We call the indian instruments : The rainstick ( A rainstick is a long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles or beans that has small pins or thorns arranged helically on its inside surface. When the stick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, making a sound reminiscent of rain falling. ) We have them also here in Canada.
Regarding replacement belts for tape players: you can buy a bag of 100 belts on eBay of various sizes / lengths for less than $2 (free shipping). Then you remove the old belt and find one from the bag that is roughly the equivalent length and thickness. I've done this many times without any issues. No reason to spend $20 on a few tiny pieces of rubber.
I wouldn't suggest using rubber bands unless you just need a temporary fix. The material in rubber bands is not quite the same as in cassette belts, which are designed to last for decades.
You can ramble anytime Pete. I'm listening. Thank you for the pointer on the cassette tape! It's the little things. And thank you for bearing the elements!
Thanks for making these thrifting videos Pete. I live way out in the country and still am able to make a decent amount of money on ebay. When things get slow for me (usually in winter) these videos really give me incentive to hustle harder. Thank you.
Excellent video with some more information. Been doing reselling since eBay started in 1996 but your videos helped me expand with new items to resell. Thanks!
I want snow in England. Our climate we don't really get snow like that. After you have been doing it for years like Pete has you know what sells. I am seeing what I can get around these parts. The issue really is we don't have goodwill here, we have charity shops. Many have been raising prices with the digital age as its easier to figure out valuations. The prices flew up over the years. Not saying that's bad but when a charity is trying to make money the prices should be reasonable as well. I always say if charities want to shift stuff, don't hike prices. I have always like the goodwill system as some of them raise for more than one charity :)
Shopping seems to be the easier part. Selling is the tougher part. Be cool to see another video showing the process of how you get these items to sell.
Craiglist Hunter is a well-known reseller in Illinois. I also resale and I have been ask on different Platt forms if I know him because I live in Chicago I don't sell many hard goods. If I am flipping and selling he sure is big time.
Not hating. Learning alot from craigslist hunter. Even if there are previous sold items, its still not easy peasy for the item to just sell. Be cool to see the process of him selling the specific items in this video, how long he keeps it in inventory, what he does during waiting times, etc.
The pewter set is gorgeous! A real find & great bargain Pete! Great things find you because you are such a good person, so willing to share your knowledge. Stay warm! Cheers!
Not sure if it's just my area or not, but it's pretty easy to make 100$+ a day thrifting with a quick turnover rate (less than a month) on the items. Great video.
I love your work ethic and attitude. I was making good money thriftin and flipping on eBay. I started drinking heavily again and lost my eBay and PayPal account. it's a struggle for me every day. I am so happy for you Pete.
Im almost 4 yrs sober. It is still a struggle, especially if I get riled up by something. But I surrounded myself with non-drinking friends, dont go to bars PERIOD and had learn a different skills set to cope. Good luck and KEEP FIGHTING!!
You'd be surprised how many of those are for sale on your local Craigslist, too, from private parties. Lots of people never open gifts or an item got put in storage and forgotten about. We have tons of sealed stuff on my local craigslist. I have made some amazing buys.
Woah, that's a coincidence, just watched your other 100 bucks flip video... keep up the great work, Pete, it really helps + it's interesting and entertaining to watch.
Great vid.. Ive sold thrift items on eBay before.. But ive been discouraged lately, because some items take so long to sell..mostly clothes..but ..I'm glad i came across this video..now I'll be focusing on different items, other than just clothes.
Pete -Thanks from Minnesota cold coming your way.. I am a retired high school auto shop teacher now selling vintage hot rod parts. Just sold a set of seat belts I got free from a guy and I had literary had thrown them in the trash can. I ran the part numbers on Ebay and listed them when I saw what they were selling for.! Easy $200 Thanks for the Hustle Harder t shirt . Maybe see you in Minnesota this summer on a fishing trip, Thanks for the motivation.
Most times I go to the thrift store, I can find $100+ worth of profit, but that's not to say I sell $100 worth of profit every day. People who do this full time definitely can if they have enough items in their store.
Manfrotto Tripod 6:58 I think you can flip that, I bought a Benro tripod for $17 and surprised on the retail for $200 bucks just for the legs and $150 for the head.
There was a big story on the news here about how donations to thrift stores are on the rise since Marie Kondo's show on Netflix has been airing. Apparently people are now obsessed with discarding. Something to look forward to!
@@lisac.7673 Good point. I was looking at it only from my perspective: throw your stuff out so I can acquire it. But yes, I could see how there will be an impact on retail.
Hey Pete 7:00 you passed up a Manfrotto Tripod... might have been a good one. Manfrotto product does well. Thanks for sharing... you show that it's not that hard to source $100 a day profit... listing & selling are another video LOL
Here in UK you cannot donate or buy any electrical items let alone try in store. And then some people work there to have rapid access to useful valuable items. We get leftovers not much left for profit unless they miss something which is unlikely. We get left with old tat.
No problem. When you get your LM version home download the Garmin Express App (free) and you can easily update them to latest software for free. They will bring in a bit more that way. Peace, time to hit up the pawn shops. @@late_arvie
I don't bother grabbing GPS's much nowadays !! You forgot to TEST the battery and share it with us. Sometimes you buy a GPS and the battery don't hold a charge,,,,this was the 1st test I did at yardsales. Great video.....Big Thumb$ UP 🌴😎👍
Back in 2005 I got my first GPS (Mitac Mio 168 Pocket PC) and I barely knew anyone else with a GPS. Fast forward a few years to the smartphone era and everyone and their dog has one. Since 2014 and getting my first smartphone, I continue to use TomTom but as an app on it.
My problem is how to do 3 things in a timely manner: taking good pictures, creating the listings and packaging things. I don't have too hard a time sourcing. Also I have a hard time with procrastination and perfectionism because a lot of items I source are more than sellable but often require a bit of cleaning/prep/testing. And because I think I'm not going to be thorough enough or I don't have the right tools on hand to clean or test, I put off doing it for way too long. So, yes I definitely could make $100 a day but because of my inefficiencies, it would probably add up to 12 hours of work. Totally my own fault. I know there's better ways of doing things and the more you do it the better you get. I still work full-time and need to learn how to not be lazy and push through a bit of tiredness after my day job to put in the effort.
I went into Goodwill the other day and have not been there in awhile they have become very good at weeding out the good stuff for themselves and prices are high. To my surprise they raised the price 2 dollars on everything, reduced their color tags sale from two colors to one and really jacked prices up on their so called boutique and electronics. So I spent way to much time in there to find not much worth buying. I did find a DVD VCR Combo they wanted 45 but it was a good one. Plugged it in and it would not turn on, so I gave it to them at the counter. The woman summoned some guy from the back told him it wasn't working and he just took it and put it right back on the shelf. I looked at the woman and said "really?" So what they want is some poor sole to buy it without testing then hey have their money because there are no refunds. She went on to say to me whispering, " I know, it has gotton so bad here we have lost all our regular customers and look at the store "...meaning how loaded to the gill it is.

When its 30 dollars for a shirt its time to go!...lol
Goodwill up here has largely been terrible too but I did luck out earlier this week and found a 100 disc home cd changer for $20. And comps on eBay show it selling at about $150 + shipping. The downside is, it’s going to be a pain to ship because it’s a bit on the large side.
Pete if you're waiting until 4-5pm to check out that store each time could be why you're not finding anything good in there!! :) Joking though :) Thanks for showing us we can do it and its very possible!! *Have a good'nnn*
Please double check the dog vitamins on the FDA recall list (there is a pet section). They may have an ingredient or ingredients that have been recalled due to numerous pet owners/vets reporting issues. Thanks.
Pete, you'll never guess what that instrument is called... it's actually called a Shaker, or sometimes a Samba Shaker. That one is unusual, probably hand made, and longer than most. I'd ask more than you said for it, you can always dicker down. Hand made one of a kind is going to be worth more than the machine made stuff. A lesser machine made one is 30 bucks for one half the size.
Hey Pete, I have the Sony Surround sound speaker system to go with that blu ray player. I think I have a player like that too. Shipping will keep most from buying the speaker system it's large and heavy with the big amplified subwoofer box. The subwoofer alone usually goes for 60 on the bay, and the other speakers 40 to 80, but the few I found that sold as complete systems didn't do as well. I'm wondering if I should split it up.
Hi I was wondering if you remove the price they put on the bottom of those Edmond shoes? If so what do you use? My good will uses market or chalk and write on most items. Thanks for the info and I love your channel!
Mark Tumpalan First thing I would try is a magic eraser. Goo gone might work as well if you let it sit on there for awhile. Paint thinner would be my last resort.
Pete- I think those vintage Royal typewriters can fetch good money. $200 + in the comps depending on age and working condition per sold listings. Might be worth going back to get for $20 if in working condition. You ever sold any of those before??
Yes I do sell plenty of typewriters that one was only worth 50 to 60 and they ware asking $25 so not inoff meet on the bone. Thanks for watching. Cheers !!
I bought a Garmin at Goodwill recently figuring I couldn't lose on it, but they're not worth what they use to be. I guess it's because everyone has a GPS on their phone now. Decided to just keep it for myself as a backup.
Great video as always Pete! I would have looked at the Manfrotto tripod at 7:02, sometimes they sell for decent profit. I have a question about reselling. It's easy to find out what something will probably sell for with completed listings and Worthpoint, but I find it difficult to know what will sell quickly. Is this all a matter of experience, or is they a way to determine what items sell quickly? Thank you.
Sorry, I’m not Pete, but I think I could answer your question. When searching for comps check the number of how many available, and how many sold. The amount that it shows sold were sold in the past 90 days (how long ebay keeps the listing), and of course active is your competition. Figure it as a math ratio, if 30 available / 2 sold - 15:1 bad sell through, 2 available / 30 sold 1:15 means they are begging you to list it!!! Also check the spread if highest sold for is lower then cheapest available then it could sell instantly if you price around the middle. Hope this helps. P.S. your right manfrotto tripod can be really good, I flipped one last year $50 to $350.
instrument is didgeridoo? Australian thing.. I picked up a used sony camcorder for $10 at a local thrift store. it came with the charger which I sold for $50 :) I kept the camcorder a youtube prop for my channel.
Hey CL Hunter, i gotta question. Where is the best place to look up the value of a specific magazine? There's a magazine in Amazon right now listed for $5,001. It's in pretty rough shape too. I have the exact same magazine in near mint condition. So I'm thinking the seller is crazy or maybe it is worth a few bucks. I don't really know where to look though. Any suggestions?
Great video Pete, I also carry a extra testing cassette tape with me when sourcing its saved me more then i can count. Making a $100 bucks a day thrifting is really not that hard if you have the knowledge and know how, Specially if you use craigslist/ FB marketplace. Great video with tons of useful info. Thanks for sharing
I've realized to go all the way to selling and having the $100 in your account everyday. I need to source at least $150 or more profit worth of items a day.
They are too limited because they are phone-based only. Most of my ton of customers do not find my merchandise on a phone. I still use a desktop (like Pete) for all listings. That's why Craigslist reaches more potential buyers, including people who are using a computer at the library and do not even own a phone or desktop!
Hi All the way from South Africa Cape Town Always great videos and great tips Our market here much smaller than in the states Trying also to make it here

Great description Leylla!!!!
@@user-dv2mc6vd9e Nope. A Didgeridoo is an instrument you play by blowing into it.
A comment a rainsticks?

Then you remove the old belt and find one from the bag that is roughly the equivalent length and thickness. I've done this many times without any issues.

sometimes you can simply use a rubber band of the right size and thickness. I buy the asssorted rubber bands and often one will work.
I wouldn't suggest using rubber bands unless you just need a temporary fix. The material in rubber bands is not quite the same as in cassette belts, which are designed to last for decades.
@@ZachAttackIsBack Yeah, rubber bands will dry out pretty fast, Even if they're not being used.
You can ramble anytime Pete. I'm listening. Thank you for the pointer on the cassette tape! It's the little things. And thank you for bearing the elements!

Hey Pete, I have the Sony Surround sound speaker system to go with that blu ray player. I think I have a player like that too. Shipping will keep most from buying the speaker system it's large and heavy with the big amplified subwoofer box. The subwoofer alone usually goes for 60 on the bay, and the other speakers 40 to 80, but the few I found that sold as complete systems didn't do as well. I'm wondering if I should split it up.
My advise. Sell the player, forget the rest. Full setups that sell 150-200, people will buy the player 100-150.
Keep it up Pete! You are always great help!

Great video as always Pete! I would have looked at the Manfrotto tripod at 7:02, sometimes
they sell for decent profit. I have a question about reselling. It's easy to find out what something will probably
sell for with completed listings and Worthpoint, but I find it difficult to know what will sell quickly. Is this

Also check the spread if highest sold for is lower then cheapest available then it could sell instantly if you price around the middle. Hope this helps.

It was a cold day in Chicagoland. Tomarrow is supposed to be much colder. -30 with the wind chill.
We call that sweatshirt weather....
@@sparks8218 yes we do
It's a Rain Stick. There are dry corn kernels inside.
Hey CL Hunter, i gotta question. Where is the best place to look up the value of a specific magazine? There's a magazine in Amazon right now listed for $5,001. It's in pretty rough shape too. I have the exact same magazine in near mint condition. So I'm thinking the seller is crazy or maybe it is worth a few bucks. I don't really know where to look though. Any suggestions?
what is the magazine? im pretty good at researching value. it sounds very unlikely it's worth that as people can ask whatever they want to.
It's nice of others to add advice and helpful comments. *Very cordial...especially for social media.
Man I can't wait to get started, planning to start small in about a month..
Great video Pete, I also carry a extra testing cassette tape with me when sourcing its saved me more then i can count. Making a $100 bucks a day thrifting is really not that hard if you have the knowledge and know how, Specially if you use craigslist/ FB marketplace. Great video with tons of useful info. Thanks for sharing
I've realized to go all the way to selling and having the $100 in your account everyday. I need to source at least $150 or more profit worth of items a day.
Native American rain stick. Very popular. Great buy.
Lifetime Maps have LM in model name and Traffic has a T and of course maps with traffic is LMT.
Do you know anything about antique / vintage rocking chairs? I can send photos. Pretty cool
Pete can you make a video about Offer Up and Let Go and how you go about selling items there please?
They are too limited because they are phone-based only. Most of my ton of customers do not find my merchandise on a phone. I still use a desktop (like Pete) for all listings. That's why Craigslist reaches more potential buyers, including people who are using a computer at the library and do not even own a phone or desktop!
Goodwill is like when Walmart first started. All they have to do is offer food now.
