I drove 33 minutes to my nearest good will the other day and WOW you are extremely gifted to have a packed good will! mine was extremely small and absolutely had nothing. I picked up a few things to resell for $10-$20 profit to make a few bucks for gas but it was a ghost town goodwill 😅
That is a long drive for a Goodwill, but I actually like the smaller ones. It's all about pricing for me. As long as they price things low there's almost always opportunity.
You should have grabbed that caterpillar toy @ 7:32 It is a STEM toy to teach coding to kids. Looks like it was just missing the start and stop signal pads, but selling it by itself you can still make money.
I have to super hustle in SoCal to find affordable items with good profit margins at the thrift. Most of the time I'm paying up compared to prices all over the US 😅
Hi Wick, another solid vid. Shoe question: Do you keep a drawer full of new shoelaces to replace any old ratty ones you find on a good pair of shoes/ boots? Or just sell as is?
Hi on average how long does it take you to sell an item, month, 2 months. I know it depends but just in general. I've thought of getting into it but do not want to sitting on product for months
If you're very picky with what you buy and sell things cheaper than competitors, you can flip really fast. Good items at a low price can sell in less than a week or even in hours. Average items are going to take 1-3 months and some will take over a year. Someone like me sells many different items to keep a cash flow, so waiting a year on some items isn't a big deal.
@FlippingJunk thanks for explaining, it's seems like there's is a lot of people doing this, and when I go to the local thrift stores I can pick out those customers as resellers. I think I ll start off slow see how it goes because the main concern is making sure goods ship timely to avoid bad scores from buyers along with good condition products if not sold "as is"
Would you ever consider talking a leatherman or mini screwdriver with you to check out the electronics in items before purchasing? Heaps easier to check them out in store before purchasing as you won’t have to bin them or return them. (I repair the contracts myself if they don’t look too bad on valuable items) I’ve seen one guy who took in a fanny pack with all types of batteries and a small screwdriver set to test before purchase.
Yeah, I have considered doing that. Actually yesterday was thinking about putting a pack together. It's a must if your thrift stores don't allow returns, but most places I shop do allow 7 days to return items not working, so I haven't made the pack yet. Might keep one in the car this garage sale season, though.
Yeah man I'm chronic at knowing it's a good idea (or option to have) but not putting a pack or carrying a mini screwdriver. I'm always in a rush but I now think I'm wasting more time taking the thing back to get returned as I'm going to have to open it up anyways at home. If you end up doing it would love to see it mentioned or tested out in a video.@@FlippingJunk
coming out of our shells was a banger!
Those 90s doc martens are worth every penny too they are the most comfortable boots I've ever had. Go higher than 75
The brass stocking holder at 1:00 sells for like 50-70 around Christmas
I used to live across the street from the Trurtles museum in Northampton MA.... 24 years ago 😳
Am I the only one thinking I got a sale every time he shows the prices?
What?
@@andreaschmall5560 he means the cha Ching sound lol. Sounds like an eBay notification for a sale
Yea all the time lol
@@DragonMastersFinds Okay...now I get it. thanks.
Yes for the last 3 years, he should change just a little.
Sourcing for a profit is always great! Keep it up!
Your sell thru on Ebay is great. You are an expert in picking up poop (what other resellers think is garbage) and reselling it for a nice profit.

@@FlippingJunkabsolutely!!

I've bought them before, but this one was in rough shape or the price wasn't great. Can't really remember.
Squishmellow is on the way out. Not selling like they were. Nice haul 🎉
I haven't been sourcing for about 4 weeks now and I'm hurtin for sales right now. I can't wait to get out there and continue the hunt!
I saw the same turtles vhs at the swap shop for a $1. It was alright. I sold mine for $10-$15.
Forgive me if there's something I don't know, but grab some dollar store readers bro. I need the to see Nike style tags. Helps tremendously.
Great haul! Happy new year! This year will be a good year for thrifting!!

Thanks for the tip off on the see and say storymaker. I woulda not even looked that up. :)
Glad I could help!
Did you notice the mid century lamp with original shade near the luggage? Some can be a good find.
Happy New Year! What dud you say removes the price on the bottom of the shoes?? Thank you for your videos!
Lots of things will, but I currently use lift off.
Really nice haul 👌
Cool
I really thought that board game said something other than “Shiny Dice” I had to go back and watch it again just to make sure 😂
That would have been a very interesting game lol
❤
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Wondering what do you use or your process for voicing over videos you have like you do!?
Hi Wick, another solid vid. Shoe question: Do you keep a drawer full of new shoelaces to replace any old ratty ones you find on a good pair of shoes/ boots? Or just sell as is?
I have a few laces, but usually sell as is. If it's a really good pair I'll replace though if needed.
Forget the lamp, I enlarged the screenshot and it didn’t look that good after all. Ha
I did check it out, it caught my eye also.

Are you a hoarder or a seller? 😀😀😀
Little bit of both at this point lol
@@FlippingJunk you will always have inventory. Just gotta keep steady listing
