Pete the truck in the goodwill is made my ERTL out of Dyersville, IA where the movie Field Of Dreams was made. My husband and I visited the town and took a tour of the toy factory. They also made semi trucks that my husband collected. The name is pronounced like turtle. The reason goodwill doesn’t have a lot of items for resale is because everything that’s donated goes through their own pickers who search for value online and then list the items for auction on the website. GW is very greedy and can’t really be called a thrift store. Especially when they have purses and bags locked in cabinets! The Duncan Miller parking meter lamp is really cool!
Goodwill funds it's job training programs, veteran services and other community programs through it's stores. Sometimes they get a donation that's valued much higher than the average, sometimes worth hundreds of dollars. I don't know what you mean by "goodwill doesn't have a lot of items for resale". Every time I go the shelves are full. They aren't greedy, just because they want to get what they can for the higher value items. Goodwill doesn't exist just to make things easy for flippers.
@@asterix811 actually that's all a scam. the owner of the goodwill franchise spent millions on commercials to convince the public goodwill is doing good, when in fact its just a scheme. people donate stuff for free, they take all the good stuff, sell it online and instore and then give the least amount back possible to vets, employees. the whole 'training employee program' is a scam itself
thank you Peter for your continued support to the reseller community - I've done really well recently and I put it down to so much I have learned from you - I love all your videos and you'll always get a big thumbs up from me - all the way from the UK
Tip for thrifting: If an electronic device does not power up, make sure the outlet strip itself is working. Not all have power indicator lights, not all themselves are working.
I just bought a CRT TV in a thrift store that did not power up. 3 receptacles later in a different section of the store I finally got the TV to power up.
At 3:34, a nice vintage vacuum tube portable record player atop the shoe rack (Next to the sewing machine). Lots of interest in those at the right price.
I repaired VCR's for several years the Mitsubishi ones are a pain lots of video issues trackproblems etc. hard to work on an engineering nightmare a repairmans nightmare. I don't miss them never owned one and never will.
@5:02 My favorite section in all Goodwill's... I just recently last week found at my local Goodwill store a 1976-1977 Pioneer SX-550 in decent shape with normal lifting of the veneer sides and lifting but some gorilla glue fixed that... It powered up and flickered for a a min then lighted up... But for $9.49 it was worth taking it home for further inspection... I opened it outside my patio and blew out any dust in there but wasn't much at all.... Took it inside and noticed 1 bulb of the 3 out no biggie... I sprayed contact spay on all potentiometer switches and all resistors and capacitors look good and holding their value... I ordered the bulbs and they came in.. Time to replace all 3...
My grandfather owned a pawn shop for over 25 years and he had a parking meter like that one from Dallas. It was not a lamp. We still have it and it is in my sons room. Super Cool
I sold Parking meter lamp in 2008 in Florida for $165. Bought in Madison, Wi for $15. They were made by the Retired Policeman's Assoc.. in Chicago I WAS TOLD.
Oklahoma City was birthplace of the parking meter. A couple years back they removed everyone and replaced with electronic kiosk for 10 or more spaces. I got a ticket cause I didn't know about this scheme.
That parking meter light is so cool so is the record player a friend of ours gave us a retro recordplayer,atrack player and radio entertainment center its huge looks very old.
Some nice charity shops in the UK, though like in the US, it is hard now to find nicely priced good stuff. Better off frisking the suit pockets, you might find a wallet or some old banknotes.
Matchbooks in cases: Those were Novelty (joke/fake places) Matchbooks in set form. Sold as a set with case by Tip N Twinkle Roanoke.Va 1950's They are cool but even Complete, Mint Sets sell for less than 15.00 FYI
Hi Pete. I have have found out the hard way that just powering up a vcr does not mean it works. Many of the ones I have bought to resell have other issues such as eating tapes, ejecting tapes right after they are loaded and many other issues. So I am shying away from those items from now on. Curious did yours work ?
Couple years ago I got an Xbox 360 Slim (those black HDMI ones) in perfect condition and two controllers for $12, only time I’ve been “lucky” at a thrift store 😎
What I usually do when I get DVD players at the second hand stores I usually buy universal remotes that's what all my remote controls for all my items are is universal
I love the parking meter lamp... As far as the Coach bags, I never could understand their appeal. I think they're all ugly and believe people like them because they're expensive and they see them as a status symbol. No thanks. I feel the same about Louis Vitton: ugly, boring, overpriced.
We have much better in the UK Ian, lots of smaller ones, some of them don't use the Internet to price before sale. You won't find bargains in Oxfam, but lots of our charity shops contain good stuff.
Ye but look at are little charity shops compared to there large shops obviously there's more space for items and more things to find bigger varaities, plus love the ideas of garage sales instead of bootsales. I personally thing I'll do 10× better in USA then here in UK in that area of work. But that's just my opinion.
I cant believe you didnt get rid of those spider eggs and dust before you bought that bag Pete...I would be thinking about them hatching in my truck all the time I was driving along!!! Ew!!!
At least your Goodwill has reasonable prices...here in Baltimore they charge twice as much as the prices you show...I bet by summer folks will be hocking their stuff like crazy as the evictions start
Pedro, you don't need any advice! Your channel is doing really well now. You have a great vibe and personality, Pete should be asking you for advice now! Take care and more success to you.
Gr8 pick and thrifting Pete.. That vertical turn table is really cool and would look nice in your PC.. Also that golf balls display case would look awesome with vintage Hot Wheels arranged in it.. Nicely done.. Stay safe homie..👍💕🔥⚾😷
Yeah. I don't understand Pete's thinking on that given his buying selling strategy. (I guess it's something he feels he wouldn't be able to sell, and the $15 price was too high for something he'd buy to use in the shop...?)
I was going to drive down from Wisconsin and, sell all my good stuff to you, but” after witnessing all the low balling I decided against it... So I will wait until nicer weather and sell it all at the flea markets..
Hi pete was wondering if u could give e me some advice on the way sellers get paid now on Ebay as they have cut paypal out of the equation would u open a separate bank account just for ur Ebay payments or would u use an existing one would like to hear ur advice on this pete from uk
15:04 I avoid the linear tracking turntables as they are next to impossible to get repaired economically for resale. Bang & Olufsen included.

Yep my local thrift stores mostly have eBay pages, very rarely do good stuff slip through the cracks and u can pick up from store

And I had snow today in Vegas 😂.
I love shopping in thrift stores we here in the UK call them charity shops bargains galore
Do U love it 🤔 🙄
As soon as you get rid of the remote, you find the unit it goes to. You should try Hyper rewind on it to see if it will eat the tape before you buy.
Awe pete you’re a good man God bless you and you’re family always
Oklahoma City was birthplace of the parking meter. A couple years back they removed everyone and replaced with electronic kiosk for 10 or more spaces. I got a ticket cause I didn't know about this scheme.
NO SNOW!!! In Illinois here also, love when the snow goes away!
You can donate your snow to New Mexico 😁
I own a linear turntable, the Sharp VZ-3000. It has the tuner and cassette built in.
Piotr ~ thrifting the Gucciwill . . . . Priceless !
Some kid had a lot of fun with that dump truck. That’s what they’re made for!
That parking meter light is so cool so is the record player a friend of ours gave us a retro recordplayer,atrack player and radio entertainment center its huge looks very old.
Coach still has a big following, just not those fabric ones.
Yea and they made too many knockoffs
Man your goodwill has good stuff. Ours here in town just garbage.
Same here and the prices are the same if you were to buy these things new 🧐 ridiculous
Exactly. Ours is all junk
Our is in a wealthy area and looks like a sh*t hole.
Some nice charity shops in the UK, though like in the US, it is hard now to find nicely priced good stuff.
Better off frisking the suit pockets, you might find a wallet or some old banknotes.
Same here 😂😂
Our goodwill sucks 90% of it is just clothes and the other part is broken computer monitors or stuffed animals
Ours also. Not worth the time and the junk is expensive!
Pete, that linear turntable is so cool, even if it does need an extra belt. That is rad 🙌
you threw away a mitsubishi remote probably for that system lol!
I think the whole 'dress to impress with high-end handbags' was waning and then not going out due to the virus put the final nail in the coffin.

I love it ! 20:58

I miss my trips around the thrift shops over there, so you can imagine how much I enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from Dublin
I used to have one of those meter lamps. Think I sold to an antique store in kentucky or West Virginia
Seen a very noticable lack on inventory in the thrift stores in my area over the last 6 weeks. Donations are way down everywhere.
Those coach bags are sooo old Coach is still awesome
That parking meter lamp is bad ass!
So good to see the Sun 🌞
I have said this before, but I love it when Peter says meat on the bone 🍖...
Yes!
You never buy the kind of stuff I donate, I have to step up my giving game!
Really enjoy the videos, this is my first, just happened to stumble upon this video. Job well done.
Couple years ago I got an Xbox 360 Slim (those black HDMI ones) in perfect condition and two controllers for $12, only time I’ve been “lucky” at a thrift store 😎
The lamp is very cool!
What I usually do when I get DVD players at the second hand stores I usually buy universal remotes that's what all my remote controls for all my items are is universal
Good idea!

That's Vuitton
Just from what you showed I can see several fake Coach bags in them cases.
I wished we had huge Goodwill stores in the UK I would be visiting them everyday.
We have much better in the UK Ian, lots of smaller ones, some of them don't use the Internet to price before sale.
You won't find bargains in Oxfam, but lots of our charity shops contain good stuff.
@@connoroleary591 Yeah, in essence we do have them - charity shops.
I'm excited for your interview with Tommy and Traci. Thanks for the content
Would of loved that golf ball display, I wish such places existed her in U.K.
Eh? There's 3,300 goodwill stores in US & Canada. In the UK we have 9,000 charity shops.
Ye but look at are little charity shops compared to there large shops obviously there's more space for items and more things to find bigger varaities, plus love the ideas of garage sales instead of bootsales. I personally thing I'll do 10× better in USA then here in UK in that area of work. But that's just my opinion.
Do you also have trouble sometimes getting those damn price stickers of?
He’s actually got a video on how to remove them. It’s helped me a lot!
@@caseyshort8475 i use HG sticker remover myself, but it smells strong and the smell keeps lingering on the products for a while
@@caseyshort8475 found it thanx, th-cam.com/video/3bAkIA5Wn1s/w-d-xo.html
I am using olive oil from now on
TYSM!
7:35 pete u missed that nice frame of the chicago cubs champion year. i bet it was a gem. right behind u
I cant believe you didnt get rid of those spider eggs and dust before you bought that bag Pete...I would be thinking about them hatching in my truck all the time I was driving along!!! Ew!!!
Pretty cool pick up. I know I think 90’s wasn’t that long ago either for me and then you think about it and Wow! Guess that was awhile ago.
i want the matches that say reefer ...LOL
ERTL dump truck, is now COSCO / TOMY........Columbus IN.
At least your Goodwill has reasonable prices...here in Baltimore they charge twice as much as the prices you show...I bet by summer folks will be hocking their stuff like crazy as the evictions start
SHARP (in europe anyway) did some fantastic linear turntables. most fetch good money now on ebay, sold a few. good video Pete
Great vid. Love watching this kinda stuff
Pete that green bay bag might be for football helmets
Practice helmet home game helmet and away helmet
Finally it's good to see you out thrifting again now I need to see you go dumpster diving again
Look for the match books with the advertising printed on the matches themselves.
* Fountain Pen has Ink Well.. I don't think it is just a Holder..
Very cool turntable Pete! 👍☘️
Hi Peter, I believe you have a pen with a stand...and a ink bowl for the fountain pen. dont seperate those things! ;)
Pete! Love the videos sir! Any advice for a newbie that has a channel? Anything would be appreciated! Cheers!
Pedro, you don't need any advice! Your channel is doing really well now. You have a great vibe and personality, Pete should be asking you for advice now!
Take care and more success to you.
Thanks for sharing this video
The green bay bag is for ten pin bowling they run about $ 150.00
Good buy on that bowling bag pete. 👌👍
Green Bay bag is money
I liked the coffee mug.
I wonder if it would be good idea to stock up on Coach bags. Brands always make a comeback.
Coach is still a good seller
Gr8 pick and thrifting Pete.. That vertical turn table is really cool and would look nice in your PC.. Also that golf balls display case would look awesome with vintage Hot Wheels arranged in it.. Nicely done.. Stay safe homie..👍💕🔥⚾😷
Packers Bag is for disc golf
B&O - Bang And Olstrom made the best vertical turntables ever mad. Problem was they were super expensive I only know of one still existing
Bang and Olufsen . . .
They're still around but their products are now more reflective of the current technology.
Still SUPER expensive, too !
@@catherinemcmurdo7207 I'II tell you how old I am, my pride and joy was my Revox A700 Reel to Reel
$15 for the golf ball display and you passed? I would think that's a local pickup winner all day long for $50.
Yeah. I don't understand Pete's thinking on that given his buying selling strategy. (I guess it's something he feels he wouldn't be able to sell, and the $15 price was too high for something he'd buy to use in the shop...?)
That's a nice goodwill my local one is really small and looks like a garbage dump with a cash register at the front.
Hi Pete. The link for your eBay store is not working.
The golf ball cabinet matchbox and hot wheel collectors buy them to display cars
Love these thrift picking episodes cheers
Definitely a bowling ball bag. Seen plenty in my day
Ball bags or bowling balls?
I still sell a ton of Coach purses 🤷♂️
Can you talk to the manager at the thrift shop and get 10 or 15 percent off your cart if you purchase over 100 or 200 bucks? Would be worth asking.
I was going to drive down from Wisconsin and, sell all my good stuff to you, but” after witnessing all the low balling I decided against it... So I will wait until nicer weather and sell it all at the flea markets..
No snow in buffalo ny either
i like seeing what peter pick up ....
Similar Green Bay bags retail for $150
I hope you get good money for the Packers bag, I found a few online for 15 ish dollars
Wisconsin just has some nasty dirty piles from what got plowed up from my apartment parkin lot.
Shoulda got the display shelf.
What's the most random thing that has come through your shop that you've bought
I think that Packers bag is to transport football helmets
Packers: fans better than the team. Bang and Olefson made a vertical unit also.
$15.00 is too much out of $160.00. $5 dollar for $10 dollar profit. I pick it up.. lol
Green Bay bag is for equipment. The bowls are for shoulder pads and the other is helmet. 👍🇨🇦
Hi pete was wondering if u could give e me some advice on the way sellers get paid now on Ebay as they have cut paypal out of the equation would u open a separate bank account just for ur Ebay payments or would u use an existing one would like to hear ur advice on this pete from uk
Amazon Prime truck passes by at the end
Very wrong about Coach bags! It’s all about coach Rogue bags. Big $
Nice finds wish are goodwill had decent stuff all crap especially electronics
Resale Rabbit. does he go bowling?
Good day for you.
Cheers!
