I swear to God my thrift stores don't have s***, everything I look up is selling for almost the exact same price as eBay. I think my city has a lot of hoarder, picker, preper type people but the thrift stores are hardly worth it.
It’s because so many people were buying clothes just to resell so the thrift shops figured might as well charge the higher price if it’s not actually gonna go to someone that needs it.
Listed prices by random ebay sellers don’t mean the item will actually sell for that much unfortunately. Woul love to see a follow up video where you actually sell some of it and show us how much the items were ultimately sold for. Otherwise these videos mean nothing really
He's very aware of this. In other videos he talks about sales rank and how to make sure you are stocking items that sell and not items that you'll have to wait months / years to get a profit on. But this is a speed run, we can cut him a bit of slack
It's a bullshitery. Empty gesturing to get young lazy People excited or anyone desperate for an easy buck. Meanwhile he makes his bucks from RUclips. Meaning us. Scam, scum and a bag...
I say this everytime, I do this as a side hustle and you actually have to find a buyer for these items. Just because they sell doesn't mean they sell often enough to hold them for months upon months
definitely have seen this with old warhammer models. it can be 40 years old, unopened and still in its plastic wrap. but no one is gonna buy it for 200 bucks. that wont prevent the listers tho.
Precisely. You can get a lot of net work buying stuff off of goodwill, but it doesn’t matter if no one’s going to buy it. Who goes on eBay to buy a used mug?
I didn't really know what a "thrift" store is but e-commerce stores do sell things with more price. Even in my shop, I have many things that are cheaper when you search up its price on e-commerce store.
I see where your coming from but at the same time NOTHING should be exclusive when it comes to purchasing something. A low price is just a low price. Anyone is allowed to take advantage of that
Goodwill is, in fact, a nonprofit organization, and the money its thrift stores make goes towards community programs like job training, placement services, and classes for people who have disabilities or are otherwise challenged in finding traditional employment. Anyone can buy what they like.
I frequently dumpster dive apartment complex areas and I get lucky finding items placed by the dumpsters. Sold a working a Xbox for $85, microwaves for parts, tvs, treadmills for the motor parts. Can't beat free stuff in the trash and making some profit off it.
Honestly, i have that panasonic sound system, looks 100% like mine, except i have a turntable on top and did some modifications for more modern speakers. That sound system rocks everything, i will never need something else
Wish these videos where more honest about how difficult this really is. I did it for 2 years. They make it seem like you just walk in, look around for 5 minutes and walk out with $100 profit. It's not true. What they don't show you is that you're looking at about a 1-2 month waiting period on the item to sell if your lucky. Could take longer. Could be 6 months. so you need a good amount of free cash because you gotta feed yourself and be able to constantly buy new inventory. Then you gotta hope that your item doesn't get undercut by some mass market seller. then you gotta pay for packaging and proper inventory storage. Then you gotta hope that your item is satisfactory to the buyer. On ebay a few bad reviews will ruin your store. Then you gotta hope the item doesn't get returned. Then you gotta pay ebay 11-14% on the sale. You gotta pay for gas for every trip to the thrift store. And if you dont find anything to resell, which happens sometimes, you just lost money and time! The list goes on and on. As someone who actually did this for 2 years. It's not worth it. There are better hustles or jobs out there.
I’m a year late, but I can say the strat for thrifitng is live in the south. Also if there’s a tech item at a (local) thrift store it works 99% of the time because it’s tested out beforehand.
@@WellnessWizdom - Oh? So as soon as he had it in his hands it magically became more money? Or was it looking online, listing the item, finding the buyer, shipping it, etc … for $6.04 profit. Nice. So worth the effort.
I bet it took a lot less time for him to sell it then it took for you to sell it by not even bothering to try. Do you think he didn't research these items first to see if people are buying them? He literally showed you proof of them selling.
A lot of the stuff at my thrift store sucks. You sometimes see video games and consoles (which I scoop up) and some old blu ray players, or dvd/cassette players. I did pick up a skateboard today, which is pretty cool, only 5 bucks too
the listings that are shown in green are sold for the price shown and most had sale dates of Nov. 2022 on them and being this video is over a year old it was pretty close to being current at that time.
Profit shopping is very different from actually buying transporting posting storing waiting waiting waiting oh yeah and then shipping if you didn't throw it away or redonate it bc it didn't sell.
Hope you make that money bro you still get good prices my goodwill is straight up pricing everything at eBay value in the electronics I did pass up a toy worth about 50 by mistake whenever I looked it up later so they can’t catch everything but nice finds
Dude just Lost 60 bucks lol. Who is going to pay 75 bucks for a hoverboard without a charger that might not work. I just bought my son a new one for 75 🤣
Ok but who tf is gonna go on eBay and buy this stuff, that’s just what people price them at, not what they sell them at, cus they probably don’t get sold
Here's an idea: why don't you go to eBay and find out for yourself? It literally cost you nothing. But you won't do that, because then you'll have to come up with another excuse to not take action. The dude is pretty much showing you how to print money.
Yeah most of this stuff will probably take you atleast a few days to sell. Sometimes weeks or even months. But things like the squishmallow would sell in like a day or two if you put a fair price
Me when i go to places meant for poorer individuals to afford things and flip their things for more money (i have no heart and love seeing poor families cry)
@@honkingthechickenaway5973 Sure, but certain items take forever. I make about 4.5k monthly with reselling. It’s much easier when you have solid items that turn over quick
I will say yes, it is profitable to do this. But dude you have to think of the people who need these things for cheap and you're taking them away, or some people who just don't want to spend hundreds for things like that Panasonic sound system. Come on man
Nobody "needs" any of the stuff he picked up. And why do you think someone who doesn't want to pay hundreds is more entitled to it than somebody who is willing to pay hundreds for it?
I mean most of this stuff isnt really needed in your life. I think things that you absolutely need like shoes should be cheaper and should be sold at these thrift stores. But something like a car radio? Squishmallow? You dont need that stuff so why would you have to pay only a small amount of the money everyone else does. Also many people resell as a side hustle to basically make money on stuff like rare mugs. I saw a guy find a mug that sells for 200$ selling for 16$. That might sound like the poor people are entitled to be the only ones to be able to buy it but no poor person would buy a mug for 16$ unless they are a collector or a reseller.
This is just INFLATED worth jacked up by one person causing everyone else to also jack it up, that crock pot ain't worth shit and no one is buying a gen 1 hoverboard.
I swear to God my thrift stores don't have s***, everything I look up is selling for almost the exact same price as eBay. I think my city has a lot of hoarder, picker, preper type people but the thrift stores are hardly worth it.
Ik especially since everything is sold online now and they got rid of all the expensive items in store
atleast your thrift stores have anything.. the goodwill near me literally only has clothing, barely any kitchen and furniture
How do u find the exact product name on eBay?
It’s because so many people were buying clothes just to resell so the thrift shops figured might as well charge the higher price if it’s not actually gonna go to someone that needs it.
I work at humane society thrift store.. You all would love my store....
Listed prices by random ebay sellers don’t mean the item will actually sell for that much unfortunately. Woul love to see a follow up video where you actually sell some of it and show us how much the items were ultimately sold for. Otherwise these videos mean nothing really
Those were sold listings. Not just a listing but they were sold. Why would he waste his time on things that people don't want

Also I think half of those listed prices were or best offer
You would just come up with a new excuse if he put out a follow-up video.
I say this everytime, I do this as a side hustle and you actually have to find a buyer for these items. Just because they sell doesn't mean they sell often enough to hold them for months upon months
There’s no problem if you have storage space
@@flyingchimp12Except it is a problem if people are viewing this as a consistent way to make stable income
definitely have seen this with old warhammer models.
it can be 40 years old, unopened and still in its plastic wrap. but no one is gonna buy it for 200 bucks.
that wont prevent the listers tho.
All good ideas, but that's if everything you bought works. And if you can even find a buyer for the item... if it works
Precisely. You can get a lot of net work buying stuff off of goodwill, but it doesn’t matter if no one’s going to buy it. Who goes on eBay to buy a used mug?

I did pick up a skateboard today, which is pretty cool, only 5 bucks too
I’d kill for that Panasonic vinyl system
It'd be very weird if one-day I randomly find a Panasonic gamecube I would totally freak out if I did and was a reasonable price.
The Y cup is a hard sell. Cups/mugs are about $6.00 to ship.
That shit in his garage to this day
WAIT A MINUTE that turntable panasonic casseste player thing looks like my grandmas….
FYI expect ebay to have like 30% higher than what most people pay. If it sells for 130 you will likely only be doing 100
FYI these items will rarely sell online for full price after being used. The listings he showed were all probably old. The real money is in antiques.
the listings that are shown in green are sold for the price shown and most had sale dates of Nov. 2022 on them and being this video is over a year old it was pretty close to being current at that time.
My dad once bought some yeezes from Goodwill at $20, and they sold for about $300, and now there, my dad's main shoe
This is the real life equivalent of bazaar flipping in hypixel skyblock
A tape deck and a reciever are 2 different things
I bought a few consoles from goodwill, one being a ps1 in its original box, all cords included, plus doom
nice find

The 19$ hoverboard is like: there's this used GTX 1050 at 100$ and someone sell a 4090 at 2000$, so i sell the 1050 for the same price...
bro i think i saw a gamecube at the start
Damn, people resell shoes at goodwill but if I find heat I wear em
Lmk if you guys want some origami videos 😂
Sure!
Hey you should pin your own comment so it shows on top of the video. Unless you wanted this comment to be like a easter egg😂
We had at home one of those Panasonic Stereo, i used to have alot of fun just clicking the buttons. But we never used it and now idk where it went
That Panasonic hi-fi system is a piece of crap. I have no idea how someone sold it for that much but I'd like to see if you can sell it for that.
My grandma used to have the EXACT same Panasonic record player
Unfortunately the goodwill near me is pretty shitty. Remeber seeing a chair that's $99 at Walmart for $90 at goodwill
Omg i have those Oreo milkshake cups that’s cool man
As someone who resells, this whole video is massive 🧢
Yeah probably. But its still better than those people who try side hustles and make 6k per week according to their caculations
What about the video. He shows the sticker price, states the sticker price, and shows a SOLD LISTING. So what about is cap 😂
Is that a jojo reference?
*Giorno's Theme starts playing*
Since it was a good will they do 50% of every first Saturday of the month, atleast the ones in my city do
Also mention how much Time it takes to sell these products because time is money 💰 and the without selling the profit is hypothetical...
Time is going to pass either way. It's not like you will be magically gifted more time if you don't buy these things and list them lol.
THOSE SRE NUKE DUNKS! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH MORE
