I use to donate to Goodwill so lower income people could get clothes at a discount...now you can shop at Walmart or Amazon and it is less expensive than Goodwill.
100@ agreed
Which is why we never go there anymore.
But shopping at Walmart makes the man the money. Goodwill is a nonprofit organization. Anything you donate and they sell goes right back into their mission. Their mission is to train adults with disabilities to go out into the working world. Then there are disabled adults that can’t learn how to go out into the working world so goodwill offers adult daycare so care givers can go out and work. I know people give goodwill a bad name but if you only knew and asked for a tour you might chance your mind. Please don’t come at me with how much the CEO makes. Every goodwill has their own area and believe me when I say the president of the keystone area in pa. Doesn’t make a million dollars that’s just ridiculous. Please reconsider when you want to donate the goodwill has a great mission.
If all their goods are donated and they sell them I'd call that profit! Are they training Walmart workers? (asking for a friend)@@Valjmsw
Truth. Goodwill is far from good will these days.
Pretty soon goodwill is going to price themselves out of business. They should be pricing things to get rid of them, not to make an occasional sale at a huge profit.
Their greedy, then all the high priced stuff that ends up not selling ends up at the Goodwill Bins.
EXACTLY! Who do they think they are?!
I feel the same way!! I was at a goodwill last week and the ladies tops were so tight on the rack you couldn’t push them to the side whatsoever to be able to look at them !! The goodwill has gotten so greedy a lot of things are cheaper brand new !! I can’t get over the towels and bed clothes also their curtains are so expensive and they keep hanging!!! Also what we see in the goodwill stores are almost the scraps compare to what is sold on their on line site !! They are making millions and millions!! They have gotten really greedy !!
The one near me closed 2 weeks ago without warning
Took the words out of my mouth !! Indeed they keep raising their prices they will definitely price themselves out business!!
Just went to goodwill today they had a metal rooster for $ 15.00. . I told a worker I bought one at TSC. FOR $10.00 . So she took it to the back and told them. It never came back out . They’ll do a on line auction with it prolly. GOODWIIL HAS GOTTEN WAY TO HIGH FOR OUR FAMILY .
They are even expensive on eBay
Oh I have seen our Goodwills have items out marked at $2-3 that I could go right then to the Dollar Tree and buy new for $1.25.
Goodwill sold a a gallon sized bag of mostly broken but still usable crayons my mom donated to them for $40 once. My mom saw them price it at $40. it was not worth $40. It was the easiest way to get rid of crayons my twin brother and I collected throughout our entire childhood when we no longer wanted them. No other thrift store would take them but i just hoped they lowered the price on those crayons because no one would pay $40 for mostly broken crayons.
You can put those broken crayons in the oven and make multi colored crayons
Goodwill is no longer a charity store and should be ashamed and the gou shouldn't let them be s non pry anymore.
Their prices are why I quit donating or shopping at goodwill. Their CEO makes a bundle from free clothes!
Yeah and he doesn't even come to visit the stores, or calls in sick when he is supposed to and never reschedules hah! We've got God on our side so there is no way we can loose.
i only check them for the possible deals on toys or things i like but that is about it. I once got a $200 2ft tall animatronic my little pony twilight sparkle in working condition for $5 because my brother found it at a goodwill. don't let them know what things are worth then you may get a deal. also that toy is $100 in used but working condition online.
Same here ...👎🏽 Goodwill.
Goodwill is the biggest scam out there, they get all their stuff for free, it's all profit. Then they get upset if you buy from them and sell at a flea market. We have junk shops around here trying to do the same thing, but still under cutting goodwill on their prices, so good on them.
They actually get upset at resellers?
A hat that goes from $1 to $2 is an increase of 100%. An increase from $1 to $10 is an increase of 900%, That seems like a very big increase!
Actually it's a 1000% increase!
@@kathleeningram3880 It is 1000% of what it was, which is 900% more.
(Kayla) little update: Julian has the flu everyone and is not feeling well. He will be back soon and will get to all the comments when he is feeling better. Thank you Everyone for watching and all of the continued support! We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas 🎁🎄.
Praying for Julian and hoping you avoid the sickness!❤️
Get well soon
I too have the flu it sucks get well soon to both of you because chances are your going to get it too
Get Well Soon! 🙏🏻😇❤️
Get Well Soon Julian ! Kayla can't do all the inventory shopping by herself... unless your Dad lends her a hand lol.
... speaking of Julian's Dad, it would be awesome to have him onboard for y'all's adventures ! The videos with him out and about hunting at yard sales with you were pretty cool !
Northwestern PA here - our goodwills have gone crazy with pricing - I was in a goodwill after Thanksgiving & they were asking $250 to $400 for “used” Christmas Trees. I walked out
Same in Northeastern PA. It's gross.
I'm over near Allentown and yeah, same thing here. If a T-shirt has any kind of pop-culture graphic they're charging $8 for it. Now, they still overlook some things, but for the most part, you can order the same shirts brand new online for what they're charging for secondhand shirts. I say good, let them price themselves out of the market. Dinosaurs went extinct once before...
That's basically what the pre-lit models cost new with an actual warranty.
😂
Eastern Pa. Here and my goodwill is not very good, some items sit on the shelves for wks, I always find broken items that I bring up front, inventory it's hard to find the nice pieces anymore, but yet I've noticed lately people r dropping off alot and it's piles outside, don't know , my store seems shady and they never have anyone outside to receive goods ????
I was at my local goodwill last week and they told me that all of their prices went by $1-3 an item. A shot glass that used to be $.99 was $2.99! Ridiculous! And anything that may have value gets sent to corporate to auction on their website…🤦🏻♂️
I got lucky that my older brother found a $200 2ft tall antimatronic my little pony twilight sparkle for my collection at a goodwill for $5. they didn't know that one google lense search would pull it up for $200 brand new and $100 used in working condition. it works but still they didn't think to check the price for it online.
I was there this week and found ADORABLE bikini for my lil 4 y/o butt thought it was strange they were priced separately....she said " all our items are priced separately" not always
Goodwill and Savers in New England states have drastically increased their prices. It has been said these stores are trying to discourage resellers. There are several church thrift shops in my area where I am finding much better deals on hard goods, clothing, jewelry, electronics, etc...
And yet, they themselves are resellers who don't even buy their merch. They get it almost at no cost to them. All they have to do is use some employee time to sort through stuff that was donated to them....
Of course they watch these videos. The surge of resellers from Covid have caused the jump in prices. They saw how much money was being left on the table and want that for themselves. Resellers specifically RUclips resellers are the main reason goodwill has caught wise. Is what it is unfortunately. We found a way to capitalize on a business and they then pivoted to benefit from us. It sucks for sure and I don’t even bother with goodwill because after I saw regular vhs players for $45 I said eff this.
Just go to the bins
@@RYEEEEEEEEEE not everyone has one nearby. Closest one to me is a 2 hour drive
@@everythingucollect damn, I forget
@@everythingucollect and I agree with what you said fam prices in the thrift are starting to become the market value price and that defeats the purpose of the thrift
The white ceramic are BISQUE which is Ceramic that can be Painted or Glazed & refired... Those at the 2:10 mark are crafters paint at home pieces. Some aren't finished and some can be repainted because they have not been sprayed with a coating to keep them looking good..Lot up the painted ones & sell them to a Crafter for Cheap & keep the unpainted ones to sell individually to crafters..Good for booth.
I saw a brand new sealed box of Christmas cards, TJ max sticker on the back was 5.99 Goodwill sticker on the front 8.99 🙄
Goodwill gets stuff for free... Do they really want to risk losing resellers that have been a big support for them. Same with Salvation Army they sell beat up shoes for up to 30 bucks or more. Sad these stores get greedy. It’s not like resellers are making millions off their donations. Some people are just getting by. Not to mention a lot of the stuff they don’t end up selling goes to the bins or the dump Anyway. 🤷♀️
Exactly! Most customer are there for deals, or starting out, or are trying to furnish their home or get clothes to wear to a new job. Goodwill is sooo greedy. I don’t shop there if I can avoid it-but only on 1/2 days regardless. Screw them!
My friend once saw a goodwill worker throwing away toys that were unopened and just like you would find at a store such as walmart. he took them from the worker and handed them to a local thrift shop that one peron owns and not a whole chain.
The problem with local thrift stores like the Goodwill selling hats for $10 is people think well it sells on the internet for that; maybe we should price for that in the store. Yet they forget to take into account the local and limited used market. Those $10 hats will either sell marked down or will end up in the Goodwill Bins selling for a fraction of the $10 to someone who is going to flip it online. Reseller's or RUclipsrs did not do this, inflation and expensive overhead did it. Note: Reseller are trying to make a living to supporting their families by working hard, its not as easy as it looks, but you are tuning your own business' which is rewarding. Doing video content as well is much more work than reselling, it takes lots of time to edit and put out good videos.
If Goodwill did help the community like they say they do then the prices would be more reasonable, but the money as far as i can tell mostly goes to upper management. I believe the President in each region has a 6 figure salary, at least in major cities.
$10 for hats?????? They are lost their minds!!!! One person already arrested from Goodwill corporate. It’s not enough for 100%. Prices are crazy!
Why were they arrested?
CEO in California was arrested for embezzling funds
@@lindajones5584 And there are over 150 other CEO's. Each region has their own CEO. They are not all run the same.
$1 to $10 would be a %900 increase.
In Rockville MD the Goodwill CEO was pulling items for himself - article on it on web. 2014 or so. I forget exact year. So corrupt! I witnessed workers in Frederick MD wheeling carts out for a popular thrifting you-tuber. I will not mention name but it concerned me. Is it staged for some youtubers? 🤔
My favorite Goodwill in Central PA no longer carries used textiles. They are setting up a boutique shop with new items. I asked my favorite counter guy because I was afraid I was missing the used blankets etc. Nope, they aren't putting them out any more. We both agreed the prices for the NEW items were too high - higher than Walmart. Looks to be the direction Goodwill is moving toward.
All we can do is pray they price themselves out……. You two keep doing what you’re doing. Love your partner!!!!!
I rarely go in a goodwill anymore. when they started putting ebay listings next to the items and mark it down just a few dollars i quit going. main problem is they take the highest listing too and not even from the sold items. i tried pointing it out to them one day and told them that the coke dispenser was available cheaper than the listing they had next to it and told them that ebay listing has been up over three years already and he was surprised i knew how long it was on there for. i did notice when i stopped once last summer they were not putting ebay comps next to the items anymore but still seemed expensive to me.
My goodwill (SA Tx) certain stores have priced things just ridiculous..certain caps are kept in the showcase ( Realtree, NFL, MLB) But they will sell an empty Yankee Candle Jar for $12.99 🤦🏻♀️ I’m looking more into yard sales and the bins and even the bins is slim pickings … thanks for the video .. get well soon ..
I haven't been to San Antonio since 2016! Miss it
Several people I know have stopped shopping at the Goodwill because of their terribly high pricing on everything now. Easier to go buy new at stores instead of them. But this problem was created by resellers posting videos unfortunately.
The efamous resellers have cashed in by trading in their bolos for views and Google adsense.
I used to live in Justin TX. It bragged it was the salvage capital. Might be worth a look if you are ever near Dallas.
I was told by my local Goodwill manager that the videos of resellers has caused corporate Goodwill to make changes. Starting January 7th all donated items are to be sent to the main store to have workers use google lens and if items are worth anything they are to be put on Goodwill auction site. Also there will be no more store sales, there is going to be $5.00 off when you spend $30.00 but you have to spend $30.00 at one shot. No more discounts or color sales. Also they are considering getting rid of the bin stores and selling pallets of items for $30.00 a pallet with something good on the outside of the pallet to entice buyers. When this happens I hope all resellers avoid all the Goodwill stores then maybe they will realize they are going to loose all of our business.
they will never get rid of bins
Lose! You wrote " they gonna baggy pants all our business" 😂
Boycott Goodwill until the prices go back down!
I know I have.
Lately I would go in to shop, but not find a thing worthy to buy, or even to resell. Quality is gone, quantity of broken, chipped and dented items remain.
Feel better soon buddy…. I’ll catch YOU…. On the NEXT ONE! Boom!!
I've sold unpainted lots of ceramic items on Ebay in the past, so if you have a decent number of unpainted ones that might work for you as a alternative to selling all of them in your booth---depending on comps, of course. 🙂
The hats prices were insane. I can't imagine what they're thinking with those.
I’ve been saying all along that you guys were shooting yourselves in the foot. Goodwill is all about money and covers all its bases. I’m sure they pay someone to watch all the thrifting videos and send out memos on the price updates!😂
Get well soon Julian From me and my furbaby in a wet and windy 🏴 Wales xxx
I might be wrong but I believe the figurines might be green ware. Paint and fire in a kiln for hard, shiny finish depending on the paint used. (Pulling from childhood memories when my mom used to craft a bit). Hope you feel better soon!
Believe your correct, hense the chalky residue on Julian's hand.
I was thinking chalkware
Not greenware. It’s already been fired. If it’s ceramic or it would been powder. Greenware is very fragile
Those pieces are plasterware and are not fired which is why they have a chalky feel and are not hollow like a ceramic piece. Ceramic greenware would be too fragile to throw in a box like that.
The figures could be plaster of paris. As far as increasing prices at GW it's like my mother used to say. "Cut of your nose to spite your face" Hope you feel better soon.
I'm learning new brands of men's pants, love those orange ones. Good finds.
Wow, our goodwills in Canada are different than yours. Our are actually a charity. But $10 for a USED HAT. Heck we pass them up here if their more than $3
I refuse to go there where their prices are higher than brand new. They're going to lose a lot of business
That is how it use to be. Now they are just greedy!
Respect for hanging stuff back up that has slipped off the hanger.
If you want to remove hard stains try wash in pinesol, I had hydraulic fluid in my field jacket in the military, for a year, someone told me that and it worked ,looked new again
Dawn works real well too!
If it's blood hydrogen peroxide works. it's what they use in hospitals to clean small amounts of blood that get on their clothes. let it sit for a bit and wipe it away. picks up the blood easily. i saw video of an actaul doctor sharing how they clean blook on clothes the medical staff wear in the hospital and that was it. i even tried it when i accidentally pricked my finger sewing a hole in a stuffed animal and it really works.
@@izoraiza7169 yes, it's true hydrogen peroxide removes blood ....not even CLOSE to as well as blue Dawn! I worked healthcare twenty plus years! Dawn is WAY better!
7:39 The prices will self correct, when the GW finds that things are not selling.
What they don't realize is that their market is limited to the local community. You can't charge premium online prices for dirty, untested stuff. I mean, I guess you could, but no one is likely to buy it. Resellers also buy a lot of stuff that most people just don't go after, and if they raise the prices and its at a point where we can't profit, they simply just don't make the sale. Thrift stores are just meant to be cheap. No one is going to Goodwill to pay full retail price, its just not the way it is
Ours is HIGHER than Walmart right now!!!! No thx
Just gotta pivot when things shake up. You've both got this!
Goodwill seems to be targeting things you do really well on....They should realize your videos are like free advertising bc I know everyone watches is hitting the local Thrift stores & they straight up taking the "Thrift" out of it.💯 Seriously I don't pay $10 for a new hat
I love Thrift Town in San Antonio, TX. Reasonable prices, a 50% off color tag and a 75% off color tag each week, PLUS an extra 30% off the total for senior citizens on Mondays!!🎉
I deal mostly in glass. Usually that is an untapped area, but someone found a vase that sold for $107,100 at auction about 100 miles from me, now everyone is buying everything regardless of margin. My margin rule is 10-1 price versus sold price on most items but goes down as the value of the item goes up.
I was shopping there January 8th found a 6 pack of ornaments from Walmart Labelling marked 3.47 with Goodwill sticker price for 5.99 no discount for after Christmas which still would have been ridiculous. I walked out after shopping for a few minutes. I couldn’t fathom their pricing. 349. For a dresser. 249. For a tv hutch for the old style tv’s. They’ve completely lost their minds.
Feel better real soon Julian. I hope you don't catch it too, Kayla.
The last 3-4 times I've gone to Goodwill I have bought nothing. Cause Goodwill has lost their minds out here in California.
Iowa too! Walmart cheaper
I live three hours from Pendleton Oregon. I have a beautiful Indian pattern Pendleton wool blanket. It is gorgeous. My husband has about three Pendleton will shirts that are from the 70s and 80s.
I rarely shop at Goodwill anymore. I usually shop at small chain or independent thrift stores. They seem more interested in moving the merchandise. My local salvation army prices resonable and are very interested in moving the merchandise. Wishing you a speedy recovery Julian!
Did I miss the 100k celebration?
Sending healing vibes. You might want to consider spray painting all the ceramics white again before selling. Just an idea
those are plaster of paris.... i made those for years... it is like chalk..
model railroaders use the same plaster to make mountains a scenery with it.
Be Grateful it’s just the hats are expensive. When you guys and the other RUclipsrs started showing what we were buying from them and then reselling items for. They tripled and quadrupled the prices here where I live on the west coast. Good luck!
yep I agree
Oh, feel better soon!
Eat those black eyed peas and greens for sure on new years!
Blessings
So Goodwill gets their stuff Free but they are willing to cut off their Bread and Butter custimer to stop pickers from finding deals! SMH Look for a Montgomery Biscuits Minor League hat for me! Condition is not a big deal but I do want it signed by both of you, maybe even a bite mark from Willow! I have probably 300 ball caps but I wear each one. I would never pay more than $3 for a second hand hat! Well, maybe a Filson. Speaking of hats, you need BTM bal caps! I will Catch You... On the Next One!
I think the Santa's were made from plaster I have bought them before for my grand kids to paint. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Just visited our local goodwill today and hats are 9.99. They are absolutely crazy. Sumter SC
The ceramic figures that are for you to finish painting can sell well online. Downside is they have some weight to them. Even painted people buy them.
Land's End is a good brand, but perhaps not quite as elite as it used to be. They used to be up there with LL Bean.
Cirque du soleil is a Canadian entertainment company that travels around.
I hope everyone gets to feeling better and I hope you all had a very merry Christmas
Take care Julian and get some liquids, soups and meds to get over whatever you have. I had the dreaded head cold and cough for nine weeks. Crazy stuff going around. Also those ceramic figures were pretty neat!
I purchased one of my goodwill Christmas boxes. $10.00, most of it was broken ornaments, parts of Christmas trees, chipped statues and floral junk. I was able to use one item out of the box. Sadly the rest went to the dump. Spent 10.00 for one usable .50 item. never again.
Use Zippo lighter fluid for grease stains. Works every time😊
Bro! You need to listen to Kayla. Seriously ! She has a good eye.
Hope your Christmas was wonderful for you two and Willow! ❤❤😇🙏🏻🎄👍
My sister does a lot of ceramics. I think what you had ( the unpainted decorations) was called Greenware. It has a Chalk feel to it. You paint it first then put it into the kilm to fire it up. Finished product is called ceramic and is glazee. I could be missing a step in the middle
Greenware is clay that hasn’t been fired yet, bisque after the first firing, then they are white. Can be painted with acrylics or glazed and fired again for the shiny glazed finish. But those don’t appear to be ceramic. Ceramics are slip (clay) poured into a mold and emptied after allowing time to setup. Then they are hollow, no holes in the bottom of those figurines. Maybe a type of plaster or chalk.
Texas here is getting out of hand. Plush at 5 to 8’dollars. T shirts are 7.99
Goodwill keeps getting more and more greedy. I have noticed they have hardly anything worth a crap anymore. The lady at our Goodwill said they are now under orders to ship entire product groups to Ecomm. All video games, all cast iron, all full sets of golf clubs with certain brand names. Etc, she said they comp things on Ebay and if it has a certain price point it gets shipped off. Mostly just junk lately and anything good is damaged or broken
I wouldn't doubt it. They know people are flipping them.
All the resellers who are tapping how much money they are making for profit. Nonprofit organization want to make that much to help their mission. That’s why prices go up
@@Valjmsw I've noticed you keep saying their mission. goodwill does help a few ppl that are disabled and displaced and they do help some out in other ways but it is nothing like they lead you to believe. I have worked for goodwill for a long time and they mostly employ just regular working joe smoe's that have to pay the bills. about 1/3 of employees with drug problems or just got out of prison with serious anger issues and they dont contribute much when you can actually get them to show up. but the bottom line is that the donation ppl, warehouse workers and sales floor are only payed minimum wage they are pushed hard to keep up strict production and sales goals and are stretched so thin because the others that dont show half the time and dont put in any effort. store managers in my area make about 60k a year plus very nice bonuses. management above that like GM's DM's and many more tittles make very good money plus very generous bonuses. there is so much more than you can imagine and it's not all that you and others are lead to believe.
I dont think its to help ttheir mission, i think its to line the pockets of the CEO's. They are just plain greedy!
Hey, on those paintable ceramics. Had a friend of mine. He used to paint them and then sell them at her Christmas purse and if she screwed one up, she would just go over it with white flat paint. She also tried the white chalk board paint and I can’t remember if she like that one better I think she did actually. So if you repaint them with white chalk board paint, then someone can repaint them again.
Awe sorry you're sick Julian. Rest up. Drink plenty of fluids. Feel better soon. 😊
Feel better soon! Stay hydrated.
The $8 bin you bought was full of PLASTER figurines. I use to paint alot of that type. Hence the white plaster dust you got on your hands. Not ceramic. Feel better soon.
Hopefully Julian will be feeling better soon. Wishing him a speedy recovery!🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry Julian is sick. This stuff is horrible! Been sick for over 10 days. Do get lots of rest, no kidding! If you have a sore throat, eat ice cream, for real! I nearly strangled to death on a lozenge! Hope you don't get sick, Kayla! Good idea for store sale. Happy New Year! Cat
Fruit Popsicles are good too.
Hoping you both had a wonderful Christmas as well.
Prayers for feeling better & staying well God bless! Happy New Year!
BTW I love the antler and I think it would have sold in your booth.🥰😉🤭
#21.14 in the electronic department it had a sign saying that you are " on camera " wel you are on camera back
It's always the titles that will lead thrift stores like goodwill to review the video. Titles like Goodwill paid for my vacation....Goodwill missed this one...Can't believe I scored this at Goodwill ETC. It is what it is tho. Happy hunting.
Yeah. There are so many videos with titles like that, no surprise that Goodwill managers would watch some of them. Of course, it's also worthwhile to remember that Goodwill are regional, so management for a store in Texas can differ from management for a store in Arizona (for example). There may be some regions that do not care about the videos, but it would be ridiculous for resellers to complain about Goodwill raising prices when there are numerous videos showing that things they sell in the stores can be sold online for more. Management is supposed to maximize profit, so that money can be used to fund their charity programs.
Wintertime comes harder for finding stuff. But for my locations... depends whos listing prices. I take advantage of tag sales and military discount days as well.
Hope Julian is feeling better 😊. Goodwill is crazy expensive in PA. God bless stay safe until the next video 💓 😍
Once ceramic comes out of the mold and is dry it can be painted. Then it is put into the kiln to bake at very high temperatures. Then is when the paint turns its true colors, and the ceramic piece is cured. That is why they ceramic dust was coming off on your hands. The items were basically “raw “still.
Now you get to paint all the Christmas decorations. Then glaze. Enjoy!
I rarely buy at the goodwill any longer the prices have gotten ridiculous ! But I still love to look. Iron Maiden is a band from the 80's. 😉
Our goodwill used to sell Stuffed animals for .50 to $1.00. They figured out i was a reseller and now the price is $5.00 to $17.00. I wont go to them.
I can go to the goodwill bins and pick them up in bulk
I highly doubt that your local Goodwill changed the prices on stuffed animals to spite you because you're a reseller...no offense, but that sounds a little silly.
goodwills where i live have some smaller ones in a 50cent bin, 2 for $1. the bigger ones are like $2-3. the bigger they are the higher they are priced. some electronic plush toys go for probably $5-$15 depending on the toy and if they know anything about it. My oldest brother has workers at the goodwills he goes to that know almost nothing about toys so they get priced lower. imagine the look on his face when he found out a 2ft tall My Little Pony Animatronic Twilight Sparkle toy he got for $5 at a goodwill was worth $100 in the condition it was in and $200 brand new. i had to let him know how much money he just saved buying it for my collection.
Get well soon
Seems like I find the best stuff in the Goodwill grab bags. Not always, but often enough.
I find the best stuff at goodwills where they don't know about certain things. my oldest brother goes to one that older people who don't know much about toys work at so i get good deals on My Little Pony for my collection. try getting a 2ft tall My Little Pony twilight sparkle animathronic toy for $5 when it is $100 online in used but working condition and $200 if bought brand new. It works just fine without any batterry corrosion too.
Julian and Kayla, I love your videos not only because you are teaching me but also the fact that you are good people. Love your personalities. Hope Julian feels better soon. Kayla, stay well.
I am laughing hysterically at the Iron Maiden tee shirt! It a rock n roll group! Heavy metal! And to top it you 2 don’t know who they are!!
I'm 68 and I know who they are lol
@@vickiehanan5686
I am 67 and know who they are! I would hate for them to find an old group tee and really not know who they are! I found a Tower of Power tee shirt and it sold like $20 !
Good video, thanks for the content! Always enjoy watching resellers going through items. Everything sellers are so much fun to watch.
What I've noticed with clothing is that brand-wide bolos are becoming more and more rare...resellers have flocked to popular brands and mass resold them. Regular old J Crew & Ralph Lauren used to sell for a profit no matter what it was, for example; now it's mostly not worth picking up.
These are brands everyone who resells at any amount knows about, and noobs will pick up all of it thinking its valuable (especially RL).
Honestly, I don't think Goodwill is going to suffer if the majority of resellers quit buying. The only thing the prices are doing is making it more difficult for run-of-the-mill & part time resellers. People who've been doing it for decades and/or are niched down in specific categories can still go in and grab items to make money with.
Pricing a hat at $10 means you can't just go and buy all the hats and still make a profit; you have to actually know which ones are worth money, or stand there and look every one of them up. It's STILL worth paying $10 for a hat that will net you $50, and a good clothing reseller will still buy it. Joe reseller will pass on it, so it only helps the experienced resellers.
The market is flooded with casual resellers right now. I believe seller count on eBay almost 10x after CoVid, so the higher prices can only serve to separate the wheat from the chaff and eliminate the lower hanging fruit.
Also, the hats went up 1000% if they went up from 1 to 10...just to nitpick ;)
Goodwill reviewing your videos so they can now price Filson pants for 50-75 bucks.

Lands End was an independent brand and was acquired by Sears.
They used to be a good Wisconsin company that sourced most material from US mills before the acquisition. Of course now it is hard to find US sourced fabric.
Sending prayers!
Stains that have gone thru the Dryer are SET ~ That means permanently there...
This is a myth...I've seen lots of clothing that's already been dried restored to good condition.
Praying that Julian gets well soon and I will be praying that you do not catch it also love you guys so much God bless you and stay safe and I pray well
The santas are most likely plaster, ceramics are usually hallow. If the faces are painted well, I would paint them colored ones with gesso to return them to white, so someone can paint them themselves
Feel better soon, Julian.
Hey get well soon Jullian and you look after our man please Kayla and we will see you both when he is up and about again..👍🇦🇺🦘
Get well soon, Julian!!
I felt this way years ago, too expensive! I've been there once when they first opened, too spendy. Then I went in about two years later, again, too spendy. Not going back.
I call them Ill Will for good reason. Ten bucks for a HAT? What happened to helping the Disadvantaged? People yell about resellers, but resellers are often traditionally the disabled or retired, and regardless just trying to earn a living. Meanwhile, the Ill Will jacks up prices and in my area sends anything worth buying to online sale for close to full retail. They send the store junk and mistakes (with resellers hunting the mistakes). Hats here run around $5, but they're few and far between for anything even worth the $5. I've found used jeans for $12, which is ridiculous. Pants, nice shirts.... all gone. Land's End? Try shirts starting at $10 - no good for resale. I ran into two resellers (I used to be one but got out and am glad I did.) today and both had their hands empty. We won't see a yard sale until the end of April or the beginning of May, so it's estate sales and thrifts in the meantime, but those thrifts aren't looking too thrifty.
I try to only buy clothes at GW if they are half off. No point in over paying for things they get for free. BTW - there are only three thrift stores where I live, so pickins are slim!
I love the tag line "That aint bad!"
The ceramics … even if they had turned out to be not worth selling, I’m glad you grabbed them.
You thought they were cool and would have never quit thinking about them. Eight dollars is super cheap peace of mind. 😊 You would have always wondered what was in the box.
