Thanks MyCottage
That’s where I am now
Trying to transition out of lower end clothing and diversify.

Thanks

Great points, Jay

I’ve been moving toward higher end Mens clothing, so I will keep an eye out for those posts.
But I’ve got a lot of côntemporary commodity clothes
Luckily, my cost basis is pretty low.

Sorry I should have been more specific

I was mostly referring to clothes
Nice brands, but with lots of competing items.

I’ve been concentrating on listing.
I have 1,155 items listed.
And I’m running out of storage space TBH
So I’m running some sales

It’s nice stuff, so I have a hard time hitting the low bid on EBay

Thanks Jay
So helpful
Hope you guys found great stuff this weekend 🤔

That’s a great point- yes many of the Bev Hills houses are just normal houses that are worth $2M. I still go to as many as I can. Especially on Sunday when the clock is ticking and they need to move merchandise.

And I found this great bag that I’ve been using. It’s a shoulder bag but it’s plastic and completely see through. So far they allow me to bring it in. I love it. At the last sale people were like, oh that’s so smart.

Let me know if you guys come back. It would be fun to meetup with you both. I need to up my dish, porcelain, and antique game!

ps- I was at a sale today and bought some of those craft stamps Ryan was talking about.

I’m not sure if all Estate sales in other areas are like this but most estate sales here they have a security guard, a sign in list,
and no bags allowed. And high prices.

[thefrugalprof]

Yes. Estate sales are usually priced pretty high.
Except on Sunday when they normally reduce prices by 50%.
Every so often there’s an estate sale from someone famous or known
and the lines are crazy.
Have to be strategic.
