If you’re like me, you’ve probably got a closet full of clothes that you haven’t worn in months. Mostly because you feel bad about getting rid of them or “they’re really cute!” and you’ll probably fit into them one day… Well, I’m giving you permission to get rid of them! However, we’re not going to …
Years ago, people made a full-time living with Craiglist. They would buy underpriced items from their local Craigslist and sell them on eBay or to pawn shops. When Craigslist no longer had the right buy/seller ratio to support that, resellers moved on to thrift stores. Craigslist was then dominated by personals ads, pawnshops, and car …
Pretty much every thrifter I talk to has strong feelings about which thrift stores are better than others. More often than not this is simply because the specific stores in their area are not a good example of all the others. As in, they might have the worst Goodwill in the world in their town …
For many people deciding where to thrift (or donate) they are left deciding between Goodwill and The Salvation Army. Because of the accusations leveled at many thrift stores over the past years (okay, mainly at Goodwill) many people (including me) are left wondering which is better. Should you donate to Goodwill or The Salvation Army? …
I’m one of those people that lives in a small house with way too much furniture. Nearly every piece of wall has a cute hutch, a trunk, a couch, an antique chair, or another thing that I simply couldn’t leave behind. It didn’t use to be such a problem. If I didn’t want more furniture, …
No matter how much you love thrifting I’m sure you’ve been disgusted by something you’ve found while looking for treasures. I’ve had the misfortune to find a container of old baby teeth, used sex toys, and even a shoe full of poop. Oh and don’t forget period-stained pants. So many period-stained pants. It’s a well-known …
Many people consider shopping at thrift stores to be an activity for poor people and hipsters. They’re missing out. Shopping at thrift stores is the best way (in my opinion) to get great deals on items that you could never find or hope to afford otherwise. This is especially true of larger items such as …
I always hated haul videos. I’d like to pretend that I was disgusted by the overt consumerism but, the truth is, I never enjoyed watching people unbox a bunch of bags or clothes worth more money than the entire Christmas for my family. Then I discovered thrift store hauls and my life changed. Well, not …
The first iPhone I ever owned was an iPhone 5. My parents wouldn’t buy me anything but a flip phone so I wanted into a Verizon store and plunked down $600 for a brand-new phone (and a two-year contract). I would like to say that I was young and dumb but really I was just …
It’s everybody’s dream to make money from thrifting. Or, at least, everybody that I hang out with. These days, however, every time my wife and I go to a thrift store we feel far less bad about spending a hundred dollars on strange clothes and ’80s cat decorations. Why? Because we’re resellers, baby! As of …
