How To Shop The Bins | Tips for Shopping at The Goodwill Outlet | Thrift for Profit | Reselling

[@margaretvillalpando7722]

I have learned to put items in my cart even if questionable because someone else will grab it. Then before leaving I go through my cart to see what I want to keep or leave behind. That's when I look things up to make sure what it's worth, etc.

[@CariMachet]

Exactly

[@angelawesson9978]

👍

[@Lufare]

totally always gotta throw it in your bag for later , ya never know

[@80sWavrDude]

5:29. Bottom, left. Looks like a lid to a VitaMix blender, or similar. I have had good luck selling such lids. Some you can get as much as $25 for easily. People often need them for their expensive Vitamix, BlendTec blenders, because they lose them, need an extra one, or they bought one on Ebay, but missing the lid. I always grab them. Vitamix and Blentec bl;ender parts always sell fast for me. Carafe.. Base units, lids.. etc. Food pushers, as well. People always need replacement parts. Also, Breville Juicer parts sell fast and for decent money. Grab them (especially if cheap).

[@patriciapines587]

I like the occasional stopping with information- that's a fascinating way to watch and learn.

[@dagda825]

Go through the old computers too. What you're looking for are the old sound cards. A working soundblaster can fetch over 100 dollars. Well worth your time learning about them and I get them for less than 2 bucks a piece

[@rjsworld4513]

Everyone has different items they look for. I do the same and have looked up thousands of items and my wife even more. It's a never ending learning process. I did see several items I would have picked up

[@nickandshelbivillabol37]

At 17:10 you grabbed a Lisa Frank binder. Those 90's nostalgic pieces are worth picking up.

[@peartreefinds9013]

That was an Ed Hardy binder

[@angeliquelong1926]

At 7:14 I think I saw a Cutco Spatula Spreader. They are nearly $80 brand new and sell for about $20 online.

[@sparkscommunication6430]

Love going to the bins despite all the hard work! Digging through treasures is like hitting the jackpot. Once found a sequenced American flag jacket and resold it for $100! Someone’s trash is another person’s treasure

[@dawnlovejoy8917]

Wish we had bins in the UK, looks fun. Just found a Victorian jade and gold bar brooch for £1.50 in the thrift store / charity shop.

[@MsPrecious61]

We have The Bins here in the USA but finding a Victorian piece of jewelry is amazing! I would love that!

[@redapple2593]

Have you learned what its final value is yet?

[@denisew.5490]

I've stayed away from the bins because of the lack of cleaniness, but this viseo has encouraged me😊

[@chelledee2881]

@ 7:15 you came across a Cutco spatula knife, which is a bolo brand. I sold that specific knife for $30 within a few days of listing it.

[@raindrop5273]

Love the bins, makes ne want to go every time you post about them!

[@melissabranham5283]

raindrop52 Me too! It’s a treasure hunt!

[@suzannedawson6330]

Actually, the Lovely bones is a fantastic movie. Highly recommend it

[@thistledowntreasures7990]

No Goodwill bins in my area, always said I would like to go to one but after watching your video I have definitely changed my mind. I’ll pay an extra dollar to find something to sell and not have to dig through the garbage.

[@CarolinaPrincess-STP]

Hi there! New subscriber-glad to come across your channel! I’m in Texas too! I love to get books from the bins and donate to teachers at my school! 🥰

[@teresa28m]

16:26 Those On Cloud Shoes are worth about $50 with a great sell through rate

[@Annie36526]

Not all Goodwill outlets, bins, do pricing like that. Many just charge by the pound. No discount on breakables.

[@erikaInDR]

Indy is by the pound. If its super heavy, like weights or bowling ball, it's sold separately.

[@phyllissmith9643]

@@erikaInDR same here in Tallahassee

[@velvetbear7184]

In Arizona the bins are for returns and customers are not allowed in them, however ebayers act all entitled and do it anyway

[@robertspangler12345]

That lid around the 640-650 is 15-25 dollars sell a couple a month

[@sherrybrown8550]

7:14 was a Cutco knife...those sell for good money, especially having a whole set.

[@lasodipop]

Spoted that too 👍

[@thomasallmond9744]

Wanda Allmond The more of your videos I watch the more I like them. I really enjoyed "digging" with you!!

[@allofusfriends]

9:25 was a life is good hat. Looked like it might have been pretty dirty but they're popular again right now 😃

[@juliet8642]

I would have looked up the Club Aluminum lid. CA is a bolo.

[@piewhackit2me]

Found a fully intact no damage 14x6 Waterford crystal lamp shade in Goodwill blue bin yesterday!Thought it was Gorham and when I got it home I spotted the tiny acid etched waterford and seahorse.Literally did a happy dance and started screaming in my kitchen.Hoping to get $150.00 or gift it at xmas to my motherinlaw who loves Waterford.Paid a flat rate of $3.00.My Goodwill outlet charges a flat rate for small heavy items instead of by weight.

[@annwolf4084]

Sometimes at ours you can bargain to pass less per pound for a heavy item, also ours prices differently than yours. Ours is just by weight (by major type - clothes vs shoes vs books). I have found $80 items in the bins, plus one time, cash (and from a bin that was there over the weekend).

[@sherrycole7826]

Not sure if this sells...but there was a Pyrex lid you passed up. I used to have brown Pyrex pots/pans. But the lids get broke and it was hard to find a replacement. Also sterling silverware can sell for jewelry. I have a beautiful necklace someone made from a spoon. Love your channel.

[@esmelovesvintage]

You have the funnest and most educational bins thrift tips videos!!! 💝🔥💥💯💯

[@bambiroo918]

I LOVE watching you dig through garbage. I would be totally over whelmed. There are no Goodwill Outlets near me.😢

[@shelleyrambleson9198]

My bins equipment is a backpack full of bags and bungee cords (I ride a scooter), gloves, Benadryl, tissues, and a magnet (in case I find jewelry bits.

[@DarkRoseTreasures]

Shelley Rambles on ahh Benadryl I never thought about, good idea.

[@angelahammond8734]

Magnet?

[@DarkRoseTreasures]

Copied from a website: Precious Metals Aren’t Magnetic Gold, silver, and platinum are not magnetic. The next time you spot precious metal, put it to the test. Take your coin or piece of jewelry, and place a strong magnet on top of the object. Slowly tilt your metal item to see if the magnet sticks to the object by the magnetic pull, or if it slides off onto the ground. If the metal attracts the magnet, you know it must be an alloy mixture and not a precious metal.

[@beeandbark2593]

Pet Peeve: DON’T redonate broken or missing pieces. Drives me crazy.

[@flippinwithamy3397]

Yes you should always bring napkins or Kleenex because of the dust.

[@marthagentile4831]

Lovely Bones, very good book to read and pick up

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Martha Gentile, Right??

[@melissad8824]

I just wanted to say how much I truly appreciate your videos. You are so fun to listen to while I work! :D I'm not a reseller, preferring to sit on my behind at home and design printed on design items instead to sell on Etsy and sometimes Ebay too (not much success with the latter though). But I still enjoy listening to you share tips and the latest updates on what's selling out there. Thanks again!

[@susanboyer4136]

Game pieces can sell well, also, so if it is a vintage game or a popular game, even if some pieces are missing, look to see if the pieces that are there are worth picking up .

[@verethragna1374]

I would have gotten the game board because you can sell the parts of the game to collecter. Or people who are missing piece.

[@sherrymamet8226]

Heading to them on Friday!!!! Thanks

[@alfie008]

I saw a $20 used cutco spatula spreader beside the forks.

[@carolp8243]

U found some cool stuff. I enjoyed the video. We have several outlets in my city. I go to one once and a while. Not near as full as your bins. Hardly ever fine anything but clothes. I only get if it's a nice name brand and looks new.

[@kmoon33]

Thanks for the tips! I tried to go to my local goodwill outlet once and was so intimidated and had no idea what to do. But at the one here, it was so crowded and people were just acting way too crazy for my liking lol..

[@annaibarra3447]

Ka Smith go with someone. My niece and I decided to go tackle it. We nearly walked right out. Then we said, were here, let’s try it. But we were such newbies, we got pushed aside. We decided to tackle bins that were also ready sitting by themselves. I’ve been just twice only though. Won’t go on my own. Lol! Best with a buddy.

[@phyllissmith9643]

Go with a couple of other people and stand in front of multiple bins, seems to me people who work in teams get better. Less scary too

[@angelawesson9978]

I’ve been one in Oklahoma City But when an employee came out with a blow horn to break up a group…We hightailed it out

[@MakingMelodyCrafts]

Just a thought- If you want blank cards you can always cut off the front of the card and use that as a blank postcard.

[@jennifersalinas7198]

Something I have been successful with is buying incomplete games. Of course I check them before buying but replacement game pieces do well for me.

[@lindasoderberg9477]

Mismatched nativity figurines can be spray painted white to make a new set

[@TexasGalTreasures]

[@rebeccamccrady4966]

First time watching you dig. Other utube people have awesome Bins. Mine are lousy but I still go sometimes. Always gloved and a mask. The dust is to much! I used to home school. I would have bought a game, and wrote the company for the missing rules. And I would have grabed just the paper out of that box, light weight. I don't shop to sell. Yesterday I found 7 vintage music sheets . One is worth $120.00 It's a first addition. The pictures are AMAZING. The other 6 priced at 10 to 20.00 bucks. Yes, I do dig!

[@suzainjames314]

I went to a warehouse in Silvertown E16 called Thrift factory Kilo sale !! They had a massive selection you could spend a whole day there. They only allow some people to pick and choose as they are really exporting mostly. but They also do events , thrift factory £10 per kilo You need a strong back to go through the clothes as mostly in cages and trollies But it was worth it as many where Brand new with Tags

[@edannemiller4084]

The bins here mostly have clothing and purses in the bins. Glass things are on shelves around the outside walls. .

[@dropchuck]

One suggestion I have is go with your gut feeling when going through the bins. It doesn't cost but a few cents to pick it up. I have found many valuable items in those bins.

[@vernakooy501]

I found remotes to be really good. Just look up model.quickly in ebay.

[@carolp8243]

I love the bins. Ours closed due to the virus and I miss it so much. I do get to TX once and a while I need to look this one up to see if it's near where my daughter lives.

Those remotes will pay for your trip to the bins. I have no problem looking them up by model number on them. I just got two remotes someone was trashing that still worked and got $24 out of both.

Can I ask how you sell these? I have several from old devices and would love to get a return from them. I’m new to the resale game.

@@annaibarra3447 incorrect. Atleast for my local outlet. They get donations from people who go there instead of a regular goodwill to donate. Or goodwill won’t sell an item for a couple weeks and send it to an outlet store.
