I bought a duffel bag for $10 and packed it for a trip the next day I noticed a small zipper it was a pocket for a wallet/passport and when I opened it there was a envelope inside that had 33grams of 14kt gold charm bracelet it was such a blessing
Should of turned it in to goodwill :(
Seriously?? Return it so they can sell it? Get real. It's not like goodwill was the owner lol it was donated to them. There is no way to get that back to the original owner.
@@BerkshiregypsyI agree on that one. Cause it would be cool if they knew the donator. But really nahhh it’s yours, and yeah they would have just sold it. You got a bonus. Don’t listen to negative.
Goodwill has gotten stupid with their prices.
It’s always been like that forever here in Hawaii. Like used stuff for retail prices at times! And selling boutique! Rip off. They are getting these things for free.
Because they know that you re-sellers are buying their stuff, du?
@@hermanmunster714 They are supposed to be catering to the poor, not getting in on the game. They are a charity.
Yes, they have! I see people say I bought this for $1 and I say, not at my GW! Nothing is a $1!
They've caught on to the fact that there are people using them as a wholesaler for their ebay accounts.
Good Will is NOT a charity. It's a private for profit company.
Yes the owner lives in Isleworth? Near Windermere, Florida. He is a billionaire.
Been in the same family for 3 generations!
Really??? I had no idea!!
My Goodwill has gone crazy with there high prices.
Here too, they will put high prices on broken, chipped and dirty items. Will price clothing higher than I can find at Ross, Marshall’s or TJ Max.
Thank you Margaret for another great video. :) I have been selling very on and off for the last 20 or so years on eBay. I started out selling collectibles that I purchased wholesale. Back then the market was saturated. I did sell some but my sales were low dollar. A few years later I tried selling clothing. It was fun shopping for nice things. However, it was a lot of work laundering the clothing, steaming, photographing, listing, etc. I did not really enjoy selling clothing. I have sold jewelry from my personal collection. Then about 1 year ago I found your channel. That is when I started thrifting and reselling all kinds of jewelry. I just recently started trying to dip into thrifting other items. Because I am just getting my feet wet I am pretty slow. As with most things that I think might sell I have to look them up. Back in April of this year, I was looking at a signed Easter decoration. I picked it up and placed it back on the shelf. I was standing in front of it at my face height. A guy walked up and grabbed it from right in front of my face. He was talking about "here is $40.00 right here". At the time I was a bit miffed. But I learned a big lesson that day, always use a cart. I let it go, he probably needed that Easter decor more than I. 😊
Ebay sure has changed hasn't it? Not for the good, either ...
They definitely need a good competitor.I would jump on a good one.
Where do you look up items for approximate values? Is there an app for that?
I had an uncle that absolutely refused to get reading glasses lol. Instead he would carry this little travel sized magnifying glass in his front shirt pocket when he encountered something too small too read.
What things need to be Authenticated? My sister-in-law was telling my husband that Ebay is getting hard to sell on because you have to have some things Authenticated.
Our Goodwill charges an arm for everything. I found a lot 6:13 of stuff from Walmart and they were charging g more than walmart
I was thinking of you earlier today when I was picking out some jewelry to.list and smiling about how happy you sound. It made this video extra good. Thank you.
Goodwill in Australia is more expensive than new retail items. I don’t know how they stay in business.
11:35 That round drip glazed vase with the small opening is beautiful. I'd def have grabbed that if the price is right. Even if it's recent and mass produced, it's a nice home décor item.
Oh my gosh, The snowman candle set, my mother had for my entire childhood! What a blast from the past! 😍🥰
So cool!
I worry about ending up keeping a bunch of the "finds" I buy!😂
I know the feeling....
Yeah when I was really into reselling my house looked like a storage unit. I quit for a while, got rid of everything and am now back at it. Mainly because thrifting is my favorite thing to do!
Majority is junk...
I love watching your videos because you pick up things that intimidate me! Lol My comfort zone is every day value clothing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I’m new to eBay, I’ve been on posh for 2.5 years just selling clothes and I’m ready to get into hard goods and your a wealth of knowledge and greatly appreciated. Keep up the hard work and the awesome vids 💕💕💕
Glad it was helpful!
This has been eye opening to that things being sold on eBay are likely just from Goodwill!
OOOHHHHHH. I hate when thrift stores write on the items, Goodwill will ruin a item by writing on the outside of purses , shoes, and dolls.
Me too especially on the bottom of shoes
Oh yeah! And when they tape the lid on a porcelain bowl so when you remove it, it pulls off the gold leaf. OMG!
To clean without leaving mark, use a white eraser!
It really should be illegal to damage donated goods intentionally.
Use magic eraser a lot of the markings come out
Get you a blacklight flashlight and carry it with you when checking dishes or any type of glass ware, if it glows its uranium glass and it does sell and another thing i have found out that sells is fishing reels just the reels is what has made me money.
Get into clothes and shoes... when I started I avoided them. Now they take up 80% of my store, and I sell about 75% clothes and shoes now.
GREAT JOB ON YOUR VIDEOS I LOVE WATCHING THEM
Interesting about being suspended. I had no idea. Funny thing - the very first item I listed on EBay were a pair of beautiful Versace sandals. I believe I did net $400. Glad I was not suspended on my first sale. Since then I sold multiple high end designer items and never had an issue. They were all authentic but never bothered to authenticate them, they simply got sold.
I had great thrifting in Tucson. Elders move there from all locales.
Thx for the info. Designer items are not always real so glad its not my field.
True
LOL The foil pictures were big in the UK in the late 70s. I remember door to door salesmen selling them and my mum and dad buying one.
Once uploaded an authentic trunk show rare kate spade bag and was suspended because it was so rare and unseen they said it was fake. 😔
Around 13:10 on the shelf (far right of screen) is a glass Christmas tree container. I've noticed they fetch some $$ at different times.
I appreciate the information you give. The way you show use what to look for is specially informative. After watching you I always feel more prepared for the next thrift store. Thanks
The oriental dish with the three holes is meant to put something in the holes and hang on the wall. My great grandma had plates made like this.
I'm from CT and we had a Red, White and Blue. My favorite..last time I was home I got a Lefton Holly punch bowl, cups, teapot, creamer and sugar. All for $15!already have a profit with the teas set. I'm in Florida now, closest one is 2.5 hours away😩
I'm from Western Mass and my best day was my trip to Red, White, and Blue.
I made a thrifting attempt yesterday and the Karm thrift stores in Tennessee are also charging high for stuff. We're talking 7.99 for a mass produced glass vase that lists for $10-15 on Etsy type pricing. It's insane. Surely they don't think the collectors who buy online are going to travel the country to find what they are looking for at these thrift stores?! I could only get three items that might be worth the risk. I don't have capital yet. My BF helped me out.
(I'm out of work right now due to chronic illness making me unreliable in normal work. Going to try to make money off of multiple side hustles but it's taking me time to get set up.)
I applaud your persistence and May god bless you with much abundance today & always.
Karm is very high, but they are a ministry housing and feeding people. I’m disappointed in their Christmas store. No discounts after the holiday.
@@dittohead7044 I know, but given that what they are selling is stuff they got for free or purchased cheap in bulk thrift distribution lots, it's bad business, as it slows sales to a crawl. If people are seeing the same stuff every week and not finding any real bargains, they'll stop going as often.
I noticed the same thing here at the Goodwill in my town (Kingman Arizona). But while in Oceanside California the thrift store there had good stuff at very inexpensive prices.
Thanks for the great info
Happy thrifting
😊
I want to start thrifting and reselling. Great info!!
Christmas tree plate on the bottom was Salem Christmas eve pattern by Viktor Schreckengost . I have a set of them. They are vintage 1950s but they did do a re-release in the 80s, i think.
I never shop at goodwill nor do I donate to them
I would kiss you if I could
I can hear you just fine Margaret.Those iridescent pictures are very cool never seen anything like those before.
That turkey platter with a crack for 24..crazy
Thanks Margaret, very informative walk-through.
i am new here but wondering if you have ever filmed how you organize and store your inventory? so far i love your feed
Hello first time seeing your channel. The foil art must be a hard sell if not seeing them in person. The Christmas tree plates will always have a Santa as a tree top if it's Spode. And you are right, there are so many fakes when it comes to branded purses. Good Luck!
I wasn't in awe about the prices but some of the shipping prices are out rageous
😂 I can’t sell anymore I always end up keeping most of the items
You should have grabbed that Hummel! That particular one is a hot item right now.
The last time I sold on EBay they held the customer’s money for 21 days after they paid. Then they told me it was because I hadn’t sold for a while. What kind of a reason was that?
They did that to me to once,
@@Anna-sp9md The nurse flipper told me they do it to new people, I assume one time. They must also do it to us if we stop selling for a while and then start up again, I think.
They held my money when I first started selling just this year(2024). Only several items . When they realize you shipped & have a few buck in your account to cover any losses they stopped holding until buyer received package. That’s just my experience.
Yes, prices have gotten crazy
I was born and raised in NOLS and I love that Goodwill you are in. I would buy a lot for Mardi Gras in a Carvial Club I was in. Now live in Mass. WOW the Prices when up much more than it was before 2019 when I moved from NOLA
New Sub just now! I had no clue you had channels up and going!! I remember your pretty face from watching one of Juans' videos a few days ago when he had just gotten the storage unit! Small world! Nice to have found your channel! Take care! Peace to all...💜🦋💜
I sold the owl foil picture that you showed. I accepted an offer as it had been sitting out there on sale for ever. I won't pick them up again..
I did eBay for 10 years, me and my mom would go to Goodwill auctions were they auction big boxes of miscellaneous items. We never left without at least one or two good items sometimes still in the box. I even started ordering items wholesale from China I would always put of course that items weren't original. I understand now that it's not a good idea because China can use toxic materials to make knock-off goods. So I stopped doing that. I also stopped going to Goodwill auctions because the prices were so ridiculously high for one box. Goodwill also started their own online auction site so you're not going to find good things in the store or in the auction boxes anymore plus you count gas, shipping materials, shipping prices for some people, it's not worth it anymore. But I'm extremely grateful for the skills eBay has taught me. We were able to pay off her house just from selling off of eBay
That’s fantastic!!
Yeah Goodwill is a bust in my area. They keep anything of value for their online stores. But most senior citizens centers have thrift stores and I've done well there!
Boo Goodwill!! Charity my butt. But this video is JAMMED with awesome content and tips and tricks I didn’t know as a new reseller. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I would never buy a craved platter. Because of it’s size and weight it could easily finish breaking in a hurry. If you were to put a turkey on it while it’s hot, it could pop it into. Plus you could get bacteria in the crack and getting sick from it. Lots of reasons to leave cracked utility pieces alone.
This is really helpful, I am a new subscriber ❤️ I stay away from chipped and cracked dishes.
Glad it was helpful!
I love watching you You get so excited when you find kool stuff and I learn so much from you thanks for sharing your fun and sharing the knowledge
Thanks so much!!
Spode has a Santa on top of the tree! Always!
Thanks for the warnings! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Just subbed
I don't understand how they can determine something is fake and they are not professional to determine this.I hot flgged on fb market place for a watch but has Ben authenticated by a jeweler.
You were very close to me and LucidCurious ❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻 happy to watch! Great deal!
Spode Christmas trees have a Santa at the top of the tree. You don’t even have to pick it up to look.
Don't forget Facebook, just talking to folks on most groups will get you suspended for 30 days
Just starting...thinking of learning Facebook..can you tell me what you mean by 'talking to folks on most groups will get you suspended ' means? Thanks!
Aww I wish I saw this years ago. My account got suspended because of that and I was so unaware of what I was doing. Now I'm like wow I wish I knew better. Still trying to get my account back up but it's much harder now.
Same here dude lucky enough I just got mine fix with a very reliable and professional expert! Called *FORTSON_TECH* he helped me a lot,lwas already desperate I think he can help you too,I suggest you send him a request
On Instagram
It’s really crummy when they suspend accounts for such as either oversight, inexperience, or trivial things. I would recommend new email, new phone number, and different name.
I’ve purchased snow globes all the time if they are in good shape and have all the water. I think you are the only RUclipsr that I have seen pick up a snow globe! I see so many directors pass then bye!
I did see a Baseball ; you push aside ; some of them baseballs that are signed are well worth something. Just for your information!
People charge too much money on eBay for shipping. That’s why nobody likes to shop on there. The shipping is way too high.
You are right and you also have to pay sales tax on your purchase as well
Take a pic with your phone and enlarge it or focus on the seal and enlarge with your phone.
Hello Beverly LM
I used to have one of those brass looking victrola record player thing...if you turn the center of the record it plays a song...like a wind up jewelry box
Your videos helped me flip (in one day!) a Jim Shore Wizard of Oz set. My mom was with me at the garage sale I found them at and she was amazed I picked the items up!
New Orleans is where I live and have began shopping Goodwills during the Epidemic which crazy that you guys shopped at the same Metairie location I used to go to more often and they barely changed that store to mostly Clothing but before then Hubby & I racked up plenty of amazing ceramic and porcelain items which were plentiful back 2 years ago at that spot. I am barely putting all my ducks in a row to begin reselling on EBay and love your channel and want to thank you for all your insight. It’s so funny I had looked at that same exact Foiled Tiger Piece and also was so disgusted that they wanted 14.99 for it which is the only reason I didn’t take it but also looked at the Turkey Platter you also did and got exited but the crack was a big bummer for me too so I passed . Prices have definitely changed between last year and now it’s so ridiculous for me to see cuz I know the prices they were a couple years ago and now have to do more searching for those pieces they miss which are Still out there. I found a Deruta Italian piece they priced at 2.99 and is a very rare Vinegar cruet piece with a deer 🦌 in the middle and you know I grabbed it quick and in a hurry. Much Love from New Orleans
Hello Laura Diaz
Love your videos. I’m a reseller in the Dallas area. Thrift stores are challenging here. I find good pieces but not in the bulk like those on the east coast or in Colorado. You’re a Houston area reseller so I’m wondering if you have the same issues? Garage sales sometimes yield some good stuff or church community yard sales.😊
Hello Susan wise
Alaskan here and I am much in the same boat here. Not much to pick from and very hard to navigate the shipping and selling part of it all.
Thanks for all the information you shared.
My pleasure!
I love Asian design dishes of any sort. I have some gorgeous bowl etc. but have no idea how to place a value on them.
It's Spode when the Santa is the tree topper!
Norataki with Moriage, gold, hand painted flower or decor, and the Nippon mark are all a price increaser.
I just had a pair of Jordan 1s Retros get rejected from eBay Authentication. I’m hesitant to dispute it because I just don’t know. They look and feel real in original box, but eBay didn’t give me any detail about why? How are we supposed to learn if they don’t give details?
Ooooh. That would be helpful
Some great info and tips, thank you 😊
Oh I have been to that one on the Westbank many a time before we left the area ,love the red white and blue.
Timestamp on the item that will get you suspended on Ebay, please.
For a little while, I bought nice businesswear in linen and wool; most especially things that the major fault was that it was wrinkled or needed repair. I would steam/dry clean/repair and put them up on eBay....DID sell most of them, but the new baby and full time job didn't leave any room for hobbies.
Great point!
I do much better on mugs at yard sales and flea markets than the big box thrift stores. Goodwill and Salvation Army are all about their bottom lines and they track the markets so they will raise their prices accordingly. Can’t touch a Starbucks mug around here at the thrift stores, Raye Dunn is also stupid high.
I have two angels similar to the one you showed. I think it’s a set of three: red, green and blue. Sadly, I’m missing the blue. Great tips, though!
After you picked up that flowered vase there was a round drip glaze pottery piece that I would have looked at had. It had a real small opening at the top. I don't know how else to describe it but I thought it was really cool I wonder how heavy it was and if it was of any value I don't know much about what to look at for resale but I liked that.
It was green.
No ideas on it?
Very good information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
If the Christmas tree has a Santa Claus on the top it is Spode.
Hello Cindi Weber
Oh man! I would’ve loved to have bought those floral frogs!!
I learned you can tell Spode if it has a Santa on the top. No need to even flip over.
Wish we had carts here in Oz, they expected U to carry it all
The Westbank used to have some great ones in Marrero or Westwego.
Spoede will always have Santa on top of the tree!!
Spid Christmas tree dishes will not have a star at the top of the tree. Always a little red Santa
The red white and blue in Florida is so good…
I could have watched you all day!
So long as you don't claim it to be designer you are fine..nobody has a corner on style
When you can't read labels, take a picture and blow it up
How do other sellers post items and get around all the preferences??? Like a plate from goodwill won't have much info yet ebay keeps asking for more details??? Once it would not let me post a platter because it kept asking me for more details!!!!????
I sometimes, go the opposite direction in thrift stores I frequent, it’s surprising how you see things differently from a different direction. Lol
@Bella-gj6wc, Such a good idea! Thank you!
I'm. Glad I only. Sell at the flea market
You gotta check the teeny tiny vases too.
I live in NOLA
Goodwill is getting a bit pricey.
Love that gravy boat...💙🤍💙🤍💙...
Thank you for your video I'm learning alot
The dish marked Japan was very nice and vintage.
you have a beautiful relaxing freindly voice . god bless
Thank you so much!
