Really appreciate your dedication and quality of vlogs Dustin. 30 min vlog and the thoughtfulness of adding comps to everything u bought I know really takes time as probably all ur vlogs. Just know it doesn’t go unnoticed. Can’t wait till garage sale season

[@propicker]

Same, really hyped for yard sales this year.

[@gilbertoarellano8525]

Bro really said 😮 in the thumbnail.

[@TEEDUBS]

A Creative Zen?? Holy Middle School Nostalgia Batman!!

[@lia-liz2012]

😂

[@flipmanthefantastic]

Dustin is putting us small time reselling KZbinrs to shame. 😂

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

I'm just a small time reseller with no YT ad revenue...working my way up though, but IDK if I'd ever become a KZbinr.

[@DragonNinja4680]

You should consider doing a tour of small town thrift stores. In the region. That would be cool to see!

[@jmlebresco]

70 Band Guitars coming right up. Let’s go, Pro!

[@propicker]

Gotta get some drum sets in there too

[@Momo-jc9yo]

Your time and hardwork ethic is crazy! I'm glad you and Jess do it, bc it keeps me entertained.

[@kimross6279]

Thanks for sharing. Dustin you look very tired, take care of yourself.

[@propicker]

Thanks Kim! I did run myself down a bit during it and got a cold, but I'm doing better now.

[@bobwest7179]

Great video… You are a machine. They should show this video to someone who wants to start reselling full time so they know how much work it actually is. Also garage sale season is right around the corner. That makes us cold weather state resellers happy.

[@propicker]

Totally looking forward to yard sales!

[@talonkallestad]

Man you’re the best. So honest about everything. Really great people. I love your videos they’ve helped a ton

[@propicker]

Thank you! I'm glad you find the videos helpful!!

[@susancousins8766]

Way to go Justin , but that’s a lot of thrifting! You have picked up nice items, I hope you enjoy it instead of just running through. You have to enjoy what you’re doing! You sound like you’re either getting over a cold or coming down with one. I hope you have your Airborne it’s great for colds. Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@propicker]

Thanks Susan, just got over a cold actually. Doing better now thankfully!

[@romeldagioscio9185]

Great video, but you looked tired. Take care of yourself, we want you and Jess and the fur family around a long time. Ann in Indiana

[@propicker]

Thanks Ann!

[@bearchay889]

I'm a big movie collector, but I despise steelbooks. I can look at them sideways and there's a dent and most people are much worse than me. I wish I had 70 stores near me. I think there's about 20 in my preferable driving range and I usually hit up about 10 to 13 of them on a regular basis.

[@christinaarmstrong4482]

I enjoyed seeing Valley Thrift again. 😊

[@propicker]

I won't lie, I got a bit nostalgic during the week going there.

[@DragonNinja4680]

@@propicker I saw that they remodeled. I haven't been in there since before I started having knee problems. I use to walk around in there with no problem. Did they widen the isles so that people with walkers and mobility scooters can get around easily? Thanks!!

[@propicker]

@@DragonNinja4680 they have widened the aisles thankfully.

[@PeteBuchwald]

I've been thrifting for 20+ years, and selling on eBay for just as long. I am sensing a lot more competition, and the backroom skimming off high quality items for the online Goodwill auctions. I hit Goodwill, Goodwill bins (love) but also more mom & pop type places, yard sales, estate sales. Thanks for your videos!

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching!

[@DArchAngel69]

Really dig the video. I have only 1 decent thrift near me. There are a few other thrift stores but they are really really bad. Haha. I like that you have the preview clips again at the end of the video.

[@propicker]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@darktoylord]

Nice. I have that Wonder Woman steel book here and I've just been sitting on it. Guess I should get it listed.

[@propicker]

Get that money!

[@AnthonyDifillippo]

Good video, good pace. Like it

[@propicker]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@kathyorio718]

Wow! I watch because I like what you both of you are doing on your videos

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@edwardsawtell5712]

Love it! Great work Dustin!

[@propicker]

Thanks!!

[@babettelehew2569]

I just think free shipping is crazy! I’ve never given free shipping!

[@propicker]

We build it into the price. It's not really "free" shipping.

[@19590]

Wow!😳 Great videos! 👍 👏👏👏 Many thanks! ❤

[@propicker]

Thank you!!

[@Yourcreeepyuncle]

If you haven't you need to come down to Cincy. Valley Thrift has half price on holidays and Oakley Goodwill is a gold mine. Shouldve watched 4 minutes longer

[@jessicawilliams9723]

I thought those boots said Duracell for a second lol and they look like the batteries colors too lol😂

[@helenadrennan4484]

Loving this series!! Very interesting!

[@propicker]

Thank you!!

[@TiaR-s9g]

Very good video that was definitely a hard work good Jobi

[@propicker]

Thanks!!

[@Upnorthyooperman]

I can't imagine that! There is only three thrift store in my town.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

You have to venture outside of your town. Go to neighboring towns and cities.

[@Upnorthyooperman]

That would be 90 miles.I live way up north.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

@@Upnorthyooperman online auctions and online thrift stores then! there are options...👍

[@stephensmith4539]

What do you look for when scanning through board games? Brands, old logos??? Interested in advice from others, too. Thanks!

[@propicker]

Actually, in the follow up to this video I male a significant find due to looking in that section. It can definitely pay off to have some bolo games and puzzles memorized and to look up ones you are not familiar with.

[@kathiekesterson9635]

I am exhausted just thinking absolutely going to 70 thrift stores lol

[@propicker]

It was a tiresome week haha

[@ariesapparel5944]

Great Video

[@propicker]

Thank you!!

[@shieasepuryear7038]

Top tier video.

[@propicker]

Thank you!

[@karenharding3842]

Great video thanks shows how hard it is for you to find decent bargains for you to resell.

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennyrobbins7136]

Great video 😊

[@propicker]

Thank you!!

[@KevinDurantisnot]

I don’t think I’ve ever even been to 10 thrift stores in 1 day, 70 in a week is insane

[@propicker]

I was definitely worn out after doing so! 😅

[@terrygermany2670]

Great video!!!!

[@propicker]

Thanks!!

[@staygold902]

Deus ex was a random pickup for me on day. Was pleasantly surprised when i played it. Definitely a good game

[@propicker]

Yeah, I enjoyed what I played of it. I don't know when I'll ever start my second attempt at it though.

[@barbfabin665]

How do you even find that many thrift stores!! Wow

[@sara31773]

Have you ever done a video on items you’ve been unable to sell? That would be interesting.

[@propicker]

It would be interesting maybe to do a pull of items that have been listed forever or something in the future.

[@OhmegadJT]

I always recommend people to sell clothes because most of the time the hard goods sections can be bare or the first to be picked over, etc etc. It’s great, don’t get me wrong but in terms of finding stuff to resell, clothing is the most consistent source. I haven’t walked out of a single thrift store empty handed because I took the time to learn the brands!

[@propicker]

Oh for sure, there's a ton of opportunity in clothing. I just get distracted by shiny hardgoods to commit to them.

[@hillaryhall5482]

Keep it!

[@tyronevonchadley]

I have way more than 70 different thrift stores in my area. Still hard to find reasonably priced stuff!

[@propicker]

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, region really plays a lot into it when it comes to thrift stores.

[@BethsTreasures]

That pyrex set was killer, can't believe you left it

[@propicker]

Yeah, it was super nice. Just more than I could do on it.

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂

[@propicker]

Hello!

[@stanleypruczinski1162]

Jess love when talk on videos. Dustin you are just ok, but Jess is calming. Sorry! Wife Liz, good luck.

[@corgilover42]

70? Man how far did you travel for all those??? I would probably have to drive an hour away in both directions to hopefully find that many!

[@propicker]

It was a fair amount of driving. I did allow for repeats when not on the same day to cut down on travel time. Thanks for watching!

[@NickelNationCoinsMore]

👍

[@Syph-xl9nf]

No way you only pick up a couple items in each store on average I usually walk out with 5 per thrift store but aye every reseller is different

[@Secondliferacquet]

Wait, we don’t get to see you eat lunch? I miss the old videos where you grade your lunch. What’d you end up eating?

[@propicker]

I actually forget. I have a pretzel scene I might work into the next video.

[@mb-pc3zn]

Thrifting is not dead If your driving to 70 thrift stores in a week 😂 your bound to find a whole bunch of stuff.

[@propicker]

Gotta make it happen, haha!

[@doloresmiller6956]

❤❤❤

[@TheHtownblow]

How do you avoid a return when the buyer opens the mp3 and the internal battery is no longer working and they want to return for item doesn't want work, I've been stung by nos electronics dozens of times, all your left is an opened unsellable item usually

[@propicker]

I don't know if there is a way to avoid that for sure other than not buying and listing the item. I have had it happen before as well.

Love the shorts you got some good womens clothing Wished i know how to get on your ebt stuff?😊

[@terryedwardz5970]

I’ve sold those mp3 players before but the 4gb or 8gb for almost 50$ yours is only 1gb I was thinking 25-30$

[@justbrian_47]

i thought the OG Xbox was the Black one

[@propicker]

I mean OG 360, but didnt say it right. The one that did the RROD. I try to avoid buying them.

[@spiriofmanu]

It’s pronounced: LOXITANE , salute from France 🇫🇷 😊

Thank you! I'll try not to butcher it next time.

[@Margaretcs0103]

I was tired just watching ! That’s a lot of work….

[@propicker]

Thanks for watching!!

[@kellymcguffey5762]

Did you deduct the amount of gas you used driving to these thrift stores?

[@propicker]

That's coming in part 2 during the recap.

[@shusho0520]

70 frift stores,

[@janinejensen583]

Why are you paying sales tax? That is crazy!

[@propicker]

We started to do the work for tax exempt status awhile back and just never finished it with everything else going on.

[@susie4099]

May I ask why you ship for free on many of your items? That eats away at your profit immensely! If someone wants to buy an item, they will pay the shipping fee.

[@propicker]

Free shipping is a bit of a misnomer. We build the shipping into the price. So, if something is 30 plus 10 shipping. Our listing would be 40.. well 39.99

[@xillisWillisx]

Weak returns for time invested, imo.

[@propicker]

Yeah, there is a lot of time that went into it. Definitely, not the most efficient way of doing it.

[@xillisWillisx]

@propicker sourcing is only part of it too, got to list and ship the items as well. I get that it's Feb and sourcing options are limited. I'm happy to have a stockpile, so I can be selective about how and when I source. You also kinda have to do it for the content, so there's that to. Keep on keeping on, it is a grind!

[@lia-liz2012]

​@@xillisWillisxhe knows all that 🙄

Resellers are bottom feeders. They should seek real employment

[@19590]

😅🤣😃😄👍👏👏👏🥳

[@michaelmeyer4682]

@@flipmanthefantastic . Not trolling. Stating facts. What do they bring to the table? What role do they play? They serve no purpose besides price gouging items that people can find for themselves much cheaper

[@flipmanthefantastic]

@@michaelmeyer4682 if these people were out looking for the items themselves, then they wouldn't be there for the resellers to purchase. And because the reseller did in fact purchase it, these people don't have to go out looking, they can just shop from the comfort of their own home. Also, you literally can't price gouge someone on items that are widely and freely available online. This is a simple point, so I doubt you can understand it.

[@michaelmeyer4682]

@@flipmanthefantastic. I understand it is hard to accept your job has no meaning or purpose. It'll be ok buddy. Keep making it hard for everyone else to find a deal at thrift stores and yard sales. Re- sellers contribute nothing to society except driving prices up on video games, concert tees, shoes, etc.
