Should I Have Bought The Shirt Off Her Back?! ~ HUGE Reseller Goodwill Outlet Bins Thrift Haul EBAY

[@joytoyouandme4593]

As someone who suffers from long Covid, reselling has been the perfect supplement to my retirement income. If I have a bad day I can get by with just shipping and then gear up on a better day. I also have been prone to headaches and really have to shut down on those days.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

I am so glad you have reselling and it works with your health condition. I am sorry you have long covid. Sending a hug your way. I do the same thing, work when I feel good and pull back if I feed yucky. xxooxoxooxo Q

[@rachelh.8394]

Thank you for sharing that. I have chronic pain too (CRPS) and I also rest more when needed and push more when I can. Wishing you more good-feeling days. 💕

Glad to see this!! You are so positive, that helps me when I am not motivated. You look very beautiful today!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

You are so so kind to say that , thank you!! If I can bring you any motivation, that makes me so happy. thank you xo Q

[@goddess_threads6328]

I love your boundaries and your wonderful personality. You are a joy to watch. Hoping to make it to the bins soon.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Hi Stephanie, that is so nice of you to say, thank you. I love your personality too and always have a great time when I see you. I have been going on Fridays so hope to see you sometime. xo Q

[@theteenreseller]

Great haul! Sometimes it can be challenging to keep going with reselling but I am impressed you were able to do the bins that long with a migraine! You are incredible!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Thank you so much Keegan. You are such a great guy. Glad thrifting is going well for you in your new home. Hope you get a nice break for the Holidays. xo Q

[@JenniferSalfer]

I love it! I just found an embroidered Lucky Brand top an sad to sell it. When I took pics I found a small hole that I"ll repair and keep for myself!!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

That sounds like me. I'm almost happy to find a little flaw on items i wanted anyway, ha ah ah ha . I am such a bad reseller but it works for me, xo q

[@deborahpotestio4787]

Oh Girl, you are such a treasure! Every video I learn something. But even if I didn’t I would watch. You have a special way of brightening our day with your whimsy,whit and pure honesty. Sincere wishes that your battle with migraines will soon be a thing of the past! 😊💐

[@TheGratefulQueen]

That is soooo sweet of you to say! You are a treasure too. Xo ❤️

[@re-wear-itboutique173]

No bins near me :( I rely on finding the items that the Goodwill employees miss marking up, I actually found Sorel Joan of Arctic boots and some Uggs that already sold for 60 on Posh just the other day. They were marked 5.99. So weird because they want 5.99 for a top. I also do Thredup boxes. Almost all the jeans in my Goodwill are marked up in the "Boutique" section no matter the brand. I found a 1940's Men's wool coat the other day and grabbed that for 7.99. You just have to look through everything for the things they miss. They are more likely to mark up a Shein item (trendy) than a St. John piece so there is that.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

I hear you. You are doing it right. These days, we have to find the brands they don't know that aren't marked up. My GW have no sales, and things are marked up crazy, so thank Goodness for the bins! xoQ

[@juliedecalonne]

I absolutely love your channel. Love watching you. Thanks for all your great key words and knowledge you share with us. You're amazing. Sorry you deal with chronic issues. I've been a nurse for over 30 years and so many patients with the same issues. I'm sorry. Thanks again for being great!!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Yay for being a nurse for 30 years! We should all be thanking YOU. I have great respect for nurses! xo Q

[@JenniferKula-o7v]

I just love your videos!! I learn so much and laugh too! Thank you!!

You are so welcome! I'm glad we can laugh together and you can learn something. That's the best! xo Q

[@audfashionfinds]

Good boundary setting! Love it. I can only imagine how much unwelcome advice (about everything lol) you get being on YT. So happy to have a new video from you - thank you! PS - have heard from many about ebay mysteriously removing items. I should be better about auditing, but have not made the time. 🩷

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support. Yes, I get lots and lots of feedback here on youtube, but I get enough sweet comments from people like you to make it all worth it xo Q

[@jojothriftyteacher]

DG2 is a good brand to resell as well as Effies Heart.

[@riflegurlsmom]

I love your gentle but firm boundary chat. :) Your videos are my fav. You always make me smile. I say out loud that lady is funny. My pups agree. Hope the migraine come back for a long, long time. I'm 60, with arthritis and the joint pain can be tough some days, but like you, I push through. Good to take breaks too. 😊 Be well, Quenby!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Thank you so much for this kind comment. So nice of you! I have learned that we all have some sort of physical issue we are dealing with, right? We are not alone. xooxo Q

Oh crap, left a pair of mens lulu because it had the square dot and I thought they might be fake. Appreciate You!

[@lesliekoplow3150]

Effie’s Heart has a huge following! I’ll bet that sells quickly for you. I’m sorry to hear you have migraines but I’m glad to hear you have some good strategies and medication available to you. I am making Christmas presents and watching your latest video. So fun. Life is good. You bring joy and inspiration to so many of us. Shall we all wish you a perfect Patricia Nash purse to fall into your hands this month? Manifesting now…..!

Hi Leslie, this is such a nice comment. Thank you so much. What are you making for xmas presents? xoQ

[@lesliekoplow3150]

@@TheGratefulQueen Aw thanks. You are my favorite reseller! Your videos are amazing and I imagine a lot more work than they appear--I love how they go from bins, to home, and also the exciting ding when you show something that has sold. And I always learn something! I am working on a drawing my friend's dog! It is slow but very gratifying work, especially when I have great videos to watch. :)

[@margaretcurtiss9533]

It made me laugh when you were pulling your pants up because that happens to me all the time but out in public lol.

[@buzzemt]

I love your videos. Also your skin is beautiful. I’m wondering if you would share what skin care or makeup you like?

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Thank you so much! I only got into skincare a few years ago. I use Cereve sunscreen every day under my makeup. I use a brand called AGENCY to order my tretinoin for anti-aging. I use a lot of lotion all the time on my face. But...honestly, if you look at my face closely, I have sun damage and all sorts of issues. I use ELF brand makeup. Hope this helps. xoxo Q

I own 3 velvet blazers...... I have a thing for coats and jackets like you with linens.😂😂😂

Sheryl Crowe and Diane Gilman both Home Shopping brands. There are quite a few embroidered jeans on EBay! Love your channel.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Oh i didn't know that. Usually I avoid QVC brand but then again those Sheryl Crow sold for $30 fast, so I will pick them up again in a heartbeat. Thank you xo Q

[@steph6197]

Goodwill retail prices are out of control over here. $100 for a used Christmas tree 🎄 we only have luck if they miss something.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

I completely agree!! All we can do is hope to find what they missed and didn't mark up. Also, we can find non-GW thrift stores with better prices. Thank you xo Q

[@alexandraliley9620]

I'm sorry you were suffering this day, I know it's a big challenge. So glad you keep making good sales!

[@kimkuks6370]

Sheryl crow had a line on QVC or HSN. High end cowgirl styles.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

Oh so good to know. I really love learning. Goes to show, even QVC brands can sell, those pants sold for $30 fast!! Such a good style. But generally I avoid QVC. Thank youxo Q

[@dshanley1808]

Yup! Totally agree! I've been dealing with a severe chronic pain condition for which there is no cure for 23 years. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for anyone else. Thanks but no thanks regarding unsolicited advice. It is not helpful. Thank you for another great video!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

I hear you!! Thank you for your support, esp because you really get it bc of your own health condition. One thing being a Therapist has taught me, is that everyone is dealing with something. This being a human in a body thing is hard! xo Q

Do all Johnny Was pieces have embroidery on them? I never find Johnny Was in my area. I found one that looks like an older piece, but it doesn't have any embroidery at all. I haven't listed it for fear that it is a fake. The tag is embroidered, but also has a gap in the stitching. Thanks

No, not tall JW has embroidery. If you want to send me photo of the tag I will look at it for you. .I have sold totally plain solid JW tops. xo Q

[@AndreaGrinoldsSoap]

I find better mens stuff at the regular goodwill stores. Usually not marked up 5-12. I hit the dresses and out. Bins are my fav. 2-3 hours, 30-100 bucks, and im good for a week. Im part-time too.

[@sumthingelsesumthingelse6811]

My strategy? Shop Bins rarely - ours are dirty...and its too hard to stand a long time for me sorting through things. I hurt. So I go to regular good wills BUT I usually shop the sale days. In fact, we just had a black friday 50% off all used items sale. I went from 12 to 5pm and I was hurting when I left but I had 3 big bags full of items. I was so excited LOL. Mostly clothing but I got a huge corning ware with lid (worth approx. $50), a fiber optics christmas wall hanging (not sure if it works yet or not - have to check into it but only $4 it orig cost $71) and a party lite cabin that I wanted for myself. I did get a "ugly" christmas sweater...and some other christmas items like stockings which most are listed now. Most items were around $3-4 each. I got two plus size dresses that I think will list for over $40 each (crossing fingers), one Torrid Frilly Floral Chiffon and One Adrianna Papell Party dress. For all of it I paid $125. I will shop for about 20 minutes, go find a place to sit down and sort. Then repeat. Bins - If I wasn't hurting after only about 20 minutes of shopping, I would probably go to our bins more. They have no place to sit down. Plus I'm not a morning person so I go later...and usually no new bins come out when I get there. But I have found amazing things there...I notice tend to buy more "junk" though then if I go to regular goodwill. Our prices are less than $3.49 a pound, I was upset that recently they changed books from .49 each up to .99 each.

[@TheGratefulQueen]

I am glad you have found a strategy that works for you. That is what I love about reselling and thrifting; we can do what works for us. I agree that the bins is hard work and def hard on the body! My GW has no sale days. so that rules it out for me. Take good care! Q

[@sumthingelsesumthingelse6811]

@@TheGratefulQueen I have heard from other you tubers about their goodwills not having sale days. Bummer! Not even on holidays? But its why so much good stuff probably hits your bins! Still I have paid full price for a few things at Goodwill, I have about 3 I go to close to me. Mainly if its for me, but every once I while I find a "hot" item priced well. Once I found a SKIMS Boucle Set (tank and shorts in cream) perfect condition. GW wanted $16, and I paid it. I sold almost the next day for $60 LOL. I still have a plus size tank ribbed somewhere in my money pile LOL. I need to find that and list too. I do so love watching your videos and appreciate all the hard work you do there. You do a great job explaining each piece, brand or no brand...style, keywords, etc. I find I learn something new each time. And yes I guessed right about the girls little dress brand! LOL. That was fun.

[@Stephanieflyps2024]

I LOVE your videos! I wish i had a bins closer to me! I am in Alabama and the closest BINS is about an hour from me! I work a full-time job so I really don’t have a whole lot of time to go to the bins!

[@TheGratefulQueen]

OH Man, and hour is a long commute. ARe they open on Saturday? It might be worth it to do it occasionally and make a day of it. When my bins was closed I drove 2+ hours to Sacramento, but only a few times a year. xox Q

[@maryarwood8942]

DG by Diane Gilman is sold on HSN, or they used to be. I don’t watch any of the home shopping channels now since I started reselling. I used to watch them a lot, but I don’t even know the brands they sell anymore.

Good to know. I usually avoid those brand sold on HSN, but these were too cut to pass up. Thank you xoq
