WE SHOPPED 5 GOODWILL OUTLET STORES FOR RESALE! | VALUABLE Thrift Haul! | Reselling For Profit

[@claireroberts5051]

When I ever I see all of this stuff that has been discarded, it reminds me of what a wasteful, consumer-driven society we are.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

💯 It’s heartbreaking!

[@shannonackerman6106]

An what's replacing it is total garbage

[@mezanian]

Donating to charities is a thoughtful and deliberate act, not discards 😊

[@claireroberts5051]

@@mezanian yes, a good outcome for all of these things. I’m alluding to the purchase in the first place, if you follow me.

I wish that Goodwill bins would open up as a benefit and Goodwill for the folks who've lost EVERYTHING in the hurricanes, and any number of disasters that have befallen our people.

[@deboramccallum3987]

Hmm..now that's a thought

[@o.l1407]

Great thought! Sadly I think they're money hungry

[@debbiekennedy6030]

I think that's an excellent idea! I'm a Carolina girl. I am from the NC mountains. I have lived in Asheville a couple of times, and in several other towns in the area. I was born about 45 minutes away, in Sylva. My heart is broken for our people, animals, and the beautiful land. So much help will be needed for many years to come. My family reunion is next weekend in Hendersonville, at my cousin's. He insisted on still having it. I can't go this year, but most of the family is going, and taking donations that they have gathered. My cousin says sleeping bags are needed. Kids need toys. I'm sure winter coats are also needed. I've heard that a lot of clothing has been sent, but it's a lot of overly worn things. If anyone feels so inclined, please help. Let's not forget those in Florida too. Thank you for bringing it up, and thinking of them.

[@catherinemcneill7045]

So sorry for your family, Debbie. i'm a Carolina girl, too, now in Coastal SC. Several trucks have gone to the Mtns. from here loaded with items. I pray those suffering received what they needed. Cat

[@deborahwatson2432]

Agree 💯 There are so many people that have nothing! 😢 Goodwill should live up to it’s name and donate!!

[@maximeshasha2170]

“ BIN there done that”…. 😅fab Bins trip ever.. thanks for sharing

[@davidhorwood6741]

We don't have this option in goodwill Australia so really interesting, I wish they did. A great way to buy stuff by weight.

[@noravaupel5726]

I have never been to the bins, only one in my area that I know of. This makes me want to grab my sister and go! We have thrifted for years and years together! Time to try something different. Loved this video!

[@fififirestone3787]

That's crazy about the St. Helen's ash shell. I live in Seattle, I never knew they made things out of the ash. Wild.

[@laurieboughfman5727]

Hurray! You're back🎉

[@brandilowe1916]

favorite bins find...a late 1800s early 1900 double pedestal butterfly leaf parlor or dining room table..and the leaves work..stuffed in a corner behind the raggedy couches for $5.99!..

[@rosivanwinkle5532]

My granddaughter Rose has been to the bins with me and her favorite finds have been Squishmallows. When we get home they always get the spa treatment before they move into her room. Thank you for going to the bins and sharing it with me.

[@catherinemcneill7045]

You were missed, but know you had a wonderful time. I'm so glad you and Jesse took us to the bins. I've never seen them, don't think we have them here in NMB, SC. Love the things you found. After being flooded out by Matthew in 2017, my Church friend gave me clothes and shoes. Then I learned to shop at the Salvation Army, and then Goodwill. I added Church Rummage Sales, and continue to shop them all today although no longer in need. Looking forward to your next Friday sale. Blessings, Cat

[@cyndijobes]

We’ve missed you. My last trip to the bins I found a pair of solid brass planters with nautical shell handles. Found the exact item sold for $225. And I found two of them 🤩😍

[@kathycollins8508]

Welcome home!! You and Jesse were missed. Settling back to watch my favorite you tuber!!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

We sure missed everyone here! So good to be home 😄

[@gigisielaff]

Another fantastic episode! Thank you both. Jesse keeps me in stitches. Welcome back!

[@lourinedavis121]

I love “book shoppin” at the bins. Have to set a limit before going in. I few handmade quilts and afghans. Jessie and Laura. Thank you for always encouraging others to support small businesses, do what you can for the environment, and sharing your time and knowledge with us.

[@ET-yp9vc]

The Japanese patterned pants would make great pillows, placemats, napkins, etc…

[@restlesssoul5853]

Yaaay. Clicked to watch your vid so fast 😀 I think I missed you! Talk about addiction...for thrifting and watching others thrifting 🤣

[@amyhansen2417]

Laura!! I’m going to Paris with you and Jesse in May💕💕I can’t wait! I’m so glad you had a great time traveling but I’m happy you’re back. Looking forward to your videos and the next first Friday sale 😊

[@helenalberto6437]

I think I should grab my friends for us to drive to your area to "jump dive" into those bins...so many useful and wearable items to choose from.Thanks Laura and Jesse for taking your viewers along with you shop "The Bins"👍😊🌹❤

[@carb101]

I'm glad to see you again! I've been to Austin's Goodwill outlet a couple of times, and I felt so sad...so much unwanted stuff. :(

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I get sad when I go too! So much waste.

[@jeffvenables4845]

Hi Laura. I’m a fellow “covers off” of books kind of person as well. When I was in high school, I worked in the public library as a page. I learned to appreciate the beauty of the bound book.

[@catherinemcneill7045]

I like the way Laura stacks them with pretty titles showing, but I tend to leave the covers on for protection and show them on a stand, like the one Laura found in a bin, as you would a piece of art. I change them out from time to time so as to enjoy a variety of artists work. Thanks for reminding me I worked in the town library as a preteen learning how to clean, repair, and catalog volumes. Can't believe I'd forgotten that. Cat

[@fififirestone3787]

I'm being pedantic, forgive me, but the covers are still on the books. What you two are removing are the dust jackets.

[@smileybead]

The first bins you went to is the one we go to every week. Best finds: Tiffany silver heart necklace, prototype nintendo game. Worst finds: a couple of live mice.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

😱 🐀

[@carlamckillip2325]

Enjoyed your video! The bins are so much fun with hidden treasures, great digging👍

[@cerisewilson4088]

That thing you thought was a towel rack was for wine glasses. It mounts on the underside of a cabinet and the glasses hang upside down.

[@lisafowler6278]

This was a really fun one- I mean, all your videos are fun, but I love the bins!! All thrifting feels like a treasure hunt, but I feel like this is especially true of the bins. And you have such a good eye. I watch another reseller who’s in Utah and they find a lot of really great books and also quilts and afghans, or embroidered napkins like the ones you found. Thanks for your consistently great content.

[@plantaslover5994]

I love it🥰Thank you for taking us to the outlet goodwill 👍

[@sirenl5608]

Missed you too x

[@laraemitchell9064]

I have always loved those shell backed chairs. I would worry about bugs in appolstry, though.

[@lizachapman4271]

Laura , you’ll find that colander for your handful of berries one day! How many months/years have I been hearing you say that! Keep going 🤞

[@bodiezmum]

I was glued to this video. So many interesting things for eye candy. Please do some more bins extravaganzas in the future. Cheers.

[@JaneRamsey-k7q]

You two are just adorable. Loved every second!

[@catherinemcneill7045]

PS. Great jewelry books for resource. I found them invaluable, even today with the internet, I use them out of my own curiosity. Cat

[@jennifercullen1046]

My best find was a brand new, still had the packing peanuts under the cushions, leather sofa from IKEA. I looked up the # and it was still sold there for 1495.00. I paid $5.00. they announced that all furniture that day was 5 bucks so I was just went to check it out. They probably had about 30 sofas and I spotted the one I wanted in the middle of them all. The poor guy had to move all the others around to get mine out. It's a deep chocolate brown. But I have found Gucci and Christian Dior there as well.

[@barbarareed3661]

I too had a Lane cedar chest. It had faux bamboo trim and the surfaces looked like woven rattan. My home was flooded in 2021 and it was ruined. I looked every where to find one like it in order to value it for insurance to no avail.

[@PortlandTreasuresandFinds]

You should have gotten those chairs. I saw furniture reseller who picked a pair of those and cleaned them up and they were worth around $1000. The only downside of those is they don’t match…..

[@tinabrummel1595]

I absolutely love the bins. My 10 year old daughter also loves digging at the bines. I just went to our bins 2 weeks ago. You definitely need to be patient but its worth it.

[@Paulsofsteel]

nothin' like BINTAGE

[@KhonziweKeemTukwayoProphet]

This was a good episode. I have never seen you at the bins so this was quite interesting

[@daniellewilson9142]

If you went to your local markets, you might be able to ask someone who makes pottery to make you a small colander and in the colour/ pattern of your choice? 😊

[@wendystephens2730]

I going to the bins now, it be fun with a friend. I had a condo fire and no insurance so we lost everything. Little time and we have a few nice pieces . But some of these sellers like Facebook marketplace and even Salvation are way to expensive in Fl. Fun video please do it again Take care 😼🌸

[@debraowen1441]

I used to shop bins all the time. Not clothes so much, but lots of antiques and housewares

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

You got some wonderful fines. Good video.

[@totallytania7978]

We have bins where every item is $1.00 and not by weight. Way cheaper!!

[@taralapenna497]

Missed you guys!!

[@lindak7499]

That was fun - thanks. I wish the bins in my area (Oxnard, Ca) was as nice as those. Ours is dirty, smelly, never saw any furniture and such a disappointment. Maybe if I go to another city somewhere it will be different.

[@ArtistNikki2024]

I can help you out with the Saint Helens shell dish. It is called St. Helens ash ware and the pottery is Made From the Ashes that resulted from St Helens erupting back in the 1980s. Not extraordinarily valuable but somewhat and definitely collectible

[@plaidpaisley5918]

I found a cool wool El Paso saddle blanket, twin size, gorgeous colors! Vintage Ralph Lauren Saturday jeans, full PB kids sheet set, PB duvet with shams!

[@plaidpaisley5918]

I love the bins! Hi Laura 🌺 Hi Jesse!

That's why I always call thrifting "The ultimate in impulse shopping!"

[@lesliespradley8897]

Your Lane cedar chest is a blanket chest. Lane made blanket,hope and storage chests. It is from the 50s. If I’m correct the doors are faux but the bottom drawer functions. Originally it would hav had a flat front with a decorative pull on either side . Some Lane manufacturers did offer options if you wanted to pay to customize which could explain the trimmed beadboard on the front. If it was done by Lane the beadboard is cedar. That being said it could also be an addition that someone did themselves. I do know that the shape of yours is more rare because most people bought the longer low to the ground style for the foot of the bed or longer taller ones with legs for living rooms to set radios,tv or decor on. So they didn’t make as many in the style you have. It’s rare,it’s beautiful and a definite keeper. PS I have heard but can’t confirm that some of their customized pieces do not have a serial number. Does yours?

[@n_baileyname2698]

I was at the Pittsburgh bins (3 hours away) one time. I had, my husband, son, DIL, and 2 granddaughters with me. I'd wanted to go so bad for so long, and everyone else just wanted out of there!!! I loved it, they hated it!! If I got an hour there, I think it's an exaggeration!! BOO!!!

Sadly, our GW Outlet is frequented by many chemically addicted people. I’ve been warned that ours can be unsafe. Sad. Our regular GW stores are also a big disappointment…grungy, dark and lacking any good finds. Wish they were like yours!

[@CarlottaHall]

Laura, OMG, I have been looking for that Metalsmithing book down here in SoCal! If you got any jewelry books you decided not to keep lmk! I can also give you good advise on which ones to keep

[@nlbhaduri]

Don’t destroy original labels on items, even something like the Mt St Helen’s ash ceramic dish, as you decrease the value/potentially lower the provenance of the item. I miss the bins, too!
