The GW in South Carolina are mainly just empty shelves, but if they do have stuff it’s just thrown on the shelves with no organization at all. Must less by color. You may have coffee mugs on same shelf as adult diapers. You are SO lucky.

[@CandyHolladay]

I am so jealous of y'all's Goodwills! When we first moved to Denver in 2020 (yes in Covid) we were fooled as I found so much. Now the shelves racks are half empty - I think with most people out shopping in stores now plus the fact the GW in CO pulls a lot of items to sell online has emptied out the stores a bit. Luckily there are so many great ways to source here other thrifts, sales, etc. that I still find a lot.

[@belleplaine6542]

That may have been a Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage platter that you placed the blue/white checkerboard teapot on. These can do well, especially around holidays (depending on how crazy Goodwill's price is, of course!). Thanks for your videos - so enjoyable!

[@paulinewhiteley7908]

I noticed that as well. If they are from Portugal e.g the Bordallo etc they are worth quite a bit. I have been selling several pieces lately and they made a very good profit.

I live in a really small Montana town with a really small Goodwill Store, so we don't have a black isle or any color isle, we have a hard goods isle, wood isle, plastic and coffee mug isle and pots and pans isle then the rest is clothing shoes and linens. Our store is so small that furniture is turned away at the donation drop off. When I make the drive to the city once a month, I do go to every color isle because I am so excited by the choices.

I am converting to estate sales instead of GWs due to pricing and too many sellers. At the good sales, I pick up many comped items and determine the price point I want to pay..it's pretty good if you buy enough..I try to stay within a $2 to $5 price point and then try to sell the items for at least $35 to $40.. some higher if possible. The GWs by me in S. FL are not that great..not like they used to be..but then again..sometimes you can get lucky.♥️🙀🐱 Loved those glass lamps, and Roger is a sweetheart.

I love that Burberry jacket. If I bought something like that, I would just find a good tailor to repair it or even attempt to repair the holes myself with a bit of careful thread work. I have a woven textured red with black Woolrich jacket that I absolutely love. The thinner black wool lining needs some minor repairing and de-pilling, but the 100% wool outer fabric is as if new. I've had it for maybe 25 years and got it on sale at a dept store when lived in Va. The Burberry is worth more than my Woolrich, but they were both made with such high quality and are a classic style that will really hold up for decades!

I once found a Burberry trench in college down south, still have it in my closet. I hope your find is real! Our GWs here in Madison have been jacking prices up. I asked cashiers at one store about it, the line was that someone (maybe someone in the regional office?) has a list of brands, and they price according to that. It's been more noticeable with clothes than housewares, but every now and then I see something on the shelf that I almost drop due to sticker shock. If they weren't getting pretty much everything in their stores for free, a hike might be justified. But nope. Another quality video, thanks Karen.
