I Made Over $2,000 in One Week Going to Goodwill

My quest to go to 70 thrift stores in one week sure is difficult. What will I end up buying to flip for a profit on ebay?

Even though I'm no longer selling, I enjoy watching your videos. Truth be told, I still have the itch to go out and source stuff to sell. I just don't have the time or patience anymore. After being scammed on a major item, it just killed the fun in it. You guys keep going strong!!

[@propicker]

Sorry to hear about you getting scammed. Thanks for watching the video!

[@susancousins8766]

That was awesome, but I know you have to be beat. You found some really great items to resell and make some good money. Congratulations Dustin! Have a fantastic weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@propicker]

Thanks! You too!

[@user-cx1fg4kz1q]

Nice videos!!!!! Happy hunting!!

[@propicker]

Thanks!!

[@christinaarmstrong4482]

Great finds! I think that you should go to the bins for a couple of hours for one of your videos and dig for treasures. I love the bins and I find so much good stuff to resell there, but it does take time to dig through everything. Lots of resellers make their money solely on bins items.

[@buffalo-biff]

I sat at home, bought a pallet of new crap, and made $2500. You win 😅

[@gaylefrankenberg8892]

Great video! You do go above and beyond for us, thank you.

[@propicker]

thanks for watching!

[@19590]

I couldnt be a reseller. It rquires too much work. I am tired just from watching. Admire all you can do, l couldnt. Great video! 🥳❤

[@propicker]

Thank you!!

[@wanderingspider8988]

Being successful period requires work. No matter what you do if you ever want to get anywhere in life it requires putting in time and dedication unless your just lucky and have generational money.

[@kimross6279]

Good challenge 😊. Now time to get a lil rest.

[@propicker]

Thanks Kim!

[@flipmanthefantastic]

Keep that 🔥coming Dustin.

[@terrygermany2670]

I always love watching your videos! All the best!

[@rogerfederer3817]

this series must have been confusing as heck to edit I appreciate the sweet content tho koolkat

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, this one was by far my most ambitious edit.

[@veteranpicker238]

What a crazy trip, I would have been burned out after the halfway point. lol nice finds for sure, but I think it showed the superiority of garage sales. I’ve predominantly always gotten my items from thrift stores but due to recent price hikes in my area I’m looking to shift that business model. Garage sales seem to be the best ROI.

[@tonybguy]

Well done 🎉

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@DawnANDERSON-bx9kf]

Thank you for sharing all those trips. It is exhausting, but once you find a few treasures, so worth it. Have a good week.

[@propicker]

Thanks Dawn! I hope you have a good week also!

[@jackiegibson5043]

Awesome video!!!

[@Momo-jc9yo]

That was some crazy thrifting! Love and appreciate your hard work!

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@TheHtownblow]

Nice hat find, we're they still putting stuff out, I would have stuck around and seen what else came out, no way that hat sat there for very long, I've found a few of the splash design at my valley for cheap, recently a with tags mighty ducks, the last one that came through though they caught, was a Cleveland Indians, they prices it at $180

[@propicker]

I don't know if they were putting more out or not. The 70-visit challenge sort of made it hard to sit around and wait at stores.

[@terrygermany2670]

Keep grinding dude!!! Make that 100,000!

[@juliaslaughter4448]

I enjoyed this challenge, thanks

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching!

[@djjamison6548]

Love the thrift stores shopping

[@DArchAngel69]

That's cool on the flight controller. Years ago I found like 4 pedals on 3 or 4 pieces of the steel battalion controller. Had to sell them all as untested but made a great profit on them. Love finding that kind of stuff, seems to get passed up on.

[@propicker]

Wow, the steel battalion joystick setup has been a bolo of mine for years. Great job finding the pieces for it! We recently bought a copy of the game and flipped it, but still looking to find the joystick setup someday.

[@DArchAngel69]

@propicker yeah. It was years ago but was still a great flip. Only paid 4 bucks for each piece. I didn't have a complete controller so I sold each piece as is. I had also found steel battalion from the same person a few weeks prior but had sold it. Lol. I miss those days.

[@flimflams6525]

i nevr find video games i literally have given up even checking the ones at my thrift cause in NJ at my goodwill they just remove and sell anything worth it online now. Or they charge the same price it goes for on ebay its BS the prices I see in these middle of the country states vs mine ugh

[@kennyrobbins7136]

Great finds and great video

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

Goodwill stores near me usually charge the same price for items you would pay on ebay

[@propicker]

Sorry to hear that

[@wearefreesd3305]

There has been a few goodwill‘s in my area that have gone ridiculous in their prices. By ridiculous I mean they are basing all their prices off of eBay. And it’s weird because I feel like they’re shooting themselves in the foot or they would rather price the item high in hopes, that that one person looking for that one specific book That cost $30 on eBay walks in and find it for $20 at their store. That’s not gonna happen. I feel like they would rather price high never sell it instead of getting two dollars for it. They would rather let it go to the bins or recycle center. it just makes no sense. I used to show up to this Goodwill and they could barely keep up in keeping their shelves stocked. Now I show up and things are overflowing. Their glass cases are so full. You can’t even see what’s in there anymore. I feel like it might take a few months maybe a year until they realize they should go back to pricing everything how they used to. I think the problem is they have hired younger people that are aware of resellers, and they have this kind of animosity or anger towards us so they price high so that we can make a buck off of them even though they’re making a buck off of donations. also, it’s not just Goodwill‘s other thrift stores are following in the same path. I can’t wait until they ask themselves “why have sales dropped”

[@propicker]

I've seen it happen over the years in a couple regions where prices shoot up and typically they'll come back down. Hopefully, that's the case for you.

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

I thought you had a good thumbnail and title in the last video. Thought you'd get some Mr. Beast numbers with it as well, surprising it "tanked" as you said. These have been two of my favorite videos of yours. I love the fast pace and different locations.

[@propicker]

Glad you enjoyed it. I think things on the thumbnails and titles of these videos were a bit off from the norm and impacted them.

[@jedi-xe2er]

Fantastic pickups

[@propicker]

Thanks!!

[@lindak361]

I am surprised you don't find more at the Bins for Whatnot. Like plush and purses.

[@propicker]

Yeah, I didn't see anything that would really fit for whatnot there. Of course, I wasn't in there too long.

[@louisianagreatgrandma650]

Loved the series.

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@bradbrinkley4760]

Dude, I'm jonesing for that Phins hat! Keep up the good work bro!

[@propicker]

Yeah, that hat was really cool! Thanks for watching!

[@debbyrusso9004]

It sounds like you getting hard winds love you guys and your Baby's ❤❤😮😮😮😊

[@Resellocity]

That’s insane. I’ve only found 1 pair of rock revival jeans.

[@michaelgausman9214]

Our Goodwill gets them all the time. Excellent condition. Sells them at $6-7. I've seen so many sell online thought I'd try my luck. Listed back then at 24.99. Had to dead pile all of them. Sold at garage sales instead. Wranglers I sell instantly. Can't keep them stocked

[@Resellocity]

@@michaelgausman9214 I find that hard to believe because Rock Revival has been a bolo for years now, and the STR is over 100%, and Wrangler has a horrible STR. Rock Revival currently has 4600 sold and 3200 listed. Wrangler has 30,000 sold and almost 92,000 listed.

[@MrShollen]

You should’ve grabbed those mi-5 dvd seasons at st Vincent. Those have some good value.

[@propicker]

I don't remember exactly why I passed, but I recently bought a couple sealed ones. They can be worth pretty good money for sure.

[@hillaryhall5482]

Dang nice hat!

[@propicker]

Yeah, that was an unexpected find for sure!

[@SquirrellyResell]

Both videos were great. Just try changing the thumbnail on the first one. Out that all important $ total on it and you’re good to go 😂

[@debbyrusso9004]

Hi friends!! ❤️❤️

[@propicker]

Hi Debby!

[@scottjohnson921]

12:57 Holy cow on the Dreamcast games! I used to have a Dreamcast a while back

[@propicker]

Yeah, this is the first time I've thrifted dreamcast in years. Crazy to find in the wild now. I had a dreamcast as well.

[@foxbasealpha]

When you buy something with a price tag sticker on it like you do in this video, do you remove it when you photograph to resell? And if so, do the stickers come off easy without effecting the surface of the packaging/surface? What happens when it doesn’t?

[@propicker]

We'll often use a small blow dryer to heat up the glue and make the stickers easier to peel off. Sometimes, if needed we will bring out the goof off / goo gone.

[@Ga_thrift_flipper]

I just recently found 34 vintage snapback hats and made some really good money all from one thrift store

[@propicker]

That's awesome!

[@premiumstreams3186]

Hey Pro Picker, just wondering what is the camera and body attachment set-up you have for recording your garage sale adventures? Thinking of doing that with my two boys just for fun. Thanks!

[@propicker]

I use a gopro hero 8 and chest mount

[@cdmikie]

Did you keep the stats? Like how many trips out of seventy were stores that you bought at, and which store gave you the most hits vs which store have the highest resale hits? Funny that I don't resell but think this way.

[@propicker]

I was planning on doing a breakdown at the end, but I felt like the talking segment was already going to long and the editing had taken forever.

[@rbend3]

Nice video

[@propicker]

Thanks!

[@darktoylord]

11:36 I have that MadWorld. Played it once. Guess what I'm listing tomorrow 🤣

[@propicker]

I remember that being a $5 brand new game at five and below back in the day. Apparently, it didn't do crazy well on release, but I see it mentioned on youtube a fair amount so it must have a following.

[@lorraineaguilar4332]

Very nice but where is your wife she’s so cool. Missed you girl

[@livefromtheboxx]

Don't worry, I'm still around. I had a lot of stuff to do at home while he was out sourcing for this series. :)

[@beeznutts3323]

Vegan leather? That’s like saying natural plastic 😂

[@luv4sophie1]

stop #7 is the most expensive thrift ever. or maybe the GW in the area are cheap? either way i have to be utterly bored to head to village.

[@johnnyshags2]

Splash hat woah

[@propicker]

I couldn't believe it was just hanging there with how many people were there.

[@NickelNationCoinsMore]

👍

[@dustinc6105]

What percentage do you normally run your promoted listings ? I know its different for each category just trying to get ideal avg.

[@propicker]

We do 2% for everything.

[@dustinc6105]

@@propicker oh ok I been doing 3% on everything idk if it helps r not haha

[@Atsports2821]

Do some stores not allow you to film or don't you provide video if you dont buy anything?

[@propicker]

There were so many stores where I struck out during this second half I just decided to speed the flow up and show just a few seconds leaving for a lot of them.

[@Atsports2821]

Gotcha. It was a fun 2 videos. Keep up the good work.

[@dRob24]

Bring back the flipper vids 😭

[@propicker]

They're coming eventually. We're still recording all the order pulls.

[@Lee-AnneMurray]

Do you always cover the cost of shipping?

[@propicker]

We build it into the price.

[@bonniemck8987]

Gas costs for all those stops?

[@propicker]

I meant to include that at the end. I spent around $100 in gas.

[@user-us4ml9oi1x]

Can you write off gas?

[@propicker]

It really depends on the situation. I'm not qualified to give tax advice, so I tend to shy away from the topic.

[@robertlusnia506]

Ever think of doing jewelry

[@propicker]

It is definitely an area I'd like to learn more about!

[@4minuty_]

Pozdrawiamy ze śląska [PL], 👍 💙💙💙zostawiamy 💙💙💙

[@WillmobilePlus]

"Made" or just listed a bunch of stuff for that much?

[@aritiihonen8919]

Potenial?!

[@propicker]

Yeah, I caught it too late. Tons of editing on this one.

[@northside_guerrilla9736]

Try haggling with the local Goodwill's to consume your greed you spread amongst the vendors you rip off.

[@propicker]

Have a blessed day

[@79TEOG]

Fake title you did not sell all these items in 1 week for 2000. The value may be 2000 but will literally take months to sell

[@spiriofmanu]

He mentioned Potential earnings. Stay focus bro 😎

[@Resellocity]

😂 you must be new to KZbin. Literally every single reseller on KZbin who has an audience uses clickbait titles. If they didn’t they wouldn’t get views.

[@19590]

Who likes any negative comments? Not me !! (Say something encouraging)

[@Syph-xl9nf]

Umm that’s where your wrong yeah he may not have sold the items he bought that week sell in that same week but he made well over 2 grand from other inventory from his store when your active and constantly listing and finding high demanding items also with over 1000 listings you’ll be making way more than 2k a week for sure don’t knock it til you try it

[@dustinc6105]

Why watch his content and post negative complaints on all of his videos
