Granny crocheted blankets - for the work in it, $10 is flippin peanuts. For resale, it's on the high side because no one pays what lady's craft labor is worth! (grrrrr) Those blankets should sell for $500 each, if the makers were fairly compensated.
Oh yeah! I agree 100% I only make quilts and crochet blankets for family and friends. Used to be a low cost way to make a gift. Now yarn is $10 and more a skein and fabric the same person yard. That first one in GW was beautiful it was sweater patterns knit into squares. Far beyond my skills. I prefer crochet.
I wouldn’t say 500$ the yarn is mostly acrylic- cheap. Now if it was made of natural fibers- yes! All day $500. You can tell the difference in the quality. I crochet and would never sell it’s not worth my time and carpal tunnel.
People crochet because they feed their creative natures. They only give their blankets to people who appreciate how much time and love they put into them. The value is not determined by cost of materials and how much time it takes to create. The value of anything is determined by willing buyers in a free market situation. That is why some things that used to sell for a fortune no longer do. Buyers have decided they no longer want them as much or they do, but aren’t willing to pay as much. Remember beanie babies, hummels, and cabbage patch dolls?
It's so important to make people smile and help others in public! You never know what someone is going through, so a kind word or gesture really makes a difference!
Mikey, if you open a box & the item is packed in styrofoam, don’t dig it out, simply tour the box over & it should slide out, maybe give it a little shake. Just an FYI
Mikey Craftsman was the best brand you could get back in the 60"s and 70"s from Sears. My dad bought Craftsman tools.Sears biggest mistake was selling their brand to Orchard Supply Hardware. OSH was also the place to buy hardware in the Bay Area. I worked at OSH Corporate Office in San Jose, CA in the credit dept.
We have 2 goodwills in my state and the Salvation Army is tiny. I drive 45 minutes to a Salvation Army in Connecticut. We have a few "mom and pop" thrift/consignment stores. Right now im thrifting my house!
I really appreciate a seller who KNOWS what he's doing! ❤❤❤thank you. I'm so tired of watching people who are seriously just learning. You rock baby! I do it for the Exact same reason you mentioned ❤❤❤
Hey Mikey, don’t pay $4 for golf club boxes. Just go to Roger Dunn, Big 5, Dick’s, or any golf shop and ask if they have club boxes they’re getting rid of. I go to Roger Dunn and they always have boxes to give away.
Great video, Mikey! I am glad that you’re not buying stuff just to buy stuff. I know a lot of TH-cam resellers get heat in the comments when they don’t buy much, which I will never understand. I guess people like to watch other people spend money, which I honestly find really weird. I enjoy your videos because of the very fact you don’t buy a bunch of sub-par things. Thank you!
Love your vids and your whole personality! So much info and much appreciated humor! I taught my 3 yr old grandson at our local to say “Bag It!” 🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the great work and positive vibes as they definitely come back to you! Say hello to Ms Cort!
I love pineapple on pizza if there is also ham. I love Dutch Bros nitro cold brew. I hear you on selling less for more. I am trying to do that too. There is only 1 GW within an hours drive from here, and the prices are high and it’s heavily picked over. Then again, I snagged a glassybaby last time I went as well as a red satin corset purse that Doreen would love. The glassybaby just sold for $72, which makes me want to go back. Now that I am listing again and have regained Top Seller level on the Bay, my sales have had an uptick. Still, I need to make a (perhaps symbolic) dent in my death pile before I start sourcing again. I am so glad that your meds are making you feel better!
Just saw your channel and liked/subscribed! I went to a goodwill in LA and put my hand into the blue bins and pulled out a throw-up surprise! Gag gag! Next time I'm bringing gloves!!! Wait till clothes are sorted and hung up!
I live in so cal but love thrifting in Vegas! I’ve been to that exact goodwill myself, picked about 5 pair of sunglasses for less than 20$ that I later sold for 300$! Ps maybe that pier one item was a butter tray? Love your videos
It's always fun going with you on a shopping video!! That's a pretty glass paper weight, love the color. I went shopping at my Seattle Goodwill today and found my first Death Wish coffee cup. And a pair of Birdies which always sell for good money 😊
The painted eggs in the bag with the Dalmatian dogs are Pysanky eggs. If they are real eggs painted and varnished they are good. Wood ones will sell too but the real eggs are best, made in Poland I think.
Ilove iced caramel latte I’m new to your channel and it was to see a man thriftingyour awesome and I did subscribe to your channel I guess I will be able to binge watching your videos love from Houston Texas
Greetings from a new subscriber from Orange County, California. I came across one of your videos today. Suddenly,I realized I'm already on the 3rd on from your channel. I don't mind hanging out with you now and then because I like your positive attitude and decided to hit the bell to show my appreciation. Happy Thrifting!
No…cheap quality yarn with synthetic dyes is never a good buy…I can ( I am a tailor/ dressmaker) make an exclusive Vogue pattern dress with wonderful design…but use cheap fabric…I would just be creating crap…acrylic yarn is crap..
We just got Dutch Brothers here. I like their lower sugar version of the first thing on the menu ( forgot the name) I usually make my own flavored coffee at home.
Mikey, Yesterday I went to a store that sells lots of various items but you have to dig through tables of stuff. I was digging through a table and I picked up what I thought was a funnel. It was a portable urinal for women! YUK 😢
Crafter use the angel heads to make angels with ribbon or other material bodies. Can be very expensive to buy these heads and then cost of the ribbon etc.
Well Las Vegas is a lot bigger than small rural towns. My closest goodwill is a hour away. 1 only. Not to much to choose from. Makes a difference where you live.
I love ❤ fresh pineapple 🍍 oh yeah!! I have eaten so much before that i got hives from it. Lol did not regret it at all. I used flip pizzas for a Mom n Pops place. We sold a couple Hawaiian pizzas a week. I like it now n then. What's yummy tho, take and mix equal amounts of your favorite flavor yogurt and marshmallow fluff. I use plain and add real vanilla. Use as dip for your favorite fruits or Graham crackers, cookies. Does not last which us good because it isn't something that keeps too long in the fridge. Perfect summer treat for fun!
Goodwill has got very ambitious with its pricing of everything

No…generally they are low quality yarn…and always hideous
Just found you recently. You are so much fun to watch! Blessings to you always

the granny afghan with the squares was choice!
Goodwill pricing is qlmost the same as resellers, so no Goodwill for me anymore
I'd say the pottery stove is for holding matches
Mikey, if you open a box & the item is packed in styrofoam, don’t dig it out, simply tour the box over & it should slide out, maybe give it a little shake. Just an FYI
Goodwill pricing is out of control! No longer Good will. They should rename their stores Badwill.
Maybe matches go in that little stove?
Prices are getting high there, just like here, paper weight is very nice and not a bad price.
Love your videos very witty and kind you should have gotten the tri colour blanket but maybe I’m bit biased as I’m watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 😂
😂😂😂❤
Big thumb and a big heart!! You are the master of kindness!❤🤗!!
Good Will has priced themselves out of receiving any donations from me. They aren’t helping anyone but their own pockets.
The first of those granny blankets had each square knit in a different design. That was a unique feature.

wow so many great items...thanks for all the information as well...Have to ALWAYS check out the boxes before buying..too bad it was broke.
I really appreciate a seller who KNOWS what he's doing! ❤❤❤thank you. I'm so tired of watching people who are seriously just learning. You rock baby! I do it for the Exact same reason you mentioned ❤❤❤

Love watching your experiences. So honest about how reselling really works
You always make me smile when I watch your cool videos!!! Keep them coming!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you! Will do!

Meter man looks like fun to be sure
I try my best to be entertaining! 😁

I love your kind heart, your the best....

So glad seeing you are feeling better 😊
Mikey, I love, love, love that shirt you are wearing in this video. Blue is your color! I think because you have blue eyes!
The dice clock could sell for 30 bucks if you had a booth Very nice clock
Glad you're having fun!
Do you ever find the color tag. on the on the color, they are offering. I don't. they change the tags before they do a color half off day.
I love a paperweight too

Welcome! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and enjoying some videos. Happy thrifting to you as well 🍀
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
With yarn costing $4.99 per skein not on sale,to see those 2 blankets for $10 a pc that's 1 hell of a steal !!
No…cheap quality yarn with synthetic dyes is never a good buy…I can ( I am a tailor/ dressmaker) make an exclusive Vogue pattern dress with wonderful design…but use cheap fabric…I would just be creating crap…acrylic yarn is crap..
Really like that paperweight -- nice bullicante (controled bubbles). Couldn't tell if it was signed though
Hey new viewer here! Seems like quite a few resellers out in Vegas! Good luck out there & I'll look for you on whatnot too👍
Thank you so much for checking out the channel! I appreciate it👍
Your GW are nice I’m in VA area right now they are smelly over priced and dirty stuff all over the place like the floor ugggg
The little stove box was a gas stove, so it's probably for matches! 😊
Good call!
Never seen a goodwill that’s so fancy❤❤❤
Mikey try the iced “Golden Eagle” iced coffee sugar free w/cinnamon sprinkles. Comes with half and half but I usually get it with coconut milk.
your bro sent me a superchat so I could try it. It was awesome!
The Pier 1 import small stove is wither to hold jewelry or soap while doing dishes or cleaning.
Hey Mikey, you’re looking good, even in a pink mirror lol.
Have a great week.😊
Good guy Mikey!
Dice bracelets are popular.
We just got Dutch Brothers here. I like their lower sugar version of the first thing on the menu ( forgot the name) I usually make my own flavored coffee at home.
They are so friendly at Duch Bros
@@MikeyBagsOfMoney They sure are!
Mikey , that grooming kit was from an Airline and it looked brand new
Hi Mikey ! 😊
Hello new here and what I like is you sound like a good man.
Welcome thanks for checking out my channel.
Mikey, Yesterday I went to a store that sells lots of various items but you have to dig through tables of stuff. I was digging through a table and I picked up what I thought was a funnel. It was a portable urinal for women! YUK 😢
Oh no! That is something you never forget 😂
Great video thanks 😊
love this
Bag it you go hope you make money . Bag it ..have a fun day Amen. 😊
Crafter use the angel heads to make angels with ribbon or other material bodies. Can be very expensive to buy these heads and then cost of the ribbon etc.
Great video Mikey! Those homey gnomies have nothing on you and the SuperCort🤣 ⭐ 🌟🌟🌟💰💰💰#moneybagger
Thank you❤❤❤
Damn!! The give walkers away at our Hospice thrift store!!
Well Las Vegas is a lot bigger than small rural towns. My closest goodwill is a hour away. 1 only. Not to much to choose from. Makes a difference where you live.
Small stove ceramic holds matches to light the gas
thanks
Dunking frozen coffee with caramel and whipped cream
Yum. Caramel is my fav
2:31 wow that’s nice looking but it’s so big & with damage. 😮
I love ❤ fresh pineapple 🍍 oh yeah!! I have eaten so much before that i got hives from it. Lol did not regret it at all. I used flip pizzas for a Mom n Pops place. We sold a couple Hawaiian pizzas a week. I like it now n then. What's yummy tho, take and mix equal amounts of your favorite flavor yogurt and marshmallow fluff. I use plain and add real vanilla.

sounds good I will give it a try!
Goodwill wants too much for their stuff
Studio pottery 😬 “looks like the masking effect right there ” 😂 glad you rejected that one! 👏🏼👏🏼Thanks Mikey🙏🏼- Liked & Subscribed💖🌟🕊🇬🇧
I think I saw you flip by a HH (Helly Hansen) jacket. Could have been done good 💰 there. Just a fyi.
Cold coffee at McDonalds is the best! Even better than Starbucks
❤🙃 coconut milk and black tea
yum😀❤
Butter dish ?
Salt or butter holder
Hey Oh!!
You're funny. New sub♡
Yay! Thank you!
I would have got that granny square throw.
