HIT The MOTHERLOAD! Lalique! ~ PYREX! Thrift with ME Goodwill Sourcing RESELL eBay PROFIT

Introduction

In this exciting trip to the Goodwill store in Trout, New York, we explore an array of potential treasures perfect for resale on eBay. It’s been a week since our last visit, and already the thrill of the hunt beckons us into the store. Upon entering, we immediately notice a collection of Avon glassware and vibrant collectables that catch our attention.

Glassware Bonanza

Among the treasures, we spot an interesting ashtray for just $ 2 and a colorful Avon peacock. There’s also a piece of redware from Japan, priced at $ 4, but its painted design leaves us hesitant. Skimming through other sections, we discover coasters from Avon and compact discs but decide to pass on smaller items.

Unique Finds

An intriguing planter set for $ 5 piques our interest. It’s a unique find that pairs well with another vintage item, sparking our memory of last week’s visit. Continuing our examination of the shelves, I find a Ladybug decor piece and a Czechoslovakian hobbyist item priced at $ 3—items that don't quite call to me.

However, a chic mid-century modern Chinese wall art frame priced at $ 6 catches my eye instantly. We also uncover Crocs that are brand new for $ 10—definitely worth researching, particularly as they’re a popular brand that tends to resell well.

More Crocs and Pottery

As I navigate through aisles, I find even more new Crocs, this time platform shoes that fit into our cart. I’m confident Michael can flip these for a good profit. Our search for a special mug from Death Wish leads us elsewhere, and while I find some cute pottery and hobbyist collectibles, I’m careful to select pieces with substantial resale value.

Amidst the hunt, we stumble upon some floor mats for a Subaru, but at $ 10, they don’t seem to justify great resale potential.

Captain's Treasures Stop

Our adventure then takes us to Captain’s Treasures, where we explore an even wider selection of items. Here, I discover some incredible finds, including a signed Lalique piece—worth a whopping $ 150, though it’s half off! I can't resist picking up a turquoise Pyrex refrigerator dish for $ 6 and an adorable signed bear for $ 4. The huge glass clam dish draws my eye too, costing only a dollar.

As I rummage through the colorful collection, I gather a few more items such as unique pottery and handmade goods, all adding to my haul. I even spot some vintage napkin rings and a meat grinder that piques my interest at $ 2.

The grand total of the day comes out to around $ 30, with the highlight being that prized Lalique find. I plan to list it on eBay for about $ 35 to $ 40, anticipating a solid profit.

Conclusion

This journey through thrift stores reveals the thrill of discovering hidden treasures. From impressive glassware to vintage dishware, each item tells a story and holds the potential for profit. With an assortment of clothing I picked up for just $ 2 each, I eagerly look forward to listing my finds online. Stay tuned for more thrift adventures!
