i love selling vintage ladies hats ..felt, straw, wool...i've sold quote a few that i picked up for .50 to 2.00 and resold for 25-30 ..sold a few cowboy hats too quite well
I live in SC. Now talk about small towns! I've seen some of these brands actually in my goodwill stores. So bigger small there's gotta be things you can find out there to reset I just have never paid attention much about it I didn't know you could get this much money on items such as these!
Lumpini is Muay Thai boxing stadium in Bangkok. The trunks are sold all over Bangkok as souvenirs. I suspect they are Asian sized FYI. (Smaller than Western sizes) Good Luck Ben!
Love your videos I keep learning things all the time. I would like to see you do a rural thrifting video. I live out in the middle of Oklahoma. The nearest thrift store is 30 minutes away so its a challenge but it can be done just have to adapt and expand my knowledge.
I’ve done some videos in more rural stores. Maybe it’s time for me to take a trip and do another 👍. And yeah you hit the nail on the head. Adapting to your area is key 🔑
I'm shocked at how cheap some of those items were, especially for NY. Also, I probably would've bought the clothes you passed up for yourself because I don't have that kind of self control! Great video!
Just want to say thank you. I’m a truck driver and I stop at goodwills all over the country buy and resell. I was in Yuma Arizona and bought my first Brioni shirt listed it and sold in under 24hrs All because of you!!!
That’s awesome. Such a good brand. Hope the score keep on rolling in for you. I bet being a trucker you’ve been exposed to lots of different thrifts along the way.
@@marcusesteves3120 I think it would be interesting. Considering you could be hitting up lots of different stores and places. it would be great for gaining perspective to other areas.
I love your content and I am a subscriber. I am also a New Yorker and I am not rude. We are actually very social people. We are not patient but we aren’t rude. Most of who you encounter in the city aren’t even true New Yorkers. They moved there for work. Just keep that in mind and please try not to paint an entire group of people with the same brush. It usually doesn’t have a good outcome. Thank you
Hey, sorry it was a joke. Which is why I said all jokes aside afterwards. It’s just a stereotype that New Yorkers get. And I agree with you that many locals are plenty nice and helpful. I apologize if it seemed like I was painting them in a bad light.
lived there briefly many years ago, lived longer on long island and visited nyc often. always smooth sailing with other people. example: almost fell off my chair at a concert at MSG and the people behind me caught me. what more can you ask for?
I’m not sure how charity shops operate. But, here in the US thrift stores are independent business’ who make money from goods that are often times donations to keep stuff out of landfills. Some thrifts are for profit and just keep the money earned like any other business. And others use the money earned to fund programs that help people out. They are not necessarily there to supply those in need with goods directly. Rather raise funds for them. Thus resellers are generally welcomed as we send lots of money at these stores that is then funneled into the assistance programs. So the more we shop the more money they get to funnel into programs. And lots of thrifts even have stores and opportunities geared towards resellers like the goodwill bins and auction houses that sell stuff by the pallet / truckload. So reselling isn’t frowned upon by the institutions here. It’s only frowned upon by those who are ignorant as to how they operate. On top of all that it’s seen as a great for sustainability to shop second hand as well. 👍👍
I'm surprised they didn't put those brand new Madewell jeans on an individually priced rack for $20. Good find. Overall it seemed the prices weren't too bad for NYC. Well, except the shoes, not much meat on the bone for most shoes if you gotta pay $20 per pair. Most thrift stores in the Houston area seem to sell them for around $10.
Went to a GW in Virginia last night, and they had all the Dansko, Alegria, and Vans in a display case. Most priced at $34, vans were 20. No running or basketball shoes out at all. Guess those are being sold online somewhere.
That jersey is probably a fake on the earlier 2000’s Reebok nfl those collars are a dead give away. But I watch your channel for knowledge so maybe you can educate me. But I always stay away from that collar design. Thanks for the videos keep it up
Gr8 place to visit but never live lol Ben.. It's very nice to see your able to find some items to resell for profit from the thrift stores.. Hopefully you smashed some delicious NY style 🍕 pizza it's my absolute favorite love thin crust..😂 The girl walking behind you was creepy but OH well..😜 Stay safe all..👍💕🔥⚾😷
I like visiting the city on occasion. When Felicia lived there she loved it and wants to move back. But I don’t really want to live in a city like that. Defiantly got me some pizza though 😛
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Why did Ben cross the road? To get to the next thrift store! "I'm always on the wrong side of the road!" 😄 Peace! ✌
Funny the alpaca stuff is dirt cheap in Bolivia, or at least when I lived there in '87-88. Those were like $5 new there on the street. Back in early 2000s I sold all the alpaca rugs we had gotten there, still have 4 of the carnival dragon masks.
I can tell you my small town marks its stuff up to ebay prices consistently, especially clothes. They know the brands better than me and have fewer of them.
I just love your videos! You are nice, never cut throat and always respectful. I’ve watched other resellers and just cringe at their lack of humanity and humility. Anyway, I was telling my friend while watching your channel, I said “I like this guy, he knows how to TH-cam”. She said, “yeah he’s easy on the ears (cuz your voice isn’t annoying) and he’s easy on the eyes! Lol, so true! I’m subscribing to ya finally after months of watching you. Keep up the good work!!
Here in Boise the thrift stores price the better items(and not always in good condition) $15-$30. They started jumping the prices in March of this year. Since they do eBay I guess they're trying to kill off the competition.
Eh I don’t think that would be the cause. Having items marked up it’s nothing new. Thrifts have always priced better items up and had little “boutique” sections. They have also been selling online for 20+ years. Goodwill started their online store back in like 1999. And I’ve existed on lots of online marketplaces since then. If anything the prices are just rising due to higher cost of living, higher rental rates, more taxes, higher overhead, employee pay increases etc. it happens in every market.
I live in central NY and have never been to NYC. I'm ok with that. I find enough here for me but I'm not a full time seller. I really don't know what is considered a full or part time seller.?
Wow even before he said new York city i could tell it was new York or new jersey and i have never been their, the city's unkept ambience is unmistakable
Enjoy your findings and resells. 👏👍💯🙆

What an awesome way to explore NYC and make some money too!
Best way to explore and pay for the trip 💯
It’s crazy but my small town thrift stores are more expensive then New York’s lol. But there’s always ways to source, just gotta be creative.
Awesome video brother
Thanks man. I appreciate the support 😎
Ok Ben. I want to meet Felicia!
its gotta be hard to live off of just flipping in NY since everythings more expensive there!

Me too. They must not have seen the tag on the inside. And yeah $20 is steep for the majority of stuff I typically find.

The Paris soccer jersey?
Believe San Francisco is more expensive
The girl who was filming you either:
A) thought you were attractive and was trying to get your attention
B) Famous
Haha I figured she probably just found it weird that I was walking around talking to a camera 😆

I was at that third Goodwill this past weekend. Just looking for a warmer coat for myself. Scored Tommy Hilfiger Wool Toggle Coat for $25! 😍
Good pacing and nice comps at the end!
Papsrazzi! Is it your first time on tne street? Funny, but a review of how good your videos are! And how handsome you are!
This was very exciting to see just what you would find 😍 great items!
Thanks! It was a good time 👍👍
Can you do a video on how to maximize store benefits?
Nice have fun

Nice!!!
