I am not a reseller I go into a thrift store to save money. Some thrift stores are trying to get in on the reselling game, however, some of these thrift stores have forgotten what their purpose is and that is to help those who otherwise cannot afford regular prices. Thrift stores need to be just that….thrift stores! Garage sale prices. It is the customer’s business what he or she do with that purchase. I also believe that the resell culture has contributed to the thrift stores raising prices. But I also believe that some of the prices people are paying for a used item is crazy as well. I guess an item’s value is only what someone is willing to pay.
I whole heartedly agree that thrift stores have forgotten what their intended poirpose was. There items have been donated to them and to ask such high prices for those people who can't afford retal stores means they forgot about humanity. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Sad but true, thriftflation is apon us! Most thrift stores in Dallas use ebay or amazon to price stuff now, or the people pricing the itmes price them super high so no one buys them & then takes them home to resell themselves. It's a shame but what can you do?
I've been noticing high prices at Goodwill for the last 2-3 years, in so Cal, orange county area. And they've been getting lots of product from Target...
Coming at you from Central California. Well, the Goodwill is, of course, crazy expensive - their greed is over the top. I'd say about half the thrift shops here have followed suit (with Goodwill pricing). All the others have crept up a little bit due to inflation, but not too bad. What's weird is many yard sellers and folks on Offerup are trying to charge exorbitant prices. Higher prices than when new, so also following suit I guess. Maybe it's just California. They tend to get a little nuts out here.
Thanks Judy for your Comment. It's not just California...Here in texas people are buying from clearance stores and then reselling at garage sales at their normal prices. It's just insane. Thanks for watching! 👍
I used to buy all my clothes from Goodwill. Not at all now. Why pay $7.99 for a USED shirt when I can buy brand new off the clearance rack at Walmart for $3?!
Up here the prices are just too high now also. Also I’m seeing the big thrifts putting broken or cracked goods out. What a waste. Goodwill, Value Village have lost my business. I’ve started finding better deals at the small thrift stores and antiques where they like us to bundle and haggle. Cheers 🇨🇦
Hey Mary, I would have to agree with you on the small thrift and antique stores. I have found better deals at those places. Thanks for watching from Canada and sharing your comment. 👍
Yes, quadruple. I was looking at a cute cookie jar for myself and the price was originally $32. It was half off and I said "nope too much" AND it had a major chip. I'd never pay more than $10 if it's made in China because the paint wears off. I know the stores around here are looking up Ebay prices. They also cut the Birthday bonus of 50% off. You used to be able to get $100 and now it's $25. I'm not a reseller yet- not sure if I want to.
Thanks for watching and sharing. I still love the thrill of the treasure hunt. It's a lot of fun. Prices have made it harder for sure, but I still love it and reselling for profit. 👍
I very seldom go into a thrift store anymore for this reason! And my little town doesn't even have a chain thrift store. It is just a small one called Samaritan Center. I have heard they go through the donations and then send the good stuff to a bigger store they have in another city. But they have nearly doubled their prices this past year. So I just quit going in. I haven't been in it for probably 5 months now.
I agree. It's sad that these are donations and they are raising prices so high. I know bills have to be paid and people's wages, but they are still donated items for everyone. Thanks for watching👍

Our Badwill wants an arm, a leg, and a left ear for everything.
I like the term...Bad will. 😁👍

Nice to hear from tou. I've seen the same thing. I wish we could figure out how to beat the system. Glad you watched. 👍
@RKTreasureCenter maybe work part time at a thrift store, if you can beat them, beat them at their own game 🤣

Thanks for watching and sharing. We have a 2 Target, 5 Ross, and a 2 Burlington within a 10 mile radius. It's crazy.

Nope same things happening here in Kansas

I sometimes source at estate sales. They have multiple every weekend in my area.
Fo sure estate sales can be good too. I go to them once in a while, but they can be high priced in our area.
@@RKTreasureCenter usually the last day is 50% off.

Great seeing you and Kim! great video brother.
Thank you Danny. 👍👍👍
Goodwill is so high, I quit going there.
But, I do have 2 thrifts in Mitchell near me that are good. Regeneration is good.
Thanks for watching and sharing. We have to go to small mom and pop thrifts to still find decent prices around here. 👍
🎉 good job on a Kate Spade tray
Thank you. It took the right person for sure. After all the 30 percent sales it's funny it finally sold at full asking price. Thanks for watching. 👍
