That is what many people don't understand...how long resellers spend in the thrift stores...HOURS at a time. It's fun, but it's also hard work!

[@saramiller1371]

What thrift store has all those awesome brands! I need to find one like that in my area! ❤

[@lynettebunac9565]

But you can’t rely on comps. You have to look at sold items. People will price things arbitrarily, but the item is only worth what a person is willing to pay for them. So other people might think think ooo, but it’s not, shes probably sitting on so many items.

[@PixelGameSquad]

Editing your videos just make me happy lowkey ❤😂

You edits make all of us highkey happy! 😊😂

Griff’s picture snips in this video were *chef’s kiss*

[@abigailhill9189]

I hate when stores like this, that run off donated items price things up so high. It’s getting to the point where even if you weren’t buying to resell the discount is barely worth getting the item.

[@sharylanne7738]

Well ppl like this woman caused that

[@KhaiGG1222]

I agree 100 percent. Thrift stores are no longer affordable, except on their discounted colors. They have started looking at comps also and pricing accordingly. People who can't afford to buy new, also can't afford used.

[@Bebedollie]

Lolol not being rude but it's because of resellers like this . I know shes making a living but thrift stores hate it when the resellers are making alot more money for an item they sell for a few dollars,remember thrift stores were originally for poor low income families so they can have nice stuff too. Thrift stores may get everything donated but don't blame them . Blame resellers for making channels like this and showing off all the money they make. I don't mean to be rude but it's true. As well as making a profit on the stuff they get cheap they also make money from their channels.

[@carolinez8634]

It's starting to be more expensive to shop at goodwill than others stores that only sell new items.

[@carolinez8634]

Not in Wisconsin. Our goodwils don't even put the expensive items in our stores. They are put for sale online at high prices. They are for profit now. My son went through their employment training.

[@kaleeallred7229]

I loved running into you this day!! You’re amazing and were so kind. I hope I run into you again sometime!

[@brendamitchell4915]

Ashley, I would love it if you would make a video that shows us how you clean up your items that need cleaning, like that backpack, shoes, and handbags. I'm at a loss when it comes to this and have managed to ruin so many items trying to clean them. A photography video would be great too. I love watching your videos and I learn so much already. I appreciate you and all of your hard work.

[@HustleatHomeMom]

I will! I'll make a short form video series about how I clean stuff!

My daughter & I went to an estate sale today at a multimillion $$ home-OMG. All the banger brands you mentioned were there in spades, tons of NWT. Super high prices still but I could hear you in my mind ..” OH MY GOD GUYS…” LOL You teach me something every single video. I enjoy your energy & how you keep it real ❤

[@DaydreamAboutNiceThings]

We would like to see a video of you repairing and cleaning items. We hear you talk about doing that a lot and some of the stuff you say you fix looks impossible lol. Thanks for making these awesome videos !

[@HustleatHomeMom]

I will do more! I always feel like that's too boring and no one would care lol - but clearly it's something people want to see!

[@mythoughts6922]

Your so knowledgeable! When I go to thrift for resale, I know a decent amount of brands. But you're a genius and make it look easy!

[@user-ye8lj4cb8c]

omg I had the SAME experience at my local small thrift. I go there almost weekly. Rare to find "big brands" there but I find lots of items I buy for myself and some to resell. The other day, did my usual FULL browse of over 30 minutes (who am I kidding, it's often a full hour or more in the small shop). I am about to head out but I turn to glance at the rack of tops and there is JOHNY WAS!!! What???! $8 yeah, baby. Now to get it listed!

[@Gardeningchristine]

Some of my thrift stores stock up once a week like on Sunday and Monday they’re closed and Tuesday is the best day to find stuff, but they also put stuff out throughout the week, but major restock on Tuesday.

[@lafatlifetx]

SO PROUD OF ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR ALL RESELLING MAMAS LIKE MYSELF!

[@rexmharris]

Savers has gone even more insane with their prices on clothes in recent months. Especially any well known name brands.

[@jenniferjones7395]

Just watched one of your older videos, it was one that you shared about your ups and downs and the struggles of being a new mom, It really got to me so I thought I had to let you know, That you have inspired me to do better with my everyday life and my kids and evrything even though , my kids unfortunately are alot older now my youngest is 14 and my others are 18 ,20 and 23 , I still have those days running around doing errands house work ,on top of my job its a lot even though they do most everything them selfs it has it other challenges and I have days I get up set with them I think am I a bad mom because I have to tell them no or what ever and get depressed but I , I think back to the days that they were young . It goes by so so so fast, and I would love to go back for even just a day. But I just love watching you it is kind of my me time to relax and take a breather . Anyway , I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing the videos. I hope they keep coming.

[@HustleatHomeMom]

I appreciate your kind comment more than I can articulate! Thank you. It is such a struggle to balance and I am pretty sure I’m messing up each day but I keep trying to do the best I can. That’s all we can do, right? ❤

[@KayKrazie]

I just picked up a khul jacket yesterday because I watch your video. You're literally the best.

[@ayoung8072]

I like that you will spend a little more to impress your buyers, your knowledgeable, tasteful, care, your not ripping off, plus you care about your kids, they come with you, no problem to you, when you must! That’s a true business your offering and I believe you should be blessed, as I pray for your future, don’t change!

[@libertyhinkle1346]

You are my fav KZbinr! Thanks for another video. It's rainy season here in the South so ruining yard sale days 😑

[@JewelsNcrime]

Savers is not just from donations, I'm located in Massachusetts and my stores buy inventory also. They buy bales of used clothes so they do have a cost in some inventory. Also I believe they operate as a for profit organization so the up price makes sense.

[@ExplorerBen7]

Yes the one by me will buy up clothes from goodwill on discount days to sell for higher prices.

[@lilliekat4U]

I always enjoy watching your videos!! I did not realize a couple of the brands you found sold for what they do and I think I just might have passed up before. I try to look everything up and will continue to do even more after seeing this. It was great to see lil Crewie! I got used to seeing him in your videos when he was so little. Hopefully TJ will be able to join you thrifting soon as well and also include your other 2 boys... You have such a beautiful family!!! Happy Mother's Day to you on Sunday!!!!

[@lisamcglone3110]

Haha! The blue wilfred bodysuit on your comp check was my listing. 😅

[@crewinsideout3005]

I have a love hate relationship with Savers! I love the items they get, but I hate their crazy prices. I do shop there to get items to resell but only once in a while. You’re such an incredible trooper getting all of the process done on one day!!! That’s a lot of work! I am inspired 😊 & my goal is to do that next time I go thrift.

[@angelamurphy7969]

Do you make most of your money making content on utube than actual thrifting and reselling? How long did it take you to build your channel? What platforms do you sell on?

[@enidpolanco8627]

I went to savers the other day and found 2 Rhodes dresses they were 13 dollars each with the 20% off and one already sold for 145.00 and I hate going to savers because they are so overpriced

[@LifeOrdinary87]

For the longest I thought it was Marmot lol. I finally listened hard enough to get it. I found one tuckernuck dress and it did well and sold fast.

[@juliem2842]

Mammut and Marmot are both good brands 😊

I was thinking that Markey striped nautical blouse looked like vintage Tommy colours. Then the Tommy shorts came along to prove me right. 😁

Goodwills are closed at night and there is no overnight crew. I've worked at 2 different stores. They stock shelves up until 1-2 hours before closing and then start stocking again first thing in the morning when they open.

Have been watching your videos for ages and love every single one - you're the most enjoyable thrifter to watch. I used to do pallets in the UK (which is how I found you), but watching all your videos I've always wanted to go to a thrift store since coming to the US. So at the weekend I went to my first goodwill! It was an experience 😉 I had "this is the first time I've ever found this in the wild" going through my head every time I went to the tag on a new item 😂 love what you do but could never do it myself, so I enjoy living vicariously through your videos! (your family is so lovely btw) xx

Regardless of comps other resale persons on KZbin DON’T pick up any clothing that is damaged like those tan pants with a snag on them! You will learn that they will stay on your shelf a very long time! Reason being, you need to notify about the snag on the pants.

[@deleila_charlie2068]

I think it depends on the thrift store. Where I work, we restock all day but we're lacking volunteers badly and so we don't restock as much as we want because we also clean every item.

I watched that Antique Roadshow episode, I loved that older man, imagine how that changed his life! I just found linen Wilfred shorts at the St Vincent thrift for $6…almost didn’t get them because they raised their prices from $4 to $6 and they were an XS, but on my way out on the free table I found a nice Free People top! So….it was OK! I can’t move my Tommy Hilfiger to save my soul, but the board shorts were cool, probably always good. Good Eileen Fisher finds

Have two questions (Just found you recently and I'm loving your videos) 1) Do you go through the trouble of washing and doing a half cycle on dryer (so things don't discolor or shrink anymore) to deodorize things, make them smell clean? Like, do you clean or deodorize any items, iron them to get wrinkles out? Etc? 2) And other question is, Do you List/Post the ACTUAL size on clothing tag, Or what size it ACTUALLY looks like? Like, you'll see a tee thats says "XL" in women's, but you KNOW it looks more like a Medium or Large because of all the washer and dryer cycles it's been through, So do you Just list the tag size every time, or do you ever put in description notes that it looks smaller than the tag size? - Really curious about these 2 questions

[@theWearyWarrior2023]

Do you ever get burned out? What do you do to overcome that?

[@HustleatHomeMom]

All the time. I burn out when I stop getting excited about what I'm doing, or if I've just been living in my head for too long and stewing on negative thoughts. But I've found the best way out of burnout for me is kind of counterintuitive - it's to get my death pile sorted, clean my office, list what I need to, and donate the rest. Once things are cleaner and more organized, that burnout feeling goes away and I feel like I'm excited to get after it again!
