Thrifting Goodwills and Savers to Make Money! Selling on Ebay and Amazon FBA!

[@bdesousa03]

I love board games. I've sold hundreds of used ones on Amazon and it's the only product where I have never had a return. It's a pretty good little niche where people want to play the obscure games they can't find anymore and don't want to pay the super crazy high price sealed. My best ever find was a 99 cent game about traveling through europe or something. Small box. Thing sold for 80 dollars used! Don't sleep on them board games I tell ya.

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

If amazon allows it. Need to know a better trick on ebay.

[@kristiehutto962]

I'm liking the voice over. I wish more people would do that. Makes the video so much more clean. And no loud store people or music.

[@ThriftSchool]

Thank you! I recently switched to it this way because it sounds so much better. It takes me about three times the amount of time to edit now though lol

[@sytoriamcmahan6571]

Hi I would've keep the EBAY snow globe and used in my pictures as part of the background.

[@johnmainella3405]

Under Armour Golf Shirts do very well. Crazier the print the better. Tommy Bahama does well on Poshmark. Especially new items with tags.

[@Mark-ub8ce]

Thanks for being so transparent and honest, I have found some of your fellow KZbinr's to be very dishonest and lying about what they find at garage sales and thrift stores to get more viewers. I think seeing your videos of you actually buying the items makes it more believable.

[@ThriftSchool]

Thanks! Yeah I try to remain transparent, sometimes I find some insane things and I show those. Other times I find 1 or 2 items that will make me $20 lol, its the thrill of the hunt!

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

I live in CT. The SAVERS here re-shrink wrap some of their games and other items. Be careful. Just because it has shrink wrap doesn't mean it's new.

[@diyrob]

We source at the same Goodwills and Savers. That Savers is a hit or miss for us, mostly go there on half off days.

[@american236]

Heck with eBay or amazon. Imma open up a thrift store! Haha

[@H-H-GG]

I just wanted to say I love your videos, I look forward to them everyday and learning new tips from you, I don’t sell myself, but I’ve been wanting to more and more, keep up the good work!

[@cathw61]

Cervical traction things are great for those of us with neck issues. not sure how they sell, but I've done some of this at a physical therapy office off and on and they are great. Thinking about getting one for home, but always afraid I'm going to hurt myself, lol!

[@eclipsetradingcorp.8107]

Anyone here just vibing watching Thrift School after a few drinks on a Wednesday evening? No? Just me, alright cool cool

[@karenc8028]

😆

[@austinresells4771]

I just picked the same 80s Scene It game up at a local goodwill. I always love finding sealed board games 😀

[@jaidentslgl2753]

Guitar Hero Aerosmith was some good money, about $18.99 USD, which after fees would probably end up being $10 USD, the price you would have paid is $4 USD, the rank is currently at #65,904, and it would quick easy money

[@charlesoliphant4825]

some thrift store definitely do sometimes look up the prices if they think its worth money, but what happens is people dont buy it and it ends up sitting so long to the point they either end up dropping it in store or end up sending it to another partner store.

[@Nathan-xk7hm]

Buddy at 13:39 u missed a retro Toronto raptors jersey and they go for a lot of money and they are in the finals

[@jhats7593]

If you slow down the video it is not a Raptors jersey

[@joshlynch5676]

Are your eyes broken? Lol

[@chunky9791]

Decent video. Been doing this for years, another point is many good wills have 50% off color tag days or military discounts. Make sure to ask, every bit helps. I got a vintage polo RL 90s suit for 5 bucks (half off) full canvassed made in Italy sold for 185! Just gotta know when & what to look for. Also, shipping is huge research before buying anything. Actually flipped a few crt tvs (pain in the ass to ship but paying 15 for a 125 or more TV I'll deal with it!)

[@alexlokks4067]

hey thrift school i really like your videos. by anychance can you make a video on how to package your amazon box and how to start an account to begin sending the boxes. i currently own an amazon account.

[@stanleyyelnats8604]

I wouldve flipped if I found that many nee yankee candles. Im obsessed with them

[@emmanuelromero9370]

Maybe you should do a video on how to take the stickers off. I’m just curious on what to use.

[@JV-ko6ov]

I found a board game with missing pieces that still sold for 30$, was really old and really rare

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I cant imagine a store this large didnt have valuables. Just what you specifically want. First time I saw a video. From CONNECTICUT. WE DONT HAVE A SAVERS.😣

[@Sillysoft]

Yep I have that same issue at my local Goodwills with video games. The good ones almost always are missing the CD's inside because someone took it. I would be like, yes! Found this game worth decent money and they only charge $2 per game here and you open it up and the CD is missing or its a different CD. Ugh! You can actually tell the good ones being taken because they dont even put them back anymore, they just lay the case on its side on top of the rest of the games.

[@joan2171]

I would have picked up the Tommy Bahama, that brand sells good for me in the summer also the linen shirts are perfect for the beach! I put beach wear as a key word and it seems to help.

[@ILive4saturdays]

Build a bear paw patrol you missed out on. I always grab build a Bears. 50 cents to $8-$20 Easy grab.

[@spiritualwarrior864]

Wats that? A toy?

[@ILive4saturdays]

Spiritual Warrior yes. A bear or it can be a cartoon character. Plush.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

I found an old playstation 1 game in our stack of games from a yardsale and its just a random paintball game and looked up sold on Ebay and they sell for 25-30 bucks so I pick up any old ps1 games

[@ThriftSchool]

Nice find!

[@rollingwithstones]

I loved Kay Bee Toys as a kid!

[@jewelm1042]

I'm loving your videos 👍. I'm learning which items to sell on Amazon but I was wondering if you already made a video on beginner's guide for amazon reselling. I'd appreciate if you can direct me to it. Thanks and more power to your channel and business 😀

[@mannydhinsa3088]

Lego video games can go for quite a bit, always sell on Amazon FBA

[@fabricak2345]

that UNITED cd looked very original!

[@TheNesbittExperience]

Great content! I’m also in CT and thrift like crazy! I find Savers prices to be outrageous. I like Goodwill and my local smaller thrifts.

[@tinapullen6421]

I'm in Ct too

[@jone.4111]

@ThriftSchool I got a game for you that I saw in this vid. Hip-Hop Dance Experience for the Nintendo Wii. Price charting has loose disc at $7, I always get $12 for a Complete copy, never sold for less than $10 on Ebay. Keep an eye out for it if you find it at the right price. Currently $13 lowest Used FBA, ranked 3k in video games.

[@ThriftSchool]

Thanks for the tip! I had no clue. Itll be a gane I look out for in the $1-2 range. At $4+tax it wouldnt really be worth it, like the Savers had it priced at, but at Yard Sales it would totally be worth the pick up

[@Noah-tq7bi]

Sadly I’ve NEVER checked out a Savers store here in Austin 😫 definitely will after watching this tho. Get those profits everyone!😋

[@xtrajordanary]

Noah Fellow Austinite here, bought an Ember heated coffee mug at the Leander Savers for $3, sold it for $25. Also found a pair of Adidas NMD new with tags for $25. They don't hit often, but when they do 👌🏽.

[@unusualsheep9626]

Your goodwill goes crazy with the label gun.

[@zilloworld2303]

Many Goodwills do that now. It makes it harder for scammers to change the labels.

[@candicecart9786]

I agree- it’s probably bc they had a bunch of ppl switching tags which probably became even more popular after that maclamore thrift shop song

[@robsdeviceunknown]

No Savers down here in Georgia. My local Goodwill is bad but we have a route were doing this weekend to hit several around Atlanta.

[@dragonzage]

Rob Lambert There’s this one large goodwill in Decatur and it has some pretty good stuff there.

[@22xpz]

[@definitedoll]

Savers might also be known as Value Village in other parts of the USA

[@lynne99]

Toys are where it's at, that poopsie surprise unicorn you passed up in the toy section can go for 30$ used

[@DannyoffireAwaken]

New tarot cards do sell well. The more unique decks especially. I love that Polaroid camera.

[@ncman83]

I will buy board games opened from time to time. People do lose pieces and some crafters use pieces and boards for craft projects. Just depends on the mood im in

[@adelebussiere774]

The blocks look like the box was a little damaged on the corners. Didn't know Amazon would take such an item.? Actually thought everything had to be new. For them have not tried to Do Amazon yet Trying to study it first enjoyed your video ty

[@patriciagaughan696]

I go to the savers in Milford and Meriden and I always find awesome finds. Those are the stores I go to first before I go to the GW

[@angelamiller9587]

Can't believe you left the new Tommy Bahama!

[@BassMusic123]

Angela Miller the resell value that isn’t too high. Would’ve sold $20, $30 max. Probably make a $10 profit after shipping + fees

[@jaidentslgl2753]

@@BassMusic123 Even if it had a slightly higher profit rate, ThriftSchool probably wouldn't have bought the Tommy Bahama because he doesn't like messing with clothes as much as other items

[@skybluepink998]

oooooh vintage tarot cards -I can't resist those-

[@lucasmoncevicius]

At 9:20 in your video there is a board game Nyctophobia which in the board game world still sells for good money.

[@deb8549]

There are rarely any good finds at my local thrifts. I think the managers hold every good item for themselves. They may "buy" it for some measly amount and ship it off to Amazon themselves lol.

[@henrie.c]

The Yankee candle sell for less than $10 in Marshall’s...not worth getting them to resell...just my opinion...oh by the way, that Camera goes for about $70

[@BigLeo7205]

fyi Savers puts the game discs at the front now

[@jmdilley02]

Well if the copy of nfl street for ps2 at 2:11 was complete and in good condition you could have made $2-$3 profit if you sold it for $12 on Ebay but I am not sure how much it may be worth on Amazon and if you would make more selling it on Amazon! Also I see that someone sold nba street and nfl street both complete for ps2 for $24.95 on Ebay so you would have about doubled your money depending on your shipping cost!

[@lf2334]

I didn't think you could mix and match items to send to Amazon. How do you go about putting 5 different unique items in 1 shipment for Amazon? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

[@BlueKutsu]

Thanks for the video, man! Are you able to sell Polaroids untested? If not, have you had people return them if they don't work, or do you sell them as parts? I'm just wondering if it's worth picking them up if you need to buy film to test them..

[@mymidlifemessiness]

Fun haul! Thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard about the Target/Goodwill thing. I wondered how you were able to buy food there. 😂

[@ThriftSchool]

Yeah! Its crazy. They buy a lot from Target in my area. Ive found lots of new video games that way

[@guruman5000]

Do you list the new condition products you pick up as “new” on Amazon? Or “used-like new”

[@donmiddaugh5855]

I dont understand how you sell on Amazon? Like if you have more than 1 item do you still just put it all in one box to ship to them? Do you have to have a postage printer? There is just so much i don't understand.

[@MrLee204]

Do you test your polaroids? If so how? With film or the empty cartridge way?

[@jjnyc4610]

I know you don’t do clothes...i love men’s clothes to sell...I would have grabbed the Jets shirt😍 Also I see you have the 80s Scene it game...I bought a new in box Scene it from a Goodwill 2 YEARS AGO that sucker will NOT move..I had it listed originally for 18.00 now I have it down to 12.00😢😢😢I don’t do amazon yet just EBay...it’s an original Scene it with no particular theme in the plain blue box. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. My husband said to just re donate it..paid 4 bucks for it originally. The ones you have sold were they all “ themed”?😳

[@diannholland]

I am restricted on Wilton ANYTHING. How would we get unrestricted if we have a cake pan from them that we purchased a long time ago, and don't have the receipt?

[@milliemcgillivray9276]

how do you get restricted on Wilton?

[@diannholland]

@@milliemcgillivray9276 I assume because I am not a "REGISTERED SELLER" for Wilton.

Rocksmith is a good one. Theres money in that one.

[@arocifications6471]

Do u have a special barcode app to use or do u just use the one on Amazon???

[@kiaduffin8781]

Yes savers is high

[@nickk4010]

Do you bubble wrap the new stuff (like the 80s scene it and neck thing) when you send it FBA even if it doesn’t require it? I always bubble wrap my new stuff and other things, but don’t know if I’m just wasting time and money.

[@ThriftSchool]

No I dont. I havent bubble wrapped stuff like that ever in the 5ish years ive been doing this

[@nickk4010]

ThriftSchool Thank you! good to know, I’ll save some money on bubble wrap

[@CreampuffK]

Just checked out your Ebay store man, its kinda pricey. I know its probably the numbers you need to make some money, but comparing other listings for some stuff, yours was the most expensive

[@stanleyjames-oz4bf]

Nice haul and love watching your videos

[@TheRecordTrader]

That NBA Street 2 sells. As long as it was in there! ;)

[@dimeandbiggie353]

Lord knows I'd buy it

[@thebackwardglance9363]

Wow, they are very thorough with their tagging! Three stickers on each item? Nice video btw.

[@ThriftSchool]

Oh yeah! Its crazy, sometimes Ill find stuff with 6-8 tags

[@AlexMichaud]

Great haul! New in boxes are the best easy money!

[@debc4788]

my goodwill said they have to put the tags over the brand on bottom of cups. Don't get that.

[@tonylenzi166]

Thats wierd, the saver that was in my area i used to make a killing, always really cheap and killer stuff, but then one day i went to go in and it was closed, like a month later it became a goodwill, theres decent stuff there but the goodwills here are usually over priced, altho i found 1980 pacman there few weeks ago for 2 bux, few other good things but savers def was waaaaaaaayyyy better

[@luckysweetheartvintage476]

Do you go to LOCAL thrift shops? Goodwill, Savers, St Vincent de Paul and Salvation Army are such a ripoff! And their profits go to C-Suite Executives who earn $230K per year while paying staff minimum wage.

[@jaidentslgl2753]

Wait, St Vincent de Paul is in America?

That Starting Lineup figurine at 4:12 would've made you some money, looks to be in great condition and although I'm pretty sure it's Barry Bonds someone still would've paid up for it.

Is there a way to scan UPC codes for Ebay instead of always having to type in items to check prices?

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Yeah Ebays mobile app.

[@tonylenzi166]

Hit search bar then a little camera icon will apear on the right sidd of it hit that and you can scan upc from there

[@cf-ry1zo]

I guess that's on the old app. I called Ebay and they said that the new app doesn't offer that feature anymore. I did find a separate scanner app that connects to Ebay that seems to be working well. Tried it out today and I had good results. Thanks all for the responses😊

[@jrall83]

Old app? I have the current eBay app and I use the camera scanner everyday.

[@cf-ry1zo]

@@jrall83 I'm not sure. Mine doesn't have it. I called Ebay and rep said that they don't offer it anymore. I know someone said it might work with iPhone. Not sure, but I did find an app scanner that ties with Ebay so I'm happy about that.
