I like the Goodwill Outlet/Bargain Barn in North Port Florida. Clothing is $1.58 per pound and other items are cheap too. Just bought a Javits brand hat for 50 cents – quick Ebay sale for $50. Some Outlets are better than others, but they’re worth checking out.
I’ve also gotten quality clothes from places that don’t normally do clothes. Habitat for Humanity in my area gets clothing donations they want to sell quickly. Got a $5 Coogi sweater – sold for $85.
I’ll go in just about anyplace once and sometimes I get lucky.
Found a Lug Flapper Cross Body Bag $2.00 at Goodwill Outlet. Sold for $48.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/273203242923Old switch covers – $1.59 at Goodwill Outlet. Sold for $28. I love finding old hardware.

Auction starting price 19.99 with a Reserve of $79 because I was nervous about the auction. Bidding war shot the price up to $305, but the buyer couldn’t pay. Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.

I also look out for vintage lingerie, but I messed up probably my greatest purchase. I found a silk french nightgown years ago and didn’t do enough research. It sold in under an hour for $120 Buy It Now. The happy buyer said that it was from the 1920’s and had never been worn. The labels were also all in French.I have a yellow Costco Cart I’ve considered giving away because it seems like it would be a nightmare to pack and ship. Any tips on shipping a large item will be appreciated. It’s probably in the forums somewhere, but I’m still learning the site.
I also have a large MCM Gold Laundry basket I haven’t sold due to shipping fear. Are there any good videos on how to best pack these items? There are so many online, I get overwhelmed.
Thanks for the welcome. I’m pretty much a small seller, but want to expand. What I learn here will help.
Ohio has some great places to buy cheap stuff. Currently loving the Goodwill Outlet, where most people aren’t looking for the same things I am. I just need to get better at listening to the market.
