of it so it might look like $4 but in total it would cost me $5.31 since our tax is 6.35% in CT. And then if I want a bag for everything its an extra 10 cents per bag in CT as well.
