@@Thomas-Skaa False. Different areas have different product flows. In addition to that, Goodwills price their items differently. The Goodwills near me ship ALL their video game stuff to a central location. Once it’s at that location, every item is looked up against price charting and then priced accordingly. So while they have “good” items, they are priced at around (or sometimes above) eBay prices. That’s not sometimes true. It’s always true.
@@leeartlee915 unless you work for them and do that you are just talking out your ass with stuff you think sounds good. your saying them ship every game away. then ship them all back to the store. no. if they get shipped they get put online or sent to goodwill bins or thrown away. they price in house. anything sent away is sent away to not be sent back.
Every video game collector is crying rightnow watching this video and thinking about how none of there thrift stores put out video games. RIP to all resellers and collectors watching this in disbelief. 1 like = 1 tear for all of us who dont have thrift stores that put out video games
You know why you can’t find these kind of deals anymore? Resellers. Resellers have jumped to such high numbers that the market had to react. Why do you think Goodwill has a dedicated online store to selling retro games now? The Goodwills near me just straight up no longer carry video games. Oh they’ll take your donations but all video games go to a online center. Thanks Amazon resellers. Way to make that company even richer and the market go to crap.
In all honesty, this is my local thrift store and the amount of brand new sealed to like new PS4 games etc. I buy for $5-$10 is amazing and shocking. They are all usually $30-$60 valued games! I don’t buy them to sell but to add to my collection, but you can make some serious profit here sometimes. A family friend of mines used to work there and told me that they would get so many good video games, electronic, etc. but that they would all be in the back and would take them out one buy one to not cause any fights over them haha.
Nope. say we find a rare game that only 10 exist. unless you lived in that state and went to the thirft at that time would you find it. so we find hidden stuff and get it to people who would not be able to find it otherwise. THe market value is not made by us. its made by what people are willing to pay due to supply. The games and stuff would be worth even more if no one was finding them and selling them/ If all games sales where still local face to face some games would be worth millions that are worth like $300 right now
@@ThriftSchool I stopped in and got a basic gyro the first time I went and loved it. I've been more experimental on repeat visits but it's such a great place. I enjoy their kebabs and I never had bolani before, but it's got spinach inside which I'm not even a fan of, and I loved it.
The best game I ever found at red white & blue was Persona 1 CIB and a couple other $80-100 PS1 games… since then they put all the video games behind the counter lol
Do you ever sell on Facebook market place? Or is that a bad option to do that? Because I sold on FB market place people buy anything on there idk just curious.
I always go at random times on random days. Ive done challenges where I go every day during the week and its always random. I dont think there is a best day or time.
@Nbro@@ThriftSchool for red white and blue, I found that the most random times and days happen to be the best. They take things out every hour or two so you really never know what can come out while your looking for things in the media section.
At min 2:20 he shows a pop up for Godzilla on Xbox. The sales price is 120$, the amazon fees are 22,50$. The gross profit is 97,50$. Minus the buy cost of 15$, minus shipping it to amazon, probably just 50cents if you send a full box. So he would make about 82$ on that game. Crazy good find. Not something you find every day.
@@lestforce4810 Please don't use my comment to have a pop at Jesse. Thanks. (I hope he knows that) I'm oy joshing him. Nothing gets damaged so everything is fine 🙂 .
It would be nice if you did a haul with at theme to things to buy like in 4 of July only buy red white and blue things and see how much money you can get also love your videos
Damn man, I really don’t know how to feel about EVERYBODY reselling everything and picking Goodwiills and pawn shops clean. For people who genuinely need these places to get stuff for their kids/family and can’t afford to go elsewhere, would be nice to find a GameCube or some games in good condition. People are even grabbing up the board games and movies now too, and strictly for reselling not even to collect for themselves
We left the gamecube behind. Plus it was $50 without cords or a controller. Thats not very affordable anyways. Id recommend going to an actual game store and spending like $75 to get a full setup. If you notice. The store is massive I grabbed like 20-30 items out of literally 10s of thousands of items. This place was nowhere near picked clean, same with every other store I go to. I grab a few things to make my living with plus I help people by showing them how they can do it as well. If people are struggling with money (just like I was before I started reselling) then watch a few of my or someone elses videos and learn how to flip a few things. Its helpful, fun, and keeps donated goods out of landfills.
@@ThriftSchool I wasn’t knocking you man, I understand the hustle and you have your own family to feed. There are just so many resell channels on TH-cam now and they all hit up same places; as a kid who grew up with nothing I was just remembering how happy I got when my mom came home with something cool for me on random days
Man.. that much video game stuff at a Goodwill in 2022. That is insane. I would be shocked to even find a fraction of that.
its dumb to think like that. its all random. each day you walk in there can be stuff. probably happens daily just people buy them before you get them.

You have a great friend to share his finds and give them to you nice to see
2:25 Those Japanese PS2 games are Dynasty Warriors.
Correct
Hey saw you on the HBO Max special about Beanie Babies. They had a quick clip of you
Did they not get his consent?
Yup! They asked if I could give them permission for a clip... they also paid me :)
Nice! Easy money and get your name out there
How cool what's it called?
Amazing scores at the thrift!!!
Thanks dude. Always finding stuff. The more you go the more you find. Love the channel BTW. Im sure ive said it to you before lol

Your Goodwill's and thrift stores are so much better than ours!
Agreed mine are horrible
Connecticut thrifts blow most away
CT is pretty wealthy. People just donate everything

Just wish we had charity shops that size in the UK!
:( come to USA!
@@ThriftSchool hope to come back another day, but with different aims ;)
Nice haul! One of my favorite resellers to watch!
Note to self: Go to thrift stores and buy cheap otherwise resellers will charge you double.
Yeah, I wish I could hit them up before the resellers but I have to work in the mornings. When I hit them up after work, there is not much left.

That lego was expensive, but there are people that buy random bags of lego by the pound like its meat. Kinda funny
Is that Waterbury Big Lots? There's actually a very good Afghani restaurant across the street from there called Hasna's Grill. Highly recommended.
Sure is!!
Ill give it a try. Never had afghani food before.

This came up in my recommendations and I'm freaking out cause I think this is my favorite thrift store in my area???
Haha, when I first found this channel I freaked too. It’s the RW&B in Waterbury, CT :)
@@nash211 YES I KNEW IT. Thank you for confirming I'm not imagining things lol
Wish I could find games in thrift stores again. Least I found Black Ops 1 in a Goodwill for like 1.99 last year.
I had that Batman board game when I was a kid. It was a fun one!
Sweet! I think im keeping it for a bit
Nice
At 9:05 did that guy ask you for pot? Lol
Man you must live in a good city. The one Goodwill where I live has nothing good for old video games. It's all sports and dance games.
I dont live here, its about 35 mins away. Maybe try heading out to some other towns/cities?
Love to find a youtuber in my hometown, I bought those Japan ps2 games your friend put back for my collection.
Oh sweet. They were pretty cool, those games. Glad you got them
I didnt see the price but disney kinect rush goes for a bit on xbox. I havent found good games in so long. Other than a zelda gold cart for $4 today
Nice Zelda find! I rarely find good priced retro retro games
Good video Thanks for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦💯
Thank you for watching! Glad u enjoyed
The best game I ever found at red white & blue was Persona 1 CIB and a couple other $80-100 PS1 games… since then they put all the video games behind the counter lol
Nice score
Goodddd stafff nice video...
Commenting just for Dante’s cove, still waiting on a fourth season lol
Where’s a good place to get bulk shipping supplies?
Is Music category the same as AudioCD category on Amazon? I see you reference music all of the time but not too much AudioCD.
Yes they are the same
One of the bags filled with games had a super smash brawl game in there
Dang! Missed it
Do you ever sell on Facebook market place? Or is that a bad option to do that? Because I sold on FB market place people buy anything on there idk just curious.
I think he sells on most big platforms, just depends on the items.
Ive sold on FB marketplace before but only local pickup. I dont like to ship through there
4:24 oh boy it's paprika the one anime movie I can't find anywhere to steam
Never seen it. Maybe ill give it a watch
@@ThriftSchool its very good. Memories is also a great watch. Nice finds man.
In your opinion, what are the best times/days to go thrifting ? Do you make an effort to do super early too ?
I always go at random times on random days. Ive done challenges where I go every day during the week and its always random. I dont think there is a best day or time.
@Nbro@@ThriftSchool for red white and blue, I found that the most random times and days happen to be the best. They take things out every hour or two so you really never know what can come out while your looking for things in the media section.
When you go through amazon to sell is the fba that you show(is that what shipping is). Thinking of starting amazon
At min 2:20 he shows a pop up for Godzilla on Xbox. The sales price is 120$, the amazon fees are 22,50$. The gross profit is 97,50$. Minus the buy cost of 15$, minus shipping it to amazon, probably just 50cents if you send a full box. So he would make about 82$ on that game. Crazy good find. Not something you find every day.
My goodwill looks everything up and sells all the good stuff online. Randomly I find Gamecube games though.
Thats rough. A few of mine do also
👍
:)
I don't know why, but I always feel anxious when you throw/drop games/dvds/etc into your trolley 😅.
Lol! I totally understand, but ive been doing this for years and nothing ever gets damaged in the cart, even though it may look like it.
It’s definitely poor handling, regardless if they don’t get damaged.
@@lestforce4810 it just shows he going to resell I would never throw anything I’d own like that

@@michaeltrinkely1549 He does it with the items he gets to keep. It's just his way. We all have our own style.
Imagine working at goodwill part-time and still being a flipper, you would make some serious bank
Canada Amazon is so much different id grab so many of those games
Yeah US amazon changed a lot over the past few years
What app do you use to find out prices?
Amazon seller app and ebay app
@@ThriftSchool what's the difference between the 99c vs the other membership for Amazon seller?
i think that ps2 game with the arrows was dynasty warriors 4
Honestly legos are super expensive so 125$ don’t seem too bad even for resale
Its a tough call. If there were a bunch of minifigs Id probably grab em
How profitable is this? I’m tryin to resell in my own field but I was thinking of expanding to this.
You dropped his 100 dollar Godzilla game 😆
Lol. Im a bad friend
Where the hell is this? An NES and a game cube?
I had a question, on Amazon is there any other fees besides shipping fees, monthly fees, and fee per item?
what other fee would there be? a fee to breath?
It would be nice if you did a haul with at theme to things to buy like in 4 of July only buy red white and blue things and see how much money you can get also love your videos
Fun idea! Ill think about doing something like this.
😃
Still got the copy to dreamland I got a case and manual for it I’ll sell you or buy the game from you let me know
Now i understand why games have scratchea
I'm surprised they let him keep the case for that Kirby game. They never just offer up the case when they can't find a game.
Sometimes you just gotta be really nice :)
you found a gold mind with them tubs of lego
I left them all. They seemed a bit high on price since I didnt see any minifigs
@@ThriftSchool i agree the price was bad
😎👍
You can make a GTA trilogy lot
I have black sheep movie
A stocked thrift shop is not even a thing in my area. After resellers strip them clean, all that’s left are the dregs.
Can you lot up the ones that weren't worth anything. Collect tons of games
Did your friend end up buying the import games? I'm possibly interested in them if you can shoot me his eBay!
I think he bought them to keep
@@ThriftSchool thanks for letting me know!
👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
theres nothing in my thrifts. its 90% empty
Dang :( try pawn shops
Deer in the headlights not to good on ebay.Took me 2-4 months to sell mine.
Yup. Too cheap of a game
Don't sleep on backyard baseball 2010 -30$ on Amazon
Good to know. Thanks!
We don't have anything even remotely as good here anymore. I fuckin hate it man, they used to be really good and now I waste gas driving to them now.
That sucks. Try pawn shops maybe
