fyi just so every one knows, goodwill throws 80 to 85% of all donated items in a compactor dumpster. just think of other places to take it where you know it will or can be used by someone

[@TheFreshPeddler]

GW also gets alot of trash donations. Even in nice areas, people too often donate nasty roached crap. I recently heard some angry lady griping like her 15 year old roached shoes are treasure when they werent enthused to take them and the rest of her trash. They gave in just to get rid of her.

Mall brands are generally ish to avoid in resale clothing but... when its almost free that goes out the window.

Awesome haul! I bought out a k-mart when my local one closed and was 95% off. My favorite day of sourcing ever thus far

Can anyone go to these and buy, or is by lottery or an appointment. I live in Missouri where I think some businesses are closing this year here.

Been watching you since you went viral, Rabbit, and as someone who works in labour, you've got my utmost respect for the amount of work and effort you put into your job. Keep it up, these videos are something I look forward to seeing!

[@brendaryan306]

Weird that Once Upon a Child closed. Maple Grove, MN store was packed the other day and I bought a lot of needed items. Not a lot of clothes being purchased, but it's the go-to spot for shoes, toys and items like booster seats, strollers, etc. Your joke definitely fits sending your son to NDSU. Go Bison!

[@alechunt1628]

Rabbit I want to truly thank you for the video. I went into a gymboree outlet store that was closing today and bought 28000 worth of retail clothes for 97% off. All because I watched your video! Thank You!!

[@ResaleRabbit]

Wow! I can’t believe they had that much left in stock!

[@BunklesWorld]

Great video! I lived/worked in the Appleton/Neenah area for about 2 years, and I would have to say that shopping in that area for resale (thrifts, store, Once Upon and Platos, garage/rummage/yard sales) was one of the best I have found in the US. Really miss the area - not only for resale stuff, but it is one of the most underestimated places to live in the US. Good people, great food (Machine shed - great stuff!; Milwaukee Burger - crazy huge burger challenge), best supermarket in the country (Woodmans) - and being back home for now - really miss Culvers/Toms! Good luck hunting out there!

[@DaliwolfBacon]

Bison...(rolls eyes and groans). This was a very interesting look into what happens to stores when they close. I always wondered what happened to the stuff that was left over when a store closed. Thanks for showing this to us!

'I find it odd and annoying they close two stores on the same day' They dont make a lot of money selling at 98%, its kinda a last resort. They make a lot more at 90% and 95%. They will be hoping the people buying at those higher margins see the other dying shop and go there too.

Well done for your charity donations. A really good video today. It's new for me to see you do store clear outs.

[@forevergogo]

How do you FIND Store Closings? I always hear about them too late, show up on their last day or two open, pick over all the picked items, get a handful of things at 80-90% off. Great prices, sure, but I have a Lot of fun doing it- and its not even for resale, its just fun and money saving. I just wish there was like a website or something that put up stores going through liquidation sales.

[@ResaleRabbit]

Local news always talks about it. That, and people post / share it on Facebook. I don’t really look, I just happen to find out about them.

On-line is putting them all out of business! Kinda sucks! Gotta wonder - will there be malls 10-15 years from now??

[@ikmalizzatjohari6475]

Pretty sure they will, but only the new ones. Most old ones are close to closing. In my place the only reason a very old mall is there because there's a 15 floor office on top. The only people who sells there now are specialty shops (tailors, very expensive sports centre, gym, a very good and cheap electronic repair shop, handmade leather shoes, etc). Kinda think because the rent is cheap. No one really goes there unless for the shops as above

[@heartlandranchtv4943]

Malls are going to be around for a long time to come, however, _indoor_ malls are a dying species as they cost a fortune to build and operate. Outdoor malls are far more cost effective, so that is where developers are investing their money these days. Online retail has shifted the market considerably, but the convenience of physical retail is still in high demand.

[@happyfablesart]

Maybe but it will be more of an experience.

Hey, Rabbit, I have warehouse envy. How big is your warehouse and what do you pay (approx) per month? Where I am at in FL, a 10x20 with a side door goes for $500 a month. Too steep for a beginner like me, but I am dreaming big!

[@ResaleRabbit]

I pay $3500 for 7000 feet. 10x20 for $500 (assuming it’s got heat and a bathroom) isn’t too bad. The bigger you get, the smaller your cost per square foot.

[@kathleenhazy6126]

Shelly Johnson yeah, you’re spot on about Florida. I live in Orlando and the two malls we have are crazy busy all the time. No matter the day, it like Christmas time trying to find a parking spot. I try not to complain because I know they will be closing up in time, as well.

[@SusanBrooklyn]

Ok, I am in the dark. Are most malls actually closing?? Is it because of online buying? I hope not. There's no beating when you need to buy something and you want it now. And you want to feel it. Try it on. Test it. Whatever. Online purchasing cant do this 😕
