You should make a video showing us how to package and ship packages to Amazon fba, would be awesome and entertaining to watch. Also great video as always!
You could always bundle them together and sell them as a bundle of incomplete games too on Ebay if it's not worth selling it for pieces. Sometimes people will buy them like that to complete their games because they need the box or the game board. You got a pretty good deal on them. many times I find they are $5 to $10 CND a game here and you're still taking a chance that they may be incomplete.
I used to have a treadmill. Regretted buying it. All you have to do is go run outside and you get fresh air at the same time. Good luck when it's time to get rid of it. You can't even give them away.
I still use the treadmill luckily. But I did end up buying another one from Goodwill for $30 and flipped it locally for $100 in like 2 weeks which was nice.
There's a product called "ink b gone" that takes sharpie off almost anything. You can use it on the boxes and cardstock and it won't damage the box or cover. My stores here use sharpie on everything, so I use ink b gone alot.
That doll at 5:50 in the blue bin is a hasbro doll that eats, pees and poos, they are worth anywhere from 35-100 bucks, depending on how many functions she can do
At 7:05 you missed a good find with the light keeper pro Christmas light tester. They sell for around $20. Just sold one in less than a hour after listing. I usually pick those up for a dollar or 2.
Magic Erasers work wonders on sharpie on anything that is smooth!! Same with all the sharpie on plastic. You need to get one for your cleaning Arsenal!!
Cool videos. Someone said somebody is doing TH-cam videos at my local thrift store and I was like what? Since when? Turns out I've run into you a ton of times. Now I know who to talk to about starting a channel since I've been reselling for years now...
Hello, I was wondering how do you go out getting your stuff to Amazon for them to sell it for you? Is there a Amazon store you walk it into or do you have to ship it to them? Thanks for another great video! Happy Holidays
for the missing pieces, you can always find the same games at the thrift to complete a game. most people go to the bins and find parts for board games that way. at 2,and 1 dollar i dont think its a loss to buy board games just for the pieces. just my thoughts.
Hello fellow CTer! Red, White, and Blue Thrift has some good deals, but the last few times I was there the place was super packed. Like 20 person line to pay and packed isles. I also would never get the electronics there because of AS-IS policy. Goodwill has been getting kinda crazy with the prices. Dont go to the one in Westport. Complete waste of time. They put retail prices on everything. Maybe I'll see you in the wild one day!
I will do the same with used games. My Goodwill is $1 on Saturdays for the color of the week and I will sometimes just pick up all the games if they look to be in good condition and check the to make sure everything is there later. I figure for $1 each I can take the gamble.
it is so weird to see you at red white and blue i go there all the time and have found good stuff there, just so odd seeing you walk in there! lol! that place is always packed
Hi, im a new subscriber, and a thrift reseller in Florida. I had a question on; how did you figure out your sell price for the agent armstrong big box rare item? I looked on Amazon and ebay for sold history, and found nothing. Should I be looking for different pricing guide websites, besides ebay/amazon?
What's the cheapest way to ship a game through eBay? I have quite a few sitting here but some of the bigger/longer ones may require a large flat rate box which is $$$
When you counted the pieces in the open board games was the ratio to games that were complete compared to games that with missing pieces relatively the same. If so, I am guessing that it takes at least one hour to count the pieces in board games. Your time is worth more than $10 an hour, so counting pieces significantly lowers your profit.
The missing pieces game purchases make no sense to me, mostly because the margin just isn't there. You're looking at mere dollars of profit... and is there net, after spending hours shopping, counting, listing, and if you sell, packing and shipping? You gotta be losing money at that point. The complete games had some impressive margins! I used to do this for a living with books and DVD/CDs. It's hard to have the discipline to say no to the lower margin treasures.
@@onlyme7907 That's a valid concern, just not on the top of my mind. I was scammed in person with an IPhone X I purchased, so I am just iffy on the whole thing. I would need to have a receipt or copy of an invoice signed in order for me to feel comfortable taking that gamble.
some board game manufacturers will send you free replacement parts. Big guys like Hasbro probably won't but a lot of the smaller companies making the newer hobby games will.
how you feel about lonnie working with his wife? predictions? DUDE my house is getting overrun with inventory and i dont even buy as much as you and you are keeping games that are missing pieces. I need more room LOL. About to be sleeping in my stuff and im a decent lister
@@friedhockeyboogieman3215 yea i couldnt do it with mine. she fails to understand basic reselling rules and practices like NOT immediately blowing all the money you make....
Goodwill is so overpriced on everything. Those $1 cat foods are actually $1 NEW at Walmart. The place is one giant rip-off scam, and I never even go to them any more. Don't understand why people go to Goodwill...
Hey, you're from Connecticut right? I'm pretty sure I put that salvage sticker on the COD game, if it had T1528 on the bottom right thats our store I can't believe I saw it again
I found the H.P. book at a G.W. and I opened it up and found the original receipt with $32 in cash! It paid for my purchase! YAY!
Listen, man! Commonwealth picker KILLS it with selling the pieces as replacements! Sometimes for more than the actual complete boardgame! Worth a try!
Try using a dry erase markers and writing over the sharpie, works for me everytime😉
Works all the time..no marks!
You should make a video showing us how to package and ship packages to Amazon fba, would be awesome and entertaining to watch. Also great video as always!
Toothpaste usually will take permanent marker off cardboard with alittle rubbing carefully without messing up box

Make the buyer pay shipping on those on ebay. Sell for $14.99 plus shipping on stratego. Phase 10 games are big $$$. Perfect timing on those finds.

What are the benefits of starting an Amazon store versus selling on eBay?
I also load up my cart and look up things I'm not certain of in a nice private corner / area. Great video once again.

Dry erase marker applied carefully should work depending on the book's finish.
Sounds like a great way to make a death pile. The wait for finding a board game.
Already have a massove death pile. Might as well add more lol
@@ThriftSchool If you have a Savers near your, just donate those board games and get yourself a 20 percent off coupon. That's what I do.
it is so weird to see you at red white and blue i go there all the time and have found good stuff there, just so odd seeing you walk in there! lol! that place is always packed
Can you mention how much the purchases cost you initially alongside your profits? Thanks!
Cocoon first movie has high selling price on ebay. I sold used dvd for $25! We use to play Monopoly back in the 80’s.
How long does it take on average to resell this stuff. I’m trying to become a different type of reseller myself, but also do that too
I've been to that first goodwill and it's nice to see they have cleaned up. That place was a dump.

I'd be terrified of buying a console from someone off of Offerup or FB marketplace in case it was bricked.
Too many scammers out there.

This happens to me a lot. I rush to look everything up right before the store closes.
How much do you make a month?
hairspray gets rid of sharpie... or any permanent marker..
how come you are restricted from selling some items ,? also 50 cents shipping to amazon? im guess usa not canada for that
How many book are there for Harry Potter???
What app do you use?
How much would you like for a ps4 game..good good finds on this haul congratulations
How is best way to ship board games
Great vid. Thanks as always.
Question -- how do you get the nasty tape off the used game boxes without damage? I have not found a great solution...
I use a heat gun ti slowly peel the tape. It rarely leaves any residue
@@ThriftSchool Have you ever found monopoly China addition
Hair dryer and a plastic Scotty peeler. Nice and slow.
Love your videos always... More..more..more.. plesase!
some board game manufacturers will send you free replacement parts. Big guys like Hasbro probably won't but a lot of the smaller companies making the newer hobby games will.
Good god man get yourself a heater for that garage!
A few years later, how is the treadmill doing?
Still good. Got it in the same spot lol. Use it pretty frequently, suprisingly
I have that same treadmill it was such a pain to put together lmao
Much safer to meet at the police station down the road from the library. It’s literally a minute from the library.
Highway to Heaven, I used to love watching it.

Looks like the Final Value Fee app hasn't updated for eBay managed payments.
Yeah I dont think it has. So techincally I make a little bit more, but its always good to guess under than over
Love it!!
Just donate those incomplete games
Hi from the UK,
If the games are not sealed, how can you really be sure that they are complete.
Stay safe,
Bill from Manchester.
You can tell by the seal and if it’s real or not
A lot of games will list the parts enclosed.
Looks like Danbury ct to me.lol
There is a reason these game were given away. I wouldn’t pay $10 for the whole lot. Expect for resistance. But I already own it so…
Do you think one can still profit if they sell on Amazon but MF?
I charge shipping for board games i usually just put 9.99 shiping, sell them all the time
What's the cheapest way to ship board games?
Ice machine. Not crusher. When you need more ice like at a party.
i have seen this movie, its quite nice
Part them out.. especially if you're the only one selling g replacement pieces
First love your videos keep up the good work i can't wait for more
Great thrift hunting!!!!!!😀🕹
i found typewriter ink i was going to leave it nope it sold on ebay for good coin who knew
Yes can
Goodwill is so overpriced on everything. Those $1 cat foods are actually $1 NEW at Walmart. The place is one giant rip-off scam, and I never even go to them any more. Don't understand why people go to Goodwill...
You are so correct.
I have cats. Sheba is 64 cents at Walmart.
Goodwill is the worst.
Try a magic eraser. Works great!
that cat food is overpriced. .72 at walmart
You forgot the, "This is Thrift School signing off, See ya!" :)
I love shed flips
Hey, you're from Connecticut right? I'm pretty sure I put that salvage sticker on the COD game, if it had T1528 on the bottom right thats our store I can't believe I saw it again
Cat food cost $1
I only got $8 for a Harry Potter hard cover set.
You under sold I’d pay you 10$ for that at least lol
Funnily'? Hilarious 😂
You’re not allowed to bring your stuff in the house lol?
I do all the time. It just gets crowded fast lol
Cool and Goodwill should never be in the same sentence 😂
Legend
I should get someone else to help you look up the prices
Yikes some of that stuff is overpriced on amazon
Sorry I have to laugh thinking that’s cold. It’s currently -30 where I live
