They opened a new Goodwill by me, and the first weekend was amazing! T shirts 2 bucks, all regular shirts $4.99 I got Ralph lauren polo shirts with the tags for $5 Footjoy shirts NWT, Found a $600 Charvet Shirt, and 2 $600 Brioni Shirts etc. Did Awesome! Went back 2 weeks later to see if they had gotten anything new as I basically stripped it out on opening day. Nothing. All that was left was things that didnt sell the first week, and now it was all marked up lol.
This has been going on forever. I managed Lumber / Millwork at Lowes from 1999 to 2004 and we had guys we would call too. We would get alot of custom doors that were either ordered wrong or come in the wrong size etc. We would make some calls and sell tham at .10 on the dollar to get rid of them. i sold a bunch to family members that were replacing things, sold a $4,000 therma tru classic craft door with 2 sidelites and transom to my best friend for $400. Then we would call the contractors we knew next, and finally the junk man. We would mark down all the opened storm doors to 5 bucks. didnt matter if it was 50 retail or 500 retail. Garage doors were $20 fron doors $20 etc. we would dump 100 doors a month this way.
I actually sold a full bottle of Jack Daniels once. It was an older 90 proof version. I sold the “bottle”
They never catch everything, or they just dont have a clue, which is what makes it fun. Did Great yesterday at salvation army. They had half off all clothes. I got 29 Items for $67. 1 shirt I got will cover the whole trip and the rest is just cake. Ended up with 2 Hilo Hattie Vintage Hawaiian shirts, the last one identical to one of them sold for $79 Also got a pendleton shirt, 2 patagonia shirts, A Lacoste Flannel shirt, a Vintage LL bean wool lined mountain parka, a NWT Rodd & Gunn Shirt, 2 patagonia polos, 4 Under armour polos, a NWT Peter Millar Under shirt, a NWT Vineyard vines long sleeve polo, a foot joy polo, A tricots st laurent wool sweater, a few other 80s wool sweaters, a lambswool Brooks brothers vest, A Rockmount Ranch Denim shirt in Perfect condition, and a few Ralph Lauren Polo shirts. Amazing the deals you can find, when you know what to look for. A month ago I would have passed right over that rockmount shirt that I got for $2 and will most likely get $40 to $60 for.
Thanks for the tips! Not being off most weekends sucks when it comes to a lot of auctions. Sometimes I can get to Foxwell auctions in Cambridge and have done pretty good there with some Case Knives, Shotgun reloading equipment etc. I mostly do shirts, because I can find them at decent prices, and in Dover do surprisingly well on some high dollar brands. Lots of Dupont Execs in Delaware, as well as a lot of vintage wool from LL bean, Eddie Bauer etc. because it is still a hunting area. I am surprised at some of the deals I have gotten. 2 Thomas pink shirts for $2 each, Psycho Bunny Shirt for $1 Faconnable shirts for $1. I always look for other things, I just mostly do shirts. Easy to ship, and dont break during shipping as well, and If something happens, I am out a buck or 2. I also have been grabbing some high dollar clothes NWT at some thrift stores too. Got a Brooks Brother lambs wool herringbone sweater last week with a tag for $148, cost me $1.50.
