    Dude! Did you just buy a Gameboy Micro for less than $2.00!?!

    • @2ndhanddaisy
      @2ndhanddaisy Před 6 lety +1

      Geeze! You got to go back with cash!

    • @thecollegepicker

    • @2ndhanddaisy
      @2ndhanddaisy Před 6 lety +1

      Awesome :-) and you can buy a charger on Ebay. Maybe $5.00 for one in the USA.

    The Outlet Village in Jabal Ali is like a thrift mall i don't know what to call it but everything there is cheap

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

      Eman Xotwod thanks for the tip! Is it used items or second hand? The one I'm looking at on Google looks like a place that sells new things. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one.

    • @raghdahussein362
      @raghdahussein362 Před 5 lety

      What about sephora at the outlet village?

  • @joemolina6416

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

    @coolhandsouk1574 Před 6 lety

  • @Corvidae65
    @Corvidae65 Před 6 lety +1

    Cooler than a ski resort in Dubai! The thrift looked and was priced just like one at home. I do hope you pick up the gameboy on your return.
    Are you planning a trip out into the desert? Be cool to see the dunes and solitude if you could find a guide.
    Thanks for letting us tag along on your journeys. 🐮

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety +1

      🎿I grabbed the gameboy. Its not an original but for the price I had to =) No desert trips planned. Id like to do some camping but we will see. You are always welcome to freeload the journey haha

      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

      Thanks =) went back today, got the RGs, gameboy and trek jersey. Then found the Filipino town resale shops. Prices just as good but not charity based. Found 2 great items at one of the filipino shops, then ran out of dirham.

    • @cronicjointpain1
      @cronicjointpain1 Před 6 lety

      thecollegepicker Hell yeah! I would seriously look through those suits too. Bound to be some valuable ones unless they pick through them before putting in the store.

  • @boopchii4405
    @boopchii4405 Před 3 lety

    I guess another close thing to a thrift shop
    In dubai is Brands for less but it can be expensive sometimes since it is actual brands but if you look good enough you can find so many cheap and great quality clothing

  • @henrys3629
    @henrys3629 Před 6 lety +3

    Get some Duram! The only TS turns out to be the best store. I will not make the same mistake, because I won't be in Dubai.

  • @livefromdubai5099
    @livefromdubai5099 Před 6 lety

    Next time, just walk up the street to DayToDay, Centro or Bonanza. Literally a direct walk up from the ADCB Metro Station. Walk towards LuLu towards Bur Dubai Mall.

  • @raghdahussein362

    You guys might not brlieve this but after this video was uploaded i bought that wii crazy but the game boy micro wasnt there😢

  • @Wheely55
    @Wheely55 Před 6 lety

    Wow! I'm sure shipping individual packages from Dubai would kill any profit but what if you collected a bunch of stuff and had one big package shipped to house back home and then listed them when you got back? Would it be worth it? I'm sure you can find some seriously good high value items there with all the rich people donations? Thanks for sharing.

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

      It's all for luggage back home 😁 nothing getting shipped. 🤙🐪🇦🇪

    • @thecollegepicker

    @123huskieman Před 6 lety

    I say you vanlife here for a few months and make as much money as you can through thrifting. Another huge chunk of college debt can be put out!

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

      😁 right. I love the Toyota hiace vans here. Snub nosed compact Toyota quality vans. I already got a solid 4 pickups today. The two RG from the charity shop, and I discovered the Filipino resale shops. Scored two gems there and then ran out of money. 🤙

    • @123huskieman
      @123huskieman Před 6 lety

      thecollegepicker check out Thrift Bazaar on google maps

    • @thecollegepicker
      @thecollegepicker  Před 6 lety

      Gotcha, I see it. If it's just clothing that's not the same as a thrift store in the US or on AU. Our thrift shops have home goods as well and electronics. I'd still like to check it out though.

    • @tas25
      @tas25 Před 6 lety
