Hey beautiful. Missed seeing your videos! Hope all is well. Love to see your still crushing it. And I can so relate with how fun it can be to travel and source.
Whenever I visit LA I always hit the thrifts. Last trip I pulled in about $650 worth of good items that have mostly all sold already. That profit payed for my expenses while on the trip!
Good to know about Richmond. I was considering doing a little throat/sourcing road trip (I’m in eastern panhandle area of WV). I hear Charlottesville thrifting is good though:-) great finds! I’m excited to do some sourcing road trips this year. My boyfriend loves thrifting too so it’s fun with him:-)
I’m headed to Virginia Tech this week and planned to stop in Richmond and squeeze in some thrifting. I may stop in C-Ville to check out the shops you mentioned. Thanks for the tips and definitely want to see more travel hauls!
Niiiiice! The next time you come to Virginia to source, may I suggest where I live - the Shenandoah Valley? Not even so much Goodwills - anything Mennonite. These are thrift stores that look like department stores, with thrift store pricing, and a whole range of styles and sizes. For example, Harrisonburg (a good-sized college town with several different 'brands' of thrift stores) has Gift & Thrift, which also has Booksavers: they will take ANY book, ANY condition, b/c they can recycle them, including encyclopedia's!
Also wanted to thank you for the Richmond Bins review. I was thinking about driving over 2 hrs to it. I'm in MD with really no good bins. I'm so glad I heard your thoughts first!
@@amydepaul3039Whenever I go to the bins in baltimore I find plenty of good stuff including tons of great store pulls. The place is basically empty during the week. I guess it probably depends on what you sell? I just don't go too often because it aggravates my allergies. Not sure which side of the beltway you're on but I've also gone to 2 bins in PA. I think I preferred the lancaster one. But no way would I ever think it's worth it to drive all the way to Richmond when I'm 15 minutes away from the bins in MD.
We don't very often. Maybe once or twice a year but I'd like to more. If they don't provide a receipt, you can create your own receipt by writing it down. Some people get a receipt book.
The haul was great! I thrift and travel too. The variety is amazing from town to town. I have alot of fun therefore mine are fast flips due to my traveling.
Traveling to nearby cities and Thrifting and eating is such a perk of being an online seller. Been doing that since 2001. By the way…Peruvian Connection is known for Pima Cotton, anything Pima Cotton is super soft and lux feeling. It comes from my neck of the woods, Pima County/So. Arizona. Also- I have made thousands off of Garnet Hill items over the years….😆
Pima Cotton is named after the Pima tribe of Native Americans who had cotton growing knowledge that the USDA used when growing cotton in Arizona as a test project early in the 20th century. (Obviously your county is also named after the same tribe.) It's very similar to the native cotton grown in Peru so the name sort of got attached to that cotton as well, it's equally long-fiber and luxurious. The big difference (and why garments that are Made In Peru from Peruvian cotton are superior) is that the cotton is harvested by hand in Peru versus by machine in the US - so the fibers are less broken and the fabric ends up stronger and less prone to pilling. Most Pima cotton garments especially from luxury brands sold in the US will say "Made in Peru" - If you see "Supima" that means it's from the US, because the cotton trade assocation trademarked that to designate only US Pima cotton.
@@helpfulcommenter Awesome, and super fascinating! I have always wanted to visit a textile manuf., plant to see how they convert fibre into yarn and then into fabrics.
BTW if you ever find out the style of that Lululemon shirt, let me know mkay? Cayley that's the EXACT one I asked you about a couple months back and you didn't know. I sold one but it was returned for being "way too big" lol... no seriously lmk if you find out the style
OMG, I want that Sorbe hoodie. Also, just wondering about the Tory Burch dress, and the dress right after that, which you called midi-length. They looked like they were just knee-length to me. I've always known midi to be calf-length and maxi ankle-length.
I had exactly same Pendleton Tommy bahama shirt . It took very long time to sell.. it was brand new and my goodwill sold a lot of it , I think they purchased it in bulk to resell.
Love it! I think if I could do this, I would eat out some but check out some of the early bird specials (I Thrift for food lol). Love your haul. You will do very well!
This is such a great idea! What fun! (I stopped early and watched the earlier video.) My mother bought a children’s high-end resale shop with her retirement funds back in the day. When she’d come to California to visit me and my daughter, she would take us out thrifting and to the garment district in L.A. sourcing for her business, which I then thought was weird, but we had a blast and I learned a lot from her. She passed in 2006, and to my surprise, my daughter had caught the bug and started selling on PoshMark. I followed on Etsy and ultimately eBay and others. We are proudly following the “family business” that my mother actually invented in our family. I used to travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles periodically and relished the opportunity to stop at Goodwill outlets on the drive to and from. Sometimes I’d photograph and list from my hotel rooms. Now my daughter comes from Sacramento to San Francisco to help me pick up my online auction winnings because I can’t drive anymore. Traveling to source seems natural to us.
I recently found your channel and I’m trying to grow my little eBay store. I am so motivated and love watching your videos and learn even more! May I ask… how many listings on eBay do you usually have?
@@helpfulcommenter Weird. I distinctly recall buying Taco Bell Chihuahuas when I lived in a house I moved out of in the 1080s. I wonder if it was just an L.A. thing. Maybe they piloted it in the L.A. stores?
@@jochildress5003 You might be mixing up memories lol. I grew up in SoCal. The Taco Bell chihuahua launched in 97. As a matter of fact, the actual chihuahua (named “Gidget”) wasn’t even born until 1994.
I am from Richmond, Va!!!! If you guys still around, you should check out 2 thrift stores that I love to go. Fan Tastic Thrift Store and the new goodwill at forest hill. The have so many good stuff! 🤩
Great haul! These prices are more in line with what I have to pay in my area. My goal is to make $20 minimum with each item. I pick up lots of Fresh Produce and Toad & Co dresses. They sell well for me. Thank you for sharing!!!
So cool! You were in my neck of the woods! I love the Granger Goodwill in Charlottesville. You are so right about the Richmond bins by the way. I rarely find anything good there.
I went to that Richmond Bins too about 6-7 months ago - and, yeah, I found so very little. It was more like better versions of common mall brands. Not good...
Love this type of video. More please.
Love it and would enjoy more
Fun getaway!!!
Hey beautiful. Missed seeing your videos! Hope all is well. Love to see your still crushing it. And I can so relate with how fun it can be to travel and source.
Hey!! So glad to see you on here again!
My in laws live in northern VA, I haven’t thrifted there since I started reselling but try out the Blue Mountain Hospice Thrift shops if you go back.
Whenever I visit LA I always hit the thrifts. Last trip I pulled in about $650 worth of good items that have mostly all sold already. That profit payed for my expenses while on the trip!
That's awesome!!

Loved this format! Thanks for sharing!
Love your presentations.They are quiet, to the point, and very helpful.
FYI... It's "Quack"er Factory. Like a duck: quack quack. Hence the duck logo. ❤️
I know that and for some reason forget every time 🤦♀️
nice find on the ace&jig piece. this was a fun concept, you gotta do more!
Thank you! I can't wait, it was so much fun!
OMG THIS IS MY DREAM! I would LOVE to travel to source. What's better than traveling and making money at the same time
Also wanted to thank you for the Richmond Bins review. I was thinking about driving over 2 hrs to it. I'm in MD with really no good bins. I'm so glad I heard your thoughts first!
Of course! I'd definitely skip, I don't think it would be worth it.

I want the Nordic bat sweater!! 😍
Do you source at garage sales, and if Yes, how do you calculate and register your spendings?
We don't very often. Maybe once or twice a year but I'd like to more. If they don't provide a receipt, you can create your own receipt by writing it down. Some people get a receipt book.
Yes, more please! I have to travel out of my area to get decent things to flip. Love seeing how this works for other resellers. 😊
I really enjoyed this kind of video. I hope you do more.
I enjoyed watching this. It’s neat to see what items cost in other places. You found some great items!
I love that place. They have two, once is across the street from the other.
The haul was great! I thrift and travel too. The variety is amazing from town to town. I have alot of fun therefore mine are fast flips due to my traveling.

I'm hoping one of my viewers will tell me lol there is no style dot.
@@cayleyelaine I scoured lulufanatics too
That camo is similar to one I looked up a while back, it was called Tree-stand or something like that.
it's a good one
OMG, I want that Sorbe hoodie. Also, just wondering about the Tory Burch dress, and the dress right after that, which you called midi-length. They looked like they were just knee-length to me. I've always known midi to be calf-length and maxi ankle-length.
We'll definitely double check them before listing.
loved it!
Love that bakery! We used to live to Richmond, hated our bins, sadly.

I love it so far!
Quince is that brand that advertises all over YT and IG
their whole gimmick is super luxury feeling things for super cheap
Not sure if it’s still there, but we used to find great stuff at The Salvation Army in Charlottesville!
I just souced 5 minutes down the road ... I expect ill make $670 - $1,140 Gross net in A days worth of work ... cogs $200 and 10 Hrs of time
Awesome!!
Loved this travel video....BRAVO ❤️ ❤❤ More please 😁
This is my dream to do one day as well! Best part of having your own business! Love the idea for this type of video. Would love to see more!
I literally just sold that exact same Duluth Overalls last week for $40. THey're called the "Heirloom Gardening Shortalls"
Love it. You are brilliant. Cheers
I recently found your channel and I’m trying to grow my little eBay store. I am so motivated and love watching your videos and learn even more! May I ask… how many listings on eBay do you usually have?
We currently have about 8k listed right now. Hoping to shrink this down soon.
Loved this video!
Imagine waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, all jump-scare and sweaty, and turning over and seeing THAT PILLOW
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t ever travel just to visit Cincinnati’s bins. You will be extremely disappointed. Just a heads up!
Appreciate it!
The Joey pillow is iconic!!!! 😂
I think the Taco Bell chihuahua shirt is probably from the 1980s. I remember that era well!
Cool! Thank you!
Definitely from the 90s or Y2K - they didn't introduce the chihuahua till the mid-late 90s, I remember because I was in HS and it was a big deal
Yeah just looked it up, the chihuahua was introduced in 97 and the Gordita was introduced in 98, so I'd date that shirt from 1998 to 2000.

I sold that Lilly linen top on Poshmark last summer for $34 😀
UHG! That Richmond bins is the worst! It is consistently bad. There are some other really great places to thrift in Richmond.
