How I Make Charity Shop Finds Pay The Bills!

[@brie-vk2rw]

i love how your so confident to walk through the towns and the charity shops and talk into the camera, i struggle to talk to people on facetime without getting nervous

[@Chaddypete]

😂😂 I have lost my sense of shame

[@ianmarsden8568]

Thanks for the video and for sharing your knowledge. It looks like you are just walking round charity shops buying stuff. But in each shop you give out so much information about why you buy or how you avoid the pitfalls - must be about 20 pieces of information and all are so on point. Cheers.

[@Chaddypete]

Thank you so much for that! I’m not really into making these videos to show off, I personally think if share the information, I’ll end up learning more as I go along so I’m glad that is helping! Thank you again for supporting the channel.

[@mcjaystar]

Just made my first step last week to buy items and try my luck at this and I spent £40 on items sold £215 worth (not all my stuff) cost me £35 to send so a tidy profit it was your channel that gave me the courage to do it

[@angelikabehrend9565]

[@Oddballkane]

I used to work in a charity shop and most have a date system where they swop things with other shops. So if the date on it says 30.07.2023 thats the date they take the items off and new items from another shop show up. So, check the tags and then once you see the date go in the day after and you can find a whole host of new things.

That’s really helpful thank you!

Cheers for watching! To be fair Charity Shops have always known about resellers, it’s the resellers job to always stay ahead of the game and find items that have been undervalued 🔥

[@MAXEMUSCO]

@@Chaddypete yeah tbh I heard you say that and it does make sense as well as the hunt that bit more challenging. I’m fairly new to the charity shop thrifting but my missus has always loved a charity shop. You got a new member of ya YT Famalam now. 💯🤜🏼

Once again, great content. Just out of curiosity, how far do you travel to source from charity shops? I tend to only hunt from my local ones where my face has become too familiar

[@MAXEMUSCO]

@@Worldboss1 tbh I personally only visit local ones but when out n about I sometimes venture into the unknown. I also agree that staff will become familiar quickly with a regular reseller and once they do it can result in not as many results. But as said in this video you have to look for those that have been missed! 🤜🏼

Another great video. Been out myself today and must admit i struggle to find one item to make money on. All charity shops seem to check and price up the good stuff or ebay it themselves.

[@Chaddypete]

The shops tend to know most items but there are always shops that don’t care and price low anyway as they know it’s free and its better to turn stock over, rather than try and get home run sales!

[@tombworld8873]

[@northyresells]

Levis are funny with their jeans, with modern ones, if they have a little label stitched into the inner waistband which says Levi’s premium then they are higher quality/ high street stock. Ones without are outlet stock :)

Hi. Just found your channel and love it! What is the 5:1 ratio

[@Chaddypete]

Hi thanks for your message! It’s a simple formula I use to quickly think of something is worth buying. Example, if I see something priced at 7.99, I multiply it by 5 then check to see if I could make that amount on the item, in this case it would around £40. It means I avoid buying just because it’s there and wasting money
