Thrifting in Ballarat Broke My SOUL. Op Shopping on a Saturday really kinda sucks in the 'Rat

Watch me as I drive for hours and a couple hundred kilometres to come up with nothing. Look in op shops where there is nothing to be found. I thought I should share this non glamour side to the job lol

You should have persisted with getting a carpark at Clunes. We always come away from Clunes Booktown with so many ebay bolos that we have to pump the tyres up.
You would have loved the Golden Books and Dr Seuss books there.

Trust me I am hating me so hard on that. it looked incredible. We are gonna spend the whole weekend there next year.

Went to that guy's house in Clunes, the Bowls Club and also to Booktown... 😅

[@geelong-flipper]

His signs tricked me

[@bec6516]

@geelong-flipper HE and his wife told me they sold their house and had the garage sale was that they bought somewhere in North Melbourne. They were surprised that I knew where that was, as I'm from Melbourne.
Yes, the opshops up here in Ballarat and surrounds are hit and miss, but I used to do volunteer work for the Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute in our pop up store - both in Sturt Street. I suggest you go there!

I thought you couldn't list the Mulberry Street book on ebay. I've got one to get rid. Well 2 if I took one out of my personal collection.

[@geelong-flipper]

I’ve sold several

[@geelong-flipper]

Don’t sell your own copy they are too cool

[@storiesabound]

@@geelong-flipper Yeah I doubt I will sell my own; don't want to regret it. I also have the Enid Blyton Golly Wog hardcover too which I think is frowned upon listing but can fetch a bit. But I don't want to break up my collection. Haven't found another of those in the wild yet.

[@geelong-flipper]

@@storiesabound I have that one too🥰

[@deadybears9607]

i listed a bundle of the Suess banned books, so I didn't have to name the titles. I still got my listing pulled and a warning from ebay. So now I'm stuck with them, lol

You walked past a vintage vision saucepan, in the box. If it was cheap enough, that could have made some decent money. Cheapest one on eBay right now is $37. Just spotted it in the vid and thought I should mention something about it.

[@geelong-flipper]

Thanks for that. Can you let me know roughly in the video when it happened please so as I know for next time

[@marthamaloney]

The vision pot was at 15:35 ish… keep up the good work. Loving your videos and down to earth nature!💕
