@@goodstar8631 They sell all of their free donations for a profit. they have their own auction site where they sell valuable donations. Only 1/8th of their profit goes to their charity.

@@goodstar8631 I’m not calling them bad they’re just not charitable. I resell on EBay and get some of my inventory from goodwill, but prices are pretty crazy in my area, 13-14 bucks for a VCR, regular pair of Nikes for 10 bucks.
@@GorgieClarissa the reason theyre charging that much is because resellers are buying stuff out at thrift stores and the stores realize they can scalp resellers by raising prices
Greedy goodwill is the reason. They would still earn waaaayyyyy more if they lowered prices and didnt stuff the racks so you cant look thru. The % of items people resell from GW is MINIMAL and they're still getting the asking price they want, whether or not the person is a reseller. Also, they jack up prices of things that arent good sellers on ebay. I don't even shop at gw for inventory. The bins are WAY more profitable. Even if ebay cut their prices in half, I'd still shop at the bins, there is so much good stuff there that gw cant sell or that is donated directly to the bins.
Right, flippers are some of the worst people on the planet. They’re ruining any deals left for folks with low income to make $10 when a poor kid would have enjoyed it a lot more. People will stop donating of this becomes a trend. As someone that grew up poor these videos disgust me.
i am a poor person living in an town that’s gotten extremely wealthy in the past 20 years who relies heavily on second hand stores to live comfortably and this is hard to watch😭😳
Hey man, I understand the hustle but please don’t resell thrift store bought items unless you really need the money. Thrift stores prices have been increasing because of people doing this and it has been displacing individuals who actually need the items/clothes

@@infinity.1.0 yup, that’s also a problem. Main two reasons are 1. Reselling and 2. People buying stuff without actually needing it, I call it over thrifting

@@imgonnaputsomedirtinyourey8421 Cept it’s not. They just make a percentage of money from other people selling their goods on it. That’s why there’s a sellers name on the product. Amazon isn’t buying Apple products to tell them at discounts with free shipping.
I used to work at a goodwill and the people that come in daily are the ones that resell thing. Also goodwill is not that great as a company either its ran as a normal retail store with sales goals and out for profit. But the stuff is cheaper than new so... 🤷🏾♂️
Hey, there are lots of other good flips then stuff like this. My mother owns a thrift store and purposefully stocks nice things for people for cheaper than commonly found prices to help people. You’re kinda just taking nice things from lower income/less fortunate people and giving it back to the same classes of people who got rid of it in the first place..
My next door neighbor gave us all her old VHS tapes. We had canceled Disney Plus because that place is run by Satan. We got so many awesome movies! Dude, nothing beats building a pillow fort with your kid, making some jiffy pop and watching the The Little Mermaid on VHS.
Bro theres a reason these are cheap, respect it! Its for poor families who cant afford new things not so you can buy the nice stuff and mane a buck you don’t need
Solid thing to check is plushies. Often thrift stores do 50 cents to $2ish, and anything licensed (SpongeBob, marvel, etc.) no matter what goes $5-10 minimum. Ty Beanies aren't huge goldmines but they do sell reliably at $5-10 as well.
Speaking from experience goodwill does not care about anything that’s donated 90% is thrown in the trash if it doesn’t sell fast enough I work for them I know how it works . It’s quite sad fr
A tip on shipping larger items or heavier items..,ship via ups instead of usps…they handle the items with a lot more care if breakable and it’s 1/3 the cost of usps..,
The shoe section should be your first stop in a thrift store… The board games aren’t going anywhere but those $300 Jordan’s will get nabbed up quick!!!!
Lol theses comments 🤦🏻♀️ Most people I know that resell are poor people trying to feed their families and keep a roof over their head bc they don’t make enough money. Would it be better if they just stood on the side of the road for hours and hours asking for free money?? It’s an honest way to make money. Goodwill stays stocked lol there’s enough to go around for everyone and not to mention goodwills prices have gone up significantly that their clothes and shoes cost just as much as if you went and bought it new.
I see guys do things like this at garage sales or dump sites but taking from donation based stores is hella fishy. Especially in the “richest part of town”.
When I wasn't able to afford shopping anywhere else, good will helped me feel confident about myself in highschool in college whenever I had a few bucks to spare on a shirt or some shoes or maybe expanding my VHS collection. Please dont resell this stuff for profit, a huge portion of the population depends on thrift stores for their actual purpose. Buy from thrift stores because you need or want, not to profit.
and this is why i can barely afford my back to school shopping at my thrift store this year 💀 flipping only works if you actually improve the item otherwise you are just a slimy reseller
Here is a shipping tip that will save you tons of money on Big or odd shaped items. By a greyhound bus ticket to let’s say New York for example, put the item you are shipping underneath the bus in the storage area, and don’t get on the bus. Then tell the person receiving your package to pick it up at the greyhound bus station
You’re not really doing anything innovative. My parents used to buy me goodwill clothes growing up because that’s all we could afford. You reselling these items is sad.

Oh mannnn, the vhs thing pains me, as our store I work at literally just throws any and all vhs tapes out into the trash compactor. It's also hard to think about any lost media stuff too ugh
When you look for vhs especially disney look for ones that say black diamond on it, those can often be worth your while and sometimes if in excellent condition be worth thousands
How do you know he's not a reputable seller? Used can sell too. You have to price them cheaper unless maybe rare or vintage. Depends on category too. Besides, buying from 'rando' sellers on ebay, you're still protected as eBay itself has policies for returns and refunds.

its not that you are taking the things away from people who might need them, but more so that people reselling is causing thrift stores to raise prices because they know resellers will still buy them.
Wait till these stores figure out that they can make more money on Amazon.

That’s the cleanest GW I’ve ever seen
FYI They don’t keep the stuff at the goodwill you donate. They send them to other goodwills in the region/area that sell specific items more.
The problem isn't finding profitable flips, the issue is actually flipping them
Remember it’s POTENTIAL profit, not profit. The chances of you getting someone to buy used shoes and it’s shipping.
Remember just because something is listed for a certain price on eBay does not mean that it well sell at the price or be sold at all.
Goodwill should advertise their products online as well.
guitar hero guitars and vinyl records make big bucks online
