    You are the FIRST reseller that actually gives good sound advise. I have yet to get to the bins but do love a good thrift haul. My best to date: a $26 small lot of jewelry from shopgoodwill and I opened it to find a partial gold designer bracelet sold on QVC for over $500. Another box of mixed jewelry I had tossed pieces I was selling for craft aside and decided to take one more look and found this cross on a cord. Upon further inspection with my loop this cross was from the 60’s done by a former actor that kind of lost his ability to function in our world, he relocated to I believe Belize and designed jewelry for a short time. I sold it for $1200 within 24 hours on eBay. Doesn’t happen all the time but once and a while you will find a BIG FLIP. I plan to visit the our Ocala pay by pound after watching you. Thanks again.

    I just started going to our local bins. I must have beginners luck! I have found a 14k bracelet, vintage silver charm bracelet, pearl necklace, silver and amethyst necklace, 2 silver eagle dollars! And on my very first trip I got there right before they closed and got a civil war fork and knife! Just updated a short go have a look!

    I just started trying to up my reseller game. My sister-in-law is fearless, but accidentally walked into the bins (an hour away from our town) thinking it was a retail location and she and her big teen son were like, "let's leave before we get cut!" She scared me off of the bins. This really helped me to put eyes on the situation from the safety of my home. Alleviated a lot of fears. I will probably give it a go when the weather gets better for traveling. Thank you for posting footage of the bins and cutting through the hype!

      Our whole mission was to try and show people it’s doable, they will survive and it’s worth it! If my wife can get in there with our daughter strapped to her in the backpack carrier anyone can. Just be observant of your surroundings. If you walk in and you notice a lot of loud, pushy people. Stick to the rows that have already been “picked” you’ll still find good stuff! We almost never go get in new rows when they come out! Keep going back and you’ll start to learn who the “problem” people are and just avoid them. Anyway thank you and glad it helped! Now go get that profit!

      @@FlipTheWorldtx I saw another video where a gal suggested digging all the way to the bottom because some people don't go deep and she finds actual cash money there sometimes. I saw some lady in your video that was just hanging back watching people swarm the new bins and she wasn't getting a thing done. I loved your strategy. I do want clothing though...but I can work up to it.

    i love the bins , i just started to go once a week and i always find something special for myself, and at least one or two vintage clothing items too. The thing about the bins though is that I get shoved out of the way because Im so small. People will wait for the new bins and shove me out of the way before I can even get close enough. Some people will even dare to shove my cart away when its already pushed off to the side! But I still go anyways, because its fun! I enjoy the hunt!

    I went to my first bins trip this week in Houston. as an older lady I was very hesitant to get in there, my 25 yr old son went with me.
    I had already made up my mind, that like you stated in the video, I was not going to get into the melee part. so we just pretty much went on the opposite end of wherever the most people were. and like you stated we still found good stuff and we didn't have to get in there and fight people to do so.

This time gonns hit the shoes first and hard goods and keep clothing last. One thing I do recommend when going and especially if your gojng for clothes is wear some gloves!!! Nothing to make ya nauseous and want to leave like grabbing some clothing and have a pair of dirty panties in your hand. Good luck and happy hunting y'all. Thanks for the help FTW 🙏🏼

    Don't pass on the clothes, there are so many, people can't search them all. My best bin finds are all vintage Tees and hoodies, and all of them were picked over. People are looking for material and style so they can check it all. Most people don't inspect ugly tees. Not very many are reading tags. I see the same people in Everytime, they are so confident in what they know they never double check anything. They spend most the time sitting around waiting for new bins that they toss over for 30 seconds each. I know a bunch of stuff too, but I'm still checking comps on half the stuff I end up buying. I passed up a bright orange sweater 2 times and decided to look a 3rd time before I found the 60 dollar sweater, and that bin hadn't been rotated in hours.

    Not sure what your prices per LB is in your area but I would cry if I walked into my bins and it looked that scariest on product! The clothing vs hardgoods in my area are 2 separate rooms, the clothing is piled up about 3 feet above on each bin, the hard goods are not sorted rely that well but I prefer that. DVD's if hard good is the same price in your area as mine comes out to like 10-15 cents each.

    Do you know where the bins gets their clothes from? What I mostly see people saying online is that it's the last stop after the GW retail stores. But, doesn't seem that way for a lot of the stuff I've seen there. Only been a couple times tho.
