I have been reselling (clothes) on ebay as my main income since 2001. And I gotta say- you are very talented at this, you have the talent to be able to find and realize that something has that ‘it’ factor. A lot of resellers are not as savvy. I am ok at it, but you are a natural! Lots of home run finds, yay!
Hey, I just love your videos because you're not repetitive like some people are in their RUclips's. I hate hearing the same spiel over and over again but you keep it fresh light and positive and that's fun. I also don't like the RUclipsrs who just use it as a complaining platform the entire time about how horrible everything is. Also, I learn a lot from you because a lot of the brands you mention I had not heard of so that's good.
My jaw has dropped twice at your videos…. Vintage No Boundaries/walmart and lower east side/payless being good flips?! I would’ve never guessed! I am shook! Super great haul!
I cannot believe how much many of the Vintage Dresses sell for! You by far do an amazing job with your videos. I love that you take the time when showing these brands and explain and are not boring when you do so. Some also rush through on their videos and I at times have to stop because I feel like I have vertigo... I did not realize that I could take a pic and then use Google Lens!!! I am going to do this from here on out. I have never heard any other reseller say to use it this way.... Thank you!!!
Picking up vintage items has been a new thing for me and I'm really enjoying it! They've been selling really well too and it feels more exciting when an item sells that I picked up just based on style. Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you're enjoying the videos that means a lot to me! So happy I could help!! 🤗🥰
I love these videos! You have such a positive and uplifting personality that shines through when you present things on camera. The finds at the thrift store you went to were so amazing! The Missoni one was my favorite!!!!
@@ThriftandThriveMarita You are so sweet! I like that you talk fast and stay on the point! I wear XL and I shop in thrift stores for my clothes. Yes, it can be hard to find nice plus size womens clothes, but I always find something nice and get compliments on some of my outfits!
Love your videos. You are so detailed and show all aspects of your shops, shipping, etc. Love that Adrianna Papell dress!! I'm going to look at the listing now. That would be great to wear to my first Grandbaby's Baby Shower! 👶
Such a great video as always! I picked up a size O (24) 7FAM Dojo jeans for $2!!! I listed them for $59 and they sold for full price within 10 min of listing! That was the fastest sale I’ve ever had.
Hi Marita, I was watching ur video 17 hours later and was excited to see the Dress the Population Sequin cap sleeve black dress for a wedding coming up. So lucky it wasn't yet sold!!! Thank you for always suggesting key words - very very very helpful. Keep up the great videos!
I'm really happy that it's coming across that way! I've definitely noticed that I'm feeling more relaxed when it's time to film. So glad you found the keywords helpful. Thank you for watching. 🥰❤️
What are the odds that I JUST sold a Wanakome hoodie and had never heard of the brand until I looked it up in the store, it ended up selling for $50 in 2 weeks
Great video ❤ I just found a dress the population dress for $5 bucks sold it on a offer of $59 !! Didn’t know of the brand until looking it up! Love watching these and hearing of the brands to look out for !!
I had that same Veronica Beard top (just in a different color) and originally listed it for $90 and it sold for $71! So maybe look into listing a little higher? Great haul🤩
I have bought out of Good Will & Salvation Army too and saved a ton..............this was years ago and also sold some on EBAY too!! Great way to have nicer things !!😁
Wow what kind of Thrift store is that? It looks like only wealthy people donate there. The ones I go to have mostly average to cheap brand clothing and cost so much more than the prices at the one you're at.
This was definitely a good day at this store! I typically don't find brands/items like this all the time. Hope you have some good luck when you go shopping next! ❤️🤞🥰
I love your videos. I learn so much; I wish you could do more than one a week. You get to the point without lots of added commentary. Thanks for your time and effort in creating these great videos.I found some great purses from the 60s this weekend. They were a great score.
I would love to get to the point where I could do more videos each week! Thank you so much! The videos take a good amount of time to make so I'm so happy you're enjoying them.😊🥰 That's so awesome! Good for you! I'm excited to hear how they sell for you. 🤗❤️
I bought a vintage long black halter beaded formal gown by After Dark. Size 12. I listed for $85 and have no likes. Is this too high? Re-list for $65? I thought of you when I saw it from your videos. It’s SO pretty!
I typically price vintage silk beaded gowns around $60-$70. When it comes to formal event gowns those can sit for a little bit while waiting for the right buyer to come along. Since they're normally purchased for limited events like dances, pageants or black tie formals. Hope you're having amazing sales! ❤️🥰
I love that you throw in the little oddities: "...definitely a really great brand's man to know" -- haha -- and using your phone to pronounce Anokhi... makes you so relatable! Also so happy to see a video from you! ♥♥
That's been a highly requested video so I do plan on doing one very soon! My kiddos are out for spring break next week so I plan on filming one the following week when my house is quiet. 🥰❤️
Thank you for watching! I LOVE dresses and during spring and summer they're the items that I sell for the highest ROI. Hope you find tons of beautiful dresses! 🤞🥰
I really like picking up Coldwater Creek especially in plus sizes. They recently acquired Soft Surroundings which is one of my favorite brands to sell.
I love your videos. You certainly have the “eye”. Can you tell me how you package your items for inventory? It almost looks like you shrink wrap them. Also do you then ship them as is in the package?
Thank you! So happy you're enjoying them! I just try and neatly fold them then push out the air when I seal the bags. I do ship them out in the bags, I feel like they give another layer of protection while they're on their way to the buyer. I'm going to make a video soon of all my processes soon. 🥰❤️
Hi Marita love to watch your videos of what sold. I’m not a reseller just like to pick up thrift pieces for myself or recently for my dear mom. Which I purchased the Anthropologie long pink flowered skirt you had found at Goodwill. Can you do a video on how you organize and sort your items in the boxes. Like what’s your process once you find an item and you’re ready to log, package it in plastic bag and store it in your boxes? Thank you 😊 Dulce
Hey Dulce! Thank you so much for watching and your purchases! You're the best. I will definitely be making a video on my processes soon! I was thinking about doing a whole work week flow. ❤️🥰🫶
Great vid and haul !! I need to start selling on eBay too🎉 the hunt is real out there. I found an Ann Taylor tweed blazer the other day at Goodwill for 4.50 😊 I love those random good finds that are just for you in that moment in time right ! 😮😅🎉❤makes it fun and worth it ! Have a great new week 🎉
I have an android phone so I'm able to just take a picture of my item and Google lens then and that typically brings up stock photos for me. Thank you for watching! ❤️😊
Wow, what a great haul and what great sales!! Good for you! I find it so helpful the way you include keywords that you use with your listings. I’m not familiar with the “old money” term though. What does that refer to? Thanks so much for all your info! Love your content!😊😊😊
Thank you! I hope you're having good luck out there finding treasures too! Good to know you're enjoying the keywords and find them helpful I'll make sure to continue adding them in. So old money aesthetic got popular from Tik Tok and the style looks like a mixture between quite luxury, preppy and academic. Hope that helps! ❤️😊
Ralph Lauren invented the modern American “old money” aka generational family wealth mode of dress where you wear understated but quality and stylish clothing that communicates wealth
I thrift only for myself, it takes a completely different skill set to pick pieces for sale online and list them accordingly. I admire what you honed your skills to do. P.S. Ralph Lauren is just pronounced like the women’s name Lauren, not Lo-Ren. Ralph Lauren. Lauren Ralph Lauren is pronounced the same way both times.
Hey! Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them. Yes, I definitely sell more on Poshmark but I actually cross list everything that I find on both eBay and Poshmark. I've sold some things on eBay that I thought would have done better on Poshmark and vice versa so I just like to make sure that my items are getting as many eyes on them as possible.😊❤️
How many times do you examine an item at GW and think it’s in great condition but get home and discover a flaw? It happens to me. I look and look at a garment thinking it’s in great used condition only to find a small hole or tiny stain that won’t come out🙃😏😒
Too many times! I'll look and look and see nothing, but the second I get the item in front of my lights to take pictures the flaws blatantly obvious! You're not alone. 😂
Thank you for your content . I have a question , how do you remove sharpie from the bottom of leather soles? I can usually get it off rubber or synthetic but this particular pair my usual tricks don’t seem to work .Any ideas ? Ty in advance Nancy b
Hey Nancy. I personally don't remove the marker from the bottom of the shoes. I don't think people mind that much. When I used to take them off though rubbing alcohol or a magic eraser did the trick. Hope that helps. ❤️
First based on the style and then I confirm it with the brand label along with the material tag. I'll need to do a video on this soon, it's been a big question that I've gotten on here. ❤️
Always great finds! Do you list it and leave it or do you end/sell similar and adjust your price, etc if something is sitting? Also, what are your returns like? I’ll go months without any returns and then bam like a bunch in a row. Frustrating. Almost always for fit. I sell part time as I have young kids at home. How do you balance it all? I feel like if I could thrift and list all day everyday I’d be making a ton but when you’ve got kids it’s so hard.
Hey! Thank you! Once something has been stale for a while I put it on sale or I'll relist it for the same price if it's something I know should go for the original listing price. As for returns I'm right there with you! I'll go so long without any returns and then all in one day I'll have 4-5! Lol! I still struggle to balance kiddos and work, but what has helped me is waking up early. During the morning when everyone is asleep I get my shipping prepped and my 10 listings done for the day. That way if I'm not able to do anymore work the rest of the day I know at least I got the two most important tasks out of the way. Hope that helps a little. 🫶❤️
I really don't see how you could have found that many high end items at Goodwill, who has their own website. They would never put those out on the floor at such a low price.
I've been getting lucky. They have hundreds of items donated daily, lots make it on the floor. I think they also prefer to move items fast vs sitting on items to sell online. ❤️
Hi Started watching your channel. Nice cool hauls. Thank god your channel has a clean and neat space. I was a keen viewer on Thrift ….,,,,,, but her background was just too cluttered and after touching shoes she would touch her hair like ( so many times throughout the video) in addition was and discriminating only answered selected viewers. The worse was she kept wanting her viewers to increase so that it’s beneficial to her in addition will only show the haul. Wont share where she got it! . Stay cool And humble… your channel Is so honest and refreshingly.😮
Malaysia that's awesome! I hope I can visit there one day. I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Oh no, I haven't seen that channel before I'll have to look it up.❤️
Hey, I'm sorry I missed your message on Poshmark. I'm assuming it's the return for the dress because of fit? Do you have a PayPal account or venmo account? Because what I'm thinking is that you can ship it back to my address and then I'll refund you the purchase price via venmo or PayPal. Would that work for you?
@@ThriftandThriveMarita yes! I'm going to message you on there now (sorry I didn't have notifications on) for your address. I think I threw the bag away. Thank you you are the best.
I do if I think they need it, like if they're stained or have an odor. For the majority of the items I steam treat them which disinfects/sanitizes them. 😊
I hear you mention something about sells rate, i cant quite hear exactly what your saying. Something to do with how well an item sells. Can you explain how you figure this out?
Hey! So the sell through rate is based on how many active listings there are of your items vs how many sold listings there are. So a 100% sell through rate means that there are equal amounts of active listings as there are sold listings. Over 100% sell through rate means there are more sold listings than active listings. Hope that helps. ❤️
Of course! I check on eBay. When you search your item there is a number on the right hand side they show the number of how many active listings there are and then when you click on the sold filter it will show you the number of sold listings for that item. 😊
I just snap a quick picture of the item while I'm at the store and then when you look at the photo there should be a lens icon on the bottom next to your edit, share or delete section, just click on that and it should show you results for your photo. Hope that helps. ❤️
I offer returns on eBay because people are going to get a return on their regardless if you offer them or not. That's just how eBay works. I just have mine set up so if it's returned based on fit or because they just didn't like it the buyer does have to pay for the return label. ❤️ Hope that helps.
I just found your channel and I love watching you reveal your treasures… I am curious how you file your inventory with the letter and a number in prepackaged bags that’s classic… how do you know where to find that number of bag? Is it somewhere in your listing? Thank you for sharing with all of us. 🫶🏼
I have been reselling (clothes) on ebay as my main income since 2001.

Thank you so much! What a great compliment! 🤗🥰
Where do you go to find high end clothes? Is it safe to say you need to go into high end neighborhoods?
She is also very beautiful, it's like watching snow white! Yet humble, modest, and genuine. Very refreshing!
Thank you so much! You're so sweet. ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita 😁 just honest. And the majority of young ladies today, have those ridiculous fake eyelashes and are over done.
Where is that goodwill? Just❤GW but i never see one like that so clean and the items looks like new

Super great haul!
That's why I'm living picking up vintage. Thank you! I hope you're having good luck out there too! 🥰❤️
I miss Payless. Most shoes were cheap garbage but every so often you’d get a nice style
I love your enthusiasm about your thrifting, and you find some really nice things. I love everything about your channel.
Thank you so much! I'm really blessed that I get to do something that I love. I hope you had a great weekend. ❤️

Great finds and good prices, but there are alot of plus size ladies who would wear anything from XL-3X. Those sizes would sell.
Thank you!! I look in those sizes but rarely find good items. I'll have to look harder! ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita You are so sweet! I like that you talk fast and stay on the point! I wear XL and I shop in thrift stores for my clothes. Yes, it can be hard to find nice plus size womens clothes, but I always find something nice and get compliments on some of my outfits!
I couldn't believe you found TWO Lake dresses!! My best find this week was NWT Barefoot dreams joggers!
Me too! It was my first time ever finding Lake and I was really excited! Oh my gosh that's a great find! Good for you! ❤️🤗
Your smile and positive attitude make me like your channel even more! 😊

Thank you for your content . I have a question , how do you remove sharpie from the bottom of leather soles? I can usually get it off rubber or synthetic but this particular pair my usual tricks don’t seem to work .Any ideas ? Ty in advance Nancy b
Hey Nancy. I personally don't remove the marker from the bottom of the shoes. I don't think people mind that much. When I used to take them off though rubbing alcohol or a magic eraser did the trick. Hope that helps. ❤️
Great sales. Love the content
Thank you! I hope you're having great sales too! ❤️
How do you tell what’s a vintage brand or dress?
First based on the style and then I confirm it with the brand label along with the material tag. I'll need to do a video on this soon, it's been a big question that I've gotten on here. ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita yes, please do a video! 😁
now on the look for Caterpillar
You and me both! ❤️
Always great finds! Do you list it and leave it or do you end/sell similar and adjust your price, etc if something is sitting? Also, what are your returns like? I’ll go months without any returns and then bam like a bunch in a row. Frustrating. Almost always for fit. I sell part time as I have young kids at home. How do you balance it all? I feel like if I could thrift and list all day everyday I’d be making a ton but when you’ve got kids it’s so hard.
Hey! Thank you! Once something has been stale for a while I put it on sale or I'll relist it for the same price if it's something I know should go for the original listing price. As for returns I'm right there with you! I'll go so long without any returns and then all in one day I'll have 4-5! Lol!
I still struggle to balance kiddos and work, but what has helped me is waking up early. During the morning when everyone is asleep I get my shipping prepped and my 10 listings done for the day. That way if I'm not able to do anymore work the rest of the day I know at least I got the two most important tasks out of the way. Hope that helps a little. 🫶❤️
I really don't see how you could have found that many high end items at Goodwill, who has their own website. They would never put those out on the floor at such a low price.
I've been getting lucky. They have hundreds of items donated daily, lots make it on the floor. I think they also prefer to move items fast vs sitting on items to sell online. ❤️
It’s so funny because the Missoni pc is so ugly lol amazing haul
Haha probably not something I would wear but I'm sure someone could make it look good. Thank you! 🫶😊
Hi Started watching your channel. Nice cool hauls. Thank god your channel has a clean and neat space.
I was a keen viewer on Thrift ….,,,,,, but her background was just too cluttered and after touching shoes she would touch her hair like ( so many times throughout the video) in addition was and discriminating only answered selected viewers. The worse was she kept wanting her viewers to increase so that it’s beneficial to her in addition will only show the haul.
Wont share where she got it! . Stay cool
And humble… your channel
Is so honest and refreshingly.😮
Malaysia that's awesome! I hope I can visit there one day. I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Oh no, I haven't seen that channel before I'll have to look it up.❤️
Hi! Sorry to bug on here but I sent you a few messages about returning a posh item. Appreciate you!!
Hey, I'm sorry I missed your message on Poshmark. I'm assuming it's the return for the dress because of fit? Do you have a PayPal account or venmo account? Because what I'm thinking is that you can ship it back to my address and then I'll refund you the purchase price via venmo or PayPal. Would that work for you?
@@ThriftandThriveMarita yes! I'm going to message you on there now (sorry I didn't have notifications on) for your address. I think I threw the bag away. Thank you you are the best.
Good video, great tips, BUT you PAID $40.00 for a Missoni Poncho, please make the correction, PAYED is wrong
Thank you. I didn't notice that mistake until I already uploaded it and I'm not able to change it now. Oh well. Lol 🤦♀️
I just have to stop trying to find things for myself😅
Haha I love finding thrifted items for myself too.
Marita, I looked, but mine doesn't have a lens icon anywhere on the picture. Maybe bc I have an Android? Idk. Oh well. Thx anyway.
Oh no. I use an android too. On my next video I will make a point to do a screen recording of me using Google lens to hopefully help more. ❤️
Where are you finding all these great finds with tags?
I definitely got lucky this day at Goodwill. ❤️
Very informative
Thank you! Glad you found this helpful. ❤️
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
How do you know it’s a desired find?
Typically by the style,brand and quality of the item. 😊
Hw long does it take you in one store? Do you visit multiple stores a week?
I'm in one store for around 4-5 hours. I'll typically go to 2-3 stores a week. ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita thank you 😊
Where do you look up the items? Do you do that at the store?
Yes, I look them up in the store. 😊
@@ThriftandThriveMarita ok, how?
@@ThriftandThriveMarita ok, how?
Show your sales reciepts
I show the price tags of all my pick ups.
Hello, do you wash clothes before selling it?
I do if I think they need it, like if they're stained or have an odor. For the majority of the items I steam treat them which disinfects/sanitizes them. 😊
I hear you mention something about sells rate, i cant quite hear exactly what your saying. Something to do with how well an item sells. Can you explain how you figure this out?
Hey! So the sell through rate is based on how many active listings there are of your items vs how many sold listings there are. So a 100% sell through rate means that there are equal amounts of active listings as there are sold listings. Over 100% sell through rate means there are more sold listings than active listings. Hope that helps. ❤️
ty that makes sense. Where do you find these results sold listings vs active listings?
@@ThriftandThriveMarita
Of course! I check on eBay. When you search your item there is a number on the right hand side they show the number of how many active listings there are and then when you click on the sold filter it will show you the number of sold listings for that item. 😊
perfect ty
@@ThriftandThriveMarita
How do you "take a picture" and Google lens it?
I just snap a quick picture of the item while I'm at the store and then when you look at the photo there should be a lens icon on the bottom next to your edit, share or delete section, just click on that and it should show you results for your photo. Hope that helps. ❤️
That would be wonderful! Thx!
What do you suggest for ebay return or no return policy for new resellers?
I offer returns on eBay because people are going to get a return on their regardless if you offer them or not. That's just how eBay works. I just have mine set up so if it's returned based on fit or because they just didn't like it the buyer does have to pay for the return label. ❤️ Hope that helps.
@@ThriftandThriveMarita thank you!
Of course! Good luck on your reselling journey! If you have any more questions down the road feel free to ask. ❤️

Where is your goodwill
I go to a few around my town. I'm from Washington. ❤️
I just found your channel and I love watching you reveal your treasures… I am curious how you file your inventory with the letter and a number in prepackaged bags that’s classic… how do you know where to find that number of bag? Is it somewhere in your listing? Thank you for sharing with all of us. 🫶🏼
Hey! So glad you're enjoying the videos so far! I'm going to do a whole video soon on my inventory process. ❤️
