Be sure to look out for the discontinued Dr Seuss books! They can be worth close to 300 dollars each
Hi, Dustin! It was great talking to you at Goodwill. You're one of my favorite reseller channels and certainly work hard at what you do. Continued success, and hope to run into you again!
Thanks James for the kind words. It was nice meeting you!
I found what I thought was s keyboard for $7 at the thrift store. It was called an omnichord and was a synthesizer from the 80's put it up for $300 on offerup and my phone started blowing up. I pulled the post down and instead put it on ebay for $500. Sold within an hour. Always on the lookout for another one of those
Awesome flip!
Every thrifter I watch has a “thing” lol so yours is ducks, you gotta embrace it and make it a game ;)
I saw a Cabbage Patch doll on the shelf! Those are expensive!! I bought an old one for $40 at an antique store!
Oh yeah, I've sold quite a few of them in a past. Thanks for watching!
I got lucky hit up a good Will picked up an antique mirror vanity thing and paid 10$
Flipped it for 1000!!!!
Literally wow !!!
Awesome!
Back in the 2000s I built up an amazing Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters collection from my thrift store finds. Sanrio was my ‘thing’ as well as Star Wars books.
Thanks for your videos. I just bought my first printer ink yesterday to flip! Literally watching every video I can find on how to list and ship.
Awesome, good luck with the sale!
i have been collecting and reselling for 30 years. before reselling was so common. i did it as an addition to my income from my job. i started selling on ebay when ebay was brand new. before that it was prodigy. i couldn't begin to tell about how many amazing finds i have found over the years. i mostly sell vintage doll items.
Sorry I’m late but what advice would you give someone getting into reselling on eBay and what are best sellers in your opinion that are common
I picked up a nice, heavy bottle the other day for the grand sum of 50c. Sells for $170 :)
Also a plastic bag full of scout woven badges and other items, made quite a bit.
Where do you sell your items please? Thank you 😊
This is so wild. I used to thrift at Valley back in the early 2000s to sell on eBay. This makes me so nostalgic!
Headed to valley again today actually. I make it a weekly point to get over there. Definetly a unique thrift!
Goodwill make hundreds of Millions of dollars a year in profit. This is a great video my friend.
Always fill your store with good merchandise. I consider it as important as good listing habits. It took me awhile to learn that.
It took you a while to learn that good merchandise was key to selling items?
So glad I found your channel! Thanks!
I always get excited in these videos when yall come across wooden boxes cuz I've found I really enjoy refurbishing jewelry boxes. Also, when you were looking at that last cart I lowkey hoped you'd find out where the lady got her sparkly hat.
Thanks for another great video! I think I know your thrift stores better than the ones in my area - because of your videos.
These videos are so relaxing 😴 I haven’t been thrifting in over a year with the whole pandemic. I miss it so much! Gonna have to get back out there.
I loved those little round fake trees at the end I’m looking for stuff like that for my new apartment I def would’ve grabbed those 😅
Omg I love tht store.prices getting alittle high but I still shop there..I'm from Springfield..great video TFS..glad I found ur channel..
I did this for a long time and found myself going too quick through the aisles and narrowing my view. Changing that and slapping down makes this enjoyable again
Get a case with a wrist lanyard for your phone. Game changer.
I would have loved to have had the lanterns. They are beautiful
Kinda shocked how clean and well organized the media section was. Nice.
I like the step stone mosaic you passed by.
So true about the phone cases. I have two that were brand new that I never got to before I got my new phone 🙄 Couldn't even give them away.
I liked the thin wooden duck😊
Yo Dustin, you should do a video on how you clean shoes and sneakers for re-sale.
You passed some quilts (10:45). It would be interesting to know how they are priced.
Awesome finds
I want that snowman stand!!
Good tips. Thanks!
Would love to know how you pack and ship your items 😃
Same this is what I find difficult to do with all this I’ve done it for years made some money but not enough to live off hard to ship cost is insane
Awesome video. Learned a lot.
Whoa!!! Valley Thrift is my favorite thrift at all time! I moved to Chicago and really miss it!
Hey, I enjoy your videos! Just wanted to mention that Squire is a Stratocaster model.
That place is HUGE!
I found this video and really liked it. Thanks! I gave it a thumbs up and I subscribed. Looking forward to more of your videos. I am in Maryland
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you found the channel!
You should have kept the bengals glasses they're going to the Super Bowl again! Those are probably worth a ton now! Lol
Enjoyed your video!
Have fun tomorrow on your resell journey 🎶✌❤🍏
Thanks James!
I wanted the Easter wreath you moved out of your way for candles!
I like this!
I love thrifting! Hey at 0:42 there is an orange cat piano toy worth $26.99 at target. I don’t know if it’s worth it with shipping costs but thought I’d let you know. 👍🏻
Cincinnati here. Great content.
Love it
I love your channel. It inspired me to start my own channel The Thrifting Twins
Good luck with your channel!
Good haul
Crazy you’re from Ohio same here good video !
The map... lol maybe I just have a thing for maps, but I didn't look up prices so what do I know. Great for decorating and crafting. USPS has tubs I believe.
Fellow Buckeye And picker here. Enjoyed your video!
Thank you!
I went to 2 Goodwills today. Got some things to flip.
I know exactly where your thrifting! My sister and I went to The Valley last summer! I was looking for Breyer horses!
Yes, you can make a small fortune flipping things from Goodwill! That’s why I love it so much! But please don’t tell too many people-things are getting competitive. 🙁
Thrift stores are much larger in USA then in Australia
They have a LOT of shoes!!
I found a army train ho size sold it to a friend for 50 it was probably worth alot more
The ducks you keep finding might be a picker thing. I follow another picker who always seems to find them everywhere she goes. She also seems to find a lot of swans.
Noritake is a brand that sells for great prices!! I am always on the hunt for additional pieces for my set.
And it costs me a ton per piece.
My set is the Noritake Colorwave green & & the water pitcher alone costs an average of $90 new.
Is this a brand of ceramic/ pottery?
Like this store
As a bargain shopper and an avid shopper I’m shocked that people pay those prices for some of those items you list. But they must, or you wouldn’t be in this business right! So more power to you. Enjoyed the video.
People collect all kinds of things.
Big shout from your newest subscriber in Scotland 😉
Welcome, glad you found the channel!
That’s valley thrift!!! I just flipped on your channel and we used to live in Dayton for 22 years. You walked in and I’m like wait!! That’s valley thrift!! Looks like they reversed the store a bit... lol!
I would give a 100 for that fender squire all day.I play guitar and these can be made to play like a thousand dollar guitar if you know how to do the frets and insulate the electronics.I find an upgrade in tuners and pickups is not necessary.As long as the neck is fairly straight and it is not road rashes I would give 100 all day long for a Fender Squire.
Oh for sure it's a solid price on it. I just typically don't like selling and shipping them after a bad experience with a jaguar bass.
I'm looking for duck stuff!!! Especially flat ducks I can hang on the wall.
My thrift stores has nothing like this. I can't burn candles I'm allergic to all candles. But I know they are expensive.
Omg shape ups 🤟
The older Yankee candle items sell well on ebay uk
Be careful with shape ups. A lot of them have dry rot. Push on the foam to double test them.
This is so true. Same with Dansko sadly.
Great video!
Thanks!
It was so weird to click on this video and see you walk into a store that I frequent😂
New sub here 😊 Enjoyed your video! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the channel.
Now I would of opened the door for that older lady, but I'm amazed how most people don't even think about it.
Hi Dustin,My name is Anthony new to your channel. Can't wait to see more and learn
Hi Anthony! Thanks for watching

All my local thrift stores are stripped to the bone, you go into them and see like 20 people walking around with their cellphones doing the reselling thing and there is nothing to find. Guess the word got out somehow...

Uline has great tubes
Clean white tennis shoes with a magic eraser
Love your channel and the education you give us all. What is the best way to find comps while shopping? Scanning on eBay? Thx
Ebay scanning or searching and then filtering by sold listings.
You “quack” me up 🦆 🦆 🦆 😉
Valley thrift used to have really good prices not so much anymore its hit and miss.
You should see FedEx employees throw boxes in the semis and trucks. They’re pushed to hurry. It’s amazing anything makes its destination intact.
Yeah, basically any carrier will eventually bust something you send out due to harsh performance metrics.
I think GW is usually a bit overpriced. However, if you have a St. Vincent near you, they are a lot better and more reasonable.
Valley Thrift Mondaze!
I found stranger things glass cups for $15 and they are like $30 and I found some nice vans
Great video but FYI Otterbox is a Vero waiting to happen
Love your show! How do you pack & ship your candles safely?
Off the top of my head I use the 6 x 6 x 6 box for those. A fair amount of bubble wrap and a touch of brown paper to fill any void. Of course I make sure to insure the package. Priority comes with $50 in insurance by default which covers most candles. Hope this helps!
I found a $100 surge protector for $5
I needed one so I got it
You gonna make prices go up for us thrifters who really shop for survival (fixed income) showing your hustle
yio that orange cat piano at 0:50 goes for like 25$
Thank you for a very nice video explaining why and how you are picking up things.Very helpful when you pick up new or almost new things.
But are you reselling things that you have paid you really money like $30, $40 and trying to resell it. What is mark up if any? Do you have any video to show when you ar3 putting th3 things on action and how does this work.
I am new to EBay, trying to learn all the tricks of the trade. You are doing a very professional video, thank you.
Hey Ada, on my Instagram from time to time I share numbers. Recently, I did a what sold segment on the back half of my March 14th video. I also have a what sold video playlist which goes over mainly highlights of my Q4 sales last year.
If I bought something that ships Priority for say 12 bucks at a 30 buy cost I would at minimum expect to get around 100 bucks shipped or I probably wouldn't buy. I also would expect a quicker flip with anything I have "real" money into as opposed to like a 50 cent yard sale flip.
Hope this helps. Sorry I missed your comment earlier.
I have to say your thrift stores are awesome. Ours are so bad. I may have to travel to find better stuff. Lol
if you're just starting out, how do you go about figuring out what items to grab and sell? is there certain items that just always sell or is it dependent on your market for the most part? anything specific i should be looking for? thank you for any future input
I like your videos and what you do for us I’ve asked a question in the past if you Frankenstein boxes I’ve been doing it for the priority boxes haven’t had anything returned yet as long as they pay priority I’ve been doing that do you do it and you have any hints or tricks or know the rules
Sny Reborn boy doll opened eyed
Should have bought those Bengals glasses haha
I wish I had bought way more Bengals stuff over the past year than I did lol
Man your thrift stores are good our Goodwills are awful here never anything good and really overpriced.
Like the voice over.
Thank you!
How do you know/check whether an item is dead stock when you find them?
Great video, but I'm starting to realize that resellers who do not have these palace-like thrift stores available where the shelves are packed from top to bottom with valuable items in great condition, neatly stocked and sorted, those resellers don't tend to make 'Look at me making a ton of profit" videos. :)
Honestly, I do have good thrift stores overall but I am there a ton to make the finds I do. These are highlight visits and not hours long live streams of all my picking.
I source all over the place, yard sales, pallets, bin sales, estate sales, fb marketplace, thrift stores, and more. Even if you have no thrift stores or bad ones in your area most people can succeed as at least part time resellers if they are willing to put in the work.
exactly...all the thrift stores in my area are stripped clean by every grandma, teenager and middle age person doing the same thing, you can't make money at most thrift places anymore
I sold a krups for 90 2 months ago. I bought it new from Kroger for 15$ . some sale
Nice Kroger pick up! Always great to make money when buying groceries off the clearance!
🔥
How do you handle returns? Do you have any videos on that? I'm pretty new at flipping thrifts, so far not on ebay but I think I need to branch out. Thanks for the content!
I offer buyer paid returns for remorse returns. When it comes to Item Not As Described claims I have to pay return shipping since it's eBay. I typically look into filing USPS / UPS / FedEx claims on those if I believe it was a carrier issue.
GREAT QUESTION! i follow " thereignmakrrr " and he talks about how much he makes every month from what he finds at the salvation army and goodwill. you should check it out,
Hi! New sub here from O-h-i-o also. Thinking about starting a store Too! Cheers
