I second the thought of going to the “other” thrift stores. I almost never go to goodwill anymore, I have a Restore and a mom and pop store that have better prices and selection.
Habitat for Humanity Restore has been good to me lately. I thought all of them were just building supplies for the longest time because the first 3 or 4 I went to were just that.
Back of the store typically has a big CLEARANCE banner. They do carry some non-brands that may appear to be a good deal but are actually just trash. Do your research as always and good luck!
Another place would be coin and stamp shops. These places buy out collections that include collectibles that are not coins or stamps because when they buy collections it is best to buy everything and sort out the items later. It gives them a better deal that way. I know this works because I have gotten a large quantity of non stamp and coin collectibles from 2 shops in my area. Just ask if they have collectibles they want to get rid of. Not every shop will work for you but when you get a shop that has what you want you will end up with a large quantity of merchandise.
Goodwill has prices that are "so low"??? In our area, Goodwill and most other thrift stores are expensive and they sell nothing but junk. I am shocked when I see videos showing quality items at Goodwill.
Same here. Went to 5 stores yesterday. Bought one profitable band t-shirt. Everything else is mall brands and Target/Walmart clothes literally selling for less on eBay.

Thnx for the tips
Never would have thought to check Office Max... There's three of them within like 20 miles of me. Guess I should go check them out!

The mom and pop thrift stores near me are the most expenplaces around. They price everything for the max value they see online.
That's always a bummer. Places like that can still miss a lot when it isn't straightforward to look up. (dishes, clothing, things without UPCs)
Thanks
Every flea market I've ever went to around me has everything priced at online prices and sometimes even higher

Great video. Also, be aware craigs and facebook stuff might be stolen. You can usually tell when it is by the person selling it. lol

They can be very hit or miss. A lot of the goodwills around me are absolutely awful.

Yea a lot of these TH-cam finds feel staged
Cool nonetheless and I know the possibilities
I’ve found so many gems in the thrift over the years
What kinds of locations are good to be in for these methods?
Buying pallets is like buying lottery. I would avoid it at all cost. Sure some can be profitable but a lot don’t. So why spend ton of money gambling?
Goodwill in Florida are over priced
Where the prints cash part?
