    Even though I'm no longer selling, I enjoy watching your videos. Truth be told, I still have the itch to go out and source stuff to sell. I just don't have the time or patience anymore. After being scammed on a major item, it just killed the fun in it.
    You guys keep going strong!!

    Great finds! I think that you should go to the bins for a couple of hours for one of your videos and dig for treasures. I love the bins and I find so much good stuff to resell there, but it does take time to dig through everything. Lots of resellers make their money solely on bins items.

    There has been a few goodwill‘s in my area that have gone ridiculous in their prices. By ridiculous I mean they are basing all their prices off of eBay. And it’s weird because I feel like they’re shooting themselves in the foot or they would rather price the item high in hopes, that that one person looking for that one specific book That cost $30 on eBay walks in and find it for $20 at their store. That’s not gonna happen. I feel like they would rather price high never sell it instead of getting two dollars for it. They would rather let it go to the bins or recycle center. it just makes no sense. I used to show up to this Goodwill and they could barely keep up in keeping their shelves stocked. Now I show up and things are overflowing. Their glass cases are so full. You can’t even see what’s in there anymore. I feel like it might take a few months maybe a year until they realize they should go back to pricing everything how they used to. I think the problem is they have hired younger people that are aware of resellers, and they have this kind of animosity or anger towards us so they price high so that we can make a buck off of them even though they’re making a buck off of donations. also, it’s not just Goodwill‘s other thrift stores are following in the same path. I can’t wait until they ask themselves “why have sales dropped”

    • @propicker
      @propicker  8 месяцев назад +1

      I've seen it happen over the years in a couple regions where prices shoot up and typically they'll come back down. Hopefully, that's the case for you.

    That's cool on the flight controller. Years ago I found like 4 pedals on 3 or 4 pieces of the steel battalion controller. Had to sell them all as untested but made a great profit on them. Love finding that kind of stuff, seems to get passed up on.

    • @propicker
      @propicker  7 месяцев назад

      Wow, the steel battalion joystick setup has been a bolo of mine for years. Great job finding the pieces for it! We recently bought a copy of the game and flipped it, but still looking to find the joystick setup someday.

    • @DArchAngel69
      @DArchAngel69 7 месяцев назад

      @propicker yeah. It was years ago but was still a great flip. Only paid 4 bucks for each piece. I didn't have a complete controller so I sold each piece as is. I had also found steel battalion from the same person a few weeks prior but had sold it. Lol. I miss those days.

    I thought you had a good thumbnail and title in the last video. Thought you'd get some Mr. Beast numbers with it as well, surprising it "tanked" as you said. These have been two of my favorite videos of yours. I love the fast pace and different locations.

    • @propicker

    What a crazy trip, I would have been burned out after the halfway point. lol nice finds for sure, but I think it showed the superiority of garage sales. I’ve predominantly always gotten my items from thrift stores but due to recent price hikes in my area I’m looking to shift that business model. Garage sales seem to be the best ROI.

    Nice hat find, we're they still putting stuff out, I would have stuck around and seen what else came out, no way that hat sat there for very long, I've found a few of the splash design at my valley for cheap, recently a with tags mighty ducks, the last one that came through though they caught, was a Cleveland Indians, they prices it at $180

    When you buy something with a price tag sticker on it like you do in this video, do you remove it when you photograph to resell? And if so, do the stickers come off easy without effecting the surface of the packaging/surface? What happens when it doesn’t?

    • @propicker
      @propicker  8 месяцев назад +3

      We'll often use a small blow dryer to heat up the glue and make the stickers easier to peel off. Sometimes, if needed we will bring out the goof off / goo gone.

      Our Goodwill gets them all the time. Excellent condition. Sells them at $6-7. I've seen so many sell online thought I'd try my luck. Listed back then at 24.99. Had to dead pile all of them. Sold at garage sales instead. Wranglers I sell instantly. Can't keep them stocked

      @@michaelgausman9214 I find that hard to believe because Rock Revival has been a bolo for years now, and the STR is over 100%, and Wrangler has a horrible STR. Rock Revival currently has 4600 sold and 3200 listed. Wrangler has 30,000 sold and almost 92,000 listed.
